Had a busy week. The two of us played two scenarios of Gloomhaven JotL. I changed from my initial tank character to Voidwarden, who's got a buff/debuff and action granting/manipulation mechanic. She's a lot more fun for me and I feel like she works a little better with my partner's ranged character also. The last scenario was so close, we were 1 and 0 turns away from exhaustion when we won. Funnily enough we both got squeezed into a corner and surrounded by the boss's summons so the boss couldn't get to us.

Was really hoping to be able to play more of Aeon's End but alas, the weekend went by really fast. Going to get an expansion for it next time I go to the shop.

We also tried out Bread & Fred, a video game of two penguins connected by a rope climbing a mountain. I was hoping it would be hard and rewarding like Celeste, but it was mostly fun and frustrating due to us constantly jumping at the wrong time and falling off.... Would definitely recommend assist mode checkpoints if anyone else wants to try. It was a bit weird that they only supported the same input type for both, would have liked to use controller and let my SO use keyboard.
