Clair Obscur keys for XBOX are selling for under $30. It's not on my list, but that's surprising.

Just finished going down a rabbit hole with regard to Age of Wonders 4 DLC. I discovered that while the DLC are listed on Steam, Paradox Interactive requested that the season passes not be listed on Steam. So you can't search for them, and they don't come up in the store pages for the game and other DLC. But, you can still buy them on Steam. It doesn't show your final price after subtracting for already owned DLC on the page for the season pass, but it shows up elsewhere and is reflected when you add the season pass to your cart. What a PITA.

On mobile, checking out Tiny Harvest

I read where you can run emulators on the XBOX. There are some games that I'd like to play that would require an emulator. It's tempting, but nah.

Playing the demo for Star Wars: Outlaws. It reminds me of the Tomb Raider reboot games. The controls are a little difficult, given my handicap, but there are a lot of accessibility features. I'm liking it so far, though it's a bit weird. I spent 20 minutes trying to get the energy lock on a door to do something without realizing that the door had already opened because there was no feedback on it, and I had to turn toward the door to see that it was open. I'll probably buy it, though I may wait for a better price. I can play it on PC for $11, but I want to play it on XBOX. I can buy it on disk for $20, but I'd prefer a digital copy. I'm really immersed in a couple of other games and their series, so there's probably no hurry.

SW: Outlaws is one I pre-ordered but didn't bother finishing. Maybe when I'm sufficiently bored.

I played a little Silent Hill 2 this morning. One of the nice things about the game is that once you've subdued whatever nasty jumped out at you, you can repeatedly stomp on its head to release any pent-up frustration. It's most liberating.

I've discovered that the Gold Edition of Star Wars: Outlaws comes with several extra stories. It's $6-7 more than the base, Deluxe Edition, but is probably money well-spent.

Installing Assassin's Creed: Valhalla on my XBOX. I had enjoyed Odyssey until I got to the naval battles. I'm interested in Assassin's Creed: Shadows, but I've already got both a lot of unplayed Assassin's Creed games and a lot of games in my shopping cart. Still, if it's at an especially good price because of Christmas, this may make the best time to buy it. I was doing okay until I discovered that I like Star Wars: Outlaws and that getting the edition with the Expansion Pass made sense given the price of DLC. My $135 worth of games in my cart ballooned to $175. Oh well, it's one month worth of discretionary income and I'll have games to play all year.

Valhalla is my favorite of the AC games. Most everyone else prefers Odyssey, but for me it was still too hard even on easy mode.

Currently, I'm thinking of replaying Hogwarts Legacy.

I just finished the opening of Valhalla, and.... now I'm on a boat. What is with all the naval stuff in Assassin's Creed?
