Tomorrow etc was a nice enough book, I’m glad it didn’t end on a cliche - though a lot of the gaming references felt a bit forced. Now back to a Dawkins book and also a story called My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece- which is listed as a children’s book, but definitely is not a children’s book. 

Fair few people here need to ask their under 6’s to watch Hey Duggee. 

If the brief was to make a shit animal crossing knock off from 2002, they nailed it.

There’s a chance we may be moving in the next 6 months and with any excess cash, one thing I want is a pizza oven and nah e a decent ish BBQ.

Pikmin 4 and then, because it was staring at me from my Switch, Majora’s Mask. 
 

I need to do some painting and DIY later on, so I may dip in a bit more if I’m not shattered from it.

Just wanted to do a weekend getaway and I haven’t been here since 2000. Visiting family tomorrow who I haven’t seen in years and years and hopefully going to a Braves game Sunday if the rain clears out that evening. 
 

 

Ready for my big trip to the UK in September, but this will tide me over until then. 
 

Also, 7am flights are a bitch. 

I'm sure you’ve said this - but where in the UK are you going to visit? 

Showing her this trailer was probably the most I’ve ever satisfied my wife.

She's a massive fan of the first game. 

I think this may end up being my summer PS5 game. At last…

It’s such a busy medium and games take such a big investment that I literally can’t keep up with new releases. I think the last time I managed was the GC/PS2/Xbox era when I both worked and had money, but also vaguely had infinite free time.

I need to dig into the Wolfenstein games 

Just looked at how much value my house has potentially accrued and, if we get some work finished off, and the market holds, the Zoopla estimate puts it at about £25,000 - £30,000 more, which is ridiculous.

This attack feels very "going through the motions"

News I was watching this morning said Iran has said this was their retaliation and plan on nothing more. 

There’s a lot to unpack in this thread.

I scoped out how much the sellers of my current house bought for, they made a profit of about £400,000 on the sale to me

Dunkin makes good donuts. They were a staple at my office breakfast almost every day and they are bangin. 

What kind of country has actual donuts at breakfast time as an ‘every day’ thing

Mix in some throwing up and general ‘bad guys’ it’s been an interesting one today. I did take my daughter swimming and after three weeks of only eating maybe 10 of those days, I’m looking quite trim which is nice. 

Back to square one last two days. Return of the headache, body/joint pain, had (according to my wife) three, hour long naps today and similar yesterday. Have a suspicion it might be tied in with a food intolerance (leading contender is gluten) but at least no strep this time 👍 

I feel guilty as I’ve still not bought the remake despite really liking DS1 and 2. 

I’ve just read Taste by Stanley Tucci which was lovely and now onto Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow 

Talk to Me - an actually not shit ‘horror’ film with just a few ridiculous moments.

Barbie - I wasn’t feeling the opening third, came together much more on the back end. It also had bits about parents and children and nearly cried. 

I bought Pikmin 4 today. I’ve had a strange relationship with the series. I love the premise, but the gameplay has never really matched up with what I hoped. This apparently streamlines and irons out the issues with 3, keeping the overall charm. Either way, it’s been a classic slow start, but I can see the systems in place that are coming and I’m liking it. I just hope I get a way of returning Pikmin to me after doing a job without having to literally go and collect them.

I was out and about today and picked up World of Hitman and Pikmin 4. I might have a Quick Look at the eshop sale and see if anything grabs me…namely whether I actually want FF9 and FF6 on my Switch.

Unless I go to a particular shop, I can’t even really find them anymore. I’m now an old man, newspaper buyer

More Zelda, I’ve started to get the Fierce Diety Set, which I’ll upgrade to level 2. Then, using a guide as I don’t care at this point, I’ll get myself a load of Shrines and upgrades and think about the end game. 

Now Pokemon is done, I’ve got a gulf in my life so I’ve dipped back into Tears of the Kingdom. I’ve just got the Master Sword and now have the vaguely overwhelming task of getting suitable armour, weapons, stats, meals, general upgrades to be ready for the endgame. 
 

I think I’ll buy something a bit more streamlined tomorrow that I can play over the Easter holidays - I keep returning back to Mario RPG and Bayonetta 3 (which I still haven’t grabbed) so maybe I’ll get them tomorrow.
