Now
Last updated on
Life has been busy since the last update but I am going to try to bring some love to the /now page. Hopin' for momentum! Here's a brief summary of the big stuff!
Reading
- I finished reading Pale and loved it, all the way through
- I then moved back to reading Super Supportive until I caught back up with that
- And once I had caught up with that, I moved across to reading fellow 32-bit cafe member Varve's Take My Hand, and I'm currently on chapter 101 of 120 and loving it. I didn't even realise it was fanfic of Tales of Arcadia (which I hadn't heard of) when I started reading it, but I think I'll check it out at some point!
- Once I've finished book 1 of Take My Hand, I'll probably catch up with Super Supportive again as I'm not too far behind, then begins the task of catching up with The Wandering Inn again, where I am... somewhat behind! Looking forward to it.
- I haven't read any physical books, however I have been gifted INSERT BOOK NAME HERE which I need to get started on
TV
- I mentioned in the last /now page entry (all of whch are archived on the /then page!) that I've been watching Star Trek: Picard - I did finish this show, here are my thoughts: Season 1: Mostly great! Season 2: Skip this. bleurgh. Season 3: Holy nostalgia this was epic and perfect fanservice. Loved it!
- Here's a quick fire round of other TV I've seen (and can remember) and my thoughts on it:
- Brassic: It's not quite as good as it was!
- Here We Go: Good stuff!
- Mobland: Pretty good!
- The Last of Us (s2): Awesome!
- The Gentlemen: It's okay!
- Whites: Great! How is there not more?!
- Traitors Celebrity (uk): I don't like reality TV! This is just about acceptable though, but only just. I prefer skipping the challenge things.
- Last one Laughing (uk): Brilliant!
- Alien: Earth: It was almost good! The first episode was awesome!
- For All Mankind: Awesome!
- Small Prophets: Incredible!
- Severance: It's alright!
- Black Rabbit: Great!
- Pluribus: 9 episodes for 5 episodes of content, but it was still pretty good!
- Tales from the Loop: Amazing!
- Yellowstone (s1): Okay I guess but we haven't gone back for more!
- Firefly: Perfect! This is semi-regularly watched, and after the latest news I will be watching it again
- And here's the shows we are currently watching:
- SpongeBob Squarepants: Brilliant!
- Little House on the Prairy: Brilliant in the old school way that a lot of it is great or better but some of it is questionable and some of it is outstanding!
- The Amazing World of Gumball: This is so good it hurts!
- Ted Lasso: We watched episode 1 ages ago and it didn't click but just watched another few and it's turning into something great!
Gaming
- I've finished a few games since the last update:
- Prey (2017): Awesome!
- Mad Max: Great!
- Borderlands: Pre Sequel: Surprisingly good once it gets going!
- Borderlands: Pre Sequel: Claptastic Voyage: Best DLC ever? Maybe!
- Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: Best DLC ever again? Maybe!!
- Dishonored: Awesome!
- Portal: Perfect!
- We have also now own a Switch 2, purchased for the kid for xmas. He's been playing Wobbly Life, Mario Kart World, Portal, and a few others on there. Some we've played together! Good times.
Work
- Work does not define a person, but it sure takes up a lot of energy, time and brain space, doesn't it! It's been hectic, furious, confusing, concerning, worrying... I've written about it in a recent post
