While I've been concentrating most of my leisure time on televised dramas, reading, and painting and playing 40K, I have found a limited amount of time for video gaming, as well.
I wanted to try out Juno's Darkest Hour, mainly because I have a daughter named Juno, and it looked kid-friendly enough that she might like it. In the end, she did sit and play it for a while, but it was a little too difficult to enjoy, even for me. It is basically an action platformer like you would see in the old days on the GameBoy, and I single that platform out for its monochrome looks and zoomed-in, large character sprite aesthetics and the unforgiving game design of that era.
Dicey Dungeons is a game I was looking forward to trying out, but I'm really certain its lived up to what I thought it could be. Effectively, it's Slay the Spire but with dice mechanics. It's a good concept and structure, for sure. I probably just need to play more to really define it and set it apart from that game in my mind.
I played a little more of Inquisitor - Martyr, and yeah, it's fine. I'll come back to it later.
I also got deeper than ever into Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, and now that I've got a handle on many of the Imperial Guard and Space Marines units from playing tabletop 40K, I'm getting more out of playing it. I'm to the point now where I have Titans to devestate the Orks with. It's fun, for a very simplistic game with next to no animation and very little in the way of production values whatsoever.
I picked up Kingdom Come: Deliverance for free the other day courtesy of the Epic store. Along with a couple of board game adaptations. I want to check those out soon.

Holiday 2019 Gaming
I flitted back and forth between a bunch of games over the recent few weeks. Here's some accounting for that time.
Slay the Spire - I finally got a win as the Defect, which means I now have wins with two of three classes. I'll be working on the final one, next.
Skyrim - Something prompted me to return to this game once again. I just started going down the journal checklist of quests, and ended up becoming a werewolf, somewhat unexpectedly. I'm not sure what's next.
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr - First off, this is a badly titled game. The franchise name: title format is understandable, but the subtitle they've given it is unforgivable. They should have left it off. The Martyr, to begin with, is the name of a derelict ship, and not something your Inquisitor becomes, or anything like that. The game seems OK, if a little slow-paced. It's doing the Diablo thing, but I'm not certain it is going to commit. So far, it's been a bunch of 10-15 minute missions in discrete maps on the derelict ship.
Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon - The turn-based, hex-based strategic wargame. I got nearly to the end of a mission but lost by running afoul of the turn limit. Blast! I think I'll try it again with the stock army loadout rather than the one I cobbled together out of incompetence.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate - I finished the main storyline. I also bought all the DLC, which I will force myself to give a good go before moving on to AC: Origins.
Destiny 2 - I really just don't think this is the game for me. I don't know why I keep loading it up and tooling around the town without playing at all. I think I need to just ignore it until and unless it gets much more solo-friendly. Or until it has some interesting fiction, which I guess will never happen at this point.
