Oh my goodness, we just finished Hogwarts Legacy and there is literally about half an hour of credits (we know, because our screen would go dim every five minutes). And about ten minutes of those credits is software licensing agreements. Athena says: I don't know the rules of credits writing, but that seems like it shouldn't be allowed. What I'm ( Read more... )

This morning on the way to the temple, our friend from church commented on how she used to be critical like her mom, but then she realized you're much happier in life if you just learn to appreciate the good things. I definitely agree with this sentiment, but I can be very weak in that arena, as was demonstrated just this evening when we were ( Read more... )

I thought about starting this post by saying I think I'm genuinely out of things to say about Miraculous, but we all know that's not true. In fact, off the top of my head, I could say something about Nathalie's tablet(s), but I don't really want to go into it right now...mostly because it's just a little thing (although, depending on certain ( Read more... )

Today we were planning to take another day off to do productive things that are not our paying job, like organize our apartment and stuff. But we woke up to an email from one of our project managers saying, "Hey, remember that thing you said you'd turn in on Monday? It's not turned in."

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Our work situation is such that we didn't have to work today, and we're pretty sure we won't suffer dire consequences as a result! So that was pretty exciting.

This week has been very kind to us as far as giving us time to play video games. It really did not take long for Hogwarts Legacy to become a bit of an obsession, partly because the story did get off to a pretty strong start despite being total self-insert fanfic... I mean, the point of a video game like this is to insert yourself into the story, ( Read more... )

Since I finished writing up long reports of our Japan trip last night, we got a liiiiiittle bit carried away with the video games and now we're up late because we insisted on watching an episode of Miraculous anyway. See, the thing is, the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy came out...last week? Yes, last week. But we were so close to finishing ( Read more... )

I mentioned before that Mom and Steve are serving a mission in Japan right now. I think everyone's still working out what that means as far as connecting with family on a regular basis. For example, today Celeste started a text group with the two of us and Sarah because she was needing attention. After some discussion about how I should probably ( Read more... )
