Progress

Did some more garden work.

Tried out the pizza stone for the first time. It was good! I need a little more training in putting the pizzas on there, but the taste was great.

Games

• Factorio
• Pentiment
• Redout 2: I've always liked racing games and I'm also quite good at them. However, I've never enjoyed those with floaty controls. Not F-Zero, not Hi-Octane, not Wipeout -- and also not Redout 2.
• Walkabout Minigolf
• Broken Edge: a VR swordfighting game. It's ok, but each match is somewhat the same. Also, it doesn't calibrate me to the center of my room, so all the opponents are very far away. 6/10
