More dog care, work and lots of games

The second week of the year was filled with many disasters and fun moments, nothing to worry about.

🩺 My dog needed to get his wound cleaned up daily and at first I couldn’t do it, so I had to take him to the vet, except that I was home alone the whole week so I asked family friends to help me out and bring him to the vet a couple times.
🐕 At the same time, a coworker needed to take care of his dogs since he was going on vacation with family and asked me to help. So every day I had to ask for permission to leave and return in the middle of the work shift, or to leave early to go with my own dog and give him his meds and treatment. Lots of dog problems.
🏠 As I just said, I was home alone! It was a pretty fun week with movies, videogames and a dog that got to roam around inside the house, we often only let them be outside, but since my parents weren’t there and I know my dog actually behaves fine inside, I left him be with me.
🖥️ Work has been quite rough! My workmate was on vacation and I had to carry his duties myself. There were a couple things that I just left hanging there to be honest, but I am very happy with myself overall.

Gaming

This was a crazy week when it comes to videogames, what can I say?

✨🚀 Outer Wilds - This is an incredible journey that Jeremy really wanted me to play, given this game was his GOTY back in 2024. I decided to give it a go all of a sudden and I have been completely trapped by its story. This is a once in a lifetime adventure, and I am absolutely loving it.
✨🌍 Terranigma - Another masterpiece that I started many many years ago, I decided to start a new journey and see how I would handle it! The story and the graphics and gameplay of this holds up incredibly well even today. Although the map is a bit hit or miss.
✨👾 Risk of Rain Returns - This is my first purchase of the year. I often buy games to play with friends, and this one got on sale at the perfect time. This 2D roguelike shooter survival game is quite awesome, and playing it with friends was great. However, the camera was a little messy and if someone fell down it was almost impossible to do anything about it, it may be better as a solo experience, or online.
🧛 Vampire Survivors - Played quite a bit more with friends as well, unlocked a new character too!

⚔️ Kingdom - Up to chapter 862. As I keep saying, this manga is fantastic, this latest arc is amazingly strong and I am super hyped about how all the events will begin to unfold. The odds this time are at an all time high, some key figures are out of the battlefield and the up and coming heroes will have to deal with most of the blow. I am so looking forward to what’s next.
⚽ Blue Lock - I’m just going chapter by chapter now, this week was the start of the match against France, and it looks like a rather difficult match up from early on! Looking forward to see how Blue Lock Japan deals with the next generation of the current world champions!
🏫 Spy x Family - Some fun chapters with Anya Forger as she uncovers a plot against the teacher of his class! It was very fun to see how things got solved and the plot moved a bit!

The Negotiator - I always enjoy watching a movie completely blind featuring like Samuel L. Jackson. This movie was pretty fun, about a policeman who is an expert in hostage situations, framed for murder, and he decides to take hostages himself until he can prove his innocence! This was very tense, and even though I guessed who the criminal really was, the intrigue about how they would find out was still very fun.

There’s only videos this week, I know it’s late and maybe you expected more, but I have failed you all…

Overanalyzing The First 13 Minutes Of Silksong - This was a super fun, spoiler-free showcase of how good Silksong is simply by explaining what goes on in the first section of the game!
The Death of Start and Select - Just a fun video that talks about these two buttons that have been replaced at this point in time by pretty much every controller. Honestly Plus (+) and Minus (-) are much more better, in my opinion.
The World Design of Hollow Knight: Silksong - A fantastic video from the Boss Keys seris by GMTK exploring the amazing details behind’s Silksong exploration and progression throughout the mysterious region of Pharloom.
We NEED to Discuss Switch 2 - A review of the Switch 2 six months after its release. Honestly I’m kind of happy that I’ve waited, I have been playing many great games and I truly feel no need to get it for the most part at this point!
