Time for a games update. Rather than start any of my backlog after beating Yooka Laylee, I started Hollow Knight again, this time on Xbox (played on PC and beat on Switch). Controls are much better with the Xbox One controller and I remember more of where to go than I thought. Game Pass mobile starts on the 15th, looking forward to utilizing that, especially since they keep adding games I want to play.
I'm sort of winding down in Animal Crossing. Everything's paid, my island's 5 stars, now it's just doing some little daily things. I'm working on collecting all the K.K. slider songs, I think I'm around halfway there.
Still playing Binding of Isaac on and off, no wins with The Keeper yet and a 20 or so death streak. I had an awesome Mom's Knife build going, but hit what I call "the one room" because no matter what I always seem to hit one room just about every run that just destroys my health. This time it was a double Polycephalus room that squeaked in a shot in as I killed the second one. I was 3 rooms from Mom's heart.
Also continuing to make steady progress on Dark Souls. I did some grinding this week with the forest guardians before fighting Sif. That fight felt wrong overall, especially the part where it starts limping. I almost let it take me instead, but I finished the fight. Made my way through Sen's Fortress and utterly destroyed the Iron Golem. I foolishly tried to block during the start of the first fight, and got pushed of the edge. Came back second fight and found a simple strategy that led to me taking no damage in round 2. Basically, I hung back until it was in the middle of the area, and then locked on and ran straight at it. It would do the big sweeping attack as I ran under, and the camera would flip at the same time, allowing me to get easy attacks on the back. Rinse and repeat. Started going through Anor Londo, but got sucked into the painting world. I just got the last bit of the area to go I think, and it will be back to Anor Londo for more fun!
