Media I've been consuming during quarantine:

1) Latest season of Better Call Saul (a reminder of how quickly the concept of waiting a week between episodes of a TV show has become alien to me. Weekly schedules are for webcomics!)

2) A re-read of Hunter X Hunter manga

3) Brooklyn 99 season 6 (dropped in Netflix, or at least local Netflix, about a week ago)

4) Latest Worth the Candle update batch, finished yesterday

5) Started Ninefox Gambit out of the book recs list

6) An extensive let's play of a Factorio modpack

7) Playing Factorio itself

8) Also playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker

this is approximately my life now.

(I also sleep, do very occasional household maintenance, and spend time on social media, I suppose. I eat but most often simultaneous with one of the above. I have been known to talk to people.)

For better or for worse, it would much rather be Neverwinter Nights than Pillars of Eternity. It wants to tell a story with interesting characters and a compelling villain, but that story is based around fantasy characters in a fantasy world dealing with fantasy problems. It's not like when Pillars wants you to have an opinion about abortion or organized religion or what have you.

Ooh, that sounds good. Neverwinter Nights (or, well, Neverwinter Nights 2, not so much the original) was among my favorite games when I was a kid.

(I never got far enough in Pillars to reach the plot, so can't fully appreciate that side of the analogy, unfortunately.)
