girlofpreySunless Sea is a really good game, but it's very frustrating. It's set up so most of the time you'll die and have to start again, just having learned something new. But that also means you have to go through the same early game setup over, and over, again, pretending to be surprised by all the new revelations, and hoping you get the same lucky breaks as you did before, knowing how long it will be till you're set up enough to actually see something new again. As a result, I spent a lot of yesterday playing with a captain called 'Shithead'. Shithead was probably my most successful captain, and I was a little bit worried I was going to win the game with her. But then she died to a random wandering boss monster I couldn't defeat or get away from. So I get to start again. With Isobel. I'm hoping she will do just as well.
I'm so desperate for them to put horses in the Sims I'm ready to go back to Red Dead Redemption and ride those horses. Even though I know what a pain it is to play that game. Do they put the instructions in a handy menu screen or sheet of paper in the game box? No they do not. You just have to try to remember how to make your horse stop, or aim a gun. Currently they're speculating on the Sims forums that we'll get a romantic Paris-themed pack next, despite really very little evidence. If EA thought just not releasing any information about what new content was upcoming for the Sims would stop people speculating and then being disappointed, I think they have made a misstep.
I can't remember if I said we were being called back to work on 1st July previously in this journal, but I was incorrect - my manager actually said 'the beginning of July'. And hasn't given any further update on exactly when this is. Next week? The week after? I'm going to text him and hope for a response.
I've just realised women don't have a month. People talking about Pride month got me thinking about it. We only have a day. That doesn't seem like much for an entire half of the world's population. Maybe I will have a women's history month. Maybe in August.
