What I did in January.

Installed Asuswrt-Merlin on my old router. It is a very conservative update, what I noticed: better VPN support, support for SMB2. Bonus point: can go back to the official firmware. I have looked at other firmwares, but at this point not sure if the improvements would be worth the hassle. Maybe a new router. Maybe not.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is in the “was a sequel necessary?” category, but is pretty good, so OK.

There are three last levels in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker that broke me, and soured the overall impression a bit. But otherwise a great game.

You play as Toadette for half the game. And the traditional kidnapping is presented as not really a kidnapping: Wingo wants a star, it’s just that Toad and Toadette can’t let go of their capitalistic nature and that star. Does that give Nintendo a pass? Not really, but I think it is a good example of Nintendo being less evil and more traditional to a fault. They would stick to a structure, but be willing to work on the periphery or in new areas.

Well, started this blog for no apparent reason.
