OS upgrade and other things
I finally decided to upgrade my laptop to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. I'm liking the interface so far. It looks so much better than 8.1 in terms of overall aesthetic. I also plan on upgrading the ram on this thing. That's something I've been intending to do for a while, but I've just now decided to go ahead and do it.
That aside my friend and I are planning on having a day of checking out video game stores, and going to the movies on the 11th of December. She told me she would buy me a new game for my Christmas gift so you know I'm pretty hyped about that. We haven't really hung out since May, and she has a very demanding job (she's a 911 Operator.) So I'm really looking forward to seeing her. :)
In other news I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and I've been really enjoying it so far. I've seen people complain about how it looks in handheld mode for the Nintendo Switch, but I think it looks fine. Sure it doesn't look as good as Doom, or Breath of the Wild, but I think it looks good enough. It looks great in docked mode anyway. Also I'm loving the controls, and overall gameplay. The only thing I really hated immediately was the English VO. The character that voices Rex in English doesn't really suit him at all. That being said I decided to download the DLC for the Japanese audio, and play it in Japanese with subs.
I've also been listening to lots of music, and practicing guitar a bit. Here's a band that I really like that I discovered recently thanks to post-punk.com. Also a few links to a few other songs I've been enjoying.
Spahn Ranch - Witness
Savages - Waiting for a Sign
Flowing Tears - Under The Red
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Lands End
Inc - Black Wings
Strange Boutique - We Treat the Blindness
The XX - Replica
The Birthday Massacre - Midnight
Bauhaus - All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
Lillies and Remains - Go Back

This'll probably slow my progress with it over the next month considerably while I'm staying with my parents in the US. I already decided to bring the dock so we can do family Mario Kart, but access to a TV for single playerness might be limited, and I don't want to be having to answer questions about anime boobs hahaha. I'm in no rush though, so I guess it's cool.
