Game of the week NORCO by Geography of Robots
"NORCO is a Southern Gothic point & click narrative adventure that immerses the player in the sinking suburbs and verdant industrial swamps of a distorted South Louisiana."
All I've heard is this is about a climate dystopic setting near an oil refinery. And it's a must-play for the year. Let's try it out!

My one and only time doing well on the first try while playing a puzzle game live. You're welcome, Itsyee.
Book I'm reading this week Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
"Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish."
I FINALLY DID IT. FIFTH TIME'S THE CHARM. I READ IT.
And it was SO underwhelming. Oh man. There was too much hype for this book and I did not enjoy this very much. C'est la vie.
So far, I've read 33 of my 52 books for the year.
