I'd meant to post an entry yesterday but didn't get around to it. On Saturday evening, Lut and I watched John Wick 4, which had an unsatisfying ending and was disappointing for such a long movie. I was pretty bored of all the fight scenes by 90 minutes in and started playing with my phone. It's hard to stay engaged with a film when I'm not invested in any of the characters.
On Sunday, I drew and Apothecaria during Craft & Chat (yay, more Umbral!) and Lut and I played Kill Team. Lut wanted to play the melee intercessors so I played the ranged intercessors. The intercessor teams are ridiculously overpowered compared to the other teams we own, so I pretty much always play an intercessor team if Lut wants to play one. The particular map we have set up (one of the Gallowdark maps) favors having numerous units, though, and the intercessor teams are smol (because each unit is OP). So it might be interesting to do intercessors vs one of the generally-weaker teams on it, just to see if the few units of the intercessor team are a sufficient disad on it to make it a contest.
I did a little work on notes for a new book on both days, but not nearly enough to get one close to finished. Not sufficiently motivated.
