We're still getting everything back to working order after yesterday's mishap. Our simulpub finally came in this morning and it had to have taken at least half an hour to get to a point where we could actually work on it, what with setting up a word processor and everything, sheesh. But we did manage to get things working, and we even finished early! So we had plenty of time to relax in the afternoon.
We finally unlocked the camera feature in Breath of the Wild, which is making us like the game a little more. Before, as we were wandering around the absurdly enormous world, we would run into these beautiful animals, and we just wanted to do something to make the encounter meaningful somehow, but all we could do was kill it and take its meat. We're not vegetarians, but we don't like having to kill the animals ourselves, even if they are digital. (Dairy and eggs are awesome.) But now we can take pictures of the animals instead, and that's much much better.
So now we're down to just three things we don't like about the game. 1)The lack of adventure music. 2)The fact that the weapons just keep breaking and breaking and breaking. I get that things don't last forever in real life, but this is a video game. It's fantasy. Just let me upgrade my weapon when the badguys get stronger, and I'm happy. And 3)the world is so ridiculously huge that it takes forever to get anywhere, and you need to have at the very very least an hour to play if you want to accomplish anything meaningful. ...I could be wrong about that--depending on your gameplay style, it might vary. Like the shrines don't really take that long.
So yeah. We've seen a fair amount of excitement over the release of Tears of the Kingdom, and here we are, still working our way ever so slowly through Breath of the Wild. ...And then we decided we'd rather watch more Ultraman, so we did that instead! We've now seen three episodes!
We also just did all the FF7 Remake tracks in Theatrhythm, and the amazing new arrangements make us think maybe we should go play that instead...
Today I'm thankful for managing to get to a point where we could start working, finishing work early regardless of how long it took us to get started, Azlan helping us catch a Chesnaught, having our own Florges ready to help other people in Tera Raids, and not having to wake up early tomorrow.
