I've just finished The Mercy of Gods by James S. A. Corey. I've seen mixed reviews on this. It seems like people who didn't like it maybe didn't jive with the themes of the book, or just didn't pick up on them. I loved it, and hope in the following books they build on these themes.

The DOGE monkeys finding out that US money goes towards influencing foreign elections, courts, and governments to be more fabourable to US interests and being outraged is hilarious. Yes, you are part of an empire that uses its money, power, and force to maintain and grow each. This is basic stuff.

I've been dipping in and out of retro games for a while. Using RetroArch on my phone or PC. But since I got the Anbernic RG35XXSP for Christmas, I've been more serious about looking into games I'll want to play. There's so many games and series that I never ever played, but wanted to!

I cannot wait to play Kingdom Come 2. Loved the first one soooo much. Despite the jank and numerous issues.

Oh no, some wealthy Americans are losing their expensive homes.

Where should I start with Author & Punisher?

First Lord Soul acquired! Bed of Chaos is done.

Got Sunlight Maggot and beat the Demon Fire Sage. Bit cheap just reusing a boss like that again but ok. Looked at the Centipede Demon, and the whole arena is lava, no thanks lads.

Kids awake, so I have to stop playing Dark Souls, haha I've given 30 humanity to the Daughter of Chaos and opened the path to Lost Izalith, and I've killed Ceaseless Discharge. I forgot I hadn't killed the Hydra and freed Dusk of Oolacile, so I did that in this run, too.

Ran about the Duke's Archives for a bit but decided to upgrade my equipment, so I went on a bit of an adventure to grind. The Painted World was fun!

Also, I got a new xbox controller for my birthday 😊 First thing I did was boot up Dark Souls and beat the boss I was stuck on haha

25hrs into Dark Souls, and I've just beat Ornstein & Smough for the first time ever.

Dark Souls update. I'm not the furthest I've ever been in the game. I'm 23hrs in. I'm at the boss fog for O&S. I've gone human with my last humanity and only really have time today for one run at this boss. I'll have Solaire to help.

20hrs in to Dark Souls (for the 3rd time). Almost to the top of Sen's Fortress. Even though I know how to do it all, it still gets me repeatedly. It's the swinging axes towards the top that are fucking me up even more frustrating because I know there is an elevator near that skips all this!

I've been considering giving up dairy for a while. But cheese is gonna be hard to top.

17hrs. I decided to level Dex instead of my Vig or End so that I can finally weild the Black Knight Sword. Ok, so it's far too slow to actually use except in a boss fight where you have the time to wind it up. But it's very funny. That took an hour. I absolutely should have just levelled Vig haha

Actually, I'm gonna do a bit of grinding first. My endurance and vigour are faaaar too low and I can't be a tanky cleric without the tanky part.

I've had many abortive Dark Souls playthroughs. Only quit my last one because my laptop died and I can't afford a new one. So, 16hrs in on Xbone, I've beat: Asylum Demon Stray Demon Taurus Demon Bell Gargoyle Capra Demon Chaos Witch Quelaag Moonlight Butterfly Pinwheel

Wow, Hellfest really fell off.

I don't think I like this new Opeth. Gonna go listen to Ghost Reveries instead.

Recording new War Within songs today

I've tried to give The Work by Rivers of Nihil another try. I honestly still don't know what they were trying to do.

Me, on the ouija board: Yeah, dude, everyone has read your diary. It's available in bookstores all around the world. Marcus Aurelius: ah fuck

This means something different in Scotland

On the last unit of section 2 for Gaelic in Duolingo. Need to get back to my textbook study, but this is good progress.

Where Owls Know My Name. 👌

What's the deal with guys in masks? "He's so sexy" He's wearing a full-face white mask with a face drawn on it.
