## Playing

I'm back on my *Fields of Mistria* bullshit now that we're home. At this point, I've exhausted a lot of the content currently available, which isn't a bad place to be — I've *seen* just about everything (except heart events, which I really don't interact with in these types of games) and now can focus on 100%ing things and beautifying my farm. There's still a few things that will unlock at higher town ranks, and I can keep looking forward to the regular updates.

I picked up *Baldur's Gate 3* again when my new monitor came in so that I could see something that isn't just pixel art. I'm in early Act 3, but I feel a bit frustrated and disillusioned with the game. I feel constantly as though I'm missing out on things, I save scum every roll, and I'm looking up every decision I make for its ramifications. I know I need to just trust the playthrough and let things unfold naturally, but I'm also obsessed with having the best possible outcomes and seeing everything — the game is *so long* that I don't see myself replaying it any time soon. I'm also just fatigued with it, in a way. I thought time away from it would help, but it hasn't. There are so many running storylines, and I'm so ready for an end to be in sight, but I know that, in all likelihood, I have a good 20 hours left ahead of me. Long, deep games are a good thing when you're in the mood for it, but I'm ready to just be done.

I also know I've missed out on two stories — one relatively minor, the other really fucking major — due to the game's frankly baffling design decisions. Long, deep games are a good thing when you're in the mood for it, but I'm ready to just be done — I love so much of what is here, but I also feel like I'm fighting against the game.

## Listening
|

I listened to *Tapestry* by Carole King. I'm not really sure why — I knew it wasn't really going to be for me. It's a legendary album and I'm sure deserves its place in music history, but as an individual listener in 2025, I found it a bit ho-hum.
