Aw but it's on Steam
And not free...
*finds a place that has a free download*
And it's 60 GB and requires warfare
Oh well, looks nice, though

Hey, Atto! 
Hope you're feeling well again.
I do think your aversion to Steam is a little misplaced, Charlotte. Out of all the launchers that get forced onto us it's by far the least intrusive. Ubisoft constantly requires logins, sometimes twice, Epic is terribly slow, Rockstar loves to reinstall itself and the Social Club, forcing me to do those traffic light Captchas, and Bethesda? Yeah, let's just forget about that one.
Meanwhile Steam just chugs away in the background and because you can buy Steam cards in the shops you don't even have to give them your bank details.

I don't really dislike Steam. It's just that I already have Epic and GOG and I don't really want one more, plus I'm annoyed that I bought a game on GOG that I can only mod if I have it on Steam and I don't want to buy it AGAIN.

So... Yesterday my Stranded Deep session ended with drowning. And it's always boring to replay things... But I just started the game up again, managed to maneuver my raft to the right position (the rafts you build either drift one way super slow or speed in the opposite direction at high speed, so it's a bit tricky...). I jump into the water and hear the sound of Merlin crunching on a light bulb. 
I think he's OK though. It was one of those small ones for the advent candelabras I bought Sunday. Thank you Merlin for these three days of Holiday cheer. Anyway I think I managed to gather up most of the pieces. He might have swallowed some minute ones though, so I hope the glass isn't sharp... *worried*
And also, I panicked when I tried to pause the game and interrupt real life events, and drowned.
Edit: And googling the issue it seems it's not entirely unusual for cats to do this.
Edit2: And now he attacked my computer screen. Apparently the Stranded Deep Main Menu background looked very threatening. (I's a sea view with an island in the background.... it seemed Merlin thought the island was something dangerous and swatted it.)

Eating bulbs, or sabotaging gameplay? I have experienced the latter on many occasions, so I'm leaning towards that.Edit: And googling the issue it seems it's not entirely unusual for cats to do this.

Eating christmas lights...
Also, 50% of the advice says RUSH TO PET ER
and the other 50% says wait and see if the cat seems to be in pain or if there's any blood anywhere...
Meanwhile Merlin is running around my feet playing football with a small ball of crumpled metal foil... He seems fine.
