What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Monster Sanctuary (XBox Series S)

October 27th, 2023

I'm doing a quick post during my last work break today, as I look forward to a weekend filled with homemade potato dishes. I have a few ideas so far, and it should all be pretty easy stuff. The potatoes will be instrumental in getting me through the first "wintery mix" of the season.

Last night, I just played Monster Sanctuary some more, and started to play with how the skill trees can differentiate monsters even from others of their species. I started racking up some five star battles as I explored, too, which made me feel powerful.

Today, I'm still zoned out, but for a much dumber reason than normal. I had a blood test early this morning, which was fine, but I couldn't sleep because my brain decided it was time to pick apart the logic of the evil plot at the part of Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. At 3am, I was actively angry that Hollywood would take us for such fools that we wouldn't question how time zones played into the televised part of the evil. Now that I'm awake, I'm more accepting of the fact that black sheep horror sequels that heavily feature druid magic don't have to adhere to real world logic, but I still thought about it a lot today.

Anyway, last night I limited myself to 20 minutes of Monster Sanctuary because I thought I was gonna go to bed early and get a good night's sleep. It's still pleasant, and I have a little cat friend, so I'm going to keep going.

I'm still bereft of pep, but I tried Monster Sanctuary on Game Pass last night and was reasonably interested in the start of it. Turn-based battling and platforming are an interesting combo, so I'll probably play it again.
