Wanted to play something on the good ol' 360 for a change, but apparently something is broken(?)
Power brick starts orange, turns green for a second after I push the power button, then finally goes back to orange. XBox power button goes from green to red in a second; obviously it doesn't start up. No error code either (the four quarter circle lights surrounding the power button).
Opened up the power brick, everything seems fine(?)
What a bother 😪

The year is 2099, Sony just announced the PlayStation 24. The release day lineup includes The Last Of Us Part II Remastered "I Promise This Is The Last Time, Guys" Edition. The PlayStation 4 is still being supported.
"The end is near."

Cambridge Django Social for July is live,
We're doing a family lunch picnic & games as it's the school holidays!
I finished another dungeon today! I made a silly mistake that cost me some time; fortunately the great developers at Nintendo foresaw this could happen (see Reddit post for more details.)
Total playtime today was 20 minutes short of 4 hours!

Housing costs are already a crisis in Canada. Now they are going to skyrocket if SoftBank is valuing goose at 71!
Now you can pay $150 more for a console that has no games!

Of course police didn't shoot at the robot, it wasn't black 🤷♂️
SWAT team: turn back or we'll shoot!
Robot: screw you, I want a piece of the action.
SWAT team: you can stay, you cool, LOL.

Another 3+ hours today; now at 30 hours and 37 minutes. Sadly no dungeons today. There was a lot of legwork to be done before getting to the next dungeon. Tomorrow's another day 🤞
Played two sessions today for a total of around 3+ hours. Another dungeon finished, yay!
I really want to finish this game and move on with my life, LOL.
I started playing #Zelda Twilight Princess around a month ago and haven't made much progress, why? IDK, I find 3D Zelda — and even 2D Zelda — such a tiring experience, that I can't play more than one hour straight before burning out. Maybe it's the unbearable heat, or my own health — which I'm struggling with at the moment — but I can't sit and play this game for long periods — which is the best way to experience it BTW.
After 24 hours of play I just finished the ice dungeon, tho. So, yay?
I love how the bad guys in Kamen Rider and Himitsu Sentai Gorenger are just skinny dudes wearing tight pants.

What do you mean summer started yesterday? I live in the Caribbean, we had 6 months of summer this year already.
