I haven't been playing a ton of games over the summer, but I've played a few.

I bought a tiny puzzle game called Press Ctrl that is exactly what the name implies. You have to move a little guy over on top of a Ctrl button. But after you do that, you have to move him over to a set of arrow keys to move another, smaller guy onto another Ctrl button. And then that smaller guy has to move onto yet another set of arrow keys, still controlled by the bigger guy pressing his arrow keys while being controlled by you pressing your keys. And it goes a couple layers deeper! There are only 4-5 levels, and the last level is a repeat of the first with yet another, fifth layer of guy. It's incredibly difficult. But I beat the whole thing in about three hours.

I put some more time in Satisfactory fiddling around with my mega base. I also have dropped probably 10-20hrs playing good old Team Fortress 2 in the last month or so. I went digging into the achievements and specifically tried to pick up some of them, with moderate success. I think I got about a dozen new achievements.

For my birthday I got the recently released Starflight: Tales from the Starport Lounge short stories compilation book and have been reading that, which got me in the mood to play the actual game(s). So I beat Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula over the course of the last week or two. I was going to go back and play the first game, but I think instead, for now, I'm going to try Star Control II, which is widely considered one of the best games of all time and is a spiritual successor to those two games. I never even heard of it back in the day as far as I can remember, although I've been aware of it now for maybe a decade or so, and I've had the game for a couple months on GOG.

October Horror is starting in just a few days, and I've got a solid list of games planned for it. Then Extra Life 2021, my EIGHTH year, is next, in early November, and then hopefully some good times in December.
