    Thunderstorm just rolling over the village, but the house battery is fully charged and I need not fear the inevitable power cut.

    Submitted another assessment, and passed the two I submitted last night. Phew!

    Gotta wait for the quizzes to open, and complete the last two assessments on WHS, and I should be good.

    I really hope I hear back about that job I interviewed for on Tuesday. I’m trying not to think too hard on it, just remain hopeful but not dwell. It’s so hard because I’d freaking love it. Argh!

    Someone’s playing guitar real late. It’s pleasant though. Twangy, slow, country/blues-esque tune, a lilty voice that’s too faint to make out.

    It’s a vibe and I’m vibing

    Today I am trying to cut as much dairy out of my diet as I can. Just to see how bad this intolerance/allergy really is.

    Otherwise, weight loss continues. clothes getting baggy. 😊

    Listened to a podcast about a guy who pretended to be a Saudi prince and defrauded people out of millions of dollars. He managed to access a credit card with a limit of $200 million and no one really knows how he did it. I am astonished.

    Keys to the old house handed it. Good riddance, hope they knock it down.

    Less great it looks like the next door neighbour who helped himself to our garage is going to be an ongoing problem. No, your tradies may not traipse back & forth through my house all day. Grrr.

      NOOOOOOO. Read a review or something first. People have got to stop giving ubisoft money if the game is shit. I stress the IF there. If its good go nuts! Took me ages to get my wife to see she was in an abusive relationship with AC games. She hate played odyssey and I had to put my foot down after she was yelling at the tv.

        I have read reviews and watched gameplay videos over the past while.

        Looks better than previous iterations.

        And honestly, I’ve enjoyed each AC game to some extent. Valhalla was a low point for me, but had fun at the start. Mirage was decent, with a fine story.

        By all accounts this one is an improvement over the previous RPG ones.

          Valhalla didn’t gel with me for some reason after awhile, maybe it was the itemization.

          I can’t say I’ve been following Shadows but I have heard about the twin protag thing and I’m not really sure I’m so keen on it being a dual protag game.

          I’ve got Xenoblade Chronicles X today to pick up, I think Shadows can wait for a discount or something.

            I’m actually looking forward to the dual protagonist thing. Syndicate was fine with it, but the characters were too close to each other. This one offers two very different gameplay styles.

            From what I’ve seen combat is better then before and actually requires a bit of skill. They seem to have taken cues from Ghost of Tsushima.

            In any case, got nothing else to play at the moment, so this should do me nicely. I’m off work next week, so can fully immerse myself in it.

              I’ll keep my eye out on Shadows as I do love the Japanese setting. I’m hoping we’ll see Ghosts of Yotei later this year somewhere.

              Let me know how Shadows go after you’ve had a good play session or two out of it.

                Will do. I’ll probably post my feelings and experiences later today, or tomorrow.

                GOY is my most anticipated game this year (I’m pretty certain it’s a 2025 release).

                Hoping AC is big and decent enough to hold me over until the official announcement for the other one.

                  Well that didn’t take long to escalate.

                  Apparently there’s going to be a day 1 patch due to complaints about shrines and temples.

                  "The day one patch will make tables and shelving located in in-game shrines indestructible and will reduce non-essential depictions of bloodshed taking place in shrines and temples. In addition, when attacking unarmed NPCs, there will no longer be depictions of blood. "

      I’ve always been a bit meh on miso soup. It’s ok enough, but if it wasn’t there I wouldn’t miss it. Everything else in a bento is delicious.
