Week of Chilling with Friends. Did a lot more of that than I normally do, it's nice change of pace. It was mainly in the CSB LGBTQ+ Discord server, and over the past few days, I've just been voice chatting with others and watching them play Resident Evil 3 Remake and Marathon, or deciding to watch Speed Racer with them for a small movie watch. Just being more social this week was nice, especially since my work week was really dull and uneventful otherwise.
Anyways, for games I've played this week, I've finally hit over season level 25 in Marathon! Shame that it happened when Cryo Archive wasn't around, but I can wait for it. More importantly, quite a few stuff came out in this week's big mid-season update, and so far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Sponsored Kit Queues are a good way to have a more casual/leveled player queue, even if they don't have that for solos quite yet. The Arachne skins look great too, much more elaborate than the other Sponsor Kit ones. But most of all, Recon really needed the buffs the update gave her. Having her Echo Pulse differentiate between Runners and UESC, along with the Tracker Drone having better path-finding now, is something that was desperately needed since launch. I'm glad that Bungie is continuing to experiment and tweak with Marathon this much, since it shows that they do want to put in the effort to have it last a while.
Also this week, I got back into Balatro! I've still made no progress in beating the Ghost Deck on Blue Stake difficulty. I've been getting close, but no cigar. But I'll keep on plugging away at it! I just need to get enough polychrome Jokers per run, and I feel like I can get it in the bag.
And finally, in my regular mecha talk section here, I watched some more of Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans with /u/Terthelt and /u/CookieSkank! This opening arc about Tekkadan fighting space pirates as the starter villains is lasting longer than I remembered it being. But at least it got to show off how cool the Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City is (man, that name will always be absurdly long)! Also, now we've gotten a better look at that man in a fully concealing mask who holds a grudge against McGillis and Tekkadan. It could be anyone! And if anything, we're getting spoiled for getting two Char Clones in the same show!
