Taylor's birthday!
Sep. 19th, 2022 10:04 pmHappy birthday to my younger sibling!
We had a pretty good, pretty lazy day.
Spent a good part of the day reading - we've gotten almost the whole way through Spelunking Through Hell. Maybe about 1/4 of it to go? (Plus the novella at the end.)
We also played more Nier: Replicant. We finished ending B last night, which is more or less the same as ending A (except we get to see the shades' dialogue, including the shade possessing [spoiler.]) The game now promises that if we collect all of the weapons in the game, we get to make a choice that impacts the ending, so I'm looking forward to finding out what that is, haha. This is very much a speed run this time around - we've done almost all the side quests (with one that we said fuck it on, and made peace with not 100%ing it), we've done the optional text explorations of Kaine and Emil's pasts, we've seen the additional scenes adding context for the shades, etc. So other than a few new scenes, and getting the weapons - we were missing, we think, three of them, and have gotten two so far - we can pretty much just try to blow through the plot stuff as fast as possible.
The shade dialogue still makes this very hard on me, as Being Mean Is Not Nice, ha.
We went to a used-and-new bookstore and browsed for a bit. Regrettably I found things I wanted, and I bought them. :(
Mom made meatballs for Taylor's birthday dinner, which was very delicious. Also a peach pie! Very excellent, though I definitely ate too much.
Unfortunately, I'm still painfully tired... I didn't sleep great on the loveseat, and when I did, had mildly distressing dreams. Bleh. Maybe tonight will be better.
