gravity!!
I have Babby's First Ever Video Call tomorrow, and I am crapping myself about it. So much so I already had a stress dream about it a couple of nights ago.
I've been put on this job thing, to help me with finding work, and one of the things they could offer was an interview skills workshop type thing. I said yes to it, because I've barely ever had interviews anyway, and most of them were ages ago. And then the guy who was booking me in was like, "Oh yeah, it'll be online, via Teams," and I....well, I didn't feel I could refuse, but I'm not very happy about it. (Apparently I can just use it in my browser, rather than having to use the program, so that's good to know!)
It should be fine, anyway. I don't think it'll be longer than an hour, and it can't be worse than attending that sort of thing IRL, can it?

I went to work wearing my skelly costume yesterday, and actually got a few compliments on it! \o/

In other news, I absolutely cheesed the Bell Gargoyles in Dark Souls by summoning not only Solaire, but also Lautrec of Carim. I got, like, a few hits in, but they did most of the work, and I don't care.
I also had one occasion before that where I put the pine resin stuff on my sword, charged in, got one hit, and promptly fell off the roof, because stuff like that happens!
Some of the physics, and the stupid ways I've died absolutely remind me of Enter the Matrix, which is a game I was hilariously bad at, back in the day. I don't think I ever beat it, but I was playing on a Gamecube borrowed from my friend at the time, so possibly I gave it back before I was done.
Anyway, my next boss is the Capra Demon (o boy). I'm going to attempt cheesing it by either throwing firebombs (or dung pies) over the top of the fog door, or hitting it with the Drake Sword. There's no summon (afaik) because it's an "easier" boss. (Some players will tell you summoning is cheating, but it's put into the game for a reason. That reason being that if you're having trouble with a boss, you can summon NPC support).
And then I have the joy that is the Depths/Blighttown to look forward to!
