Okay, this is going to be short (probably).
Hogwarts Legacy
I got past the bit I was stuck in (yay me! 🎉). I did it by reloading the game slightly before I had the problem (I fell off a half-built bone bridge and couldn't get back up again) and then replayed it properly. Before you all roll your eyes and point out that this was the obvious solution, this is the first time I've played a game that allows multiple saves - normally you can only go back into it where you left off, so it never occurred to me to do it.
Anyway, now I'm stuck trying to get moths on a door again and it involves timing and running on moving things, which I'm absolutely crap at anyway but isn't helped by my problems with the panning thing so I keep finding that I'm going the wrong way. What this game really needs is a skip button (like the puzzle games I usually play), even if only in the Story mode that I'm playing.
It does, very helpfully, allow you to skip the lock-unlocking puzzles rather than have to faff around every time you want to unlock a new door. If I was on a higher-level version of the game (or it wasn't included in Story mode) I would get really pissed off with having to waste so much time on picking locks. Surely it would be better to do one (harder?) puzzle for each level of lock (there are 3 in total, as there seem to be 3 of everything) and once you've cracked it all the locks at that level are automatically unlocked. But no, instead, every time you find a new lock you have to go through the same puzzle.
Anyway, I was a bit disappointed to discover that I'm not going to get the highest level in the game (although I will probably still win the award for being the slowest player) as there are apparently only 40 levels and once you pass those you don't get more points etc. As I'm already well into my 20s and haven't even finished the first quest of chapter 2 yet, I think I'm going to hit the limit before I even get halfway.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad - bad, I think, as I assume the foes I have to battle get tougher at the higher level and we all know I'm totally rubbish at fighting. My brain completely forgets what and where my spells are and I just end up pressing all the buttons randomly until they all die. I really need Avada Kedavra urgently (yes, I'm a Slytherin so of course I'm going to use Unforgivable Curses). Supposedly it unlocks at level 27, but I'm pretty sure I should be like 70% of the way through the game by then and I definitely won't be. I expect I shall be level 40 before I get it.
I do know 'Q' is Protego so I throw that in every so often in case anyone's getting too close because my brain can't think about fighting and dodging at the same time (they're a different set of keys and I can't do both). I think on the Normal level I'd have died a million times by now and possibly given up completely, but fortunately, in Story mode I just have to give them a hard stare and they die 😂.
What I need to do is learn to fight with plants but that's yet another different set of keys (potions are also on there, as is the place to start flying) and I've already explained the problem there.
Anyway, I am going to try to fit in another couple of hours this evening (famous last words . . . it's normally more like 3 or 4 🙈).
Food
I'm having a 🥗 for a change 😂. My body says steak, so that's what we're going for - and it's quick and easy.
Music
I've been a good EXO fan and have been streaming Kai's Rover album on Spotify all day. I set up a playlist with loads of other good stuff in between. Z.Tao (Chinese ex-member of EXO) dropped a single today called Love Lost. I'm not sure if it's an OST from his upcoming drama or not, so I've stuck it in the March playlist for now. Verivery also sneaked out a Japanese version of Tap Tap, and Drippin released their 3-track Japanese single Hello Goodbye too, which have both also been added to the playlist.
Drama
I shall continue my ongoing watch of Warm on a Cold Night while I'm preparing and eating my dinner.
Birthday
Today is the birthday of another of my kids (I have loads, I'm like the old Mother Hubbard of K-pop 😂) - Jihoon, who is the joint leader (along with Choi Hyunsuk) of the wonderful Treasure.

Okay, so that was longer than I expected, mainly thanks to the Hogwarts Legacy rant. Let's see if I can keep up the streak tomorrow.
