Current goal: Press play
I’m planning on playing 2018 action-adventure western Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time (I know!) this weekend (I know!). I’ve been meaning to play developer Rockstar Games’ modern masterpiece for about as long as it’s been out, but I got delayed by putting 200 hours into 2016 release Dark Souls III. Oops!
I escaped my FromSoftware hole in the last year, sometime between starting Elden Ring and rediscovering my free will by choosing not to finish Elden Ring. I will eventually—I’m just saving it for the next period of my life when I feel the need to look at a screen for 800 hours. I’m sure my relationship to a fictionalized, macabre, ineffably solitary 19th century Wild West will be a lot more normal. Right? — Ashley Bardhan
