And I’m too clever, and then I’m too fucking dumb

Posted on by Shawshank

I’m awake. I’ve been mostly awake since about 5. Podrick was playing this morning, and at one point, I had to go to the bathroom, and had to move his brick back out of the bathroom, and back to the laundry area. It’s just the timend year where sometimes it’s just chilly. Even with snuggly blankets.

He was just active this morning with his soda cap. Right out in front of the closed bedroom door. I opened the door, blindly felt for the cap, and closed the door again. Good times lol.

Back to work this afternoon. I think it’s gonna be a pretty good day today. The sun is shining, and doesn’t seem too breezy out there. 2 shifts and the weekend is mine! Viva la weekend!

Lockup Library: Persona 5: The Phantom X

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s been a pretty good, relaxing Canada Day. We didn’t do much more than try to wrangle Podrick from being a complete ass to Pippin. But after he fell asleep passed out, I figured it was time to try Persona 5: The Phantom X. Because if it’s like Persona 5, you just can’t stop when you want and log out. No, you can leave when the game tells you that you can.

I’m really enjoying it. There’s some call backs to persona 5, but it stands entirely on its own. Yeah, it’s a gacha game, but from what I’ve read, you don’t need to actually pay to play. We’ll find out. The highest price I’ve seen for something in game, was $24.49. But I just went to look again, and it’s higher than that.

But, so far so good. I’m enjoying myself!

The collection grows

Just a quick note. I just finished putting together the LEGO Cullen house from Twilight. I enjoyed putting it together. For those of you new here, I like the Twilight Saga. I have the books (multiple copies), movies, etc. Yes, I know the books and the movies aren’t the greatest in the world, but hey, ya gotta have hobbies, amirite?

It sits on top of the bookcase, because we have a kitten. I don’t want to give him any sort of thoughts that he could jump up and break it. Looking at where it’s placed, I’m pretty sure he can’t make it up. And he was sleeping while I put it up there. So I think we’re gonna be ok. I’ll be sure of that in the morning, if it’s still sitting there.

Persona 5 Royal review

Posted on by Shawshank

So last week or the week before, I beat another game. About a month or two earlier, Crystal was watching a SwitchUp video on YouTube, and they were talking about JRPGs, and mentioned that Persona 5 Royal had been released on the Switch for a while. And said if you have never played one of the best JRPGs ever, you should, and that it was on sale.

Spoiler Alert: it wasn’t, but Crystal found a work around to a place that did offer it for sale. So after it downloaded and I was at work, Crystal started playing, so she could experience the opening by herself without trying to ignore it while I was playing beside her.

I believe the next day I played it for the first time. Let me say this: this game is amazing. I found it to have a bit of a learning curve. So much so in fact, I’m really enjoying my 2nd play through more than the original play through.

This game has a mix of life sim, and turn based combat. It’s crazy how well they blend together. You have to learn how to balance “work” (combat and dungeons) to “home” (school, part time jobs, hanging out with friends). It’s a delicate balance that you have to find very quickly.

Almost immediately, after completing the game, I started a second play through. The game does reward you for playing again, which is new to me, but I like how they do it.

Spoiler alert: the last nine photos are end game, before the system stopped allowing me to take screenshots.

Lockup Library game score: 9/10

I really can’t stay baby, it’s cold outside

It was a tossy turny night last night. I just couldn’t really find a comfortable position. Then there was Chaucer singing as we were falling asleep. I’d like to hope that he eventually made it up on the bed. I don’t think it was up when I got up around 1ish to use the bathroom.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. It was a quiet night. We were expecting the Pepsi truck last night, but it never showed up. I’m sure that it’ll show up tonight either before or after the other truck that we’re expecting. Fun times.

I have Pippin snuggled up on my legs this morning. Chaucer has mountain climbed on to Crystal’s lap, so each kitty is very happy now. Pippin won’t be too happy when I get up in a couple minutes.

So yeah that’s the updates from north of the wall. Hopefully your Tuesday will be a great day, and time will move quickly.
