money can't buy happiness, but it can provide a solid distraction.
i ordered a PS5 today (after finding it was out of stock at Costco) so that i can play Jedi Survivor next weekend. i knew that we were going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade a system for it; i was hoping this was the excuse for a Steam deck but it's not supported at launch and i need to be Force-pulling fascists onto my lightsaber ASAP. the Xbox One still works fine and is our blu-ray player so i didn't really want to get another Xbox; we haven't had a PlayStation since the PS2 and it will be a chance to try the exclusives i missed in the intervening years.
this will be a big week for video games for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ironymaidens. there's a major Cult of the Lamb update on Monday, so i spent all day today reacquainting myself with the game (i beat the game with People's Temple, and Qanon is leveled up to just before the final boss. my third cult, Scientology, was only a few days old before today.) i'll be culting in the evenings until it's time to be a Jedi on Friday.

C pointed out that we have a pretty successful track record of getting deep into video games when we need them. 2009 was an epically bad year for us; Rock Band kept us sane. i got C the Xbox One so that he could play the then-new Gears of War title when he got home from helping with his dad's cancer treatment. and i originally picked up Cult of the Lamb around the time when we got covid and it hosed my birthday and our Thanksgiving plans.
