like a bolt from the blue
So yesterday, someone was supposed to come and look at my boiler/gas meter to check everything was okay. Nobody came all day, and I am fuming. I did type more here, but you don't need to know it. Just know I am angry and tired.
(I don't feel like I've rested at all these last four days I've had off, so that's nice. I'm also going to be working ten days out of the next twelve, so that's also nice. By which I mean it isn't).

In NEO: TWEWY news, more spoilers!
It turns out I am on the penultimate day! Or I would be, if I didn't keep jumping back into previous days to level/feed my children repeatedly to get their stats up (I sort of hate that that's how the stat boosting works, but eh, there's very little other way around it, as levelling only raises HP a tiny bit, and clothes only buff so much).
Anyway, not for the first time, I got my ass handed to me by Susukichi. Whose noise form reminds me of Higashizawa, which is probably, absolutely, on purpose. And sort of ties into my daft idea about whose dying dream this. I mean, I thought Rindo at first, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's Neku. Though, as I said, I think I read something on the subreddit and speculated a bit too hard. Also IDK I like dying dreams as a trope. Silent Hill's bad ending is to blame for that. Thanks, Silent Hill.
Talking of Susukichi - he's the guy I initially thought was a Reaper, but then I said he wasn't. BUT HE IS. So I was right all along! But I think you're supposed to be "eh, what?!" at the start of the game because everything is confusing and new, but he introduces himself around the same time as Shoka and Kubo, which really ought to give it away! And does, as it happens.
Also I never thought I would say this out loud, but gosh dang, I miss Tin Pin Slammer. It frustrates the fuck out of me, but I actually do miss it. And the Reaper Reviews. There's like, one quiz like that in the entire game, and that's it. *sad face*
Anyway, I don't know how much of it I'll get to play in the next two weeks (as I said, I'm going to be super busy at work, yippee), so I don't know if I'll beat it any time soon, but I am actually determined to do it! I want to know WTF is going on!

In Stuff I Watched Lately:
Aoife streamed some more of Boyfriend Dungeon, which I wish had more of a solid plot line. Also I'm glad she's playing it and not me, because none of the date options are my type.
(Also I'm not familiar with dating games, so I don't know if a bare bones plot is typical of the genre?)
And Zoe streamed some of a game called Twelve Minutes, which is eh, at best, and unnecessarily violent, imo. I think it's for shock value rather than the purposes of the plot (what little plot there is). So just be aware of that if you do decide to watch this stream.
