Is it the end of March already? Yeah, another month of not posting too much. Although I wrote a fair amount in last month's update, I've had a tough time coming up with things to write about lately but I'll keep going through 2021. This month I've mostly been taking care of basic life things and contemplating my future rather than having fun so not much game playing. I also returned my employer's Xbox One to the office (I had that on loan since it launched) and I let my PlayStation Plus subscription expire. I'll probably subscribe again eventually but I only played a game with my nephew one time last year and didn't play online with anyone else.
In video game news Microsoft finalized its purchase of ZeniMax which includes Bethesda and it is renaming Xbox Live to Xbox Network. Games keep getting delayed like last year so it's probably best to treat most dates as placeholders, and really that's not a bad idea most years. Gotham Knights is one that was pushed to 2022 and while I am a big Batman fan, that one hasn't grabbed my interest yet. Looking ahead I'd say this year doesn't look too appealing to myself. Based on the current schedule for 2021, the games that I'll likely play would be LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Life Is Strange: True Colors. I feel like I must be overlooking something but it's fine if I'm not because I've got some big games from last year I still want to play. I'm sure I'll try a handful of other games this year but not enough to complete them. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is tempting, however, I've played through them all at least two times already, though I've not played the DLC before.
Supposedly Toys "R" Us (TRU) stores are going to return to the U.S. in some capacity. There is a TRU website that forwards to Amazon.com and the Canada stores never closed, and there have always been stores in other countries too, so the brand itself has never disappeared. Now there are new owners that want to re-open some stores here before the end of the year. That's about all I've got for this update. I've still not done anything with the blog's Instagram account despite getting my first smartphone in November. Sorry, I should just stop writing and go do that now but I won't... maybe tomorrow. I don't know, I still need to learn more about how to use the phone beyond making calls.
