November 2022 is no more. It has been a slow month. I made myself some tea just before typing this, and the drawer where we keep it broke, so that's a good start. More things broke this month, such as the dryer (for the second time), a bike tire, a glass, a piece of the parquet (??), and my mood. These gray and windy days remind me of disturbing scenes from [The Excavation of Hob's Barrow](https://jefklakscodex.com/games/pc/the-excavation-of-hobs-barrow/).

Speaking about breaking stuff, I continued the site refactoring streak of last month and migrated another blog to a CSS grid system where the sidebar disappears after the content by changing `grid-template-columns` from `24% 1fr` to `100%` and adding a `grid-row` value of `2`. I had no idea it was possible to swap rows, that's quite neat!

## Books I've read
I started reading Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's _Grand Europa Hotel_ but it's a big one and can be difficult to digest at times. Progress has been slow---at the end of our days, there's still little energy left to read. It does somehow match closely to [last month's](/post/2022/11/october-2022) _Ik = Cartograaf_ as they're both about the history of Europe, although I like Ilja's writing style and approach a lot more.

## Games I've played
- [Axiom Verge 2](https://jefklakscodex.com/games/switch/axiom-verge-2/)---4/5; the successor to last month's _Axiom Verge_, another one-man stunt from Tom Happ. It feels less spectacular than the first one but it's still highly enjoyable as a metroidvania. I own Limited Run Games' physical release of the 2-in-1 cartridge (8hrs).
- [Void Bastards](https://jefklakscodex.com/games/switch/void-bastards/)---2/5; I bought that one last year and gave it a couple of hours before giving up. After giving it a second chance, I gave it another couple of hours before giving up. The Switch version feels cumbersome (4hrs).
- [Yoshi's Crafted World](https://jefklakscodex.com/games/switch/yoshis-crafted-world/)---3/5; an enjoyable if repetitive platformer that's likely to be more fun when played with your kids (7hrs).
- [The Excavation of Hob's Barrow](https://jefklakscodex.com/games/pc/the-excavation-of-hobs-barrow/)---4/5; this must be the highlight of the month: an exceptionally creepy and well-written indie adventure game with superb voice acting (6hrs). Here's the launch trailer for good measure:
