Redwind week5/2024

A slow week? A slow week. A very slow, slow week.

Games

Still mostly just trying to finish the Shogun variant of “Kingdom: Two Crowns”, and I get the feeling it doesn’t help much that I mostly play it on my iPhone while laying in bed and falling asleep – since I do exactly that: Fall asleep. Only to wake up next morning to a fresh character, back on island 1, since I died again. Well, at least that’s certainly one way to expand on the play time, and additionally this may also confirm that this game is sure a very chill one.

Also just saw a bit earlier that currently “Red Faction Guerrilla: Remarstered” was on sale for about 3 bucks on the eShop and just couldn’t resists. Played it back on the 360, so I’ll be looking forward to some fine destruction soon again. Expect crushing updates maybe next week.

Cineast

A lot of people say “bonding is important”, so I did just that – sat down with a friend and watched some Bond. “Casino Royal” it was this time, since she hadn’t seen it yet and I was totally in the mood to give it a rewatch. And what can I say: Still as entertaining as ever and possible my personal favourite Bond movie. Not that I haven’t seen it about 30-40 times by now, but it seems like I’m very much in a comfy mood lately anyway, so that fit perfectly. I still have to watch that latest entry with Craig, though, so hopefully we’ll see about that soon.

Music

Mostly just back to the desk with my own stuff – and making some very, very good progress. If it continues like that, I’ll probably release that album soon’ish. After all, I’ve been working on that beast for almost a year now. But I can admit: Sent around a few previews for a couple of songs and so far only getting back positive feedback – and I certainly really like what I’m hearing here, so there’s that!
