Camping trip!

First one for the year, luckily this is only a short one. Hopefully back before I know it. Going to have several this year.

OGame

 And I'm done, again.

Got a fair way into the game, not sure how long I was playing this time around (several years at least) but it's gotten to the point where it's more like work than relaxing. It's been a long time since it was actually fun, so I'm not sure why I kept playing.

I'm now in the top 500 world wide, but that's mostly from just sitting tight and building defences. I'm now at the level where the high-end players will send fleets of thousands of ships against my planets or send hundred of missiles from multiple planets against my single planet. I'm not dedicated enough to get much higher, and there's no win condition - it's a "perpetual war" type game, with a pay to win component. I'm definitely not giving them my credit card details!

It was an interesting ride, I did have some fun back in the day but I think I've gotten to the point where I'll enact the plan I had earlier - just log in now and then to keep my account active, but not actively play or build defences. I'm sure there are better things I can do with my time.

MRI

I've been having a few ongoing issues lately and the Dr had me do some xrays a few weeks ago. As nothing was found on that, I was sent in for an MRI.

This was my first experience with one. I know many people don't like them - but I actually found it relaxing! I think I may have nodded off as well.

I did find the noises a bit, uh, nostalgic? To me, the machinery sounded like 90's underground techno rave music. :D
