Game of the week Endling
"As the last mother fox on Earth, your cubs need all your care to survive in a merciless world that slowly destroys itself. You have to help them, teach them and save them. And you should never forget that extinction is forever."
This game had a rough launch since it went out the same time as Stray. Oof. But let's check it out - it's been on my wishlist for ages. And probably accidentally murder more animals on my stream :(

Book I'm reading this week The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
"Told in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen.
The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature."
I just finished it and I still don't know how I feel about it.
So far, I've read 445of my 52 books for the year.
