I thought I would make it all the way through winter without getting ill. We’re practically touching March. Yet, despite being within spitting distance of the clocks changing and bright evenings returning, I have the lurgy. This weekend, I will practice the art of the double duvet sausage roll.
I would hope we’re all familiar with rolling over and over in a duvet until we’re wrapped up in its insulating down, for all outward appearance becoming a blanket sausage roll. Of course, to the true artist there’s more to it. You’re not really looking for a sausage roll effect, that would mean your feet are exposed to the elements. That wouldn’t do. You must tuck a bit of blanket between your feet so that when you roll, the end of the duvet becomes a tight little hat for your toe hands.
Toe hands? I think the virus has got to my word store. I best let the team take it from here.

Against the odds, my group has returned to Overwatch. Which is now Overwatch again, rather than Overwatch 2. We had a look at the Stadium Mode for the first time last night, and it’s rather overwhelming, but it reminded me how good a game Overwatch still is. We always end up giving it up after a while though, because we’re just a group of 3, and it becomes too frustrating to be let down constantly by random teammates playing their own game. Maybe this time will be different. Or maybe we just need to find more friends. Or perfect the cloning process.

God help me, I’ve started playing Dota 2 again. Only against bots for now, but I’m already finding them too easy to roll over, so I might have to hurl myself off that cliff and into the raging sea of unranked All Pick. Has my constitution remained strong enough after my time away? Can I learn all the updated ward spots? Do I understand enough Russian swear words? I just don’t know.

It’s more Nioh for me this weekend as I pulverise the remaining bosses that I’ve missed in this game’s sizable maps. Hullo, have you seen our weapons tier list? Give it a look and then join me as I repeatedly charge up my axe to deliver grand retribution to yokai-in-hiding everywhere.

I’ve managed a few runs through Mewgenics’ alley and sewers so far, so my churning army of feline friends will likely face more this weekend. Despite generally being a bit crap at turn-based combat, I’m faring surprisingly well so far, which is probably a sign that I’m about to hit a boss I’ll end up stuck on for a month solid.

Valentine’s Day weekend, you say? NOPE! IT’S REANIMAL WEEKEND! While you’re all out there appreciating your partners, eating heart-shaped pistachio chocolates and holding hands over romantic candle-lit dinners, I’ll be running away from a mutated lamb titan with human limbs sprouting from its spine. Yes, this is definitely by choice. No, we won’t consider that I’d maybe have plans for Valentine’s Day if I didn’t keep talking about mutated lamb titans with human limbs sprouting from their spines.

If I break out of the swaddling embrace of this duvet I want to play some XCOM 2. I’ve a hankering to kick some alien invaders out of our solar system. I could do that in Terra Invicta, but the slow build of that grand strategy’s ramp up is putting me off playing. If I have an hour to play something, I want it to feel like I can do something meaningful. It’s also why I’ve been playing quite a bit of Ball x Pit lately.
And you, reader dear, what are you playing this weekend?
