And I picked up Grim Dawn for three bucks. I have the base game for Ticket to Ride on PC and console, but that's an old port. The XBOX deluxe bundle is about $30 for the new version, but I can get the same content on PC for $20, so that's what I did. Ticket to Ride is a favorite of mine, and with the addition of a dozen or so new maps, I'm looking forward to it. There's a Horizon Zero Dawn upgrade to the Remastered version for $10, but I don't care enough for the graphics in the remastered version, and it's not on sale, so I'll wait until I've played more of the game. The main bonus for me would be improved NPC character animations, which is hardly a $10 ask.
Oh, I also bought Sword and Fairy: Together Forever. I've been waiting for a good deal on it for some time. It's a Wuxia-based RPG with a lot of Chinese lore.
Just in case you're interested, the site Board Game Arena (BGA) has Ticket To Ride. It doesn't have a lot of games you might recognise (like Monopoly, Scrabble etc) but it does have that, and Catan, another game I like... I've being playing both with my family. It has a really good interface for games, text chat, and if you're a premium member also voice chat and the ability to invite people to play with you... but you don't need to be a premium member to enjoy the site... there's no adverts as far as I can tell as a non-premium member, so it really is free to play, you're just limited to playing with randoms or premium players who have invited you (as in my case... my sister is the premium member who sets up all our games, but the rest of us are all non-premium members). The site boasts that whatever you want to play, there will always be people to play with, so if you like playing with real people rather than bots or AIs, then I'd highly recommend this site

The Sila fire skill set kills everything so much faster, but the sword thing is kind of annoying.

There's still so much to explore and do in Forspoken. But I like that.

It's annoying as all F when I'm spending an eternity trying to figure out how to reach a certain spot

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Cod bo6 ranked for the first time.
I got as high as platinum.
The only people I know who are higher than me is one PC player I know.
I've been refusing to become a PC gamer for a long time despite everyone knowing all the games I play can be played with a higher skill level on PC.
I'm very tempted to try it just to see how much better I'd be.
On both dead by daylight and Call of Duty.
A few players on dead by daylight have said I'm surprisingly good (for a PlayStation user)
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Battlenet is trying to take over my desktop because I installed Diablo through XBOX for PC. I can't even minimize it if I'm not logged in. It just reappears on top demanding that I either login or else.
