The constant urge to not rate the day's album but rather its inclusion in the book called "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".

#tonightinvideogames | I suppose it would be even better to only ever need a first try, but to eviscerate *that* enemy after picking up your shit (*runes) never gets old.

It's still Elden Ring. Our heroine is standing in a field, up high on some mountain, surrounded by jagged cliffs. In front of her, the corpse of a slain golden knight, another dead body a bit further in the distance.

The Fashion Ring aspect needs some work, but this feels good. #tonightinvideogames

Screenshot from Elden Ring: the heroine silhouetted against a red sky, bits of ruins and gnarly trees peek out from fog. She's got a katana sword in one hand, a mage's staff in the other and some abomination of a large two-faced stone helmet on her head. Which doesn't pair well with the equally weird, circa bloody ripcage armour.

Pretty sure there was a point where the editors had ran out of classic rock, 60s-jingle-jangle and 80s post-punk and wondered "shouldn't we have new music, too?" and just threw whatever had accolades (i.e. a Mercury Prize or nomination) in there. Glad they did so with the Kiwanuka!

Haven't updated you on my adventures in Sekiro (or anything else, really) for quite a while, #tonightinvideogames: my cool progress has grinded to a halt. Must have killed this guy 25 times by now (if you know you know) and here's to another 25, probably!
