Saturday - Sniff

=== Thoughts ===

I spilled water on my PC last night, by pure kak-handed accident. I thought it was fine, gave it a clean, made sure it was dry.

Alas.

So I'm down a PC the day after losing my job. I'm trying not to feel cursed right now, but honestly it's pretty difficult. Sigh.

=== Media ===

I'm a big fan of the Persona franchise, and Metaphor: ReFantazio was one of my favourite games last year, but the older games have always eluded me. I've owned DDS for decades, and I think the first time I played it I was potentially too young to understand it. Either way, I'm enjoying it now. Metaphor's combat system really helped this game stick. Plus, Shoji Meguro is on absolutely top form.

I played FFXVI when it first came out, and I remember having a good time with it. You can tell it shares a lot of its DNA with an MMO, and there are times when that really hurts it, but the combat system is snappy and deep.

That said, my qualms about the narrative haven't changed. It's still... fine, with some... less fine bits. All propped up by some excellent performances and music.
