Game Things: Both of the Board and Video Variety

(and a little about books at the end)
I was going to do this on a more specific topic and such. Maybe put in some research into it. But I don't feel like it. So I'm just going to write whatever about the topics or whatever.

Board Game Business:
I looked into Charterstone a little (so I guess I did do a little bit of research). It looks intriguing. It looks like a solid game. Dream crew for playing it would be: Andrew, Eric, Joseph, and Ryan (supposing Ryan would be interested, since I know he isn't as into these style games as we are (but maybe I'm wrong there, idk)). Naturally, of course, that would be years into the future. After my mission. Probably even after I get married. That far off. It would be a while. The future scares me.
Granted, Andrew, Eric, Joseph, and Ryan are like my dream four people that I want to play any game with. Even 5 player Tzolk'in would be fun with them. Note: I dislike 5 player Tzolk'in more than other people by a lot. In theory it's not that bad, but I hate it, so that's saying something.
Time wise, though, we're not going to get our perfect little group for every Legacy Game we want to play. Eric and I are probably going to have to play Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 alone, which will be fantastic, of course, it would just be even more fantastic if other things came to be.
Though replaying Season 1 does have a lot of my interest, so maybe we could do that. And then later come back and replay Season 2. The time gaps for Eric and I would probably be big enough to make the games extremely fresh again. Never as fresh as our original play, naturally, but I think it might work out. Idk.

This all just makes me realize that I haven't played board games in forever and that needs to change.

In Switch Business:
Super Mario Odyssey came out. Want that. Sometime. I don't know when or how, but sometime I'm (probably) going to get that game. Not sure if the Jamieson's wanted to contribute to this purchase or not, I don't know.
Also, Skyrim is going to come out. Want that. Sometime. If I preorder it I get 12 bucks off, but for some reason I'm holding back for now. Probably because, if I really wanted to, I could steal the Jamieson's Xbox and just play their copy at our house. But it just wouldn't be the same as having on the Switch. I don't know what I'm going to do. I have money now, but I'm need to be careful in my buying decisions. (says the guy that sporadically helped buy the Switch in the first place)
Still need to finish Breath of the Wild. I'm basically at the boss, so I should just go in there at beat him. I can play other end game stuff later if I want, but for now I just want to have finished the game.
NAT types are still super annoying.
Played a little bit more Stardew Valley. Only 15 minutes or so the other day, but it was and is looking to be a really fun experience.

Updates on Books Business:
Finished The Well of Ascension. Reading The Hero of Ages. Need to finish it before Oathbringer comes out, so I can jump right into reading that.
I'm also thinking about revamping my Books Lists for several reasons that I'll explain in the post. I did just go from being hesitant about the revamping the list to certain about it in the course of that sentence, that is correct.

In conclusion: I'm excited for what the future will bring. But also terrified. Constantly terrified. And disheartened. But that's ok, I guess. Kind of ok. Idk.
