Oops, a bit late! Oh well ha. Not a whole lot went on this week… Still doing various wedding tasks and continuing to make sure the two kittens settle in nicely.

They did have a vet appointment this week (just a general check-up plus some kitten shots) but they did way better than I thought they would! We couldn’t go into the vet’s with them, but apparently they were very friendly and sweet. The “worst” they did was Butternut purring too much to do a proper heart check and Honeybear stealing and dashing off with a churru wrapper lol. We’ve been letting them explore the rest of the apartment too (instead of keeping them just to their kitten room) and they like dashing around like two crazy hooligans. Only problem is they sometimes like to chew cords… We were able to block off access to some of them, but we still need to figure out what to do about any other loose cords hanging about.

Overall, I’d say they’re settling in very well :)

And now for the game updates!

Progress Updates

Astro’s Playroom

Astro’s Playroom is pre-loaded onto the PS5, so I thought I mind as well check it out once I got my PS5 all set up! No regrets here! It’s just a really fun, chill, and cheerful platformer that showcases the capabilities of the PS5 controller and celebrates Playstation in general. It’s pretty short and doesn’t have that many levels, but there’s a pretty good variety here and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. I also went ahead and got the platinum plus the add-on trophies, cause why not! Only one that was a bit of a pain was to get a under a certain time for the speedrun challenges. One of those challenges was a huge pain just to even finish (I kept dying over and over again ugh) and was definitely where I struggled the most.

Overall, I’d highly recommend playing this if you have a PS5! I mean, it’s included with the console and it’s a good time, so why not?

Everybody’s Golf

Continuing to plug away at my golf rank… It’s gotten very slow at this point, so it often feels very repetitive. There just doesn’t feel like that much variety in courses for how many times I need I do them!

Well, at least I’m getting close to the end of ranking up, as I’m almost done with Rank 5. Once I’m at Rank 6, I will only need to rank up one more time and then I can work on some of the other trophies! I’ll still have to do the same courses for some of them, but at that point I won’t need to use Serious Mode anymore (which increases the difficulty of your opponent and gives more EXP, making ranking up faster).

Soul Hackers

No progress.

Trails in the Sky FC

Didn’t get much of a chance to play it this week, so I’ve only barely started. I got a short intro of the world & starting characters, did some tutorial stuff, got into the Bracer’s guild, and that’s basically it. Not much else I can say at this point, but I’m looking forward to continuing with the game.

Backlog Update

Backlog: 1576 (+19)
Time to Beat: 34,368 hrs (-266 hrs)

Not much to say here other than wow, Dead by Daylight really shaved off a ton of hours! Not really interested in multiplayer focused games, and I’m not even sure what would count as beating the game anyway, so it was an easy game to remove lol.

And that’s it! Hopefully I make some more progress on those RPGs! I suspect that I might start Horizon Zero Dawn though (cause I really want to play it lol), so I guess we’ll see how it goes lol.
