Had an interview Friday. It went really well, I think, and it seems like a good place to work. However, I have a couple of things holding me back: 1. It's a consultancy which means that there is no limit to how much they work. On paper, they are flexible and try to average the working hours out (in Denmark, we have 37 hours a week in general) but in reality, this is often like "You work till you're done" which is far more than the normal working hours. This is not so nice when you have a family, I think. 2. I don't think the work will be much different from what I do now. The main difference is that it's much newer and more modern. Their idea is that I will go work at a place who has bought the product (SaaS) and has to customize it to fit the needs at that place. This is a place which is very similar to my current workplace so yeah, I will probably just do the same kind of work. I'm not sure if that is what I want... but the newer tools, practices and platforms do tempt me. I think the problem is that I don't know exactly what I want and thus I don't know if I can get it at the place I'm currently working.

After giving birth to a son with a genetic disease, my wife and I was encouraged to talk to a gene specialist to talk about how the the genes are inherited. It seems that I have the disease as well but it's not active for some reason. Therefore, I didn't know that I had it. This means that there is a 50 % chance that our next children will have the disease which is a bit much. The disease is not bad enough to warrant abortion but it's bad enough to possibly influence the life of the holder if it's active. So that sucks. It is possible to get artificial insemination, though, where the cells that have the gene are removed which should lower the risk significantly, but it's still a bit of a bummer all in all.

Also physical for Europe? Looks really good.

Entered Chapter 9 yesterday evening. From my gatherings, that should be a pretty short chapter.

Surprise! From NintendoEverything.

I have seen no such blade at all. Mostly 2 star, a few 3 star, and then the Rare Blades. So they are still too rare for what their purpose is. I'd rather you could buy them or trade them, though it's okay if they are expensive.

Yeah, especially since the blades are random - I have so many ATK-blades attached to Nia and only a single HLR - I used an overdrive protocol to transfer Ursula to her but that shouldn't really be so rare.

My point is that this may have been their intention and not just an emergency solution in order to get the game out in 2017 as promised - if they have a unique side-quest that is. If not, then I agree fully that this was just a way to get it out fast.

Don't almost all blades have a unique side-quest, though?

I agree. As we've seen with Kav, it just leads to a frustrating time trying to get the last ones. Something like this shouldn't be that much down to pure, real-world luck.

The soundtrack is available on Spotify now.

Agreed, it was a good chapter, really good. I don't know if they can surpass it later on.

Started Chapter 8 yesterday. Felt like I needed to rush chapter 7 because it severely hurt my chances of clearing side-quests.

It's available at Amazon Germany: https://www.amazon.de/Radiant-Historia-Perfect-Chronology-Nintendo/dp/B076QF6VNS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519112563&sr=8-1&keywords=radiant+historia+perfect+chronology Don't know if that's good enough but it's the only place I've found it - not that I'm buying it, but in Denmark, it's not available anywhere so I checked availability yesterday.

Wait, do we even get the physical edition to begin with? Capcom have previously left out Europe when releasing physical games.

Not weird at all. You get a very nice handkerchief. Or cleaning cloth or whatever. That totally makes it up for the price difference. Totally.

Yeah. I'm a fan. It looks good.

Once an olympic bar has 200 kg loaded, you'll find it hard to get room for more weight, though. Also, at 200 kg they are bending - I've seen it. It's not a permanent bend, though. I went for a run yesterday. Ended up doing 5.54 km in 23:51 (5k at 21:34)- not a bad time but still quite far from my personal best. I think that once spring hits, I will be running more. I've also been considered going for the home gym option - I don't lift more than 100 kg very often so should be fine with doing lighter weights and more reps. Problem is, though, that my flat has very soft floor so I'm afraid to leave permanent marks on the floor. It's also very warm in the summer and on the second floor so I'll not be so inclined to take out the weights.

I'm playing mostly in handheld but I haven't noticed any improvements - however, I don't think it was so bad to begin with, a few framerate drops when things get hectic but nothing major or game breaking. Nothing you'll notice once you've started playing for real at least.

Succeeded the fight this morning by changing my party a bit. Now I've progressed the story in Chapter 7 and all is good. Just had a wonderful twist to the story and characters, and saw a nice cutscene.

I'm constantly stopped in my Blade side-quests because the final enemy of the side-quest is too hard, even though I should be overleveled. It's just a bit frustrating, that's all. Having side-quests that I can't complete because of the final bit being too difficult at the moment.

New videos show a lot of the games themselves:

Finished chapter 6 yesterday. The final fight there was too easy, was way overlevelled. Guess I should stop doing side-quests and level up at inns for at while... Chapter 7 is going to be interesting.

Just got two or three Rare Blades yesterday - one or two from a Rare Core Crystal and one from a Common. I don't know how many I've got now. I think I'm nearing the end of Chapter 6 now. I think I'm overlevelled but I have done a lot of side-qeusts and did sleep at an inn to get the Bonus Exp. In other news, version 1.3.0 is coming next week:
