    I'm (still) playing this, just started working towards ending C. I get the praise for the game, I do, but I do find it a tad... boring to play? The world is bland, the combat is a bit dull (I know, I might not have explored it thoroughly as I play on Normal), and while the story seems interesting, I think it has been dragged too far out with me having to play the same game twice to uncover the true story. I get it, it's a way only games would be able to tell a story but I think the revelations in 9S' story were... too weak.

    I will finish it, though, as I am curious as to what the heck is going on.

    I've started my paternity leave now and I'm spending the time my daughter sleeps in the morning with weight lifting and exercising. She sleeps for about an hour from 8.30 to 9.30 so it fits perfectly. My wife is home as well so every other day we do a WOD together, and the other days I lift weights, mainly focusing on squats and legs in general as I find that more useful (and I don't have a bench for bench press).

    Doing squats 4*8 @ 75 kg. I need some smaller plates as I can only go up to 85 kg from here (which I tried a single rep of, and it went fine!).

    Then I do some auxiliary movements - push-ups with weights, overhead lunges, single leg squats (just bodyweight though) and other stuff.

    I'm really enjoying this routine.

    I don't know, I the Deku Tree isn't that interesting to me but I probably can't withstand the temptation once it's revealed. And if the rumour is true, we get some great mini figures with it...

    Yesterday I got some 20 kg bumper plates (used but in good shape) so finally I can get some proper weight lifting done. I now have a total of 95 kg which is enough for most lifts.

    Tried it out just now. I haven't lifted more than 60 kg in more than 2 years so was a bit nervous but did 4*7 back squats at 75 kg with nice form, then did 3*10 Deadlift at 75 kg and then 1*5 at 95 kg. That last one wad great but I'm not looking forward to the DOMS tomorrow. :D

    On another note, I am having some pain in my knee, the outside of it to be specific. It's referred to as the LCL and might stem from biking (2*20 minutes a day in high speed) bit as Ove been biking most days for years it's a bit weird that it suddenly comes now. Might have to see a physician about it.

    I bought this for my son a while ago when it was cheap. He hasn't really played it as he prefers the franchise Lego games like Marvel and Ninjago but I have tried to convince him that this could be fun too. Might even want to play it myself of I had the time.

    No new trailer for Silksong is too bad, I wouldn't have counted on a shadow drop but at least show us a bit from the game again. It's been ages since we last saw something. 

    Haven't watched the show yet but it seems like there was a few games that might spark my interest. Now if only I had the time for games...

    Finally found all shrines and I at long last went on to find Ganondorf yesterday. 

    Spoiler

    But I had to reload an earlier save because he only deals gloom damage, and I had zero sunny meals. Come on... That wasnt fair. 

    I got him to second form but I find it very hard to avoid (and flurry rush) his attacks. 

    Will try again tonight. Now with better preparation.

    We are slowly progressing the live action show. It feels very shallow and basic most of the time with some cringe worthy dialogue at times, which makes us laugh. The animation when flying is totally off, but the actual bending looks nice. 

    The world and story seem interesting, though.

    I also wondered why the Fire Nation went to kill all airbenders. Wouldn't the Avatar just emerge as the next elemental type, if Aang was killed then?

    Ae, shit. A friend of my wife was diagnosed with cancer in the colon three years ago. She was treated and healed but suddenly it has reappeared. In the brain. There is no treatment, and she has about 6 to 10 months left. She's 37-38 and has two children, 6 and 3 years old. Life is really cruel. 

    I know her a little but she is mostly my wife's friend, but it's hard to see my wife so understandably sad. She's collecting stuff now to make a gift basket with all kinds of good stuff but there is really nothing you can give or do that numbs the pain, I guess.

    My son just played it, I watched while working on my computer (and helped him beat the demo's boss). The performance is... really rough when coming out from the level he played at least. Ouch, it was hard watching. Haven't seen how the actual gameplay in the level runs, though.

    The sound is also quite... off. The jumping sound is terrible, sounds kind of flat, and is too loud... and the voices. Ugh. Not a fan.

    Watched the first episode the other day, and I have never seen the animated show (shame on me, I know). It was alright, seems a bit basic and kliché but had fun watching it. Animations seemed cheap at times, though.

    And what's up with their clothes - why wasn't Aang freezing in the ice and Sokka sweating later? Hopefully they change into something more appropriate later on.
