So, I discovered I was massively limiting myself in Sunless Sea. Your ship has two speed setting, and then 0 for staying still, and a couple for going backwards. It also has something called Full Power, which warns you whenever you use it that it might make your engines explode. Silly me thought that my boat's top speed was Full Power, but apparently no, Full Power is a different thing entirely. So I've been going at half my top speed throughout the game, except very briefly when trying to escape from sea monsters. Hence why I had so many boring journeys, and why supplies cost me so much for every journey, and why my crew were always getting terrified from spending too long at sea. I have started going full speed (but not Full Power) now, and it has improved my game immensely. I can't tell if I'm annoyed with myself for not realising, or annoyed with the game for not adequately explaining it.

Sunless Sea mostly just makes me want to travel though, and collect souvenirs from wherever I go. In many ways it's not helping with the lockdown situation. And I started playing Red Dead 2 again for the horses. I somehow miss horses from the lockdown despite never riding them before it started.

The thunderstorms yesterday were disappointing, and some places were predicting a few for today, but they haven't occured yet. I'm very let down. We didn't even have proper snow last winter, and if we're not even going to get monsoons in exchange, what is the point? What are we even doing all this climate change for?
