It's Quiet... Too Quiet?

I assume that's just because everybody is busy playing "Elden Ring:
Shadow of the Erdtree". I know the base game was quite popular here,
so I suspect many of the regulars here have rushed out to buy the
recently-released DLC on day one.

Not me, though. Souls-games never grabbed me the way they did others;
I play them, but that style of gameplay is more a detriment than bonus
in my eyes. And the big open world of "Elden Ring" also doesn't help;
I'm /tired/ of all these giant games. I never thought I'd say this,
but I miss the era when I could get through a game in ten hours.

But more power to those who enjoy this sort of thing. Just, um, maybe
drop by Usenet and say hello every now and again? ;-)
