What are you playing this weekend?

As a follow up, got the consoles to work to start the project. Both consoles are prohibited on company wifi( Gonna guess someone abused it). Also, our building acts like a Faraday cage thus no cell service at all, so no mobile hot spot either. Found out that the Xbox One is damn near useless without an internet connect. Nearly nothing worked. Surprisingly, everything on the PS4 worked, albeit slowly due to last gen tech, but it did work. Blu-ray player booted just fine, downloaded games were fine, disk games were fine and non-internet apps were fine.

That was the reason I only owned like 8 games for it back in 2015 and had to get rid of it because it was completely useless. Imagine trying to update games and putting up with 3gb console updates on a 20GB per month satellite internet connection.

I don’t think I’ve ever gamed since the early 2000’s on console without an internet connection.

I think my Ps3 was the first console I religiously had hooked up to the internet. I but I didn't realize HOW dependent these newer consoles are for internet to do basic functions.
 
I only not work for 3 days ( during easter) this entire 2024 so far.
But I am ripping the reward of my hard work. The zero draft, more like first draft of my teen fantasy novel is almost done.
180+ page, 30k+ words count, at 5.5 x8.5” book size.

I spent about $175 on book formatting software Atticus, yesterday to put all my 21 chapters and artwork( not yet done unfortunately) together. Then I make I to pdf and physically copied for gineia pigs ( friends and famaily) to test read.

So I am giving myself a deserving one week break to play games.
Maybe I can finally finish balders gate 3.
I am thinking of getting kena something something spirit game as well.
