Stray Gods, a roleplaying musical. More of an interactive musical than something with deep gameplay features. Kinda like a point-and-klick but you choose where the musical number goes. Inbetween the numbers there is a whole slew of talking to folks, investigating scenes etc.

Would have passed over it as it was far from my regular cup of tea. So I’m glad I “stumbled” into Overly Sarcastic Productions critique of it. May be the Detail Diatribe of theirs I’ve been the most glued to. And then I needed to play it myself.

As I barely have managed to squeeze in 5-10 hours of gaming per week this winter season the thought of spending 300+ hours in a single game is overwhelmingly daunting. A year with a single game. Ugh…

My best gaming experience this last year was with a short game that I knocked out in a weekend. Got a good satisfying experience and a conclusion to it. Git me rethinking things.

Working on it… Cleared tutorial island for the second time, took a breather and now its been a couple of weeks. Sigh. Soon I will have lost the feel for the run and start over.

II know things doesn’t scale but I would love a AA cRPG at BG3 standard but a fifth of the length. Then I may actually finish it. 20-30h experience would be just great.

For me it’s contentment. A satisfaction in where I am and who I am. Being able to see the beauty and appreciate the small things. No need for more. And no longer comparing myself at my worst to others at their best.

I cook large batches of stew every now and then, freeze in 2 or 3 portion packages. Then each sunday I prep some carbs, defrost and pasteurize stew and put it all together. Boom! Lunches ready to go into the work microwaves.
