I got sick of it halfway through because I had been watching and steadily decreasing interest in the movie for two hours, saw that there were two left, and decided to take the “nope” on that one.

Sorry, Joe. Avernum’s going to have to take a back seat to a new game of Assassin’s Creed: Origins (clocked at 124fps this morning – it looks incredible at 1440p 144Hz. This is the first luxury (in industry speak, “gaming”) monitor I’ve had and it’s fucking awesome). I’ll finish up that game after this one and then I’ve got Baldur’s Gate 3, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Dragon Quest 3 Remake, and by then Civilization 7 will be out and I’ll be having six-hour sessions vowing to get off the computer after one more turn. Yeah, I pre-ordered it, which gets made fun of a lot – how can you pre-order something that’s not physical? – but in my case I’d rather pay now when I’m flush with gift money than two months down the road.
