Keep wanting to play New Vegas but don't have time to spend on it right now. Considering starting a new playthrough in 4 but don't have time for that either.

Did get a game called The Flame in the Flood and played that a little, and enjoyed the mechanic. You survive the end of civilization and have to keep moving down river in your raft while not dying of hunger, dehydration, cold, wild animals, or wrecking the crop out of your raft in the rapids.

I keep thinking I'd like to go back to New Vegas again (due to the new backwards-compatibility of the XBox One), but I'm not done with 4 yet. In fact, just started over with a new character, after downloading a bunch of add-ons. My main companion is now a robot named Ada.

The Flame In The Flood sounds interesting! What a clever idea... I might try that out...

I also have played a bit of Sea of Thieves, but I don't really get it yet. Just sail around until I happen to hit a rock and hole the hull, or someone finds me and shoots me. But the sailing part is fun... I like checking the wind direction, setting the sail length and angle... and trying to park next to islands, or do fancy shit like swooshing in a circle around an island. It's fun. But there are Other People playing, and they are generally assholes.

We got in the store on the xbox, whatever you call that.

Sailing around does sound fun but I do not play online with Other People, especially ones who are generally assholes.

Turns out there is no solo-play option with Sea of Thieves.

I just found out that I need to have an XBox Live account to even play it... and my trial period just ended. So that's $50 I'm not gonna be able to play again.
