Don't worry, give her 10 episodes and she becomes the weakest link in the Game of Thrones cast. Even Kit Harrington surpassed her at some point.

Heh, yeah, they can be. How far along in the game are you?

Jump ahead to 22:30 to skip the introduction.

Love them too. I visited von Däniken's Mystery Park in Switzerland and once met the guy at one of his "lectures" for some ancient aliens fun, I even have an autographed copy of one of his books somewhere. These ancient astronaut guys are as hilarious in real life as they are on TV.

That's because it was. Rushed, I mean.

Wait what?

It for sure proved that 80ies music makes for superior soundtracks. Well and that Eurythmics were the bomb. edit: My favorite scene was the fight with Stefan's psychiatrist, but in general I liked the episode better before he became aware of what is going on.

I'm also using my Switch way more than any other console since the GameCube (and that not only feels like but was half my lifetime ago). Yeah, you can... kinda wait. I've got both and haven't finished either so far. They're good games, sometimes even amazing, but there's something lacking. In case of Breath of the Wild that's easier to put a finger on, it's not Zelda enough for a Zelda game. If that doesn't make sense, watch Joseph Anderson's excellent analysis, he pretty much nailed it: As far as Odyssey goes it's just not nearly as fun as Super Mario Galaxy and its successor were, even if the seamless transition between 3D gameplay and 2D retro gaming is pretty impressive and Mario controls really well.

It had lyrics, Ackbar just didn't like them:

Hollow Knight was a weird case for me too. I struggled with (apparently) easy bosses like the boss at the end of the Trial of the Fool but had no issues traversing the Path of Pain. Edit: Huh. I just beat the boss in Furi in handheld mode on my first attempt today (without getting knocked out even once). How utterly bizarre.

Furi, with which I'm having immense trouble and I'm just entirely sure why. I seem to be unable to get the timing of certain parts of the battles consistently right even after many attempts. What bothers me is the consistency part. If I would consistently suck then I'd just need to git gud or accept that the game's too hard (maybe this game is genuinely so much harder than anything else I've ever played) but there are times where I breeze through phases without hitch and times where I dodge myself into every boss' attack.

I just noticed that for some reason even though it's not mentioned in the Kickstarter rewards my copy of Pathfinder: Kingmaker did in fact come with the DLC Season Pass. Way to go Owlcat. I'll get back to the game once all the expansions/DLCs are released. It's too much of a time commitment to get back into it now.

Heh, that post reminded me of something.

Took some pictures of our family christmas dinners this time around. Yay. Again, made from an iPhone so the quality is so-so. Putting the pictures into spoiler tags to keep the post concise. Cheese plate, cold cuts and homemade cookies: Smoked fish, various pickles, veggies and hard boiled eggs (and some condiments) Fresh bakery and butter: Roasted Bambi and boar: Chop chop: Graaaaaaaaavy: Gravy, part II: With added root veggies: Brussels sprouts: Bread dumplings: Pretzel dumplings: Red cabbage: Croquettes - eh, well, these were store bought (but no less awesome). The reason why most of it is in some sort of Tupperware container is because the food was prepared at three different locations. Christmas logistics for the win.

Condolences Hurlshot... And Happy new year guys.

Mega Man 11. Finished it on Normal, will try Superhero sometime soon. Bounce Man's stage has the potential to become my favorite Mega Man stage.

A friend of mine is a member of Rebel Legion and they rented a screen for a private viewing of The Empire Strikes Back to commemorate Carrie Fisher's death. Seeing it on the silver screen really drives home how much better crafted Empire is than all the newer Star Wars films. It also very much proves a point of Mike Stoklasa that when a film is good enough plot holes don't bother the viewer as much. Between Luke landing on Dagobah and Han reaching Bespin lies a world of timing issues very similar to The Last Jedi's situation of Rey finding Luke and connecting it to the slow chase between the First Order and the Resistance. Yet, while seeing The Empire Strikes Back for what must have been the hundredth time it never once came to mind while it kept bothering me all the time during even the first viewing of The Last Jedi.

Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too guys.

Grabbed the Mega Man Collection and Mega Man 11 for the Switch. Already played and finished the first Mega Man.

Started to read Sexy Losers again after this rainbow kiss discussion. Still cracks me up. Warning, the comic's very much not safe for work.

Public Squadron 42 roadmap with a projected Beta in Q2 2020. Chris Roberts also sold 10% of CIG US & UK for $ 46,000,000. The funds are supposed to go towards marketing and distribution, something he doesn't want to spend the crowdfunded money on.

Alone in the Dark can take a while to finish, especially if you play them all in a row and the trilogy is currently on sale. Assuming you don't mind blocky graphics as muc has SonicMage117 does.

Finished Dark Souls. Did most of it, Dark Sun Gwyndolin is still standing (for some early Titanite Chunk farming). Not sure what to think of it yet. I enjoyed the experience and might even continue in NG+ or replay but I don't really get the hype (yet?).

Don't worry, you can keep the traitor as long as you don't sentence him to death for his treason (or, ahem, if you want the thingy he stole).
