girlofpreyLiv doing all her wheelings and dealings while Chas just didn't notice was probably my favourite thing. Dr Bailey being a creepy stalker and Liv randomly losing her hate of Robert was not my favourite thing. Laurel is always my favourite thing. Cain is still a dick.
I went to Leeds today with my mum and ON. I love my ON, but...oh my god he is so irritating. I feel awful, but alsdkjsakd. He keeps talking and talking and doing a running commentary on everything he's doing, and interrupting my mum and I while we were speaking to talk. And I know he's doing it because he wants to be a Youtuber, and they - because they are making videos - talk and talk all the time to avoid dead air. But you can turn Youtube videos off. Or just watch one a day. My nephew, not so much. We were in a comic book store, and he only went in to buy Pokemon cards - that's still a thing - and he bought them almost immediately, and I told him I'd be a while because I'd be looking at all the comic books that are out, since I don't get to come very often, and he just spent the rest of the time whispering under his breath, and talking about the other cards on display, and doing loud maths to see how many other packs he could afford to buy with the rest of his money that mum was holding, and doing a whole performance of going down the stairs in the shop to see what was on sale in the basement floor, and skfldjlsdk. While I was reading. While I was trying to concentrate so I could get out of the shop sooner, so he wouldn't be stuck in with me, bored. On the way home on the train he started playing games on his smartphone, and doing a running commentary on those, mostly under his breath, but slightly louder whenever your gaze vaguely turned in his direction. I'm not his audience. It was exhausting.
Anyway. I've mostly been playing Fallout 4 recently, since the Far Harbor DLC came out. I love the Far Harbor DLC, but unfortunately they have a fog effect in most of the new area that makes my game lag like crazy. I thought it was just me though, because my save files getting so big things had started lagging in other areas, where they never did before. But apparently it's a problem lots of people are having, so they're meant to be releasing a patch to fix it, so maybe it'll get a lot better soon enough. Also Fallout 4 became a little frustrating because my favourite companion is Deacon, and I saw some stuff people made online talking about a bunch of obscure things in the game that, together, suggest that Deacon's kind of an asshole. They didn't think it made him an asshole, but I think if he was doing what they thought he was doing, he's kind of an asshole. Which kind of soured my/my character's relationship with him. And it's not like you can have it out with fictional characters, or ask them if it's true. Or have it out with them about things that happened literally in front of your face, if the game doesn't give you an option to do so. So I had to sort of re-evaluate and come up with a theory that made him less of a dick, but still made sense with all the little hints, and believe that instead. It's cool now. He's fictional. But we're tight.

Date: 2016-05-31 08:48 pm (UTC)I sympathise re your nephew, we had my sister and her bf and my nieces down at the weekend and I love them, but oh my god it's just constant talking and demands for attention. Oldest niece, middle niece and my sister all talk a lot more than me and baby niece isn't talking yet so when she is it will be ridiculous. When they go home it's such a relief!
