My spoopy cookie bake is complete! It took 3 days. Some for freezing, some have already been eaten.
The ghosts are my favourite 
The gingerbread is my Mom's recipe, which is to die for. The other is an attempt at lavender lemon which sort of worked I guess. They tasty enough.

Ski Sniper (2.4 hours) : This is not a game where you ski and then snipe things. This is a game where you snipe ski jumpers. They reuse the Sniper Elite bullet time effects and set goals for shooting kidneys, left foot, spleen, etc. You get money for completing special task or back to back snipes. The money is then used to unlock new guns or drugs to help improve your focus. Fun for about 30 minutes then it is played out despite having half a dozen sniping locations to shoot from. Easy enough to 100% the game if you don't mind spending a half dozen hours ensuring you hit a jumpers kidneys instead of their spleen.

Deep Rock Galactic (26.6 hours): Still haven't spent any time in high level play which is my biggest gripe about the game, you have to grind for so long to unlock some things and it is actually super annoying. Concept of the game is 4 dwarf squad co-op mining game. You launch from a space station/ship into a big rock that has several different biomes in it. Each one has as different environment but effectively they are still the same just reskins. Environmental dangers are the only thing that really changes.
You have 4 characters engineer/gunner/scout/driller each with different weapons but the skill tree is shared. Each character must be leveled up independently and each level the character increases it helps level up your player level which allows for unlocks in cosmetics and some basic items like higher difficulty. This gets into my biggest issue with the game since it takes so long to level 4 characters, promote, and start it all over. There is a whole segment that requires you to promote one character after level 25 which moves them back to level 1 to do it all over again.
Out side of that the graphics are good enough, their usage of light in the game is spot on since you are mining, and the cave systems are procedural so it is always fresh but lately when I have been host games as driller there is a lot of BS placement on ceilings. Worth the $30 especially if you have a couple friends that play. The devs just released a new update and there are a lot of details or explorable elements in the game that they didn't have to put in but gives it a nice 'we cared about this' feel.

Re: I need a new smartwatch, finally
Also have the Vivoactive, its been great for all the reasons others have said. Probably going to upgrade to a Fenix for good GPS mapping, but the Vivo is a great basic watch.

Re: I need a new smartwatch, finally
I have had a Garmin Vivoactive 3, Marie also has one and it is a really great fitness watch, easy to use app, automatically synchs with Strava. It has many features and is very well loved and usable with GPS for mapping runs/etc. Just recently upgraded to a Fenix 5S and its also great, would recommend this watch as well, has all the usability of the Vivoactive 3 kicked up a notch.
Re: I need a new smartwatch, finally
Wow, I didn't even know there were ever smart watches with e-paper. Sounds doap!
I'm a Garmin user but because my primary use is the fitness stuff, so not helpful for you perhaps :-D It does get through close to a week without charging, depending on how much I use the GPS. Faces are pretty customizable with most brands now as far as I have seen. Vibrating alarm is also standard now (mine doesn't have the ability to make any sounds at all). I think most are fitness focused apart from maybe the apple and android watches which are more smart-phone feature focused. My Garmin Vivoactive has a touch screen and phone notifications too, but fewer of the smart-phone sync features. Touch screen vs no button based might be a dividing factor for you.
