1. Favourite colour: blues but also greens, if I absolutely had to choose it would probably be #008080 2. Currently reading: Henry by Florian Gottschick (12 year old Henriette aka Henry accidentally gets kidnapped and refuses to escape given the chance)

3. Last song you listened to: Topukla by Athena

4. Last series you watched: just started watching My Life is Murder S02 today before work (I love how chill it is). Also yesterday I watched a couple episodes of the Alex Rider series which was surprisingly good (I found the books mediochre which might be because I was already an adult when I read them and I thought the Stormbreaker movie was quite bad but the series actually does a good job getting across how much Alex'd prefer to have a normal life while still making his choices believable and I also like that they included Tom early on because Alex needs friends)

just finished Horizon Zero Dawn. Took me about 160 hours because I kept getting distracted from the main quest by all the sidequests, and then I kept getting distracted from the sidequests by all the possibilities just roaming the world and hunting both machines and animals. Somehow though I still have many missing textdatapoints to find and a handful of other data - maybe I'll look them up and collect them at some point, I'd definitely be interested in reading even more stuff. (Just before I started the final battle, I went hunting for awhile to stock up on resources, and randomly found a datapoint sitting in some water - if all the others are as randomly strewn across the world I'm not surprised I've only found a few)

8 songs, 8 people

tagged by: @lovecanbesostrange

RULES: answer the 8 song prompts, then tag 8 people

1. favorite song at the moment: Probably "Hauch mich mal an" by Das Lumpenpack I don't listen to music a lot, but I like this song enough to have bought the entire album "Eine herbe Enttäuschung", which contrary to the title is absolutely not a bitter disappointment. It's all thanks to @famburasch-sohn-des-partram sharing a link to their concert stream at the very beginning of the pandemic :D

2. a song you associate with your favorite ship: Not a shipper, not very into music, so I have no answer to this.

3. a song that could be about you: "Sunshine" by Cosmo Jarvis (it hasn't even been warm for that long this year but I'm already sick of it - thankfully today it rained when I rode my bike back home so I could cool off a little)

4. a song you think is overrated: I honestly can't think of one, because when I'm not actively interested in the music that's playing it pretty much just goes in one ear and leaves out the other without leaving a lasting impression.

5. a song that reminds you of a good memory: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum - they're my uncles favourite band and when they performed near where my mum lives he invited us to go

6. the last song you listened to: "Gay Pirates" by Cosmo Jarvis - one of the songs that are pretty much always in my playlist, because so far I've never felt like I wanted to skip it, when it came on. This one @pneu-monie recommended to me ages ago and I've since bought several of Cosmo Jarvis' albums.

7. a song that makes you laugh: "The Hotdog Man" by Tripod (or pretty much any of their other songs), "Prejudice" by Tim Minchin, "Malcolm" by The Arrogant Worms (and several other songs), "Der Pinguin" by Die Blutjungs (and also many more) - there's probably more because I like comedic music, but I'm gonna stop myself there xD

8. a song you want your mutuals to listen to: "Grandaddy" by Alex Horne & The Horne Section (ok, I lied, I didn't actually stop myself, I just moved one of the other song's that make me laugh to question 8)

JUST FINISHED HZD ON ULTRA HARD

and holy shit that endfight was TOUGH! When I started playing the story I checked multiple times whether I had actually chosen ultra hard because thanks to New Game + I already had all the weapons and the highest Level, so it was pretty easy most of the time. I did die here and there along the way, but that was usually due to not paying that much attention to the healthbar (because the machines weren't that much harder to kill, I kinda forgot that they were much stronger so getting hit by them was much worse for Aloy) and one time because I'd forgotten that I wasn't doing the cauldrons and therefore obviously couldn't override all the machines xD.

I'd stocked up on ammo and some healing items but was still woefully underprepared for the final fight on my first try. Maybe it's simply because both the fight against Helis and the one on the Spire happen in such cramped spaces and stealth is absolutely no option. Died so many times in both parts and even got a Game Over for running out of time on the Spire once. I didn't have a problem with the middle bit where you repeatedly shoot Petra's experimental weapon at waves of approaching machines though.

