started playing assassin's creed valhalla, because i really enjoyed odyssey, and im finding it a very different game in terms of the mechanics. skill tree is much more difficult to parse and thus builds are harder to have. i'm a little miffed that i am penalized for killing priests while raiding.
Tonight's movie night movie will be, "Raising Arizona (1987)." This is another one none of us has seen for some reason. I guess it's time to remedy that!
@bigzaphod in case you weren’t aware, Fiasco (the game) was designed to capture the feel of being in one of their films, and everyone agrees that it’s amazing to play.
Also, we now know what caused those trails in the silt that I posted a week or so ago.
Now we really want to get rid of the beaver because as I filmed Ted making her way back into the pond it was clear that the silt built was a significant problem for her.
I went and checked on it. it is mostly good. It does not appear creatures have tried to get in. There is a little gap that I need to address but my back really hurts right now so hopefully I can do that later today.
