I don’t think I played Automata until it had already been out for at least a year — maybe more like two, to be honest with you! 😂 I loved it instantly, though, I’m a sucker for good world building, and NieR Automata does a masterful job. Especially if you do all of the side stories, there are some things in there that are super important for why the game operates the way it does, it’s very cool. 

I’ve been sitting on these photos for a while, but I decided it was time to post them, finally. Paul and I took these last summer, on a day trip to one of our national parks in Ontario, It’s more a large beach, but if you shoot it the right way, you can make it a desert. 

(So of course, Paul got to put up with me telling him about both NieR Automata and Dune the whole time we were there. … And a little bit of Star Wars, Jenn of Dangerous Ladies came with us as Rey Star Wars, which prompted someone to say that I was dressed as Kylo Ren, while I was wearing 9S.) 

AND we didn’t even wind up getting a parking ticket, which we absolutely should have. 😂
