Up late.

.

.

If after a long sleep through the day.  Calls and doorbells, barking and else, kept disturbing my sleep.  I ignored, turned off the phone, and slept.  I slept as long as I could.  Well, and warmly.

Up for supper.  Though I woke at noon, for a bit.  Had to, as the worker's boss visited to get me to sign off on the job.  I did a few things for mom.  But she was trying to badger more work out of me than I could do.  Both earlier and later.

I did what I could, was willing and able to do.  Then I just told her I was finished.  Plus, I had my own list.  Which I got started and somewhat successfully.

I set up the headset, wireless, so I can have sound for my games.  Imagine being good enough at Elden Ring that you can level a new toon from starter to 150... without sound?  I did that.  It's good to have sound.  With sound back I was willing to finish the first game and start a new game plus.  A few final details had to be finished on my main toon.  Wasn't really looking forward to new game plus, though.

I must admit?  If I had realized how things worked, I would have pushed the process through much sooner.  I had thought the difficulty would immediately be much worse.  Or even just as bad as the first cherry run.  Not so much.  It may increase later, expect that.  But getting through the first two (three, or dozen, but not main) bosses has been pretty cake.  Exploring has been much better.  So much easier, exploration, that I found something I missed the first time.  And I am happily and easily combing back through everything, not white-knuckling it like the first time... or not yet?

Much better, easier, so far.  But when they crank it up, it may become unplayable.  Still haven't beat the last dlc boss.  Not sure it is possible for normal players.  Shut it with the get gud bs.  The game is broken as far as I am concerned.  The main game is too, but at least with it, the dv's have cheater bots or players you can invite in to help... once you realize real people (non-neurotics, non-twitches) can't win it.

Though some of it may be console limits.  PC players can alter things just enough to reasonably play, finish, is my guess.  Those and some players given tweaked versions of the game.  EVERYTHING, these days, is rigged.  Was the NBA just caught?  Surprised the other sports haven't been "caught".  Then again, getting caught cheating, in pro sports, is just the lower tier gaming enterprises ganging up with enough clout to undo the main bet-setter... to take over or burn rather than just keep gambling like the other sicker slobs.

I have to laugh, when people have favorite teams.  Be it sports or politics.  Fake , gay, and rigged.

Then again, even games are rigged.  But... I know that.

I had to tinker with the machine, but I got the dishwasher started.  Then I went through... six or seven, maybe eight, boxes, tossing, sorting, placing, and reducing.  Ending up with five or six boxes downstairs, two or three emptied ready for else, and a few items found a right place, new home.

A bit of a break, then I took Jasmine out for a night walk.  Just around the perameter.  Plus she got to pee.  A very nice night, if I wore a warmer jacket too.  Oh, then I brought her in and around the house.  A atart.  Will be doing that more through time.  To, eventually, hopefully, letting her roam free if she can be trusted.  If only when we are home.

Mother wants to think you can trust dogs.  I know damned better.  When not home, in the cage.  I don't want her outside barking.  Surprised she, like the ducks, hasn't been butchered meanly already.  Don't want to give them too much of an opportunity.

Hmm...   A bit more gaming?  Blog reading?  Or just on back to bed?  No, I need to come down a bit.  Not much work, but more than the last week or two.  Good night, though.
