Not much today either. Played a little bit of a game called Shady Knight, it's a fun sorta first person melee-focused "style" game. I feel like the most natural comparison is Ultrakill but I don't think it's a very good one, it's really not the same game outside of being a first person game with a scoring system that rewards stylish play. Your tools are pretty limited and the game is a lot more about knocking enemies around and using the enviornment (and throwing swords at people). I only played like half an hour, I tried to look up where the last skull was in the first hub and found absolutely nothing and I kinda lost my groove after that. I also bought some of the DLC for CK3, Roads to Power and Fate of Iberia. There's two main packs I haven't bought, Royal Court I wanna get but the asking price of $30 is just too much, and LotD is just a nothing DLC but I just don't really wanna be locked out of anything so I'll be getting that when it goes on sale too. Royal Court is even more awkward at $30 than it was before tbh, because RtP added the royal court to the base game, though if you don't have the Royal Court DLC then all you can do is add artifacts to it (which for the court are basically decorations with a gameplay function), you can't hold court or interact with it mechanically in any other way.
