Sep. 15th, 2020 02:31 pmMy mum had her last shift at the hospital on Friday, after something like 37 years. I feel like it's the end of an era, but mum doesn't seem that bothered by it. I guess she thinks it's time, and she just says she feels free. I'm guessing the coronavirus is probably adding to that at the moment. She did get exposed to quite a few suspected cases, despite all the procedures in place. Anyway, the house is filled with flowers now from her co-workers saying goodbye, and she is done with it. Unless she gets called back in during another crisis, I guess.
I have been playing a lot of Crusader Kings 3. It's weird how invested you can get in when you can have your next feast (it reduces stress and makes my vassals like me more? get in). Currently I'm trying to achieve the game's suggested goal of using my Irish queen to reclaim Brittania, and make it all Celtic again. I don't think I'm going to achieve it given the amount of time left in the middle ages, given the year we're at in the game, but it's been fun. The game's full of bugs though. You get obese, seemingly out of nowhere, and the decision to try to lose weight doesn't seem to do anything but make you stressed out. Lots of people are having the same issue. So then your ruler might just die out of nowhere, before you're ready to pass things on to their kids, and there's not much you can do about it except risk giving them a heart attack. Hopefully they'll sort that stuff out soon.
And Playstation are having another conference tomorrow night. Presumably where they're going to announce the release date and price for the PS5s (barring the gold one), and also where they're going to talk about games, so maybe some new announcements? I'm hoping for Wild to make a return, and maybe Silent Hill to be announced, but that's much more of a longshot. Mostly at this point I just want them to open pre-orders, so I can have some idea of if I'm even going to get one this holiday. I'm confident that my local games shop will put my name down for one of the first ones they get, but I'm not confident of how many units my local independent games shop will get. But things are moving on! I will be unavailable for 40 minutes tomorrow at 9pm. I am excite.
