Fandom procrastination
Dec. 13th, 2020 11:02 pmWow. last post was bleak, eh?
So let's do what we always do and go down the rabbit hole of fandom, shall we? (fair warning: no fic here, just what I'm currently doing).
Yes, I watched the netflix chess show like everyone else. It was excellent.
No, i do not have HBOmax so i did not binge West Wing nor will I be able to avail myself of any of the movies released there. (yay for not being a spoiler phobe).
Just watched: The Wilds on Prime.
conclusion: excellent. some parts were a tad on the melodramatic side, but as a look at a group of teen girls stranded on a island goes it was intriguing and satisfying.
Fallen back into: Elementary.
Wow the first 8 episodes of this show always strike me as such perfection in world building and character building. I mean, it takes a while to go downhill, but my main memory of this series is how in the last 3 seasons I would fall asleep within 15 minutes of it being on. I'm not saying because it was boring but it was something to do with the cadence of the language and the stories. So while battling some serious stress messed sleep, i put it on from the beginning expecting that to hit and ..... yeah, those first 8 episodes don't have that cadence. And surprise, i don't remember every plot point from a procedural that first aired 8 years ago. (which actually it is, because normally that shit is fused in my brain. so either i didn't watch all of these, or age is kicking in).
Gaming: AC Valhalla. Which I appreciate for not being in the vein of the original AC (i got into with Odyssey) because I suck at stealth. I mostly dislike how the new mechanics have made the bird view USELESS. I love going insane killing things with 2 axes. I still think the plot of the entire series is a little bit too much JJ Abrams and Damon Liendeloff lost on a bad acid trip.
Cyberpunk 2077 mostly out of boredom since we aren't getting Mass Effect remastered till next year. Ehhhhh..... It has some fun stuff. But on ps4 its pretty buggy. i'm worried at some point there's going to be GTA like driving missions and the driving in cyperpunk is craptastic.
