EEVILMURRAY

I think I'm about 45ish. Maybe not even that.

I'm down to needing Umbreon, Togetic/kiss, Pichu, Wyrdeer and I think that's it. But with two of those needing happiness (I'm going to try that flying Togetic but those flying balls are a pain to use), and there are nosl side missions left, I'm not sure if I can be bothered. The game starts off slow, which is fine, builds up nicely but too quickly, plateau'ing way too soon so that by the end you've got a fair bit to do, but bugger all to do. I spent yesterday watching Deep Space Nine with the Switch undocked (a massive rarity) stood nearby with me periodically checking the map for a distortion so I could get the fossil dudes.

How exactly do you "investigate" these massive mass outbreaks? I'm trying to for a mission, I've caught batches, I've beaten the shit out of others, but it doesn't tick it off the list.

The missus needed some space to hang a wok and a pan, we don't really have anything available. So I bought some thick screws, had them come out either side of a cupboard, pow, handles for pans.

I'm starting to feel this more and more, the credits have rolled and all I'm stuck with are a small handful of missions, the majority of which are the "catch the rare Pokémon", I'm not entirely sure how the Weather Trio will appear in their respective areas during these storms, but I'll have a little fap about before I get bored and Google it. I spent the majority of yesterday sleeping on and off to get a full moon for the Clefairy mission, whilst trying to complete the Cherrim entry for another. It's amazing how many aren't in trees when you want them. In the end I just had to use agile tackles against a Luxray which shortly knocked me out + short trek to the camp = rinse and repeat. I don't know if I'll have the energy to complete the 'dex. I'm getting the sensation that it's more of a slog than walking in the wild grass and hoping for something rare to jump out. I'm not sure why they've gone with the anime trope of people whipping off their clothes to show their "true form", especially when they look fucking stupid and not even hinted (from memory) that they're anything other than what they were originally (Pokémon "Wielder"?! really?!). The only one who ever had that effect was Giovanni being the Viridian Gym Leader, and he didn't need a wardrobe change.

What's peoples' practices when doing the dex? Currently (just settled 2nd frenzied mon, 3 star) and trying to move away from the loyal members staying in my squad, rotating out to get missions done (Quilava exception) I'm trying to get multiple missions done simultaneously, for example my last shafting was using my Barboach to use Mud ball (or something) on Shinx's to take them out, do so with a ground move and using that move a number of times. But the thing that's dampening my flow is that I'm standing by the pastures, seeing in the den what move I'd like to use multiple times, then going into the pastures menu and seeing if that 'mon has that move, rinse and repeat. (Currently pimpsmacking Drifloons with Gastly's Astonish)

Never been a fan of the series to be honest. On my third attempt of a controller for le Banjo, the punk Sword and Shield Pro controller, it has better sensitivity for slow walking, but I'm starting Rusty Bucket Bay and I'm abusing those load states like a bitch in the engine room. I did start Phantasy Star IV, but sadly it got pushed to the wayside. I did start Breath of Fire, but when I learned it was what was ported to the GBA, which I have done previously, it was abandoned. I am fully aware of the irony here.

I've split mine with the wife and the in the laws, because they loved the Mega Drive shizzle. However I'm crossing my fingers they're playing it as much as I am so it doesn't feel like a total waste. Bollocks to Animal Crossing also.

I'm finding some lag in the room before Gobi's Desert with the revolving jump pad. Apart from that...

Did they change it for the online one? Can't say I noticed. But it does look like comic sans I will admit.

What font would you have preferred? Arial?! To be honest I never gave the font any thought in this game then, or now, it compliments the aesthetic perfectly.

Comic Sans is used to perfection here. I can't imagine a better font to use. I'm dying a fair bit, at least 3-4 tiimes, and I've just opened Freezeezy Peak (but not started) I've sorted Mumbo's Mountain/Trove Cove/Clanker* and two left to go in Bubblegloop, the inside croc one which I'll need the shoes for, and the one near Mumbos hut which the joycon enjoys being waaay too sensitive and I keep falling off. I can't wait for the 64 controller to be back in stock, this fapping around with the "C" buttons really grates, I keep getting the camera sides mixed up and when you're either trying to move the camera/shoot eggs it likes to fuck about. The wife got one of those wired Gamecube controllers awhile back, may hook that up and give it a try. *not all honeycomb pieces though

Few things I like to do... Nap - I generally have a coupla hours nap after work. Paint - having a nice Warhammer model that I can bend to my whim in any colour I like, really take your time on, make it as simple or as detailed as you like, spend time thinking about any embellishments/basing options. And if you make a mistake, can easily cover it up, or give it a methylated spirit bath and start over. By the end you have a nice display piece. If you continue with other models you can always return to older ones to add touch ups with new techniques you've picked up along the way. If you're not interested in starting an army it gives you bigger scope for what models you can choose as you're not constrained. Tis most therapeutic.

