Play:

Oekaki Puzzle (PS1) - some more puzzles on this.

Want:

Nothing.

Bin:

Having to guess on another OP puzzle. Apparently this is (or can be)
an alternative style of nonogram to the strict logic-only kind you get
in e.g. the Nintendo/Jupiter Picross games, but you have to wonder if
the developers were really taking that approach intentionally in this
case. And I can't say I'm keen on it either way.

Play:

Air Conditioning Repair (RL) - Apparently one go-round in March wasn't
enough, so I had to do it again yesterday and today. I didn't realise
until just now that I technically didn't get any sleep from all of the
late night diagnosis I was doing. The worst case scenario was a failing
fan (priced at about $900 or so) but it turned out to be only a
capacitor (for a somewhat more reasonable $350). I need a nap now.

Nintendo Switch Updates (NSW) - Let's plug all my cartridges into the
OLED Switch so that I can download the game updates because you can't
just transfer those from an existing console for some reason. And now
let's not play any of those games because I have Toby's disease, where I
just set up the circumstances whereby play can happen and then never
actually let it happen.

Want:

Moar thyme - I did get enough gaming in earlier in the week to have
things to discuss on the podcast this month, but I am beat from hot
weather and anxiety.

Bin:

The Expenditure section this week, as I didn't buy anything and I can't
be arsed to look up my current spend for the year.

-KKC, zzzzz.

Play:

Horizon Chase Turbo (Switch) - A mate let me know it was on sale so
thought I'd give it a punt as it was only a few quid. Quite impressed
how it's nailed the sweet spot between Outrun 2, Daytona and Ridge
Racer. A bit silly, clean crisp graphics and good fun!

Want:

To feel like I want to play Zelda TotK. Every follow up to a major Zelda
game in the same hardware generation (e.g. Majora, Twilight Princess) I
don't seem to enjoy that much, and the same seems to have happened with
TotK. I *know* it's an awesome game, but I just can't get into it as obsessively as I did BotW.

Bin:

Cancer. One friend hopefully in remission and an ex-colleague now in a
really bad way. Neither of them deserve this shit.

Reddit. Deleted all my useful content and now I'm sniffing around
usenet and Lemmy.

Play:

Barely anything lately - just the daily rogule and sumpletes, really.
Tiny bit of TotK, but I'm at the entrance to what's widely mentioned as
the worst temple and I need to gird my loins and get on with it.

Want:

Pikmin 4 is the only incoming thing I'm really into.

Bin:

Having enough energy to chat about gamey things, but not enough to play
any.

Cheers - Jaimie
