Just noodling really
Mar. 15th, 2025 06:04 pmToday my only achievement has been noticing I wasn't having much fun playing Wrath of the Righteous and stopping.
I started Inevitable Excess on Core difficulty with Angelica the gold dragon from my last play through. Core is a smidge higher difficulty than I was playing her at. It is entirely unforgiving of error. On the other hand, I have a giant stash of diamonds and Daeran Arendae, so my errors last as long as it takes to cast Resurrection. Which probably isn't much fun for the characters but thus far works.
I think I want a new story. But I want a new Pathfinder story, and they haven't made that for the computer yet.
... still sad about Kingmaker being so shonky, it was so good as a story and so utterly crashing unplayable as a console game.
Other than that I have been rereading Torchwood fanfic, ones from my bookmarks so I know I like them already. So far it has been a collection of time travel fixit fics, almost all from the set of fics that clearly and explicitly approve of polyamory. When I was reading through the Jack/Ianto fics I found a lot that thought Jack needed fixing so he'd be monogamous, and a few absolute nightmares that think Ianto being his One True Love is a great ending. Those ones are fans of different characters with the same name, and have a wildly different idea of how things work to me. Five billion years of story to fill in, I think they'd have more fun with more dances.
So far the fic I've been reading was from before Big Finish got their hands on them.
There is a lot a lot a lot going on in Big Finish that sort of decides how to interpret characters and then fills in... something ever approaching all the days we didn't see.
Makes stories that are simply TV canon compliant feel like half a conversation even though that's what we usually mean by canon.

Ah well, this is quite long for not many thoughts, I'll go do something else.
