I thought I'd escaped it, but I feel distinctly beaten down by the vaccine booster shot from the other day today. Had to go and have a bit of a sleep after work, though I was revived from my slumber for a thoroughly pleasant pizza. I think after I've typed this up, though, I'm heading back to bed to play some Evercade/Intellivision — I'm pretty hooked on Night Stalker at the moment.
Wrote 5,000 words on Blue Reflection earlier today without even really trying — you can read that here. I need to knuckle down and do a second playthrough of that to get the "true" ending, but I'm hesitating for the stupidest reason — I like all those characters so much that I know I'll feel guilty skipping story scenes, dates and suchlike. (Also the dates are actually important to character progression, so you can't really just not do them.) I'll get to it, though — I'm too curious to see the true ending.
Aside from that, not a whole lot to report, really. Oh, I did get a new chair — one specifically aimed at the larger individual — and that seems to have been a good choice so far. I have already let out several monstrous farts in it, so it has most certainly been welcomed to the family. Patti has not yet clawed it, which is a bonus, but I suspect that situation won't last long.
I'm excited for my steering wheel setup. I believe the stand for it is arriving tomorrow, and the wheel itself on Wednesday, which is mildly frustrating, but it is what it is. I have a number of games that I'm looking forward to trying with it — and am mildly concerned by warnings in BeamNG.drive's documentation that on its default setting the force feedback for crashes can be alarmingly "authentic" — to such a degree that it recommends treating the wheel as you would one in a real car if you were actually having a crash.
Naturally I won't be crashing at all once I have the wheel, of course, because it will immediately make me a much better driver. Hah. No, I'm looking forward to giving it a go with BeamNG.drive probably most of all, but I bet Snowrunner and Euro Truck Simulator will also be a fun time. I've always loved driving games, but I've never owned a steering wheel controller for any platform, so this is pretty exciting. Full reports will, of course, follow.
Anyway, in my vaccine-blasted state as I am, I'm going to go sit in bed for a bit and play some old video games, perhaps while watching the new Nijisanji boys' debuts. Sounds like a plan, dunnit?
