Finished Talos Principle 2. Had a pretty good time overall, puzzles continued to be solid and never got ridiculous. The writing did not, in fact, ever do the classic "ah but communism bad" thing I was expecting, instead choosing to never once say the words "communism", "socialism", or "capitalism". Including a very tortured paraphrasing of the famous Mark Fisher quote: "we find it easier to imagine the decline of civilization than to imagine a civilization worth living in". Will probably pick up the DLC and the first game when they go on a deep discount. I must note that it has truly horrendous performance.

Started Battletech, and I really just have to turn off all the "cinematic" and "chase cam" options because hoowee they slow the game down by an unbearable amount. Very early in, just did the first main story mission after the open world section started, and so far it seems that there's not actually much tactics. At the conclusion of said story mission, my lance just sat in front of the enemy shooting it for 3 turns while he shot back and happened to randomly headshot my commander, so now he's out for 2 weeks. Also the UI for the mech customization is missing the incredibly necessary tonnage of every piece of equipment. You either have to mouse over an equipment for like 2 seconds, or just slot it and hope, very poor design.

Played a little more Warframe but might just about be finished with it for now.
