Finished this year (so far)

• Stray (review)
• Oxenfree II (review)
• Tails: the Backbone Preludes (review)
• Not sure if it counts, but I finished the “Hot Wheels” DLC of Forza Horizon 5

Unfinished (yet) or not finishing

• Tunic - got absurdly hard at some point, dropped it (review)
• Hot Wheels Unleashed - was fun, but got bored of it
• Lapin - started it, but dropped, maybe I’ll finish it at some tine. Too much dialogue and speed running it you lose the story.
• Need For Speed Underground (the OG one). Installed it and made it work as a lul on the SteamDeck, but eventually stuff gets too fast and too small for the SD screen and it makes it hard to play. Fun trip down memory lane tho.

I’m subscribed to the RSS of most travellers in the webring, and while some write very well, I sometimes start some reading when I’m in the train, or taking a shit and after two-three phrases, I realize it’s a well-thought, well-written, hard-worked article. And out of respect for them, I mark it back as unread and take my time with it.

Blogging (or posting on forums or whatever) is basically transposing your thoughts into writing (but sometimes in an edited and filtered way), as most people let their articles simmer a bit before hitting “post”, even if for a minute to re-read stuff.

Thinking, in essence, is just a long inner conversation with yourself. Sometimes you monologue when you need to keep a train of thought, sometimes you have a dialogue with yourself, sometimes you just ask yourself rhetorical questions. Staying on one subject for more than three seconds or jumping from idea to idea varies from an individual to the next one, but can also apply to the same person on different moments of the day. And even if you have only single sentences or a monologue, it’s still a part of a greater “work of art” which is another chapter written by your mind.

Unless, of course, [you have Dr. Dre to be your conscience].
