I've been playing a lot of Valheim! I installed a mod for mass-planting stuff in neat rows and it's brilliant, makes farming so so much more pleasant. I also tackled a fuling camp (and died a bunch of times), tackled a frost cave (and died a bunch of times), and managed to locate Moder's summoning spot in the world I dedicated to killing bosses. Now I gotta prep to slay it so I can actually use all the black metal I got from the Plains...

I did manage to set up an experimental one-person GoToSocial server! Still dunno if I wanna use it under its current domain tho and I'm also mildly worried about storage on my tiny VPS, so I ended up holding off from actually actively using it for now. It's just kinda hanging out there.
