Some things:
1. Thanks to everyone who recced me The Last of Us. I know it is a good game, and it has Ashley Johnson in it, but:
a. I like survival horror in principle. I don't play it because I am a big scaredy cat.
b. I have a feeling that game will break me, and I don't want that right now.
c. Cordyceps are terrifying enough in real life without them being used as the basis for a zombie infestation (see also why I will probably never read The Girl With All the Gifts, despite owning a copy).
2. I have finally managed to get a wheely trolly thinger for less than the one I was going to get originally! With next day delivery, it came to less than the previous one. Sadly, I could not choose the colour, and it is bright lime green. I was hoping for blue, but I suppose there might be some way to redye it.
I mean, the storage part does feel kind of cheap, but if it only lasts me a year, I'll be happy (it better last me longer, though). The frame and wheels are nice and sturdy, though, so that's good. Going to try it out tomorrow when I do the weekly shopping!
(also it's good because it means I can use it for transporting stuff to post AND stuff to and from (small) cons, if I start exhibiting).
3. Thanks to Pokemon Go, I have done two ~two mile walks in two days! I would do another today to hit up the local Pokestops, but that I am working this afternoon, and will be on my feet, and I'd rather not be an ow made flesh, thanks.
(Talking of ow made flesh, it turns out there's THREE pokestops in my village. Except the third is Up A Big Hill, and I don't know if my knees are up for that at the moment. Although then again, it's not far from where I used to walk to sometimes, so I might check it out over the weekend, I don't know).
Anyway, I caught a Pikachu on my second day, so I am kind of smug about that. It's a really crappy Pikachu, but it's a Pikachu nonetheless (my nephew will be excited to see it, I bet. Pikachu is his favourite).
I'm creeped out that Google Fit knows exactly where I went walking, though. I have it on for the Adventure Synch, otherwise I'd rarely hatch eggs or get candies from walking. But it's still creepy. TALKING OF WHICH. I hatched two eggs yesterday and got two p good Kricketots out of them.
4. I tried to play some FFXII yesterday, in order to get to the end (I know I know how it ends, etc, but I'm trying to make myself finish games instead of abandoning them. And I am SO CLOSE now to the end). And I've promised myself that if I do, then I can play Infinite Undiscovery on the 360. Or I might change my mind and play something else.
Anyway, the point of this was that not only did I keep getting mashed by the enemies in Giruvegan (fucking Behemoth types), but I then ran headfirst into an entite. I don't know what it is about this particular time I'm playing, but I don't think there's anywhere except the Estersand(?) where I haven't encountered an entite.
I feel sorry for people who play this game, not knowing about those arseholes. Especially because they can seem to be randomly generated.
(When I got the inevitable game over, because Behemoths, the next run into Giruvegan didn't have one at all. Yet surely the weather conditions are the same? Unless they reset on reload for the most part - except for Giza, where it's on a timer. I don't know, and I don't know if I really want to).
5. I didn't think I had much to say, hahahaha. Apologies. I'm going to go and read stuff now.

With my gameplay in Giruvegan, though, it was loads directly from my save both times, so I assume there must be some level of randomness to whether they appear or not, as well as the weather conditions.
