Yesterday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jekesta, Sarah - I no longer have an LJ tag for her - and peeeeeeet and I were talking about Sony, and how they make pretty great electrical equipment, despite their slightly odd reputation. And then last night on a podcast, the Youtubers I follow were talking about one of the new Xboxes that are coming out, and how its marketing made a big deal of the fact it doesn't have a power brick. Which is apparently something all Xbox consoles up to this point have had, which I didn't know. A power brick is a massive block you have to plug an electronic device into, which then gets plugged into the wall, rather than just have a plug that goes into the wall. Most of the Nintendo consoles I've seen have one, and apparently up till now all Xbox consoles have had them. Consoles that have never had them? Playstations. Playstation 2s, Playstation 3s, and the Playstation 4. Because Sony wires that shit right. Playstation for life!
I have played more of the Witcher. It's slightly less annoying now. The world is actually quite fun to explore, and some of the characters have actual personalities. Including the main character! Who knew. I don't think Tomira, the beautiful healer, is going to be a major character, but she was fun while she was there. I was going to post a picture of her so you could all see, but then I thought maybe there'd be spoilers. So picture a beautiful woman. That's Tomira. Most of the other main female characters in the game are incredibly skinny with ridiculous hair, including the main character's adopted daughter, who's now "all grown up". She's also a princess with incredible magical powers. Because, you know. But so far they are also making an effort to make them actual characters. Which is nice. I like the world. I don't know how much I'm going to care about the main story or main character, is how it is so far. Also, I had to answer a bunch of questions about things the character probably did or had to make decisions about in the previous games, which I haven't played. Choosing answers at random meant I claimed I'd partnered up with 'a murderer of non-humans', which is nice. So we'll see how all that turns out.
