    Was I having a good time? Was I yakking away the hours with close
    friends? Was I gaming? No, I was cleaning my house. I hate being at an
    age now where I'm genuinely yearning to hoover the carpet because I
    never get to do it.

    Play:
    --=--

    Kemco RPG Selection Vol 1 (PS5) - Well, I have the disc now. Delayed
    from March, this is a collection of four modern 16-bit styled games that
    were previously only available on other platforms. There's a PS4 disc
    too if you're mad or cheap. Hoping they do the other six (!) volumes in
    short order.

    Playstation 2 Modding (PS2) - Oops, the PATA-to-SATA drive adapter thing
    is exactly 2 mm too large to fit inside the snug PS2 hard drive bay,
    even if you don't use the official slider rails. Didn't get to do
    anything here either.

    Want:
    --=--

    House of the Dead 2 Remake (PS5) - But on a disc. And what I really want
    is a PS4 disc because I'm hoping that they've taken the opportunity to
    improve on the PS Move support. I don't think either of these things
    that I want will actually come to pass.

    Bin:
    -==-

    109 kg of garbage (RL) - Cleaning. I meant to put up some lights and
    stuff too and all I did was move decade-old junk mail out of my house in
    an effort to make room for DIY. That's a stupid way to spend a weekend.

    -KKC, who should have taken a day or two off work.

    Entropy, the real final boss. :-)

    Play:

    Amplitude (PS3) - it turns out that this more or less works even on,
    uh, an unusually small/quiet/slow PS3. Which is literally sat on top
    of my disused but still presumably functional PS4 that I played
    Amplitude on. Which in turn is right next to my possibly-functional
    real^Wolder PS3 that I also played Amplitude on. So clearly, this was
    a totally sensible thing to do. Anyway, I cleared Intermediate then
    did Advanced on most of the individual tracks, as well as struggling
    through a bit of Expert.

    Kemco RPG Selection Vol 1 (PS5) - Well, I have the disc now.

    For an instant I misread that as Kenco... but brewing up a blend of
    fresh coffee jokes would've been such a grind, and it's not like I
    have no filter.

    Want:

    To unlock the remaining tracks in Amplitude (yet again), including the
    third bonus track which I somehow didn't quite manage.

    Bin:

    Nothing.

    -Rus.
