Welcome to another installment of God Rolls where I have gotten a little more sleep these days with Noah figuring out he does NOT always need to yell at 4 AM (just 6-10 PM!). I have also taken the plunge and begun my journey with Elden Ring. I’ve found not being able to pause not being a huge deal, but rather the sheer size of this thing and limited play time will mean I am going to be playing this…the rest of the year? Who knows.
What I’m Playing: I have put Wonderlands down for good I think at this point after this week’s terrible DLC, so it’s all Elden Ring all the time until Destiny’s new season in a month.
What I’m Watching: Very behind on everything right now. It took four days to get my wife through Batman on HBO Max because of parenting interruptions. When I get a second, I’m going to check out the new season of Russian Doll.
Alright, onto the recap:

Evie guard dog’s new tricks are: running to the baby when he cries or if she’s already near him when he’s crying, running to get mom or dad. She’s a good big sis.
