2026-w34

Weeknotes again, twice in a row, it really has been a while since that happened. Anyway!

Today I was on vacation and I have been watching YouTube videos all day long for some reason. I could have finished a videogame or a book in all this time. However, I was watching a long playthrough of Outer Wilds. Because I have finished that game and I am absolutely thrilled about it. What a videogame, please play it. Well, will talk more of this on my gaming section. In any case, here’s some other things that happened this week from August 18 to 24, 2026.

  • Think it’s fair to say I ain’t making 31 posts for Blaugust this year! I can always try some other time.

  • These weeknotes will be super lazy because I was super lazy the whole week. There were visits and I didn’t get a lot of time for myself to sitdown and write, these weeknotes so they’ll also be short.

  • Went out shopping to the mall with my sister, her boyfriend and my parents… I didn’t actually buy much this time other than a frappe.

  • Wanted to get a physical edition of The Odyssey but I couldn’t find a good translation at the mall’s library. I’ll just stick to digital I think, no big deal.

  • Still not going to the gym at all, I haven’t even gone cycling this week. I’ve been lazing around like crazy.

  • Studied more of Land of Eem’s TTRPG system so I can be a better GM for a future playthrough, didn’t manage to play again this weekend.

  • Literally read nothing the whole week. Definitely got absorbed by Outer Wilds and its lore, man…

Gaming

Completed

  • Outer Wilds - A game I started in January that took me by storm and was abandoned for months, only to return in August and get me through a whole hurricane. This game was an incredible undertaking and I am absolutely floored by every single thing that happened here. The search for knowledge provided the answers, and that finale tore me apart and built me back up. This is a one of a kind experience. You must play it. I need and will play Echoes of The Eye in the future.

Ongoing

  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - After finally being freed from the hold of Outer Wilds, I’m currently making progress on Jabu Jabu’s Belly! Haven’t finished at all but managed to beat the miniboss, which was a pain until I once again remembered Deku Nuts exist.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong - I’m gathering the materials necessary to unlock Act 3 and reach some of the extra stuff this game has to offer! Looking forward to that, but not a lot of progress otherwise.

  • Super Smash Bros - Played once again and this time we unlocked a couple of characters. Yes, believe it or not I am yet to unlock all the characters in the game, My deepest apologies.

  • Fire Emblem Awakening - I am still unable to beat Chapter 19, enough said!
