Not where I am, but the UK is getting ice and snow warnings. Because
people don't understand how seasonal weather works or something.

Play:

Dariusburst CS Core Taito+Sega Pack (NSW) - Received some 18 months
after the order was initially sent to Strictly Limited. It's not really
their fault, but it's not a good look. So I'm not sure what I was
expecting, but it sure wasn't 'Here's a level of Darius Burst but with
Sega sprites and Sega sound effects in place of all the regular Darius
assets' so colour me both surprised and just a little bit underwhelmed.
Wish they'd do a PS5 disc.

Want:

Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection (PS5) - Amazon seems to have gotten
wise to my scheme to stop ordering from them so they have spitefully
notified me that I won't get the disc until four days after the launch
date, and did so just as they charged my credit card. Fine, have your
little victory for it will not change the outcome.

Nothing game-related.

At times it feels like we hardly even have seasonal weather any more.
Probably the varying alerts could just be replaced with a generic
"seasonal weather actually happening" one.

Play:

Gran Turismo 4 (PS2) - a bit more of the actual-racing approach, with
the direct manual control of the cars and everything. I also suffered
the great joy of getting the International B licence, so now I can
do... two more Pro events that way. Totally rational to require
passing 16 different challenges (in addition to 32 previous ones)
before letting the player do those except in B-Spec.

Want:

Lego Horizon Adventures at some point, just for the sheer absurdity of
the idea if nothing else. In that sense it seems oddly appropriate
that I'd be more likely to get this on PC or even Switch than PS5.

Lego Lego Star Wars, which can clearly only be a matter of time now.

Bin:

Referencing silliness both positively and negatively in the same post.
There's just no pleasing some people. (Or at least, not consistently.)
