First off, media.

• I played all the way through The Room. A few of the puzzles were confusing, but I overall enjoyed it.


• I continued playing Sticky Business. I bought all of the DLC for it this week so as far as the stories go, I have a ways to go.


• I played all the way through Minami Lane. I have to go back through and get the three achievements I missed. I also want to start playing the freeplay mode at some point.


• I played all the way through Strange Horticulture. Like with The Room, there were a few puzzles that were confusing, but I still enjoyed it enough that I'm going to get Strange Antiquities at some point.


• I played through a little bit of WooLoop. I enjoy it (I bought all of the currently released DLC), but I can only play through 2-3 levels at a time because it hurts my wrist.


• I got 1 ending in Beecarbonize. I'm not sure I'm going to play again, but it was fun for what it is.


• I started playing Ooblets. I'm planning on playing more of it, but I have a big backlog and this is probably going to be a long one.


• I started playing The Royal Alchemist. I managed to get pretty far, but you have to do so much stats juggling. It reminds me of Long Live The Queen in that way. The last sentence for Ooblets also applies here.


• I also started playing Ship Inc. The packing mechanic can be a little frustrating, but it's nice to go in and play a day or two and then do something else.


• I played a bit of Left 4 Dead 2 and PlateUp! with my mom yesterday. We didn't make it far in PlateUp!, but we almost finished the first campaign in Left 4 Dead.



I only read Inklings of Invisibility: Essays on Asexual and Aromantic Traces in Speculative Fiction this week. I didn't read all of the articles because a good portion of them I read when they were originally published, but I made so many highlights in "Asexuality Has Been Around Longer Than You Think".

I did get a bunch of books in the Ace Pride Week Mega Bundle today and I have a big physical backlog so hopefully this week I'll read more.

I started using TrackBear for word count tracking after someone on Patreon mentioned it and it's been motivating like nothing else. I'm not entirely sure why, but whatever works. Especially since now I'm much closer to a VN demo release than I was 2 days ago.

That's everything for this week. Hopefully I actually manage to do these weekly.
