Day 117: tickled
I have just spent ten minutes giggling helplessly, because of this, which takes to its logical conclusion the mash-up of the dungeon crawl and dating sim video game genres, to create one where you... date your weapons. Get your sword to fall in love with you in order to improve its abilities. Said swords being represented by suitably over-the-top swoony avatars with magical-girl special effects featuring roses, apparently. I had to do a quick calendar check just in case it was April 1st. I can't work out if I'm actually going to acquire it when it finally releases, just to see if it's as exquisitely ridiculous as it sounds, or if I'll be giggling too hard to click "purchase". I probably will acquire it, if only because it may stave off for a bit longer the inevitable moment when I cave and procure a Switch, and hence Zelda.
The horrors of lockdown and COVID are currently being complicated by the usual Eskom shenanigans, which means we've had load shedding for the last week or so. This means, among other things, that I need to fill up all my gas bottles, supposing the local hardware store actually has any gas, which means I will need to venture out of the house for the first time in a week and thereby resolve the indeterminate Schrodinger state of the car battery - flat or not? will the car start or won't it? My otherwise much-loved Beast lurks in the driveway with surprising threat when I haven't left the house for a while, I'm almost too afraid to climb in and turn the key, because it all becomes so complicated if it won't start. But I suppose I should buckle to and try. Under current circumstances, this is really a very First World Problem, people are dying out there. *flings self to Total Perspective Vortex in penance*.
