I felt the need to replay the originals after playing the reboot, mostly to get the bad taste of the reboot out of my mouth, but also because I was feeling stressed and the original three games always make me happy. As for the  R&C Future games, I only ever completed Quest For Booty. I realized as I was about two levels into Tools of Destruction that I'd never finished it, which means I know I never started A Crack In Time, and I just bought Into the Nexus last month. So plenty of R&C goodness to keep me happy (or frustrated) for a while.

Good to know, if I ever actually get around to playing the first three. I have to say that the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy has spoiled me for this type of game.

I'm only half way through the first season of Goliath, so I should be set for a while.

It's been an awesome year here for birding. And I still have a bird book for you that I keep meaning to put in the mail.

I highly recommend Yonder. Especially now, when things are so unsettled, it's a very relaxing game. Think Minecraft crossed with Animal Crossing crossed with Harvest Moon. There are also a couple of really amusing easter eggs to find.

The Expanse... I watched the whole first season in a day because I was so engrossed in the story and characters. I just finished Season 4 a couple of days ago and am looking forward to a season five, if it ever arrives. A word of warning, though - all episodes, including season finales, end on a cliffhanger. I went to bed far too late several nights because I had to watch just one more chapter.

The developers of Journey tried putting arms on the Wanderer, but people kept using them to throw/push others off cliffs. It's actually a very deep game, and beautiful to boot. And the only game soundtrack I've ever purchased. If you haven't played it, you really ought to. It's pretty short, if you just play through and don't explore every nook and cranny it should only take about two to three hours.

I think I might have gotten about half-way through this game many moons ago, and then something new and shiny came out and my gamer ADD kicked in and I wandered off, never to return. Hmm, this may be the impetus I need to clean out the scary corner and tun it into a retro gaming nook...

I have to admit that, like Cary, the only Crash game I've ever really put any time into is Crash Team Racing. It was the first game I bought when we got Jason's little brother's hand-me-down PS1, because I'd played it at my brother's and had such a fun time with it. I have the remasters for the PS4, but I haven't gotten very far into the first one. Like Cary, I have issues with one hit and die games.

Yeah, I know.

See my reply to Andrew. We may not be open much longer. I'm lucky, I have trails behind my house and the dog, who needs exercise.

You and my both my sisters, Andrew. My sisters both work in hospitals. Yeah, I do worry for them.

I'm OK for TP at the moment. Hopefully, when I need to buy more, it will be there. If not, my mom, who always buys in bulk so she doesn't have to go shopping as often, will help me out. It's bread and flour I can't find. I miss being able to make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

Our governor is trying to balance keeping people safe with keeping them sane and employed. All non-essential businesses are closed, or curbside pick-up only. LL Bean installed locks on their doors for the first time in the history of the store since it went 24 hours, 365 days a year. It's surreal for us Mainers. They closed ten of the southern Maine parks - all the beaches, and other parks that aren't large enough for people to spread out, including Two Lights, where I took you to see the waves when you visited. There are four parks currently open in Maine's largest population area, and we were all busy yesterday. We were within 20 parking spaces of filling yesterday during peak hours. I felt the need to disinfect the outhouse every two to three hours that I was there. If that continues to happen, they'll probably shut us down, too.
