Crank stepping to George Not Found?! The monster. Only kidding, our youngest was into him (even had t-shirts, hats etc) but thankfully no longer.
Morning!
Hours of Ringing last night. I had a plan to have a pop at bigg boss #2 but 5 hours later I hadn't been near where I believe he hangs out.
Instead, I managed to:
Duff up the Dragon on the lake in Limgrave. Tried a few times to do it properly like a man but kept getting burned to ash. So did the honourable thing and stood on the top of a ruin where I was out of flames reach and fired arrers at him til he was DEAD.
Upgraded my Bloodhound Fang to +4
Beat/cleared 3 (THREE) caves/tunnels and the mini bosses within each. The spirit wolves make these quite easy now. Whilst they distract, sneak up behind and POW! A couple of charged heavy hits takes them out.
Got poisoned to death by a flower type thing.
Got invaded and murdered by a glowing red NPC invader with sharp knives.
Tonight I am going to try big boss #2.
OTTM, off to sainsburys in a bit.

Ring - stormnuts castle. Its a real bastard of a souls level. I made it as far as some monstrosity that I thought might be the boss, but it turned out wasn't. Those birds that do that thing are right fuckers.

Tuffers a person after my own heart, I still like the sneak up behind a stationary boss and poisoning them tactic. I was getting annoyed with a mini boss last night, still haven't worked out that being tired and angry is not the best state to be in when playing this dumb game. 4*

I've been drifting on FH5. It's been a real bugbear of mine until now, but I really feel that I can now fully embrace the philosphy of *cough* drifting.*
*Not with Jane McDonald, that would be wrong.

Having changed one of the settings in the difficulty it has made robo Dino's less of missing machine parts. Seems the better way than repeatedly farming them.

It’s official….. i have been discharged from the eyeball stabbers. A final dose of yellow dye in each eye just to make sure everyone thinks I’ve got major jaundice, and I am released into a bright and shiny new world.

Got. Sainsburys. Done.
I fancy a celebratory beer but it's too early.
Got the cricket on. Fair declaration by Rooty. We're going to lose aren't we?

What have I been up to? Gather ‘round, boxers, for I have been a busy amipal.
Last night, I visited a mate’s flat for a game of Nemesis - a board game that’s basically Aliens. Wake up on a spaceship, explore rooms, and hope you don’t make to much noise lest the aliens awake…
Five of us played, and it was ruddy good fun.
After that, I got to play the latest Gran Turismo on the PS5. Gorgeous, and a fantastic “feel” to it. My mate has a seat, peddles and a wheel, so all-new levels of immersion.
Today, it was an early start for all of us - we’ve been to the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. GLORY BE.
The boy went from crying that he didn’t want to go, to insisting we go around HMS Victory for a second time. Gawd bless ‘im!
Just got back home, and I think we’ll be getting a takeaway for dinner. What a day… What. A. Day.

amipalI think I can remember having a similar childhood reaction to the Victory. There’s no ‘derring-do’. It’s order, discipline, naval warfare administration. But interesting enough once you’re on it.

I have just spent a ridiculous amount of time and effort* just to beat a mini-boss so I can get the second part of a key so I can go to a "secret" area and pick up an armour set that only looks good***, I need a lie down now.
*I may have done a complete repec from katana to sorcery, grinded a lot of runes, got various talisman's, artefacts and spells** just so I can one shot this particular SOB.
**which also entailed beating several other mini-bosses.
***Though it does have built in silent running thus saving a talisman slot.

This is good content, but weirdly rich. Like three oysters plopped into a leek and potato soup. |

So, with a much weakened bowling side (having left the two best bowlers in England's history at home) and a pitch with less life left in it than me, Root decides that setting a target requiring the Windies to score less than 4 an over at the start of a 3 match series is a cracking good idea. "...it’s rather like every Ashes series down under. We turn up as underdogs, mess it up from the very first ball and leave Australia with our tails between our legs."*Indiscipline, inexplicably bad decisions, and bad performances seem to be the hallmark of all our teams. And unreal expectations: "We can still win" says Heather Knight. |

I've just wound The Lad up big time about his exploits last night. What exploits? Just him throwing the usual tantrum inside his flat and occasionally opening his front door to hoot naughty words into the abyss.
Soooo...when I saw him earlier, I had a bit of fun.
Tids: What were you doing running around naked last night? Lad: *pauses* err...what? Tids: You, running around, in the nudey, last night. Lad: Oh no Mr Tids, please tell me I was wearing my boxers.
Tids: Well, I don't like to say, I was trying not to look down there. Lad: Please tell me I was wearing my boxers Mr Tids, please, please, pleeaaseee tell me I was wearing my boxers. Tids: Don't worry Laddy. I just made the whole thing up. Hahahahaha...
Lad: *nervously* Hahahahahaa...
The most fun I've had in ages. 4 delicious stars.

The child is watching more of her dance show The Next Step. Three lads have gone to that London. They're at a hip-hop dance competition called Bangers n Mashup. Christ.
Pizza and wedges for dinner.
Hopefully some gaming when the child goes to bed. PM en-route home from town.

Went on a school trip to see the Victory. Me and a mate took a piss in the corner of a cabin. Banned from school trips for the rest of the year.

Pro tip: now you have yellow eye dye, start watching Man City and pretend they're Norwich. |
