Gaming

I just tried playing Calico, "the cute cat cafe game". 1st, annoying music that can't be turned off. 2nd ugly customization options and 3rd some sort of fake voices for when the characters talk that was extremely annoying - even worse than the music.

Uninstalled.

I think I am done with my current GamePass and therefore with Hogwarts too.
Didn't get to the end of any of the stories. Frustratingly a new part of the map opened up last night and I haven't been able to explore that either as I fast travel and fly to the important places. I almost got to the fourth Trial but the main quest list says there's a few more after that so I think I need to stop. I think I may have been just one quest away from finishing the poachers storyline, I'd hoped this one I was just doing was the last one but alas, no.
And I'm too tired to keep going at this time

So goodbye Hogwarts, that was excellent fun. Definitely my kind of game with lots of open world exploring, decent narrative/storytelling, some varied puzzles/gameplay, cats, outfits and fighting that was quite challenging without doing the punishing, timewasting difficulty that a lot of games go for these days.
But I still didn't get better with the flying controls.
Right Stick for height!!! What were they thinking?

Perhaps I'll come back and finish it sometime if I acquire another giftcard at some future date.

PS. Maybe I'll get some painting done now.

You've got half an hour to get a challenge submarine done 

I wonder what mouse and keyboard will use for height controls

I think it might be Control and something else. The keyboard commands did flash up on screen sometimes when I tried to quit the game using the mouse.

The flying will probably end up being easier with mouse and keyboard.

And I'm missing it already. I went to try and play it again earlier before remembering.

Confundo 

Stupid-fy.

Hopefully I'll eventually get around to giving it another chance...

Do you get to run around crucio-ing everyone? 

No, no, no, no.

Yes.