Season two has just started on E4 if any feels

Oh yes! I would also like to cut down on the beer, I don't think I could drink less properly, so might as well drink something more slimming

It's what I've been doing normally also, but the moment I feel like trying something new... get shafted. Got to last boss last night, failed spectacularly. This kinda shit is why I didn't bother fully completing Hollow Knight. I love the exploration and boss battles where things get thrown at you and you hit dat weak spot - but I really don't like this frantic split second timing sort of battles, where you always have to be doing something. It just gets exhausting and sucks the fun. So for the moment I'm going to go on a tour with the power bomb and get energy tanks, because I know I'm going to need them.

I got this for Christmas so am working through it naow. I have had to consult a walkthrough once on wondering where to go next (I missed noticing a door in a yellow room against the colour, so their fault, not mine) Not really feeling the "Dread", once you've sorted one EMMI you've solved them all (1-2 left, so may surprise me) but loving the Metroid essence. I've just unleashed those... things... and am currently exploring the plant place, I dropped down next to a door for the saves so looking forward to that. Did anyone else find the EMMI's lil bitches at times? One a few occasions when it's been coming towards me on the floor and I haven't been detected, I'd go stealth and hug the ceiling. Several times just as it comes my way it decides to crawl on the ceiling, leading to detection/penetration. The way they've done the other of items is most refreshing, especially the morph ball being later than expected, seeing all dem tiny tunnels teasing me. I want the super bombs naow dammit! I've already found 2 expansions which I can't utilise yet.

YES! I've not managed to properly do this for a few years in the past, but I remembered! Which was nice. So... what promises are you going to make to yourself that you may fail to fulfil!? I shall kick things off... Get back into the saxophone - I had to cancel my lessons a few years ago because I lost my job and never got properly back into the career game to keep up the investment. Now I know I'm in permanent employment, I've contacted my old sensei who originally seemed interested but has fallen off replying to me. So I may have to source another. Keep up with ze German - I'm learning German with Duolingo and it's going alright, maybe 2-3rd attempt at learning the language, but this app makes it more fun. Don't want to fall off and it be for nothing. Additional gains - I've been going to the gym once a week to do some a class on a Monday. I've recently been doing 2 on a Monday as they're one after the other and they're basically the same thing, so it's more reps etc. But I'd like to go a second day and maybe focus on some more machines and maybe some free weights, dependant on gym-bros hogging them all. Brush more - I know... I only brush once a day most of the time before bed, don't really do it in the morning because I don't have breakfast before I leave the house. I've got a brush/toothpaste in my drawer at work for when I get those uber feels, but it isn't consistent enough, and I can feel the gaps closing in my teeth. Get through painting backlog/buy less miniatures - I have too much to wade through and I keep buying more, so cleaning my decks of half painted stuff would be nice. GO!

Finished the second season of Dr Stone. I certainly recommend. Seeing a fair bit of love for Goblin Slayer I thought I'd give that a crack. It seemed it was going to go the way of a traditional fantasy-esque anime, got a few "bastards" and was expecting some "shit" to come later also.... Then came the goblin rape. Which was certainly a twist. I'm interested to see how dark this thing may go. Plus I've found the Funimation app is available from the eShop, so that's gone straight on the Switch and will mean quicker watching as I get lazy casting my phone to the TV

I had my booster end of October (plus flu jab), felt a bit shit, but not as bad as I did after my second jab, but decided to take time off work to recover.

REPORT. O_O

I've watched the first episode, tis how I imagined it, but going to wait for more episodes to drop before I dive in.

To the top naaaow

I called 999 on my neighbours last weekend, due to some horrendous screaming that came from next door. It awoke me from a nap after a Warhammer event which went on for a bit, you dismiss initially, thoughts ranging from "probably them playing a game" / "they've got the TV on a bit loud" / "Is this some weird sex shit?", which went on for about 5-10 minutes. It literally sounded like someone woman being raped (my wife thought it was a bloke with mental problems). The screams were that bad, along with some talking and some banging. I has recordings if anyone on the Facebook wants to hear it. Whilst I'm on the phone to the operator I nip into the spare room to see if I can hear anything better, and saw one of them sat in the garden outside. Police came about 5-10 mins later, the screams still going. I spy them chatting outside with one of the neighbours, and they went in. The screams are still going, but slowly decreasing in intensity and frequency. About 30 mins later an ambulance shows up, and they bring out this chap, who was jerking a bit and they took him away and police left too. No explanation from the residents. I call the landlord just to check if there was any mental problems with his residents (new group of students this year) and sent him clips of the sounds. Later that day we got a handwritten letter from them mentioning one of them had has a seizure, and they had called an ambulance* but the police got there first. Now, as someone who has epilepsy for the better part of 20 years, I know what one is like and my wife knows what I do when I black out. This wasn't it. For general seizure action, you may scream at the beginning and then go into shaky mode and chill**. Not scream in terror for 45 or so minutes. So the theory is some form of drug induced hallucination or something similar. I'm glad the dude is OK, but not something I wanna repeat. I sure as shit don't regret calling 999. * which I don't really believe as if a 999 operator heard those screams would an ambulance take nearly an hour to show up **variations apply, but none I could see have this effect.

Now get yo' ass some Outlaw Star, similar principle, but better in every way with exception of the music.
