What Have You Been Playing... IN APRIL 2024?

   Another movie & book month for me.  I did fire up the tutorial for
Homeworld 1 Remastered, but the initial hump of starting a new game
hit me
hard and after fumbling with learning keystroke commands & finishing the
10minute tutorial I decided I had to set it aside for a bit.  I did
watch
15+ movies & finished 4 or 5 books in April though!  I will try to
switch
gears to a gaming focus in May, I promise!

I haven't read a book in a long time.
 
I've mostly been watching Star Trek Discovery of late.  With a dash of
Lower Decks, which I didn't like initially, but my daughter wanted to
watch and it's grown on me.  Lower Decks isn't entirely appropriate for
her age, but I'm not about to shut it off for some sex remarks.

I've very much got back into books and one of the good thing about it is
as myself and my better half have some rather different views on what we
want to watch on TV it means I can sit on the sofa and just read.

I go through bursts of different media.

One month, I might be focused on YouTube. Then, next month, I notice
that there's been a bunch of movies and TV shows I haven't watched
yet; better catch up! Oh no, all that time spent on movies means I
didn't read all those fascinating articles in magazines or on
websites; well, I know what I'm doing that month! And around and
around and around, trying desperately to keep up with all the media.

Admittedly, books get short shrift. I usually turn to them as I wait
for the lists of other media to 'recharge'. But that's because I tend
to become so engrossed that a whole evening can disappear devouring a
single book (some novels are worse than Sid Meier's Civilization
games! ;-).

Meanwhile, amongst all this I feel obligated to play computer games
too. Oh, and then the family needs talking too occassionally. And
there's that annoying outdoors that keeps demanding I enjoy long walks
in the woods...

Really, we need to slow down the planet's rotation by 25% so there's
more time per day. Can somebody get on that already?
