I want to apologise if I upset anyone with what I said about people not using hand sanitiser in this post I made the other day.

I have no problem with people who can't use it because of health conditions.

It's the people who complain about it and/or are passive aggressive with me about not using it, or expect me to know that they just used it in the place next door (or wherever). This is not an excuse, but I'd been thoroughly wound up by someone the day before about it, so I was angry when I wrote that bit, and I didn't put any thought into what I was saying, or how I was saying it. I was venting but a) I should've been clearer about what I meant or b) I should've just not posted it in the first place.

I'm not going to pretend I didn't say it, and delete it from the original, which is why I'm making this post separately.

I should have thought about what I said before I said it, and I'm sorry that I didn't.

So for a while now, I have needed to buy a new landline because the display on the old one is...not great now. I can't remember how long I've had this one, maybe five years or so? (It's a really old model, and I got it for mum from a discount store, so it were probably discontinued when we had it new anyway).

I know I could use it as phone without a display - it still functions like it's meant to - but I've got used to having caller display. I also have two corded handsets (this one is cordless), but again, they don't have displays, so I'd feel like I was going backwards technologically.

Anyway, long story short, I wiffled for a while about buying a new one, as obviously it costs money, and I am not rich. But I've bought one this morning, that is just a single handset - the old one is a pair, but I really don't need two handsets as I'm rarely upstairs anyway. I got it from Argos, and it was £20, and that's not too bad! (I did look in the same discount store a while back, but they seem to have stopped selling phones). And then I thought I'd look to see what cheap 3DS games they were selling, just for giggles, and now I have a copy of Yo-Kai Watch coming as well??? In my defence, it was only £1.50, I've thought about buying it before, and my nephew might like it even if I don't?

(I was going to buy one of the sequels as well for £3.50, but they were out of stock. Which in a way is good, because what if I didn't like the first one?? And I could have had one of the Monster Hunter 3DS games for cheap, except that was also out of stock, which again, probably a good thing, since I think Monster Hunter is like Dark Souls in that I would not enjoy it one bit).

And then, the best part is, it's all getting delivered this afternoon! Which is nice.

I've been watching Aoife and Johnny from Eurogamer play Bloodborne because reasons I am not entirely sure of. I don't even like Bloodborne! Aoife/the comments mentioned some of the lore, and I still have no idea W T F is going on!

Anyway, I also watched some of their Late to the Party videos (in which one of them plays a game they don't know), and I thought you also might be interested in some of them?

Aoife and Ian play Resident Evil 2 (original)

Ian and Johnny play Silent Hill

Aoife and Ian play Bloodborne

Aoife and Johnny play Final Fantasy VII

Aoife and Johnny play Final Fantasy X

I don't know what else to say, though no doubt I will remember stuff once I've switched the computer off, and I need to make some dinner, so I'm going to go and do that.
