I've been playing pokemon Scarlet since January and I still haven't finished it. Life got in the way of my gaming I guess ( having 2 baby's*, getting my blue belt in bjj, work related stuff). I'm hoping to finish it before July.

*I was not the one giving birth thankfully, it looked really painfull.

Don't push yourself. The real life is always more important than gaming. Congrats on the two babies, btw. Side note: Pokemon Scarlet took me quite a while too, but it was a fun ride nevertheless. I liked it a lot.

Congrats! I'm going to become a father soon as well.

There's nothing wrong with becoming busy with outside of gaming.

It took me exactly a year to beat Pokemon Sword and its expansion but still worth it because I enjoyed it and that is what matters the most, as long as you are enjoying the game.

So far Immortals and in between a few games of Apex and Helldivers, few Slay the Spire here and there. I decided to give Outer Worlds  another go. Booted up my PS4 and found my copy, this was main due to Fallout 4's up coming next gen update, wanted to try Outer Worlds again as a taster.

Picked Hard, and... well it wasn't hard but that's besides the point. I had a fun time but don't really feel like I had a different experience than I did last time I played. Maybe as it has been so long since the first time I played (when it came out) that I'd forgotten what I did then and might have just ended up wit the same build but by like level 15 I'd maxed out some stats anyway and was moving on to others. Outside of playing on survival mode (which I tried years ago and gave up as Parvati died in the first time I got into) or picking Intelligence 1, not sure what else much I can do different. Still fun regardless.

Now just waiting for the Fallout 4 update, see how that differs.

+ Persona 3 Reload (Xbox Series X)
