First loss today. Not that I’m competitive with myself, but it hurts.

I really didn’t want to like Rick and Morty and then it happened. It makes me a little sad that I’ve watched it through about 10 times.

So what’s everyone’s starting word? I’m tread guy. Then young if there’s no joy.

I’m on my last guess for today's and it just isn’t clicking. Is my ten game streak coming to an end? update:

Spiderman RE3 Doom Eternal

More Spiderman, though it’s vaguely disheartening to continually see things added to my map that I’ll never bother with. It definitely feels like the kind of game I would 100% at the age of 14 though. Hoping to play more tonight but I’ve got a fair bit of school work to plan, so it might be more of a tomorrow treat.

I have this lined up as a summer game, so expect that number to creep up by at least one this year.

I went with my wife and her family to Wales last July. We had a lovely time but about 3/4 of the way through, my daughter became unwell with a cold. We gave her medicine, but at about 6pm, she got so hot she had a febrile seizure. One of those things that are common, but really horrible for a parent. She stopped breathing, went blue and stayed that way for a while. Maybe 3 minutes or so. She came back around but wasn’t great, but thankfully, despite being in the middle of nowhere, we had an ambulance and paramedics not too far away (20 minutes or so). They arrived, took her heart rate, blood pressure and her temperature. She was 39.9C at the time and had probably crept higher. We had a thermometer and it had been coming out at about 38C, so we knew she wasn’t well but not that unwell. After it was checked, one paramedic, about 60 or so, looked at her and said ‘Aye, she was definitely cooking something off alright.’ I literally think about that every time my daughter is unwell, the whole night. Driving to the hospital in the dark, having a little cry to myself saying ‘she’s too good a girl to have anything bad happen to her’, waiting for maybe 7 hours to be seen for 5 minutes by a hospital so over capacity with accidents, Covid etc Then I also think of a part that really helped me, the same paramedic said, when I was with him outside the ambulance (my wife was inside with.my daughter), ‘I’ll be honest mate, it’s fucking awful but this is the worst part, when you can’t do anything, you can do things now, even just driving to the same place they are.’ I always think about both of those moments. I’m writing this because my daughter isn’t well, her temperature is high and I have a huge amount of worry that she may have a seizure again - even though my wife is with her, her temperature is lowered, they’re watching cartoons and I’ve not had a call. Sometimes you just need to let it out.

Once I’ve finished Perfect Dark, I’ll go back and finish GoldenEye I think. It feels wrong that I’m 32, owned both games for a long time, but never actually finished either.

On book three - this is the post Hobbit fantasy I need in my life at the moment.

I mean, following the article, I think more people have seen his penis than currently have Covid.

Played some more and completed the first dungeon. As a console game, I had little time for SS, but as a handheld game, it’s pretty awesome.

I stopped smoking in…2014, at least smoking properly. I’m glad that I stopped but I do miss the halcyon days of being 16, staying up late and smoking in my parents garden listening to music.

At my in-laws until tomorrow so I ended up playing 25 minutes of skyward sword hd. I do wonder, if Nintendo ever do another ‘traditional’ Zelda, I’d they’ll forgo the slow burn openings and try to make the first hour a hook for the game. Start in a war for hyrule sort of situation.

5.4 miles included a warm down walk at the end. Had my old trainers though and it felt like I was running barefoot at the start.

Up at 4.30am as daughter decided she wanted to wake up then. Took her downstairs to play and eat breakfast then at about 7:45am we went back to bed for a snooze until 10am ish.

I don’t know. Konami haven’t started to re-build their gaming division and remakes of fondly remember games is a great way to generate easy income.

Can’t get a PCR test in England at the moment. Great time for this to happen with New Years tomorrow, no restrictions in place and a load of Welsh and Scottish people are flocking to England to go out out.

At my in-laws so using my phone so like the rest of the world, tried out Wordle. Got the answer on the fourth go.

More Spiderman. I could quite happily play it for about 10 hours straight, it’s hooked me in the right way. Sadly, with life, I have more like…30 minutes a day. Resident Evil 3 (remake) and Doom Eternal both turned up today, so I’m set for a while with games. Not to mention, I have Skyward Sword HD to play and cash in the bank to get Metroid Dread at some point.

Only when I was younger. Most heartbreaking, a Pokemon dream.

Don’t look up: 9/10 Loved it and the message behind it. The premise was interesting and it all worked for me.

PS4 (base). Looked and played well - definitely worth the 15 hours I spent with it.

Spoke to my sister about running and now we’ve decided to have a go at a half marathon in May. Just did my first training run (a very relaxed 5 mile run) which felt easy. Tomorrow is supposed to be a three mile run, so I may add in some speed work to see if I can increase my pace at all (I’m terrible for running further but never faster). Only downside is. I wife bought me some new running shoes for Christmas and it’s rubbed the top of my heel, so I may have to use them for strength sessions and get some other new ones for running.

No Time to Die: 9/10 loved it, can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
