Stilton: I was just going to put Grim Danfango in my cart, but being a wise Viking I checked those review things. Looks like they've ballsed up a classic with a crummy 'remastering' which has chewed the thing like an angry Doberman. People are reporting loads of issues which just shouldn't happen. Why the hell with that game? Lazy bastards.
EndreWhiteMane: That's a letdown, I already own Dam Frangringo.
Is it really that bad? I didn't have a PC when it came out so I've not played it yet. By the sound of things I'm not missing much.
akhliber: Hi again, folks! Man, I've been so out of touch lately. Can't focus enough to feel I've got something to say... so I just pop in every now and then with a "hello."
My head's all over the place, but it's mostly positive places... I'm planning on getting some "Kallax" shelves from Ikea for my records, and I keep thinking about having them in place... and I settled on a turntable I want to replace the one I've been using (to the detriment of my albums) which I've had since high school, and hasn't been kept in the best condition... plus, it's a really cheap player that isn't exactly kind to my record collection...
And then I wander off to what I'll be installing on the new pc, and what I won't be, and how to make peace with that.
Sarge is into a second round of teething. We thought he was done, he'd settled down, but he's gone through about half his toys in the past three or four days. I picked up a little tiny tire for him, and I've found putting ice cubes into the inside of the tire is one of the most fun things to do in the world. He goes nuts. He loves ice, but hard-to-get ice is apparently all the more valuable.
I feel sh*tty for popping in, talking about myself, not asking others about their lives, and disappearing again... I'll get better at that... I make light of the mental health stuff most of the time, but holy hell, it's hard to focus sometimes. It's one of my favorite things about Sarge... even when I have no clue how to communicate, he gets me, and I him, and there's never that feeling of "needing to lay low for a while."
How are you guys enjoying the sale? I haven't yet felt tempted enough to bite on anything, but it's been fun watching.
Sarge is asleep, I've been cleaning a bit, and my physical health has been good enough that I'm enjoying a beer. I'm considering getting into a bit of Dragon Age: Inquisition, but I'm at a place where all I have left on the war table is the DLC quests and the story quest, so I'm just going from area to area wrapping up side quests before going further into the story. I'd originally told myself I wasn't going to bother with shard collecting, but without even realizing it, I started collecting them, and now have almost all of them. I believe I need 8 more shards to complete the third of three quests that require them to open some doors in an old tomb. It's odd, I can't quite say I've enjoyed the past couple play sessions I've had with the game, but I am still determined to wrap up all the side quests before proceeding with the story. I keep thinking, "you could do the story quest and be done with this game pretty soon," but I'm feeling this drive to find ALL THE THINGS first...
I'm not used to that happening in games. I've never been a completionist. At least not until Pillars of Eternity and The Witcher 3. It's weird.
*Big hugs all around*
Here's a little afternoon cleaning music for you all:
