+* On the plus side, it turns out [[silverbullet]] *does* have journaling facilities by installing the [[Journal]] library: https://silverbullet.md/Library/Journal
+- On the negative side, it defaults to a weird Journal/Day prefix :)

+- Again it took me until 7pm to get into a situation I could call [[focus]], let alone [[flow]]; earlier I did useful things that needed to take place (like cleaning around the house and such), but that produced only diffuse output.

+    - The graphics are good and I wanted to try out the 'shoot at things without much of a plot' experience again, and I got that.
+    - But I don't like you can't save/quicksave. It's all checkpoint based (whyyy).
+    - And I didn't have as much 'fun' with it. Maybe it's too violent to maintain my interest nowadays.
