The turning tide

This is gonna be a more general post before I do another stuff I love/song Saturday later when James’ new vid goes live.

Thursday night was Summer Game Fest (followed by Day Of The Devs and then Devolver Digital) which had some good announcements. Highlights for me:

*The new Prince Of Persia looks fun, I’ve never played the games but it looks enjoyable (for a minute I thought it was gonna be a fenyx rising sequel cause the art looked similar)
*Theres a new 2D sonic game which lets you play as other characters and do co-op (i hope Shadow is in it)
*There was a new trailer for Lies Of P which looks cool and has the steampunk style aesthetic, I’m excited for it when it joins game pass (plus it had a submarine pained as a shark!)
*There was some Alan Wake II gameplay (which might be my main birthday present, I need to play the remake before then) and it looks like it’ll be really good! What’s the deal with the tattooed heart?
*Under The Waves, which is set under the sea in some kinda base and I like underwater stuff and the mysterious vibe
*Star Trek in infinite gives me the vibes of a trek game on the wii that’s as really good, I hope I’m right
*Theres a game called Beastieballs which is basically Pokémon based volleyball and it looks cute

Those are the main ones that caught my attention, there’s the wholesome direct today and then tomorrow is the big xbox one followed by info on starfield which I’m super curious about.

I went really tired after that though, which has been an annoying trait again lately. It’s not helped that it’s suddenly gone so incredibly warm and I hope it doesn’t end up like that heatwave last year where you couldn’t do anything at all. Apparently there’s a weather warning for a thunderstorm here today so I hope that helps cool things down.

Yesterday I headed to Home Bargains to pick things up that we needed and they had the Shadow figure I missed out on in December again! So I picked him up and Knuckles too, as well as some sweets and drink to try (and galaxy digestives, I didn’t even know they were a thing?)

I didn’t do much yesterday other than listen to So Long (James’ new song, vid out today), go on Fortnite (new season, there’s a jungle with raptors!) and watch Jago drum (which was hot!). And I watched a bit of the qsmp mini event though, again, I got real tired.

However there was some good news. A hate preacher in America is dead, Trump is being indicted (and should see prison) and Boris has resigned (as he should the useless prick though his honours list is a horror show of incompetence). Though sadly one of the few politicians I actually respect, Caroline Lucas, has said she’s standing down which is so sad because she actually cares about people which so many don’t.

Today I’m gonna watch either Temple Of Doom or The Mummy (whichever I don’t watch today I’ll watch tomorrow) and then there’s the wholesome direct and mcc pride tonight. I do wanna try and fic but ficcing has been elusive lately. And maybe I’ll watch the empty man if I’m not too drained.

Tomorrow I wanna do icons, watch whatever I don’t watch today and the Xbox direct. Woo!

Though fuck, I just saw that the Lovejoy gig is on a Sunday which is the WORST day to get back from gigs so I hope the venue takes that into account (or maybe there’s more trains now? But ugh now I’m gonna have anxiety about it for months)
