I won't bore you with the details, but I had no internet for an entire day because my router went kaput! I didn't know that was a thing that really happened, given the previous one had been repeatedly knocked over by cats/me, and had been Really Old, and yet somehow kept on working.

Anyway, I rang my ISP customer service, and they said the problem was the router, and would send me a new one, free of charge! The lady I spoke to said it would be with me within two to three days, so I was anticipating a long three days.

It arrived while I was out of the house yesterday. I plugged everything in, and it all works, and we're all good again, yaaaaaay!

While my internet was out, however, I played some more FFV Advance, and I only have Exdeath/Neo Exdeath left to beat! I came really close to it last night - I managed to kill 3/4 of the parts, and got the fourth one so low it started doing desperation attacks (which suck ass, btw). And then I tried it again and failed miserably, so eh.

I think I may have to grind some job levels (*eye roll*). I already did an EXP grinding run to get Lenna to the same level as everyone else (41). I don't know if it helped much, and she always levels last.

I guess the thing to do next is finish up Diablo III, since I am similarly close to the end of that. I thought about playing Dark Souls II, after, because IDK I hate myself? ;) (Fandom will have you believe it is The Worst Souls Game EVER™ but we'll see).

Finally, IDK if anyone is interested, but yesterday afternoon/evening, I finally got around to watching Johnny and Wheels livestream playing The Thousand Year Old Vampire, which is a solo RPG, but can be played as a communal game (which is sort of what they did here - they did the writing, and threw open decisions to the livestream chat). Part two is here.

I can only think the reason I didn't watch it live was because Luke was streaming Demon's Souls at the time, and it's taken me this long to catch up on it again because reasons??? (Probably me forgetting I wanted to watch it and it not coming up in my yt recs, I should think).

I'm proper getting into the idea of solo RPGs, which I didn't know were a thing that existed until Dicebreaker mentioned them. There's a few I want to play (I specifically want to play The Machine and then pass it on to my friend Chris, but I think both of us are going to need to not be in a bad mindset before playing it, because it isn't cheerful). I don't know that I want to play The Thousand Year Old Vampire (esp if it's as depressing as the prompts make out. Though teenage me would've eaten it up because ANGST). But it's nice to know there are options out there for someone who can't or doesn't want to play with other people.

As usual, I have no idea how to end this post, so I'm just going to stop here and hit "post".
