areolasIt's steam's spring sale. I bought a couple of games & tried a demo of another, I haven't liked any of them & returned them all.
Pathologic is supposed to be a classic & I was getting the essence of something interesting, but the gameplay was unpleasant enough I couldn't get past it to keep going. Pathologic 2 is supposed to be less of a sequel and more of a reboot of the game, so maybe I'll try that instead, but not just now. I'm too sick of trying new games and not liking them to be bothered.
Also tried Fear & Hunger which I've heard is good but is one of those I'd need to read like a whole encyclopedia about while playing & idk, that's not something I feel like doing right now either. The environment was kind of interesting?
I got Card Shark, a game set in like 1500s France where you're going around cheating people out of money with various card cons lol. I got to play a card game against Voltaire & I do actually quite like that one!
Otherwise I'm having a good long weekend. Sewed more of my costume a bit & did some cleaning. I'm crocheting some bluebells cause I've finally started my gallery wall & I wanted a little vase thing with some little bluebells in there. I took some inspiration from some of the houses in dishonored 2 actually... some kinda creepy dark arts, framed butterflies (responsibly bought, I promise), these little bluebells, and a cross stitch I've been working on a while.
Anyway I'm gonna work a little bit on some classwork a bit I guess. I don't want to but I have an exam next week and I missed those classes so.... I gotta. I talked to a classmate of mine yesterday, we met for coffee to hang out & she had this same class as me & had similar thoughts to it as I do. It's not taught in a way that connects with me and the paper exams don't make any sense.... but! it is what it is and I have to work around it. Being cranky about it won't make it change.
Still haven't gotten any results toward registering for this summer class. This coming week is going to be me doing everything I can to get that sorted with my advisor and the department. It's also.... very irritating
