shadowhiveI was looking at the cinema times for October, mostly to see if they have Frankenstein up (they don’t) and they are showing a bunch of spooky films on rewind. So far there’s Curse Of Frankenstein, Donnie Darko, The Exorcist, A Nightmare On Elm Street, It Follows, Halloween, Scream and The Thing.
What’s strange is that Halloween isn’t being shown… on Halloween. Instead it’s being shown on the 24th which feels like an odd choice.
But I’ve only seen 3 of those (Donnie Darko, Halloween and Scream) do people rec the others? (It Follows is a no go though due to timing)
(And speaking of the cinema it keeps more K-Pop Demon a Hunter showings. I’m sure it only had one per day originally, then went to four and now it’s at 8. I just wish they weren’t all sing alongs.)
Today I did a comics order, cause I’m not going to Birmingham any time soon I decided it was for the best. I was gonna order from forbidden planet but it would’ve been £5 postage for two issues so instead I just did an order on eBay. So I’ve got the next two Exquisite Corpses, The Umbrella Academy and Event Horizon Dark Descent.
That last one was a surprise for me cause I had NO an idea it even existed until I saw an article today. It’s a prequel to the film and I’m so hyped and I was planning on watching the film for spooky season anyway so this gave me more incentive.
Because Seapeekay has been playing Blue prince I’ve ended up going back on it and I’ve made some progress. I have all the blue flames light, I finally got to the antechamber (though not with enough steps to use the key😭) and I did the chess puzzle. I feel I could get to room 46 soon though I also sense there’ll be more puzzles.
I have to admit I am using guides a bit, but that’s mostly because I can’t actually read the text clues half the time. (I even struggle seeing the text on room upgrades) Makes me wish I was playing it on the switch (is it on switch??) but I guess it’s a sign my eyes are getting worse. Or that it needs an option to increase text sizes (but I guess they won’t cause of the magnifying glass)
But the past two days (other than seeing Weapons) has been low energy. I think I’ve been drained from the weather, the argument with mum and just being so bleh in general. Last night I ended up just laying in the dark with the Pokémon stream on and I just… zoned out and drifted off. It’s so annoying especially that it’s been so frequent lately. Meh.
Mail came today and it was a mix of eh (a clearly scam letter) and yay (the adorn magazine I ordered with Luke Hemmings). Luke looks so pretty in it and I wish I had the focus to read but alas I don’t.
That’s another annoyance mostly cause I wanna read Clown In A Cornfield but just don’t seem to have the focus for it. Bleh.
But also yay the Black a series Night Trooper I ordered came yesterday which looks cool, though I didn’t get a chance to look at it cause food shop.
Tomorrow it’s heading out to pick up something mum ordered and then who knows.
Next few days I hope I have the focus to read (if not Clown at least Exquisite Corpses), I wanna get back to Hell Motel and there’s Reading And Leeds showings. There’s only two actual shows (Chappell Roan and Bring Me The Horizon) so I hope iplayer gets the full Waterparks set. Walsall pride is this weekend but I don’t feel up to it, between general mood and not feeling peoplely.
As for tonight I was hoping to watch the new Alien Earth, but the future games show ran longer than I expected so I’m less sure about that.

Nooooooooooo this happened to me the first time too!! It's such a gut punch.
Blue Prince is not on Switch - I heard but have not substantiated the report that the devs specifically objected to the way Nintendo treats third-party games and as such weren't going to release it on the Switch, but as I said, that's unsubstantiated hearsay.
I always encourage using guides when you need them to make the game fun for you rather than frustrating. I've been using guides for all the Mora Jai puzzles because my brain just doesn't work that way and I know those kind of puzzles make me absolutely bonkers with rage. So to keep the game fun for me, I get some help. No shame in it. It's a game and it's meant to be fun! Do whatever you need to keep it fun and accessible for you.

Date: 2025-08-21 09:15 am (UTC)It is! I had a dining room too but I didn’t think it was worth going first to get the steps (though wish I did) and I’d forgot I’d have to go through one of the rooms you lose steps (I think gym?) 3 times 😭
Oh I didn’t know that! I’d assumed they might’ve put it on there but I’d not seen it. (It does feel it’d be good for handheld but that seems understandable if true)
That’s good! Cause yeah some of the puzzles are very…obtuse to say the least. Is the Mora Jai the box puzzles with the lights? I’ve not found one but I know Seapeekay had trouble. (And last night he got to the gallery and spent about 40 minutes trying to solve it, I’d have pulled a guide up in 10😭)
I’m glad you posted the dartboard thing too. I’d been doing pretty well with it on my own… until there was one with the bullseye lit up and I had NO idea what it was and found out it meant squaring😭

Date: 2025-08-21 11:13 am (UTC)The gym and the weight room are the BANE OF MY LIFE. I rarely bother with them unless I have the shelter as the outside room.
Yeah, the coloured light boxes are the Mora Jai puzzles. My brain just does not work with spatial computing that way. I've shed too many tears over Rubik's Cubes to waste my time trying these ones myself, lol.
I don't know that I'd have solved the Gallery without help. I did look up a hint to get me started and solved two of the pictures myself, but the other two I looked up and was glad I did. That was not very intuitive.
The billiard room puzzle solver is truly saving my life. The maths had me actually crying real tears the other day. There's an upgrade disk for the billiard room that resets the puzzle to simple addition only, and I'm DYING to find it. I wish dyscalculia was a more recognised thing because I could really use accessibility help on this one :( but I'll quit whining once I find the damn upgrade disk, lol.

Date: 2025-08-21 12:48 pm (UTC)Same! I think my only other options was worse… so of course I get the greenhouse in one room and the way towards the chamber in another
That’s fair! Puzzles like that you either get or you don’t and if you don’t well… at least there’s guides!
Yeah I kept trying to puzzle them out as he was doing them and I had no idea with 3 of them.
Oh no I’m sorry! I hope you find that disc cause that sounds really useful! I’ve been ok when it’s the basic functions but seeing it had squares and other stuff… it made me lose my mind and I can only imagine how bad its been for you🥺
