Spent 6 days in the hospital last week.

It turns out I have severe spinal stenosis and a herniated disc. Brutal for a 38-year-old who loves exercising and golfing.

Anyway, during my love affair with Valheim, I had heard about Stellaris. I decided while in the hospital to give the game a try when I got out.

The first 3-4 hours of this game was me being utterly confused and overwhelmed, even with tutorials. And I also got bloody annihilated.

I spent about 10 hours today (time flew by) with the game and I love it. I cannot get enough of it. I'm also still ENTIRELY overwhelmed by the game. There's just so much going on.
