Very strange morning.

.

.

I left everything open.  And, left the door to the downstairs open.  With fans going, I think everywhere.  I woke a bit late this morning, if only from heat?  So, it was a rough wake.  The heat, if it get to the mid 70s, will keep me asleep until it forces me to wake up, it's... an odd thing.  Anyway, so it was 75/77, warmer near me.

I figured it would be blazing hot out, given those temps, this relatively early.  The downstairs was only 72/73 though?  I checked.  Nope, 68 outside.  Why in the world is it so warm up there?  That's just not... how it usually works.  But, okay.  Now, true, usually I don't have the door open, between downstairs and up.  But I would have thought that would have improved air flow, thus cool, even upstairs.  Guess not.

More?  It rained, sometime last night.  Or this morning really.  I think I was to bed around three to five?  Can't be sure.  Was running later than I wanted.  Trying to figure out where to go in this f'ing game.  It leaves no real hints.  Not sure if I am finding puzzles I am supposed to, but failing, to solve.  If there is a turn I am supposed to take.  Looking for signs, reading the missions, looking at the map, nothing.  And the place is sprawling, with pretty much free reign to go almost everywhere nearly right off the bat.  F'ing games like this.  I can survive, on easy, finally.  But, now to figure out how to get anywhere, find anything.  Assholes.  It is a good game, save for that flaw.  Oh, and perpetually respawning enemies, who seem to get stronger, and add types, depending on your level.  On normal easy that would have been completely untenable for a noob non-player.  Someone fresh to games would have rage quit in ten minutes.

I am usually really good with finding my way around.  But this whole complex is a) labyrinthic in nature, b) fairly large, with many levels on each "level", c) and it changes shape, with doors and passages being created, changed, or removed at certain queues.  I am not even certain that changes are localized.  Changes may happen on other levels.  Wouldn't surprise me with this game.  And, as mentioned, they use grayscale to show the different levels.  But when overlayed, you can't tell which you are on, and there is no guide to suggest which level is up or down.

I can see why they didn't advertise this game.  It's not for any but the real nerdy types.  Give it to an autistic, and there is your baby sitter for a couple of months.  Or weeks.  If they don't break the controller, console, or aren't generally violent to stimuli.  Yeah, I think I can be on that spectrum, just not far into it.  Rarely violent, then again, headsets and controllers are expensive, and I have to replace them out of my money, and I'm cheap, so... violence?  expense?  Choose.  After a few... spending episodes, I... have backed it off.  :p

Still nicely cool down here.  Coffee and gaming.  Then a shower, brushing, and such.  Trash and recycling out today.  And clothes washed, in prep for the appointment.  I think the suv is full, of gas, mostly.  But I'll try to get out, just to... get used to driving again, soon.  And, I need to push day back, a bit, at least for a few days.  Ugh.  Later.  

Sassy didn't sleep with, near, or on me, that I know of.  And, usually that would wake me, and I would pet her and scratch her favored itches around the ears, neck, and back.  But, no.  She was up there though.  As with every woman I have ever known, she opened some of the curtains, just a bit.  It's... how they do.  When my mom's didn't (try to) just order me out of bed, that is how they would do too.  Passive aggressive.  They want me awake because they are awake.  That is how women do.  Cat, human, mother, lover, sister, friend.  It's... a woman thing.  And they wonder why they are always getting ridden.  Stand out, you will get picked.  Ha!

Yeah, I... won't ever grow up, fully.  And, half of it is because of women.  You... do it to yourselves, and us?  I think so.  :p
