Thank God it wasn't Violent Pornography ๐ (It's a song for those of you who don't listen to System of a Down).

Just accidentally played a bit of Chop Suey out FULL BLAST on the bus. I thought my headphones were connected, but they weren't ๐

Ahh that's awesome, I'm very excited! I've been playing Hades on/off for years now, it's an all time favourite of mine ๐ the fact you have all achievements is super impressive, there's some really difficult ones!

I've heard great things about them ๐

Oh wait is it not fully releasing on steam yet? (I'm not watching the direct atm, just picking up bits and pieces on the timeline!) Oh for sure, will definitely roll credits, Hades is incredible ๐
Jess ๐ (@neonrupee.bsky.social)
WHAT HADES 2 IS RELEASING THIS MONTH??? I still need to roll credits on the first game, I need to make (I think) 4 more escapes.

You see, I think I'd like to stand but definitely don't wanna get bashed around in a mosh pit haha! I'll have to see if I can even get tickets first I suppose and go from there ๐
Jess ๐ (@neonrupee.bsky.social) reply parent
Haha fair point about the fans being a little bit older these days ๐คฃ I was hoping to get up close if I stand, but definitely don't wanna get dragged into a mosh pit ๐ I'll have to have a think about it!

While I really like Sleep Tokens newest album, nothing beats Take Me Back To Eden. Absolutely adore that album.

On a scale of 1-100 how dumb would standing at a System of a Down show be? (If I go..) I'm a very average sized woman, also have a rib injury and don't have experience of metal gigs. Sitting would probably be the better option right? BUT it's in a stadium and I don't want to be miles away.

Ah it's understandable to be fair, I've definitely had similar feelings. But honestly I've seen so many people say they've loved their 30s and 40s! Haha man, the random unexplained pains started in my mid 20s, I'm ahead of the game in that regard ๐

I turn 30 at the end of the year and have been fine about it so far, but I just got a weird pang of panic when it popped into my head. Not sure why, aging is a privilege after all, but 30 feels significant.

Been getting headaches like clockwork every day for the past few days and I was like "why?!" I think it's because I usually have a second coffee around now and I've forgotten them for a few days because work's been busy. Had a coffee at the right time today aaand.. No headache so far ๐

Lmaooo I wish I was joking but.. We forgot an incredibly important item going into the last section of the game ๐ (it's just sitting in our camp storage!) Will have to reload and do it again tomorrow ๐

It's ROUGH isn't it? So much harder than HK... Either that or my motor skills have massively degraded since I last played HK ๐

I honestly can't wait hehe!! I need to experience all the character stories and do an evil run ๐ I'm not usually an "I need to play this again immediately" kinda person, but BG3 is going to be an exception. It's been amazing ๐ญ

The little red ant room? I noped TF out of there earlier today ๐ Was rough (I ended up getting through it a while ago but damn, some encounters are TOUGH!) Yesssss the diagonal pogo is wild, really fun once you start to get used to it though!!! Screw those bounce platforms in particular ๐ญ
Jess ๐ (@neonrupee.bsky.social)
Silkysong is hardddd, definitely harder than HK. I'm having such a blast dying repeatedly though ๐ Bed time for me now, but I can't wait to play more tomorrow!!! I keep having moments while playing like "holy shit.... This game is actually real and I'm playing it?!" :')

Finally caught up with the most recent season of Always Sunny (hilarious as always). Never expected to cry while watching it though, the tribute to Lynne Marie Stewart made me absolutely sob last night. Charlie's mom was such a hilarious character ๐ญ

Yeah I might do, it does look kinda fun! Is it very pay to win? I wouldn't want to spend any money on it tbh, so if I can actually play the game to earn in-game currency (similar to Genshin) I'd be more open to it!

So, is Infinity Nikki any good? Because the recent steam reviews are horrendous. Yes, yes I know "don't listen to reviews make up your own mind" etc, but... I can't ignore how many reviews are from people who have hundreds of hours and have said they actually once loved the game o.O
