I make lists. It's a thing. Here's a few I made for this month, books to read, music to listen to, films to watch, games to play, For June, I'm thinking about the years 1900 to 1949. Two world wars, the roaring 20s, big band era, and many other things come to mind. Here's what I'm starting with. 

I'm playing with Melvil Dewey's ideas about simplified and phonetically relevant spelling for Borderlands 3 and Deadspace, the two games I played today. 

I didn't mention I played some Fallout 76 last weekend. I had the same problem I had with Fallout 4, I couldn't find the pip-boy menu to do simple stuff like change gear or eat. I'm some kind of stupid, I guess, or the particular U.I. in these games baffles my simple mind. I must've tried every button combination to find out how to eat something when it was suggested, and I still couldn't find the pip-boy menu like I was shown earlier in the brief tutorial as you leave the Vault. WTF.

Still obsessed, and so is my friend, with Borderlands 3 and the last few achievements, but I got in a half-hour or so of Walking Dead: A New Frontier for a Game Pass quest. 

My friend bought some modded weapons for us both to use in Borderlands 3 and now we are virtual gods running around with impunity on True Vault Hunter, Mayhem 11 difficulty. It's kind of fun, actually, but really makes gear gathering pretty much meaningless. We still had to work to get some of the new achievements, however. 

Got back into the Season 2 DLC. I finished the story missions solo and then Mark and I did the Arms Race mission and then some tasks on the daily challenge list that's new to B3.

Borderlands 3 annoyed me to no end. Then hen I started my casual run of games and then played one for a Game Pass quest, the last of the week. 

I call my chasing rewards points "game chores". I usually start with them. Today I had three achievements to get for weekly/daily rewards points and two weekly Game Pass quest games to play. I got to one of them. 

The weekend's gaming went quite well. On Xbox One I completed a monthly and all the weekly rewards, knocked off all my Game Pass quests, and tried a few new games. 

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.
