List post!
1. Someone on youtube made a video that was Outside Xtra's and Eurogamer's playthroughs of Bloodborne edited together, and watching it reminded me of two things:
a) I actually find Bloodborne tedious to watch, and probably would find it irritating as heck to play. I'd actually forgotten I said I didn't like it, repeatedly, back last year.
b) I find the story (I refuse to say "lore") interesting! Well, what I know of it, I do. Apparently it's well-known
( that this is a spoiler! ) I think my brain just accepts that if the setting is pseudo-Victorian England/pseudo-London with a gothic overlay then things are going to be weird anyway.
2. It's been raining! \o/ There was even thunder yesterday! (it didn't last very long, sadly)
3. I had to take Jazz to the vet yesterday for her annual checkup/boosters. She doesn't like her cat box, and I hate putting her in it, so it was fun times for all concerned!
Anyway, she is fine, although slightly overweight, according to the vet (and I checked, looking myself and, yeah, I agree). She's nearly six kilos now, y'all! Obviously, the vet wants her to lose some weight. I think I know what the problem is, I think it's her biscuits, so I'm going to weigh out the amount she should have, rather than eyeballing it and giving her too many.
4. I went back to Nocturne after an almost three week break. I assumed I'd remember where I needed to go, but nope! I had two cracks at the penultimate boss, and almost beat them on my first go, except they got lucky with a Mahamaon and KO'd Hitoshura *shakes tiny fists* (I do have Endure as a skill, but obviously it doesn't always work, otherwise that would be cheating!) Then my second go was way worse, so I gave up after that, heh. I know what I need to do, though. It's not a difficult boss, it's just a bit tedious and they have a gimmicky move that's annoying.
5. My copy of NEO: TWEWY arrived yesterday! I won't be playing it till I finish Nocturne first, though. That's the rule. I need to be better about finishing games, and I'm getting there with that.
(I just did Minamimoto's boss fight in the original game the other day, and I had forgotten how intensely annoying hearing, "DIE RADIANS!" is over and over and over again. I'm now halfway through the third week, I think? I haven't looked at it for a few days because I haven't felt like playing).
6. Further to Rereading Stuff I've Already Readâ„¢, I ordered myself a copy of Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones because I don't already own it. I don't know if it's the weirdest thing she ever wrote, as I've only read it twice, or the second weirdest (in which case Archer's Goon would be first). I loved it the first time I read it, so maybe I will love it again? WHO KNOWS.
