Finished Chapter 5 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I was shocked when that happened! Had many different theories going on in my head, but they explained it soon afterwards.

I maxed affinity level of Elma, and watched all her Heart-to-hearts. Lin and Irina are almost max level, but need a dog to watch their Heart-to-Hearts, which will get to max level.

Did pretty much all the affinity missions that were level appropriate and I met the requirements for. Was going to start Chapter 6, but turns out I need to atleast 20% survey level of Noctilum, but I am only at 5%, as I was spending most of my time in Primordia and Oblivia. Haven't even stepped foot in Cauldros and Sylvalum.

Am I playing it wrong? Should I explore more? I try to explore but there are high level monsters everywhere and then I die, and think maybe I am not supposed to go there yet. Going to explore Noctilum now, so that I can start Chapter 6.

Dropped Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Started the game, and I just didn't feel like playing. So decided to drop it.

Looked at games in my backlog and decided to start The Surge. Have been itching for a souls like for a while now. Was waiting for Dark Souls Remastered to go on sale, but since it wasn't on sale atm, went with The Surge.

I am at 2nd level / stage, the game feels nice. Not at the level of FromSoft ofcourse, but in no way a bad game. Died a few times in general, lots of time at the first boss, but eventually got (a little) gud and beat it. Now kind of stuck at a place, which seems optional, but there seems to be treasure there so want to get it. After dying a dozen times, couldn't take it any more and switched to another game.

Started Subnautica. I haven't played any real survival game, and have been meaning to try some for quite some time. This felt like a good time to start one. Took some time to understand the basics, and am finally at the point where I don't have to worry too much about the food and water. Well, a little bit about the water, but not about food.

I am ready to start my first base. Planning to make it below my life-boat thingy. I am still not sure if the game has any goal, or if it's just a sandbox where you survive as long as possible. I don't like open-ended games too much, so not sure how long I'll play it. Currently unlocking new stuff regularly so no issue right now. Let's wait and see.

Well, that's about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Had the Framily over, so electronic entertainment was reserved for the kids. Lots of Kirby and Smash happening on the television while I snuck away to play board games with some of the adults.

I played Cabo, the card game where you are trying to get the lowest score before going out, but you can’t see your opponents’ cards, so it’s tough! Managed third place! Out of three…

Played Maglev Metro, a railway/subway pickup and deliver game about shuttling robots to where they needed to go around Berlin. This is my second time playing this game I’ve owned for nearly ten years. It has a lot of little rules that led to me and my companion taking “oh, I cheated” turns undoing actions. When I think about the Switch 2’s price per hour I’ll be playing it, these $60+ board game purchases look insane.

Played Clank: Catacombs again and still was unable to escape to the surface! Second place, though! And the one person who did escape earned a distant third. I can’t wait to bring that one out again!

I did get in a lot of Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent yesterday and this morning. I finally finished a post-game dungeon to grind for material! But I’m still too afraid to continue with the main story after getting walloped last time (in 2024). Maybe when summer vacation arrives…

Clank: Catacombs seems a bit like Carcassonne, will check some videos.

Cabo also looks interesting. May try a couple of games with standard deck, and get the dedicated deck if people enjoy it.

Good luck with main story!
