Today is the 1st of August 2025.
Monthly Updates are posts at the beginning of every month, to go over the events of the previous month, and to prepare for the upcoming month.
Previous Month Recap
In the month of July, I played a whole lot more of Death Stranding 2 and finally got into the groove of the game. Believe it or not, but I played a big chunk of this game offline. I checked a few of the trophies which require some online stuff, so I reluctantly updated the game and logged online, which is quite a different experience.
A lot of the game is preparation and trekking; and also watching out for hazards and efficiency-maxing. But the process is meditative and soothing. Even the enemies don't really cause that much stress (Normal difficulty), and are pretty easy.
In mid-July, Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream released and so I stopped progress on DS2 and began on that game. I'm about more than halfway through it, and hopefully will have this done and out early August, before the new Mafia game releases. I really like this game -- it's quite simple but very fun sneaking around, and figuring out methods to get around guards.
