Entertainment

Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I’m rewatching it along with my wife. It’s her favourite anime of all time and I really liked it the first time a few years ago. I don’t think I fully absorbed it then, so I’m enjoying this rewatch so far.

Game: Subnautica

Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time, but, funnily enough, I never finished my save during my first playthrough because I was too scared. I “finished” the game by watching a playthrough on YouTube. I got the itch of playing it again after hearing about all the Subnautica 2 drama, and this time, I want to be brave and finish the game!

Music:

• Into the Breach OSTs
• Hades II OSTs

I’ve been listening to the OSTs from Into the Breach on repeat from front to back for a month now. I’ve never played the game, but I stumbled upon the OSTs and they immediately captivated me.

Book: The Resistance Painter by Kath Johnathan

It’s a historical fiction set in World War II Poland, written by a Canadian author. I’ve been reading it when I’m commuting and I’m enjoying it so far!
