I was still in VHH with someone and we had just finished doing a quick candle run with Nicole. Eventually, Nicole had to sleep and we kept playing Sky for a bit more. At around 1 a.m., someone streamed a new game titled Until Then. She kept playing and we thought it was a cute story. We took note of the hidden easter eggs and real-life references the game made. We kept spotting parodies of real-world ads as well. Eventually, we got to a point where the protagonist had a shocking discovery that I honestly could relate to so well. It was a really shocking twist and it tugged on my heartstrings quite a bit. We eventually got to the end of the demo and I decided to buy Until Then and played it. Someone eventually dozed off and I disconnected them from VHH.

I slept and my Saturday morning was nothing unusual, except for the fact that I was still talking to someone—a rare occurrence for Saturdays since they're usually gone. Then, while I was taking a shower, I got called to work to immediately fix an issue. I was still wearing just a towel but whatever, I still worked on it and it was a pretty easy fix. The people on the call, including the CTO, were all stumped and I came in clutch to fix the problem. It actually felt really good because I used my RHEL/yum/dnf skills to fix the problem. After that, my usual Saturday went on.

In the evening, Rachel invited me to play games with her and we played a few rounds of Phasmophobia. Unfortunately, she wasn't all that enthusiastic about it and it wasn't scary to me anymore. We then moved on to Dead By Daylight and we played 1 round together. It was sad that her Internet connection dropped out mid-game and she didn't reconnect back into the game. Our gaming session ended there and my sister gave me Popeyes, which was a welcomed surprise. I remembered how fun Dead By Daylight was and I realized that it was one of my comfort games during the 2021 season of the pandemic. I kept watching DBD videos throughout the entire night.
