"Just a quick go" I said, after Baldur's Gate 3 had finally finished hoovering up what little free space was left on my SSD. "I'll just tweak the settings, make a character, watch that icky intro, and then carry on with whatever I was doing before" I said. After all, Destiny 2's Solstice event wasn't going to grind itself.
I told myself those lies… I'm not quite sure how many hours ago, now. What I do know for sure is that my tea's gone stone cold before a single drop of it has touched my lips, I've missed important messages from family members, the laundry I left to dry in the sun is now soaked with rain, and my home's resident teenager has gone quiet. Suspiciously quiet.
