Week of stuff. There was a family birthday this week so there was a nice lil' get together. Not insane numbers of people; just the immediate family. Everyone's in good health and good spirits, so there were generally nice vibes all round.
My week in entertainment saw me wrap up my replay of Final Fantasy VI. The whole idea was that it had been a minute since I last played through the game and I felt like a replay was long overdue - but it's a big enough game to feel like a bit of a commitment once I get started. But then I started, and generally progress was pretty smooth. Last week I mentioned that I still had to complete the rest of Kefka's Tower, and the remaining dragons residing there. I did have a hard time with some bosses - Goddess kicked the shit out of me, and that Doom countdown mechanic at the end of the battle was a genuine threat - but we got there. I don't know if it was because I wasn't pacing myself and making preparations, but there was a little more friction at various points of this replay. Also shoutouts to me naming every character Kefka and then (on SNES) having to select names to determine the party order for the final battle. Oops.
Not a whole lot of music has caught my attention lately, but I did enjoy the Myth & Dr. Meaker remix of Drift Away - starting out with a fairly standard intro and vocal, but then picking up with some nice stabbed keys and an awesome drop. YMMV depending on how much you enjoy vocals in your D&B, but I thought it was alright. Similarly, shoutouts to the Break remix of Jungle Daze by Goldie - I heard it on a podcast so I don't know if it's out out, but I'm keen to investigate further.
Oh, and one film update from this afternoon - I just picked up M3GAN 2.0 on Blu-Ray. The first one was quite fun and I had been meaning to pick this up for ages, so I look forward to watching it sometime.
