Stream:
Luke plays AC:NH - Nature day updates - again, I didn't see the first hour of this, because I was watching a Dicebreaker stream, but the rest of it was chill as usual. (And he read one of my comments from the chat stream!!! *spins happily*)

So thanks to my friend Jean on twitter, I have ended up listening to the FFVII Remake soundtrack. Turns out I have Opinions, who knew! (He also has Opinions, which is what started this off in the first place).
I'm not going to say anything about it right now, because I'm halfway through a hecking playlist on youtube, and I'm making notes as I go. I've got like, ten sides of notes on A4 paper already. (I'm going to condense it, though, because a lot of it is essentially different ways of saying the same thing). I was originally going to make a HUEG twitter thread, but I think it might work better as a post on here.
Oh yeah, and on a related note: I watched Advent Children for the first time in years. It's okay, I guess? I suppose if I were still into FFVII as much as I was when it was first released, I'd enjoy it more. I didn't dislike it, but I dunno. It just wasn't doing it for me this time. I cried every time Aeris' theme played, though, because apparently I am an emotional wreck at the moment!
(I feel I should say here that, while VII isn't my favourite Final Fantasy any more (though it was for a good long time though), it's special to me as a) it's the first one I ever played, and b) it got me through a horrible depressive phase when I was 23, and I'll always be grateful for that. And the soundtrack is one of my comfort blankets. So I still feel extremely strongly about it, even if I'm not all !!! about it all the time).

Tea reviews, I has them behind this cut!
Morrisons Spiced Orange: I...don't know why I keep buying this, because I keep being disappointed with it. It tastes orangey, sure, but there may as well be no spices in it, because you can't taste them anyway.
Twinings Cherry and Cinnamon: This, on the other hand, is divine. It tastes like cherries, and it tastes like cinnamon. It is very yummy, and I like it a lot! Heads up that this has liquorice root in it, so if you don't like that, maybe avoid? You can't taste it (it's the smallest ingredient), but maybe it's something to be aware of?
(I suppose the difference here is price point: the Morrisons tea is cheap, and you get forty bags. The Twinings tea is a bit more expensive, you only get twenty bags. But honestly, I'd rather pay more for a nicer experience).
Lidl Deluxe Green Rooibos, Peach, and Cherry: Firstly, I get what everyone was saying about the creaminess and sweetness of Rooibos. And I like it! So I may well experiment with more in the future (though at the moment, I have A Lot of Tea, so not yet). Secondly, this tea is SO PEACHY and I love it! Peach is one of my favourite flavours/fruits, but it's not too common? I'd advise against getting it if you want the cherry flavour, though, because it's just not apparent (well, not to me).
Tetley Cold Infusion - Strawberry and Watermelon: I picked this up on a whim a while back because it was on offer. It's okay, I guess? It's not horrible, anyway, although as someone who likes strawberries, I think it's too heavy on the strawberry flavouring. I was expecting it to be lighter and more watermelony, but nope! Also the flavour gets better the longer you leave the bag in the water - I've been leaving it for way longer than the recommendation advises and it's good, just not what I wanted.
