It's so hot here right now. Insert the usual disclaimer about it almost certainly being more hot elsewhere in the world, but here in the UK we don't really know what air conditioning is and certainly don't have it as a standard fixture in our houses. (My wife and I did have the foresight to get a portable-ish unit for our bedroom last summer, though, and it was possibly the best appliance purchasing decision we've ever made.)
Andie's been up in the loft thinking about putting some boards down so we can use a bit more of it for storage, but it turns out the loft is like an absolute oven right now — hot enough to actually make the whole upper floor of the house significantly warmer if we leave the hatch open. So that plan is going to wait until it cools off a bit.
We had an attack of flies earlier. Apparently they really, really wanted the salmon we had for dinner. And not just a few, there were massive swarms in our kitchen. I've never seen them be like that for fish before. We managed to get them out of the house, however, and the cats ate at least a couple of them. We now have no more flies in the house than would be considered "normal" for a summer evening in Britain.
I mentioned yesterday that I'm going to be covering the Danmachi game for Nintendo Life, so I've been getting stuck into that today. It seems like a lot of fun so far — and a good entry point to the series — but I suspect the mechanical and structural depth will show itself a lot later, as it's fairly simple so far. From what I can tell, there's an "Extra" mode that unlocks after playing through the main story that I suspect is going to be a bit more freeform and feature dating sim elements rather than a linear narrative, but that remains to be seen. I am only a few hours in, and it's certainly been satisfying and enjoyable to play so far — just not super-complex. Which is fine.
Since I need to blast through that in a week, I'm going to head to bed and play it for a bit in our aforementioned air-conditioned bedroom. S-Rank Patrons, I hope you enjoy this month's wallpaper, and all of you — thank you, as always, for all your support, especially during these weird times.
