This page is all about what I have done. As things roll off the [now page](/now), they'll show up here. It was last updated on December 21, 2022.

## What I finished reading
|
|
|
|
- The first four stories (two novels and two shorts) of [Dan Moren's](https://dmoren.com/) [Galactic Cold War](https://dmoren.com/writing/galactic-cold-war/) series. These are spy thrillers set across multiple star systems colonized by humans. Both aspects are very well done and each story has been better than the last.
|
|
- All of Martha Wells' [Murderbot Diaries](https://www.marthawells.com/murderbot.htm). These are all told in the first person by a sentient security robot who has hacked himself to be free of harsh programmed restrictions and has to live in human society. I can't stress enough how much I loved these, perhaps aided by how my own coming to terms with being an undiagnosed autistic adult makes me [relate to the main character](https://www.tor.com/2022/06/21/murderbot-an-autistic-coded-robot-done-right/).

## What I finished playing
|
|
|
|
- [The Outer Worlds][outer worlds] from Obsidian. Decididly anti-corporate darkly humorous science fiction from some of the same people who created the [Fallout games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(series)). Short gameplay, but I loved every minute of it.
|
|
- [The Dragon Age series](https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki) from BioWare. I played them all as they originally came out, but recently did a replay straight through. In terms of world building and story telling, this is my favorite game series (*perhaps* tied with the Elder Scroll and Fallout games)
|
|
- [Elder Scrolls Online](https://www.elderscrollsonline.com). New content comes out all the time so I'll be back, but for now I'm caught up. I did find a good guild to socialize with, but I've played everything I could by myself. Surprisingly, that was most of the content and 100% of the story.

## What I finished watching
|
|
|
|
- All the espisodes of [Taskmaster][taskmaster] [on YouTube][taskmaster youtube] (and some that fell off the back of a truck). Nothing I've watched recently has lifted my spirits and made me giggle like this show.
