Baldur's Gate III looks bloody good; although I cannot play it. Anyone here tried it? Melvazord ? Just for the opening sequences I'd buy it... Last year Felice Landry posted a link to the highly entertaining Pax East (remember when we could still have conventions with many people attending?) gameplay reveal demo. Since then I've wanted this game very badly.

I am watching Ad Astra. It's not very good. It was state of the art on the Spectrum in 1984. |

Children! *Splutter*
Tis the one.
Chocolate update. The PM has a selection of mini Ritter sports in the fridge. They're not opened though. They look amazing. Jeff sells them and I might need to order some.
Did the first mission in Cyberpunk - rescued some lassie out a cold bath. Killed the first guy stealthily and then went full Pelter guns blazing.
Dunno why that capitalised Pelter. Did it again. Stupid Flanders.
Drinking the last of the Xmas 10% beer.

Just spent the last few hours progressing steadily through Upper Latria. Couple of early deaths. Eventually made it to the boss fight. Man Eater x 2. Had one about a quarter health left, the other half. Then rolled off a gantry about 5 miles high. 'You died'. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH. Fuck you 2016!

Anyone else got a year they were happy to see the back of?
Games, Greek ass, pottering around and now onto more missions. Do ubisoft just fill games with side mission things?

Anyone else got a year they were happy to see the back of? Games, Greek ass, pottering around and now onto more missions. Do ubisoft just fill games with side mission things? 2006; you might have thought 2012 when a best friend died, and fate, repeated blunders by NHS staff led to living a life of repeated septic shocks physical isolation and pain... 2006 - my mother died of senile dementia, I got ophthalmic zoster that was within 3h of costing me the sight in my only functional eye and has left me with a life-long intolerance for bright sunlight and severe headaches for a few years; my 2nd wife left me after subjecting me to intense mental abuse before decamping after 6 months with £64k (nearly bankrupting me) and my then best friend died. My then boss thought I would suicide. I have excised some really traumatic stuff. Jebus I'm fucking glad I don't have to live that terrible year again. My greatest achievement is living through those years with my humanity, kindness, SoH and affection for my fellow travellers through this shitstorm intact. I'm goddamned proud of myself. The sun is shining somewhere - always remember that  |

I see England are making hard work of the 74 runs needed to beat Sri Lanka. Marvellous.

To lighten the mood: Baba Yaga's Hut: That features in the Tomb Raider game I finished last week. Chased me about the place while Lara was out her face on poisonous spores. |

Dinnerblog: I’ve had some beef on a slow-cook since midday. I expect it to fall apart come dinner time.
It’s sitting in some red wine and stock with some onion and carrot. Kitchen smells amazing as a result.

My dinner is conditional on Waitrose delivering the beef.
