Another reason why 'witch hunt' is a completely inappropriate term is that witches don't exist, rapists do.
That's a thing I see literally no-one else saying.
Coronation Street
I think Sinead should date outside the street. Is mostly what I think. I also love Carla, and I loved the Carla-Daniel team up when I thought it was going to be about them hating Tracy, but if they're going to get together it's a bit **yawn**
Anyway. I have mostly been replaying Borderlands 2 lately. Sarah McCakesy emailed me over the New Year to say she'd played Tales From The Borderlands, which is a game I never quite got around to, and it reminded me of my love of Handsome Jack, so I decided to go back and have another run-through. It's such a good game. There's such a sense of - space. And it's so beautiful, especially in the remastered version. Sometimes I just stop and take screenshots, it's so pretty.
It's funny how quickly the year goes, when you think about it a certain way. January and February are kind of the dead months, at the beginning of the year, but I spent all of last week thinking forward to a week when I wouldn't have three train strikes to deal with, and that's this week, which starts on 15th January, which is practically halfway through the month. Then it's only 2 weeks to February, and Valentine's Day is when I start to consider it the time when interesting things start to happen again in the year, and that's only two weeks in. And February's a short month, so only two weeks after that we're into March, and that's basically the start of spring. And only 27 days from my birthday, and Far Cry 5 being released. Having said that, I'm mostly counting my year in terms of video game release dates, as usual, and ????? Playstation announced last year that a bunch of their new exclusive games were coming 'in the first half of 2018', and we still don't have release dates for them. E3, when everyone makes their big announcements, is in June, which is basically when the first half of the year is up, so WHEN WILL YOU ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE DATES, PLAYSTATION? WHEN? Are they going to start doing Playstation Directs? Are they just going to casually announce it in a blog post? Are they just going to release the games with no announcements, like Beyonce and Lemonade? What is their plan? What is happening? Not that release dates mean very much these days, with all the delays that keep happening. But still. WHEN?

Date: 2018-01-14 04:07 am (UTC)~This is a very good point to make. "Witch hunt" just doesn't work as a term to me.
~Now that I think about it, there aren't a lot of games that I've been looking forward to that have concrete release dates yet! They all say "Coming in 2018"...maybe they'll pull a surprise and announce the actual release dates only a month or two from release. XD

Date: 2018-01-14 04:30 pm (UTC)So few games have proper release dates, and for a while I understood that, because games are getting delayed so often nowadays, and it's always a lot of hassle for a game company to go through to announce a delay, and you know - for a while people were getting death threats whenever they delayed a game from an announced release date. So I totally understood why people might not want to announce a date until they were really sure, and it'd probably have to be pretty close to that date for them to be that sure. But. It just feels like it's getting ridiculous now. So many games are supposed to release in the first half of the year, and they can't release them all at the same time, so they're going to have to start soon, if they're still doing that. Although I do think the fact that Red Dead 2 still doesn't have a release date is making them extra cautious - they don't want to accidentally release a game too close to that. But. Like I say, they're going to have to tell us at some point. I got sent a trailer for upcoming games from Game, and they listed Days Gone as coming 'Early 2018', and I'm losing my shit.