Anyway so after I got checkpointed on the Spire without any health items left and getting more and more frustrated I aborted the mission and spent a bunch more hours hunting boars and other game. Also bought some Adept weapons (only to find out that the Adept Sharpshot Bow isn't as good as the Banuk Powershot, so I didn't even need it - didn't want to go to the Cut to get the Adept Powershot though) which helped a bit. The Adept Blast Sling did considerably more damage than the normal one, the Adept Tripcaster is great in theory but I never got the time to use it in the heat of battle.

On my second try the bit with Helis felt even tougher than the first time around, but after many tries I made it through again. The bit after that felt harder than on my first try as well, but I did make it without dying. And then the Spire. Died again and again and again because of all the chaos, felt like I came pretty close a couple of times but died again. Then FINALLY managed to get the Deathbringer's health down enough to explode one of its guns and got excited in a sort of pessimistic way xD - at that point I had a small handful of the smaller healing potions left and a tiny amount of herbs - I did my best to avoid the attacks, managed to actually chug some small potions when necessary and then blew up the Deathbringer's other gun. There were 46 seconds left on the clock, my heart was racing and my hands were shaking slightly. I only had like two herbs worth of healing power left, but I managed to chuck a few more bombs at the Deathbringer and it collapsed. Didn't even believe it at first because I must have tried to get to that point about 30 or 40 times by then.

Anyway, great game, would recommend, but if - like me - you're more in it for the story, I'd say play on normal or even easy difficulty, because ultra hard mode may be bad for your blood pressure XD

@vaulties​ tagged me to rank fanfic tropes. Since I barely ever read fanfic, I had to look up some of these, Also I ranked most of them based on books/films/tv shows that contain similar tropes, rather than actual fanfics (big reason why all the AUs are in the don’t really care for them but don’t hate them either slot xD actually, now that I think about it some more, the historical AU should probably be up a little higher, since I did like the Xena episodes that take place in different times from the main story xD)

I somehow managed to forget that this morning (despite thinking about it a couple weeks back when it was ten years since I’d moved to this island) but got a very friendly reminder when my boss gave me a lemon cake with sparklers on it. And a giftcard for the travel agency I frequent to buy my train tickets. And a raise. And the choice to either have her take me (and the rest of the crew: her husband, her mother and another colleague) out to a restaurant after work or have a barbecue at her mother’s house. I chose the barbecue (it was a very hot day so sitting in a garden sounded better to me than sitting in a restaurant)

My dreams are often very elaborate and sort of cinematic (but being dreams they obviously have the most glaring plotholes and are riddled with continuity errors)

So, last week. Saturday I got stuck playing Crashlands and when I stopped it was 4am on Sunday. I was tired but somehow managed to stay awake til around 7:30.

When I finally went to sleep, I had this dream where I was at some kind of party. I’d never been to the house before, so I didn’t know where to find anything. A kid offered to show me where to get something to drink, so I went with them. We went downstairs to a very clean and light cellar of some sort, and the kid ran back upstairs as soon as I got a bottle of soda. They told me, that nobody should stay down in that cellar longer than they had to, and were obviously very scared. But I was quite tired, so I sat down at a table (by then the cellar had turned into a kitchen) poured me a glass of soda, put my head on the table, and fell asleep.

When I started dreaming, I was still sitting at that table in the downstairs kitchen, but I was no longer alone. Freddy Krueger was sitting opposite me, and I guess he tried to scare me, but I wasn’t having any of that. I don’t really remember, what we talked about, but I do remember that I used a very condescending tone and kept calling him Frederick. I think I may have berated him for ‘waking me up’, even though at the same time it was clear to me that I was dreaming.

Anyway, I was still tired, so at some point I chose to just ignore Freddy, and went to sleep, again head on the table. I did start to dream again, though I can’t remember any of it. When I woke back up, I found myself back in Freddy’s realm, so I was still asleep. He sat next to me, and I was cuddled up to him and he told me I must have had a nightmare and tried to console me, at which point I woke up back into the party environment. The kid from before had come back and called for me, probably scared because I hadn’t come back up.

Before I went back upstairs to join the party, I saw Freddy’s Hat sitting on the chair opposite to mine, which gave me goosebumps.
