  I am not playing a ton of games really so maybe that is also something I could consider.

  I too don’t play games that often, not for want of trying.

  However, it allows me to be deliberate with my gaming sessions as well as when I am writing about it.

  What software are you using for this and could you share something you’ve written? Only if not too personal of course, I understand you might not want to share, that is OK.

  I use Org-Mode in Emacs, but I previously used Obsidian. You may definitely find the latter more palatable, as it did to me initially.

  As for what I write, my write-ups starts out with links to the game’s Steam/PlayStation store and Wikipedia entry (resolved on a best effort basis), and to my journal entry to Steam Deck or PS5 (nothing more than to facilitate reverse lookup). Followed by my own brief description of the game, story, and any special gameplay mechanics worth highlighting. The rest are my thoughts on what worked and what did not for me.

  There are some older, obscure games like Camy series, Monster Hunter (not the famous series), Heart of Darkness, and many more. which do not have any links but my write-ups are longer. Perhaps I play them more and have more to write about because not much is available online.

  I use my digital journal to document my thoughts on games that I have played or are next in the pipeline. The notes grow organically as my thoughts form with each gameplay.

  Hollow Knight.

  I started playing it at the start of this week, and have been completely hooked into it.

  What I find pleasantly surprising is that I gave the game a few chances over the years, but it just didn’t click. Perhaps as I was playing on a PS, and I find it very odd to play platformers and similar games on it.

  I kid you not! My steam deck got delivered today, after I was on the fence about it for a few months. :’-)

  FOMO aside, really excited about setting it up and taking it for a spin! :-)
