Night Falls Fast
Nov. 23rd, 2022 07:58 amI conked out early last night. I'm enjoying getting some extra sleep, and the time change is messing with me, because it's so dark out early, it feels like bedtime. I ended up not running yesterday, but today I plan on wrapping my toes and heading out for a three-miler. I ordered some silicone toe caps, but they won't be here until Saturday or Sunday, because apparently there's a holiday this week or something.
I finished playing Axiom Verge 2 - well, I finished the main story. You can re-open your saved game and start from the shrine right before the final boss, and then go back to clean up collectibles and such. I apparently managed to finish with less than half the weapons and upgrades, LOL. I enjoyed the first game Thomas Happ made, and was really looking forward to this one, too, and it didn't disappoint me. My only complaint is that while I enjoy exploring and poking around, some of the exploration mechanics can make it difficult for me to figure out where I am. This game features the ability to leave the Breach at any point, and in some places you have to enter, leave, and re-enter the Breach to get to places in the Overworld, and I'm just left sitting there wondering where the hell I am. Yes, I can see the map, and no, it's not helping. XD
I picked up Little Nightmares 2, and a DLC bundle for the first game, which I plan to go back and finish next. I got a little stuck because I was achievement hunting, and replayed "The Kitchen" so I could get "Kitchen Hand." With the extra DLC areas available to me, I'm looking forward to playing again. I also need to finish up Bendy and the Ink Machine, but I'm very stuck on the last boss. Like, seriously stuck. I've watched numerous videos of people beating this thing, but I can't seem to get more than two hits in. It's one where I'm going to just have to embrace the grind and play every night until I get it.
I'm also in the middle of Okami and Transistor, both of which are really good, but they're so involved, I can't really split playing them with other games. I can go play Hades for an hour, and then come back to it a week later and just pick it up again. Okami requires more sustained focus, for me anyway.
My neighbors are having Jamie's mom over this week, and I got to meet her yesterday. I also got to watch the littlest child have a meltdown because he wanted to hold a brown beetle one of his sisters found. I also had to suppress the urge to be "that person" and tell them how they could make a little terrarium for the beetle and so keep it indoors as a pet. This is coming from someone who routinely kept roly-polies as pets, along with crickets and caterpillars.
Finally - and this is very important - there is a Red-Bellied Woodpecker at my feeder.
