Stayed up way too late exploring The Glow. This is my favorite part of this game, I think. Stresses your resources mechanically, just as it also starts to reveal big chunks of the story's central mystery.

I'm on a summer vacation, and it's got me reminiscing about my high school summer break in 1999, when I first picked up Fallout and Fallout 2 from the markdown rack at an Office Depot and played them both back to back on endless August days.

So, this Sunday I booted up the GoG version of Fallout Classic, picked one of the 3 default characters (Albert, the vault's charismatic rabblerouser) and headed out into the wasteland.

I often forget that this game is so concise. Completed the entire first half of the game in one long sitting. The mainline quest to find a water chip involves visiting 3 main locations: Shady Sands/Vault 15, The Hub, and Necropolis, with an optional sidetrip to Junktown)

The Switch version was on sale and has crossplay now, so played that for about a dozen hours during the Summer Games this year.

Game's still fun on the small screen, gang.

Completed Mass Effect 1 on Legendary difficulty

(...in a series of sessions leading up to this day, obviously, not all in one 30-hour marathon. This was a couple months before I started using this site.)

Think my PS4 clock was at about 130 hours by the end of 2020. That's lifetime, of course, but the majority of it was during 2020. This was one of my lockdown comfort games.
