For some reason, I decided it would be pertinent to spend most of the weekend watching a Resident Evil 2 longplay. As you do.
The first one I found was Claire A/Leon B, which is the canon order (as of Darkside Chronicles), but which feels backwards to me because when I played through it with my BFF, we did Leon A/Claire B (and didn't finish the whole game for whatever reason), and that's what feels "right" to me. So now I am watching a different one that's doing it that way. That makes it a lot more clearer to me now that there are not as many changes between the versions as I thought, but enough that it obviously became a thing that I like in fiction.
(I was pleased to learn (or relearn, since I probably knew at some point) that the canon version of events in RE1 is Jill's, because that's the one me and my BFF did. Although, again, we didn't finish it because of whatever reasons. I mean, we did get as far as the final boss, but we never beat him).
(We totally nailed RE3, though :D )
So that's what I'm doing now. Of course, I also thought about streaming the other games, since I'm really not going to play them myself, but omfg there are so many now! Although I'm not really getting the chance to play anything besides Animal Crossing on my phone/2DS, sooooo...it will give me something else as an option to have on when I'm doing Stuff™

In other news, I requested All The Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater from the library, and started reading it today. I am not very far in (page 8!), but I don't know if I will finish it. I think I'm a bit jaded by stuff I'd read a while back about it (I have read some good stuff, but obvs the bad stuff is what sticks in your brain).
I suppose we will just have to see!
