Absolutely amazing story on BOTH of them. You will like it.

A couple of little parts kept annoying me just because I'm familiar with Norse mythology and I kept spotting the foreshadowing. For example.....

.....I pegged the Stranger as Balder pretty much immediately, which then made the purpose of the mistletoe arrows pretty obvious.

The Gullveig sidequest also stuck out as soon as I caught the name.

But overall it was a very good story. It was nice seeing Kratos grow from the raging bastard he was in the old games and actually try to be a person. Also nice that he's not very good at it and has to grow into it and actually work at it, it feels more organic than just suddenly being a good dad. And Atreus is actually highly useful in combat, so he avoids the usual pitfalls of escorts. Looking forward to Ragnarok.

Finally got around to beating Dad of War. Not sure why I never finished it before, probably just got sidetracked in another game and just never got back to it until now.

Plus side, now I can go straight into the sequel.

I need to stop being lazy and finish Xenoblade chronicles 2/3,FF9 and tales of Vesperia.

My husband bought it for the PC a few months ago and has barely dipped into it.

I'm not really into Norse lore but apparently, they did a decent job of it. "The Wisdom of Odin" on youtube did a lore breakdown on how accurate it was. (for the 2nd game) It might have spoilers but if you don't care; it was a good watch.

Holiday family visitation is finally over.

I love my family, and I love the time with them, and I even miss them a little bit. BUT THANK GOD. I have my place to myself again. Phew.

I can't believe this...


One of my FC mates randomly gave me 3 million to gamble to get a house plot with, and I decided to befriend them on a more personal level - no, of course not in the hopes that they'll give more gil, but out of gratitude and they seemed a fun person in general. Found out that they were in my country for 4 years, studied at a school I went to perform for a music competition, and lived in an area super close to my old college! It's such a huge coincidence, almost providence that it happens!

She is adorable. She reminds me of the woman who was on this Japanese gameshow where they had to stay awake for 100 hours. Every hour they would have a challenge they would do to either make them sleepy or more awake. Every hour they would get prize money and every 8 hours they can choose to quit with what they had. The woman on that was super adorable. If I find it I'll edit this with the video.

Edit: Found it - Link found in separate post due to can't edit on phone and link was blocked on work PC so tried typing the link but letters suck on typing.

My family lives in the next state over. Its a blessing and a curse.

I live about 1500 miles away from my family. None of my family will actually talk to each other and it's weird. I'm the only one who really reaches out to the others.

Small world isn't it? I had a similar experience when I got out of the military. A guy who was in a neighboring Company got out before I did and then when I got out I went to Missouri to visit family and he ended up working the McDonalds right next to my sisters house.

I hate links where you don't know if it's an lowercase l or an uppercase I. Couldn't edit on phone so posting the link I said I would here.

Finished off everything I wanted to do before the update...meaning the tomestone stuff is done, as is the PvP series rank (meaning I have the mount). Let this be a lesson to me to never procrastinate this stuff.
