I am actually truly stumped for prechapter rambles today.
I can’t think of a thing at all, well I have been busy today.
Actually, one of my appointments for this week got rescheduled to next week… on the same day as another appointment.
So I need to reschedule the other one (so I seem less rude than rerescheduling).
I need to prepare for another meeting this week.
I think it’s my last one this year since they tend to close for Christmas.
Which means I need to compile evidence of what I’ve done this year to look like I’ve actually done stuff.
Well, actually to be honest I have done more this year than last year.
And last year was my personal best.
So I guess that makes this year my new best…
It was still only a handful of interviews though. Life is hard.
Sigh.
We live in troubled times…
The trouble you ask?
It’s me learning that the £1 discounts on my membership card were not a weekly thing and did end up running out eventually.
Alas…
So sad.
Now all I am left with is useless ones for specific brands and products…
Yet I only buy from two brands at this store…
It seems my membership card will mostly collect dust now.
Apparently Attack on Titan ended?
What did it finally end at?
Absolutely Final Finale Part 2 Final Season Part 2 Final Part?
Honestly it started to become a joke towards the end there.
I actually stopped watching like five seasons ago…
About the time of the reveal of what’s beyond the walls I think?
I thought it was cool at first but the execution and where the story went just killed my excitement for the world they could have been exploring.
With Halloween passing we must now look forward to the inevitable collapse of our finances that is Christmas shopping.
Or in my case, Christmas commissions!
Haha… no for real I have a huge family… Christmas shopping always kills me… It’s like extended torture for an entire month…
Anyway…
I will still get at least one Christmas themed piece of artwork! I just need to choose who and what!
Star Rail announced some new characters.
I don’t play anymore actually, but Dr Ratio made me laugh.
It’s a bold name but I can respect the audacity.
A friend of mine already made a “You’ve been ratiod” joke about them…
I wonder if that will become a meme if they have a Welt style ultimate.
Welt is great, I love his character.
I have two light novels that are coincidentally scheduled to arrive sometime around Christmas.
Well okay that’s a lie…
One of them is anytime from Christmas until my birthday…
Seriously Amazon what is up with that?
Why do you keep shuffling the delivery date around of an already released book THAT I PREORDERED?!
Sigh…
Can never win.
I foolishly made an art commission today out of an accidental impulse.
I had a vague idea for a commission and saw an artist open requests…
So I decided to feel them out and see what they thought of the idea and if we could nail a concept.
We spent a long time on it…
Then they named their price and it was… high…
But it had been so much talking by that point that I felt I couldn’t pull back.
Alas… I will just have to use some of my savings, oh well.
I can probably make up for it eventually.
I have a hellish interview to attend on Wednesday.
Luckily Talos Principle 2 releases the next day.
So I have a kind of reward for myself for surviving it… sort of…
I’m really stoked for that game, I’m probably gonna end up streaming it for the first time in forever.
Though I will probably just play it on discord.
I signed up for membership at my local shop weeks ago and still haven’t got my card…
I even made sure to request a new card just to be sure and it said it would arrive in 10 days over a week ago.
So I shall give them until the end of the week before I give up on their entire existence!
I joke, I’ll just stop caring about it.
There is an obnoxiously large fly in my room and I cannot for the life of me work out how it got in.
It wasn’t here earlier.
My window is closed.
My door is closed.
And worse I can’t catch it at all since it refuses to land anywhere.
I have opened my door and my hope is that it will fly out…
There’s something surreal about looking out the window and immediately making eye contact with a pair of foxes eating something in the middle of the road.
I looked out my window to check that the recycling bin was out and in the process made eye contact with a pair of foxes eating something in the middle of the road.
They both just stared at be for a second, then one ran off to places unknown down the left of the road.
And the other hung around continuing to eat whatever it was for a couple more minutes. Then it leisurely decided to stroll to the right down the road.
The weather has been rapidly getting colder here lately.
Truly summer has now long passed, and we march onwards to the inevitable winter.
I will no longer be forced to keep my window open just not to overheat.
In exchange I will have the problem of not being able to go the shop without preparing my coat.
Oh, what a hard life I must live.
If only I could be a citizen of a space station with continuous consistent weather systems.
Just played through the demo of Talos Principle 2.
Narratively, it seems like it’s going to be amazing, I am really excited now.
As for the puzzles……. I never want to do 3D tetris bridge builder again but other than that it’s perfect.
I was really apprehensive about how they would continue a story that felt like it achieved a definitive end but they did that flawlessly.
In related news… Forever Skies just put itself into a bundle with Planet Crafter which made its current discount an even bigger discount and now I am questioning how much I am willing to spend on games this month.
Originally I was going to get Talos 2 and the new Eurotruck region…
But now I might get Forever Skies and Talos 2…. and maybe the new Eurotruck region.
