It’s written in the stars
Aug. 24th, 2023 10:18 amSo you know how I said in the last post that an engineer had come and it seemed the net might finally be sorted? Well, guess what happened?
And when did it decide to act up? Just as the Gamescom opening night stream started. So it kept cutting out repeatedly through the stream so I kept missing stuff which was so annoying and frustrating. However it wasn’t too exciting?
Here’s some basic bullet points from it (along with stuff I’ve gathered from the Xbox coverage too)
*Faefarm looks like it has a lot of cute things
*I’m super excited about Starfield, it looks so cool! I’m hoping to get Zelda finished before it but…. It’s unlikely
*Little Nightmares 3! I’m sure Ranboo will stream it
*Age Of Empires IV got added to Gamepass out of nowhere! I played the tutorial quests last night and I’m not sure exactly how different it is to 2 yet)
*Rebel Moon looks like it’ll be cool, but the net fucked up twice during the coverage
*Crimson desert has plus points for being able to pet dogs and hold cats though it looks a bit… busy. And floating islands?
*The new sonic is coming out in October (what is with things and October? There’s like half a dozen games coming out then??) and sonic frontiers is getting an update soon
No doubt I have missed something super obvious. I’m gonna be watching the Xbox coverage and I’m especially excited about Still Wakes The Deep getting something tomorrow.
Because of the net issues I didn’t do much after the opening night stream. I watched some of the Pokémon stream but because of its random nature I lost interest after the first three (especially when the third ep was the second part of a two parter and they didn’t play the first).
I watched the special feature on the Babylon 5 disc and it was so touching. The creator said he gathered all the surviving actors and said that if any of them were uncomfortable with actors who had passed being recast then they wouldn’t go ahead with it. I just thought that was really sweet and everyone did such a good job.
Then yesterday was the Ahsoka premier and I was so worried that the net would act up during it, especially since it did beforehand. Thankfully it kept stable the whole almost two hours.
A few thoughts under the cut, mostly bullet points again

There’s no real plans today other than the Xbox stream. I managed to finish Fortnite’s bonus battle pass stuff yesterday and start the new fall guys fame pass (they changed the bonus rewards to mostly titles which is good). I’m hoping to work more on fic and watch Saw 3 tonight, and maybe do Zelda too. (I’m going through the stable quests for Penn before heading to the Gerudo).
