This month’s focus point has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Nerd Girl life, but I’m going to put it here anyway. When things get busy (or we get too deep into whatever), our eating habits suffer a lot. Will more time cooking and meal planning translate into less time for gaming, reading, watching and blogging? We shall see.
Play to Satisfaction
For me, saying “Play to Satisfaction” gives me explicit permission to drop a game that’s not working for me, but also to grind away for nerd points if I’m really loving something. I’m trying to make it a policy for myself that I will always play to satisfaction – no more, no less.
I still have a few outstanding game-related stuff I’d like to finish up over the next few weeks, but there’s plenty of stuff I haven’t already talked about I’d like to add onto my plate this month.
Since I’m fairly certain I’m keeping XBox Game Pass for PC, at least as long as it stays at the beta price, I am going to let myself dive into The Outer Worlds, which means that might be the only thing I play this month. However, I would like to check out a few games while I have Origin Access Basic during November (Unravel, Fe, Vambrace: Cold Soul, & They are Billions look the most promising to me at the moment). I tacked on Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, one of the November Humble Monthly early unlocks, but more likely than not, I won’t actually get to it because…
Reactivate my World of Warcraft Account
I have tokens burning a hole in my bank alt’s bags, and renewing my sub this month means I can earn two mounts on a single token – I didn’t go for the bee last month, and who am I to turn down a Deathwing mount?
WATCHING
I am sure we’re going to finish up The Boys before too long, and I figured I’d switch it up this month, and put Westworld, Undone, and the seasons of American Horror Story we haven’t seen yet on deck.
We’re also planning an evening in which we watch Unbreakable, Split, and Glass. I think it’ll be interesting to see them all back to back (and only Unbreakable will be a rewatch).
READING
I need to get through four books this month to stay on track (which is absolutely doable), but I never seem to know what I’m going to want to read before I read it. Still, in the interest of full disclosure, I’m currently partway through both The Boys, Omnibus 1 and The Haunting of Saxton Mansion. I’ll add in Kind Nepethe and Locke & Key Volume One to round out the month.

Nerd Girl Thoughts 
The ‘Play to Satisfaction’ concept you’ve expressed really resonates with me, Krikket. I love that a lot. Once done with this challenge, that’s something I’d want to aspire to also. Thanks for sharing the thinking behind it. 😀
