Cheers. Just spoiler-box stuff for each episode and I'll be happy.

No worries. I get to watch the first episode of HDM season 2 tonight (we're a little behind you guys, it seems). Looking forward to it!

Yes. I'm happy that it isn't getting one.

A Facebook friend of mine did the same, just for a year. +1 burpee every day through the year, starting from 1 naturally. That's insane. Nothing short. Doing 365 burpees would take most people up 45 minutes, I reckon. And just the thought of doing 364 just to know that you have to do 365 the day after. Or even 300 and the 301... Geez.

Ah, System of a Down. Been a while since I've listened to anything from them. I've recently discovered Swedish Eyes Wide Open which I find quite nice to listen to! The video here is a bit meh but it sounds good.

ABZU is 90 % off on the eShop until November 19th.

Finished Watchmen yesterday. That was a good show and I'm happy that a second season isn't on the way - I don't feel that I need it. The overall plot was good and enjoyable and even though I have read Watchmen, it's been 8 or so years so I don't remember that much from it. Still didn't feel lost, though I had to look up a few things. Easily recommended.

Cheers, didn't know about that. Hopefully that will come in Season 3 then.

As far as I know, this was actually shot before the Corona outbreak. Season 1 and 2 were shot back to back so that Lyra wouldn't age between them. The Amber Spyglass hasn't begun filming yet, as Lyra is supposed to be about 16 in that book. I've started watching Watchmen. Really good stuff, four episodes in.

I'll miss his outrageous and crazy remarks. News won't be the same. I do hope and expect the media to completely ignore Trump going forward, giving him no time at all. It'll be interesting to see how things go down the next weeks for sure.

I'm getting to the end of season 3 now, only four episodes left. At this point I find it hard to imagine how they are going to wrap everything up. Looking forward to wrapping it up. I just wish I had seen everything a bit more condensed as I have forgotten stuff between each viewing. So a fair warning to everyone wanting to see this: Don't take breaks from it!

Good point. Would be fun to try Wii Sports Resort with me 3 year old. He should be able to pick it up but not play things properly. We recently played Starlink on Switch, he really enjoyed flying with the Arwing in space. He also plays MK8Dx with steering assist, auto-accelerate and motion controls. He actually does well there, got a 3rd place on a course, 50cc.

I figured you knew the normal price for it and was able to calculate it. £17.99 is the sale price.

Tried the demo yesterday - it was longer than I anticipated. It ran smoothly enough with only a single really noticeable framedrop but nothing serious. I like the setting and the story, it was nice to be back in Hyrule again. I didn't enjoy the gameplay that much, but they had done a great job with implementing features from BotW, even though I didn't really find the controls that intuitive and having all those attacks available on different combinations of button presses led to several mistakes from my end. I doubt I'll get the game, though, unless I find it for cheap somewhere. I still think it's too much button mashing to be really enjoyable in the long run (played on Normal and yes, there seems to be some strategy that could be utilized on Hard). Might just read the story or watch the cutscenes on Youtube at some point.

Just tried it - got to the end of the Astral Plane (rings a bell.... what is it... Astral Chain? ). I couldn't find the price for the access pass, though, until I actually played the game. Is that just me? Anyways. I'm impressed. I went for the Enhanced Performance-part and it ran fluently and looked good. I found the shooting a bit wonky but I'm unsure if that's just the game helping me out with my terrible aim or if there is something about the streaming here but either way, killed the enemies and moved on. Intriguing setting, I'm a bit curious and might buy the access pass. However, I don't like this route, at least with digital games, I can always just keep my console but with streaming, the servers can shut down permanently, rendering my purchase useless.

I didn't think we'd get one this month as it came out rather late, but it being the last this year makes sense. Guess it's a general Direct in January then! These partner directs started out weak and indifferent but the past two have been rather good with some great announcements and surprises. I like these shorter Directs for news sharing, though the longer ones announced beforehand are nice for hype.

I've heard good things about the game so I'm thrilled to see it on Switch, though I'm a bit sceptical about it being streamed. Will try it out for sure before I consider buying it.

DOMS: Actually, not that bad. Heavy squats make my legs a bit more tired the day after and funnily enough, it's only my inner thigh muscles (on women they are called the "no" muscles...) that are really sore. Today I have planned interval rowing. 500 meters, 8 times, 1 minute rest between. That always kills me. Not really motivated due to a long morning where my son was just like "no" all the time and didn't want to go to the toilet, didn't want to dress, didn't want to go to child care, etc. Edit: Done with rowing. Now I feel tired and dead, even though my performance wasn't quite what it normally is. Today my pace was going from 1:36 til 1:40. Last time I did it it was 1:34-1:41, and before that I even got to 1:32-1:40. I'll use the squats yesterday to excuse my performance today.

Indeed. The last few reps are painful. Not today... but tomorrow. And the day after that.

Didn't really buy this as I got it from work but still, new gear! (But then I had to buy my old OnePlus 6 to be able to keep it so I guess that counts?)

Apparently, I just set a new record in backsquat today. 10 reps of 75 kg, never done that before. I was a bit surprised but I think it's more due to me moving on to 8, 6 or 4 reps before going for higher weight at 10 reps. I'm mostly doing 10 reps at the moment because I don't squat so often (most likely just once a week) and therefore don't think I'll be able to increase the weight so much.

Ouch, yeah. In handheld, that would be completely covering the screen. Clearly not though through.

It's a good game if you enjoy RPGs like Pokémon and Tales of ..-games. The story is really good and the cutscenes are spectacular. Feels like playing an anime. It should also last you 40+ hours.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. It looks like a cool take on the rougelike genre and being turnbased means that it's not about being quick on the reflexes and that you can put it down for a moment to have a sip of coffee while playing. Important QoL in games. Although I think Hades might have to be my next rougelike..
