Something magical occurred to me this morning: fit-flayingRPGMonster Hunter Wildswill be the first time I get to play a Monster Hunter game while also being a cat dad. It’s going to great! “What’s that, eh?!” I’ll say, pointing to a Doshaguma in a manner that might foolishly suggest I expect her to give a damn. “Mraow”, she’ll reply, knock over my coffee, then go back to sleep. “It’s you!” I’ll exclaim, pointing to the Palico I’ve spent six hours making look just like her. “That looks nothing like me, you odorous lummox,” she’ll insinuate with a cocked eyebrow, then go shout at an ant for a bit.

Ah well, at least I have videogames - this one is out on the 28th of Febwar, 2025. Here’s a trailer from last night’s Sony-me-doo:

Misgivings aside, I’m a mark for the monst, and perhaps an even bigger mark for the RE Engine, so I cannot wait to stick my face in this, much like my cat has started sticking her face into the saucepan of boiled egg water when there’sfresh water right there, you tiny criminal. Our Edwin was privy to a demo for Wilds earlier this year, whichyou can find here.
