Had you asked me six months ago if I had expected to play not one but two horticulture-based games, I would have thought that improbable. And yet, here we are.

A YouTube comment described Sable as Breath of the Wild without combat and that maybe it was better that way. I’m inclined to agree on both counts, though my experience with Sable was seriously marred since they clearly did not have the same titanic budgets for polish available to Nintendo.

by LepcisMagna 
The Fermi Paradox asks the question: if the universe is as large and old as it appears to be, why is it that Earth harbors the only life we can see? The more amusing version of this is: why can we see any stars at all? Why haven’t they all been converted into Dyson Spheres in service to a previous civilization that arose a mere million years earlier than our own? Given our own rate of development, it seems likely that any civilization serious about survival would have already captured any suns it could.

After accidentally stumbling across C.G.P. Grey starting a playthrough of it on YouTube, I figured now was as good a time as any.

Monster Hunter: World
by LepcisMagna 
I have no idea what I think of this game. For that matter, I’m not sure when I will know what I think of this game. I’m only writing this because it seems like it might be tens of hours before I can really make a determination and I don’t want to be thinking of writing this impression that entire time. But I’ll do my best here for now.
