I realize how this is manipulating me to use Bing, but at least it helps me hit my points goal for the month.
I have an auto redeem goal set up that gives me $10 every month for just under 9k points. It's not hugely challenging plus I like trying new games in Game Pass and doing a brief few quizes on my phone once a day. It's like my only phone "game" right now.
I realized today that I'm a traitor to my own goals, so now I'm afraid to make any, especially ones that are supposedly good for me. I've been sticking to my reading goals though. Possibly, I only stick to goals that aren't the most beneficial to me. Maybe that's the problem.
I've really tried to cut my game purchases to only what I'm going to play right away. Sales are tempting but I just put them in my wish list for later. I seem to be okay with having just the wish list. But i also have a bunch of free games that come in, 5 every month from Games with Gold on Xbox. I try to play them, but I'm still far behind in that.
I played Dead Cells on Game Pass and now I can't stop thinking about it. I'd consider buying it on a sale.
I love the graphics and design in Kirby games. I need to get Rainbow Curse for my Wii-U.
I found the list of rules in Pinball FX, but it was kind of hard to find and written in tiny text. Pinball Hall of Fame does a better job at that, which is now Pinball Arcade on current systems.
I've started to read the rule sets for tables. Once I know the goals, I can try and meet them. I usually don't get very far but it makes it more fun when you know what the goals are.
I really liked the Mario Galaxy games but I got stuck somewhere in each of them that made me stop. It's always some timed jumping thing that I fail several times that gets my goat.
I'll get to hockey sometime soon. I'm going to do some bowling and pinball this month, but some week in between championships I'll play hockey and simulate a Flyer's game.
I saw that division change on a website but didn't understand it. I haven't really followed hockey closely for a while even though I hold it as one of my favorite sports.
I'm tempted to simulate a whole season, but I don't think I'd get through it all. So I just do a single game at a time.
The Monopoly championships don't have a date yet but it's supposed to happen sometime next Fall. It would be neat to watch it. I've seen snippets in a documentary I watched once, the name of which I forget now.
I've stopped buying games on sales for the most part. I use the wish list on Xbox now instead. If the stars align right, I'll buy one of them, but only if I'm going to play it right away.
Good luck on your goals.
