After nearly 100 hours played and a year of my life, I think I’m finally done with Horizon Zero Dawn. I originally started playing in back in 2020 and it was one of the first games I played on Twitch, but the performance was lackluster and I got into an argument with one of my cats while live on Twitch, got embarassed about it, then got distracted by other things in my life.

I returned to the game when they released a performance patch that nearly doubled my frames per second, and the game went from being an ok looking game at 40-50 fps to a fantastically gorgeous game running at 80-100 fps with HDR (though only in 1080p still, I didn’t want to tax my laptop too much). The story is extremely tightly written and the voice actors and facial animators were both at the top of their game. If it weren’t ineligible for 2021’s game of the year, this would be it for me, it’s just that good.

There are however a few things that I hated, namely any of the flying creatures, I could never figure out how to handle them appropriately. Also, those hunting grounds / trials were difficult to figure out exactly what they were wanting from me at times, I did a couple of them upwards of 10 times before I realized what I was supposed to be doing.

Neither of those distracted me from how much I loved this game. The soundtrack, the day/night cycle, the gentle breeze as it passed over the grass fields I was hiding in from a massive T-Rex looking robot, it was all glorious.

Washington state Senator Doug Ericksen dies at 52

OLYMPIA, Wash. – Senator Doug Ericksen (R-Whatcom County) has died. The Washington State Senate Republican Caucus said the senator passed away on Friday. He was 52 years old. The Ferndale Republican’s death came weeks after he said he had tested positive for the coronavirus while in El Salvador, though his cause of death wasn’t immediately released. He leaves behind two daughters and a wife. “We are heartbroken to share that our husband and father passed away on Friday, Dec. 17.

> When asked if he was vaccinated against coronavirus Ericksen said, “You know, I think that’s a personal decision for people to make in terms of vaccine and whether they want to reveal that and I’m not for vaccines or against vaccines, but that’s up to each individual to make that decision on their own.”

What an absolutely buffoon.

Fantasy Island

Fantasy Island: Directed by Jeff Wadlow. With Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell. When the owner and operator of a luxurious island invites a collection of guests to live out their most elaborate fantasies in relative seclusion, chaos quickly descends.

“Monkey Paw” the television series is turned into “Monkey Paw” the horror film by Blumhouse, a production company that has had a couple stinkers, but most of their output has been on the better side, which I’m going to include “Fantasy Island” on the better side list. I’ve heard a fair bit of reviewers dragging on the film, but 2/3 of the film is fantastic and well done. The last third when they try to explain, then re-explain, then re-re-explain who’s doing what to who, and why it’s being done, that’s the stuff that should have been simplified to have just one twisty reveal instead of the 3 or 4 that we ended up with.

It’s still good enough to recommend if you’re in the mood for some psychological horror with hilarious call backs to the original television series.
