What have you been playing lately?

For interactive entertainment I've recently been playing Hollow Knight and working on a "perfect" game save file for FF7. And Khan Academy because shoring up my mathematics knowledge is its own form of entertainment.

For non-interactive entertainment I've been playing a variety of things trying to discover new (to me) music. A non-exhaustive, in-no-particular-order list: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jeff Lynne's ELO (the new iteration that needs to be called "Jeff Lynne's ELO" to avoid copyright issues), Piotr Tchaikovksy (ironically, there was something about his music being "cancelled" after Russia invaded Ukraine that drew me to it), Naughty By Nature, A Tribe Called Quest (I noticed yesterday that their song "Can I Kick It?" features the guitar intro to Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side"). I wrote this comment while listening to "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I keep a blog about the stuff I've been playing: https://theandrewbailey.com/index/Gaming/

In gaming terms, nothing really. There's a couple of MUD's I log into every now and again, and I dabble with Battlestar (IF / Text game) every now and then.

Aside from that, I have a RetroPie setup with a bunch of pirated ROM's laying around, and in theory I might play some old 90's era SNES games or something now and again, but in practice it's probably been 6 months or more since I even touched that.

I got to the final boss of Elden Ring and then got really busy, so I need to find time to finish that before I lose momentum (the last time this happened, I put down Dark Souls 3 in the middle of one of the DLC bosses and never picked it up again).

HN karma farming. It's very addictive.

Games: LotRO, Urban Dead, Pardus, Flare

Music: Random mixes from my ~10000 song library. Or my guitar.

Games? Music? Something else?
