Tea!

.

.

I had a Japanese green, tonight.  Might have another, if I get chilly again.  My hands were absolutely beginning to freeze!  As was much else.  I put on a second tshirt, long sleeve, under my short sleeve tshirt.  But that wasn't helping with the hands.  So, tea.  I had to figure out how to brew it.  The big teaball basket was too big to fit in even the bigmouth canning jar I intended.  So, I brewed it in a smaller pot.

As I was sipping, I warmed one hand, for a while, putting the other hand over, out, and leaving it cold.  Then I would switch hands.  Eventually, about half way through, my hands were finally toasty!  And remain rather comfortable.

I haven't showered tonight, or yet.  May not, but I would like that.  I did get the trash out.  There might be one more load before Monday.  But, basically, trash and recycling if that is this week, are ready.  I am hoping to get a shower in yet tonight.  Maybe to bed earlier?

A bit of gaming, and a bit more soon, I think.  I am working the third of four difficulty settings.  Doing... fairly well.  In preparation for the highest difficulty.  Then, maybe, the highest difficulty, with a life limit.  If you lose your last life, in that game, that's it.  So it's a bit more of a challenge.  Getting old, not sure I am up to it.  Doom Eternal, is the game.  I'm probably too old to really be playing, but... it's... what I've got.

One thing I realized, about the former arcade games?  They have terrible controls.  Not... just now.  Someone suggested they were angry that the crossovers have such poor controls.  That is how they were made.  Nothing has changed.  Memory, for us who were around when they actually were the gaming choices available, might be corrupted.  They have made controls... better.  Usually.  Some of the dumb addictive parts is created by poor control calibration, which can't be improved.  Anything that delays the intent, the end, it's... a commercial product.  And, that is part of what it does, entertains through frustration.  Heck, isn't that half what I have done?  :p

I definitely know the gig.

Still, there will be complaints, and fairly.  But, like in the movie, or here on my post, or everywhere?  If you don't like it, don't play.  And, sometimes, I don't play.  But I... always entertain.  Or... that is a goal.  I put it out, either enjoy or don't.  Far fewer visitors these days.  But... that... I am surprised anyone visits.  I think some of my visitors have passed.  I do... think... of some of you.  Remaining or missing, quiet or gone.  It's been a show.  Later.
