  • Started my first playthrough of Sekiro and it’s really hard. I’m slowly embracing the playstyle, but I have so many habits to break from the other Souls games. I like it, but I don’t think I’ll be up for NG+ if I ever finish the NG run.

    Also started playing Sable and I really like it so far. It kind of feels like an open world Zelda type of game without combat. It’s quite relaxing, and the art style is absolutely beautiful.



  • Raw celery. Most people seem to say it has no flavour. To me it smells and tastes similar to vodka and makes me sick to even think about. It’s also kinda squeaky on the teeth which is unacceptable. Cooked in a soup or whatever is fine.

    Cabbage rolls. Specifically that combination of ingredients has made me sick by smelling it in the past, though it’s not as bad now as an adult, and they do taste good. Cooked/boiled cabbage in any other context never bothered me.

    Pickled onions. I love onions and can eat them raw, but I couldn’t even finish one mini pickled one due to the resemblance to stomach acid, taste and smell.





  • What is this weird feeling that I’m feeling?

    Appreciation, maybe? There were books before the internet, but I think it’s no contest that the internet is the best resource for information that has ever existed. Pre-internet people didn’t have FOMO because they didn’t know what was coming.

    FWIW I don’t think it’s weird at all to feel that way. I grew up when the internet became accessible to everyone, and I would not want to go back to before then despite the new problems it poses.



  • Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it’s hard to see much of a future - there isn’t one here for me. It’s unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I’m paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I’m out this summer.





  • I appreciate that they wanted to make it better, but honestly I don’t think most of the enhancements are what was “wrong” with the game (a map is very welcome, though). And they added another currency?

    I wanted to like the original more than I did, and I’m ok with it staying in my memory as a 6/10. Probably won’t buy the full version, but might try the demo just to see. Would have rather seen a new game from them instead.
