finished playing Darkest Dungeon 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Got back into playing this, last time I did not have my Steam Deck and got bored of it fairly quickly but with the Deck it's been fun. Some games just work better with a handheld that can resume at a moment's notice.

Now finished a playthrough on the easiest radiant difficulty after tons of hours poured into this. It was fun but also feel I've had enough for now and I don't think I'm going to start another run anytime soon.

Definitely the most playtime I've gotten out of any Epic Game Store freebie so far, I must be hundreds of hours playtime total by now with multiple started runs and taking this successful one pretty slow.
