Media Review: God of War Ragnarök

I picked up a used copy at GameStop a couple of months ago and put a LOT of time into it. I remember spending time looking into how to unlock all the different items and story beats in the game.

The game is huge! You can spend hours going through the story and getting to know the characters.

Now, I’m 96% done with the game. I’ve got a couple secret bosses that I can’t seam to beat but I’m pretty satisfied with how the main story has played out.

But than someone asked me “did you like this game more than the first?”

I don’t think I enjoyed this one as much and some of that is my own fault. In an effort to stay on top of all the little collectables, I saw a number of spoilers. In addition, focusing on different items to pick up in the hope that I don’t have to double back made it so I wasn’t fully engaged with the story.

Still, it’s a fun game and excellent conclusion to Kratos’s story… until they bring him back to get more money from the IP.

I saw someone on mastodon mention that the OpenAI employees could move over to Microsoft and work. It reminded me that Microsoft laid off 10k people this year. Maybe they didn’t get the message in Skype but you’re moving from one kind of instability to another.

I was in the phone with a scammer from Xfinity/Charter/AT&T/Comcast for 5 minutes and 31 seconds. That’s 5 minutes he won’t be taking from someone who doesn’t know any better.

Cleaning the home office

I’ve been put in charge of all cleaning in the house. I’m not complaining about it. I’m an adult. I’ve done this in the past.

Of course, the house is a mess.

None more so than my office area. The one place that I’m in 100% control of.

Today, I decided that I was going to finally start the rewrite of the CSS for my site. Thank you version control for giving me the confidence to break it.
