Tetchy Rosa is tetchy
Jul. 2nd, 2024 09:36 pmI used to get very frustrated very easily but that's really calmed down the last few years. Standing in queues used to make my blood boil, sometimes - now I just go all zen, let it all go... But yesterday and today I've been really spikey. Yesterday was work shenanigans, today was the poor husband.
He has this thing where he'll ask the most random questions. Tonight (after several other questions) was - if someone from Turkey gained British citizenship, would they spell Turkey the way we do, or as Turkiye? I mean... how do I answer that?! I said I thought they'd continue to spell it the way they had all their life - I mean, their heritage is what it is, right? If I gained French citizenship, I'd still say I grew up in the UK, not Royaume-Uni. Or would I? After all, I'd want to fit in...
Anyway, I got annoyed by it. I was tired, I wanted to chill after work and before evening prayer - and I didn't want random questions!!!
I've been sleeping pretty well, but this morning I turned the alarm off - then zonked out for another 45 minutes. I guess I needed the sleep but it didn't help my mood that I was in a rush getting ready.
I found that someone had done a speed run of Tunic - 25 minutes for a (normally) 12-15 hour game. It was watched by the game's devs, who were not only impressed but commented that the player had done things they'd tried and couldn't do, or that they hadn't thought of. Some things received a comment along the lines of - that's going in the next patch! But most things they seemed happy with. I do think that player has spent far too long playing the game overall, though, to be able to exploit it like that. But kudos to them.
Eldest grandson made it onto the plane to Greece - he'll be landing soon, I think. I hope he has the time of his life. I hope he comes home safe.
I am definitely heading for an earlier night, tonight.
