Gameplay Summary

I was close. I was very close. I almost beat my first long game for Play or Pay. However, COVID knocked me on my rear, and I fell short of the hours requirement to complete my long game. In fact, I did not pass the event at all this cycle, which was incredibly disappointing. I’m even late on this BLAEO post because everything went haywire from not feeling well, followed by a Fourth of July vacation. Despite this, I had a lot of fun during the first half of the month while I was feeling well. I made some great progress on multiple games, and I expect to revisit the titles I played at a later date.

In Progress Completion: SUPERHOT

Achievement hunting on this title was fun. This was the title I was playing for PoP as a long pick since I was going for as many achievements as possible, but I definitely miscategorized it. By the time I got COVID, it was becoming a bit of a chore to try getting enough hours, and after I got COVID, I couldn’t find the motivation to continue trudging through it. I will revisit this later, but for now, the last few achievements need to sit on the shelf.

In Progress Completion: Tabletop Simulator

I haven’t earned any new achievements yet, but I played TTS with my friend for a couple hours. We played cards and Parcheesi. Not much of an update, but I guess you can consider it progress toward the many hours achievements.

In Progress: The Jackbox Party Pack 2

As discussed in my prior update, we played this for one of our work events. This session, we played Quiplash XL with a larger group, and it was a lot of fun. Two achievements were earned, which was an added bonus. I’ll revisit some of the other games at a later date.
