5 things makes a post

[sideways]

1) An open comment-fic spree is underway! Still one of my favourite forms of fandom jamming, even if I'm not much of a contributor.

2) Bantam visited over Easter, had lots of fun. We dedicated a day (and a bit) to a Lord of the Rings marathon, supported by a respectably Hobbit-y succession of munchies.

3) Federal election this weekend. I am nervously biting my fingernails and hoping the Teal movement from last time doesn't turn out to be a one-time fluke. The conservatives have been working hard to portray them as hippie greenie Trojan horses.

4) Why the devil is the Oblivion remaster some 124GB? Truly I peaked in my gaming when I was simply playing third hand A-grade titles a decade after they were cool.

5) I'm sick to death of listening to myself complain about work, so I simply Shan't. We're working from home for a couple of weeks while the office move is underway, and I do appreciate the opportunity to have a lie-down during the day.

I have just about fallen out of my chair at the size of some remastered games from the '90s. Then again, originally some of them shocked me at how many floppy disks came in the box, so maybe it's appropriate.

Did the graphics really need to be bass-boosted that much? I would have been perfectly happy with an upgrade to Skyrim standard which was, yanno, 12GB.

I was absolutely boggling at how long Oblivion took to install. Can’t wait for it to chug to a halt as soon as I exit the sewers!

LOTR marathon with Hobbit munchies sounds Ideal, tbh.

(Also, second congrats re: politics!!)

124GB is as big as BG3! Remaster or not, IT'S NOT THAT COMPREHENSIVE A GAME.

We mostly confirmed it is not really possible to eat as many meals as a hobbit in one day but we gave it a good crack.
