Second trip to the emergency vet last night, and it turns out she has a bad UTI rather than constipation. 😕 She'll be on antibiotics and painkillers for a few days, but hopefully she'll be okay.

$350 at the vet to be told she's constipated, lol.

She was simultaneously growling and devouring Churu tubes the entire time. Not even cat rage or a thermometer up her butt will interfere with her eating treats.

Welp, another set I won't have to care about next year. My wallet thanks you, WotC.

Individual packs are selling okay here. (Not sure if they're selling to Magic players or Spider-Man fans though.) But draft is abysmal. When my partner and I went to prerelease, only 4 other people showed up.

Finished Silent Hill f last night. What a wild ride. Every time I thought I was at the end, the game went a little further and crazier. Wasn't a fan of the constant mandatory enemy gauntlets towards the end, but overall I really enjoyed my time with it. Will go watch the other endings shortly.

Most games I'll just pick up and continue, no matter how much time it's been. The exception is games like Skyrim, where I want to start a new adventure as a new character when I go back to it.

Just a few more weeks until my trip to Ottawa and Toronto. I'll be going to the live Stardew Valley concert, visiting some people, and hitting up as many game stores as I can make it to.

Spooky season is here! I haven't watched many movies lately, but I'll make an effort to break out some horror movies this month. 🎃

Don't wait! I dismissed my abdominal pain for a long time, and eventually ended up in the ER followed by days in hospital. (Thought it was my appendix, but surprise! It's Crohn's disease. 😑) Pain can be a bigger deal than it let's on, especially when it ramps up slowly.

Getting my meds increased soon because I am Big Sad. Don't want more meds, but I need to at least be able to function. Would be nice to not keep feeling like I'm in a deep pit that I can't climb out of. 😕

If people on YouTube could refrain from putting Silent Hill f spoilers in their thumbnails for at least a FEW days, that would be great. 🙃

Well, looks like I can't go EVERYWHERE in the previous areas. Unfortunate that I can't get back to Sakuko's house to do the side quest. :(

The game has very quickly gotten stingy with healing items. I'm gonna die REAL fast unless I come across a stash soon. :/

Crowsea @crowsea.bsky.social · 14d

Glad I get to go back through some of the previous areas and pick up things I missed, but damn are the enemies kicking my ass. Just can't seem to get good at the combat in this game, so I keep dying to mannequins with knives. 🎎🔪

Solved the warped plant texture problem. (It just involved manually setting the drives to DX12.) Now I just have to deal with the fact that I'm bad at video games, LOL. Just fought the first real boss of the game, and I probably died 10 times getting through it.

I know plants are a theme of the game, I'm pretty sure bushes aren't meant to stretch like this, lol. More troubleshooting needed, it looks like every bush is out to get me.

Crowsea @crowsea.bsky.social · 17d

Well, game is crashing out of the gate. :/ Required some troubleshooting to get it running.

Silent Hill f time! I'll use this thread to post thoughts so spoilery stuff doesn't show up on the main feed.
