A couple weeks ago I broke my computer chair. I have another one that's sturdier, but I wasn't using it, because the cushion was uncomfortable. I ordered another cushion to put on top of it and it's serviceable. But now the wheels have bent and it doesn't roll very well. Ordered new ones with a 2000 lbs weight capacity, but they haven't arrived yet.

I really need my computer chair to be decent, because I work from home on the computer all day.

On top of that, the mattress on my bed has a developed a dip in it.

If this isn't the wake up call I need, then I dunno what will do it.

Been playing through Baldur's Gate 3 again lately and I'm really enjoying its more freeform nature. It's not as precise as a grid-based game, but something about it makes it feel more real to me.

Been playing Aliens: Dark Descent lately and, while it's not a full-blown CRPG, it plays like a simplified Real-Time-with-Pause CRPG.

You control your squad as a whole, no individual unit movement. They each have abilities you can activate, but most of the time they will be auto-attacking while you focus on the bigger tactical decisions.

This plays out a lot like older CRPGs like the Infinity Engine games. As opposed to more modern games where units all have a ton of active abilities that you have to be on top of. Though I would like a few more abilities for the units.

I can't help but think a full CRPG in this style of RTwP would be really fun.
