The headache has passed for the most part, and now we may return to working on the apartment.

This week has been eventful.
I’ve played more Wind Waker and I believe I’m near the end of the game; I’ve gotten almost all of the heart pieces and treasure charts. I probably would have finished by now but my cat is a menace and I got to learn that my GPU wasn’t aquatic. I hope that my new graphics card is waterproof and that no other parts of my computer becomes SpongeBob’s new neighbor.
On a better note I also played Teardown, I’m absolutely delighted with it, I thought I would get bored with the puzzles, but just about the time I’m getting sick of one mission type it changes things up with a new location or goal, it was also surprisingly fun realizing that instead of going around everything you can just remove it with anything from your sledgehammer to just a chunk of a wall. Also the game is beautiful, the lighting is great and it’s extremely fun to watch objects made of voxels crumble.
Brengle says we will have to override the security for the MOST-top-secret-labratory at three different consoles that have the proper clearance.

In the comments of the previous strip, I said, “In hindsight, the ideal thing would have been to cast Aragorn as a dumb, distracted stoner. He spends about half of the movie blinking very, very slowly. I can come up with a shot of him looking baked or mouth-open stoopid in just about any scene. I should make a “I am so high” montage out of all these shots.“
The amount of screen time he spends in a vacant stare or a prolonged blink is sort of alarming. I’ve come to think of him as Stareagorn.

This week I’m emulating Wind Waker. This is my first time playing it, and I can see why it’s a lot of people’s favorite, it has a lot of quality of life improvements compared to Ocarina along with the combat feeling a lot smoother, Ocarina is probably still my favorite but I think that’s mostly just the nostalgia talking.
What are you guys playing?
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
What did web browsers look like 20 years ago, and what kind of crazy features did they have?
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
I really thought one thing, but then something else. There's a bunch more to it, but you'll have to read the article.
A breakdown of how this game faltered when the franchise was given to a different studio.
Ever wonder how seemingly sane people can hate popular games? It can happen!
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
