The first four were the casual games I'm working on, then the new Game Pass quest games as they downloaded, and finally some games new to Game Pass I wanted to try. 

Thanks to the Xbox app I can remember what I played several days before. 

On a lark, I chose a horse to win the Kentucky Derby today. I chose the one with the most humorous name to me, Soup and Sandwich. This horse was 26-1 but it challenged first place for the first half of the race. Then something happened and it quickly sank all the way to last place. That's $100 imaginary dollars down the drain. Gaming made up for it but, for real, I wasn't upset. It was really a very entertaining joke to me. "Go Soup and Sandwich. . . nope, dead last. Haha!".

Microsoft Rewards wanted three achievements from me so I dove into my casual stuff to get them. I only got two achievements because I'm somewhat far along in the games I played today which means achievements take longer to get. As I get to the last few achievements in a casual game, I just play it for a short time to make some progress and move along. Today, I got really into Lego Batman and never did get to my Game Pass stuff or my main game, Torchlight III. Sometime later this weekend I'll get to them I suppose. So here's a breakdown. 

Basically, it's Darkest Dungeon on PS4 and Torchlight III on Xbox One, but I also played a single 9 inning game of MLB The Show 21 and got my Farm Together lands down to 14. I also downloaded Path of Exile, a free-to-play action RPG to play sometime in the future. You can stop here or read on. You choose your own reading adventure. 

Actually, not so much rage but annoyance deleting. Maybe the first vax I had today had something to do with it. In any case, I ripped through a bunch of different games and deleted most of them off my hard drive after only a few minutes of game time. Might as well list them. I like lists. 

I am surprisingly still playing Dark Void, a ten-year-old Xbox 360 game. I warmed up with some Gnome's Garden. 

I had to work today but at the right time, so I was able to visit my friend's place and my Xbox in the late afternoon. I knocked off a Xbox rewards quest and a Game Pass rewards quest before diving back into my attempted completionist run of Dark Void. 

Xbox weekly rewards, Game Pass rewards, Games with Gold games, they make up my routine right now. I managed to finish all the weekly rewards and most of the Game Pass ones. I already have over 10k points but it's fun to keep going with it. I'm getting points on my phone now during the week as well, so they add up quickly. Here are the details. 

I couldn't resist a quick chat on my comics reading and console-setup. Here goes.
