I thought you were too chicken after pulling the last one off your channel...

Hey, Saks! Sorry for not responding earlier but I was lost in a crossword puzzle.

You might but likely don't recall that I bought a second 2023 wall calendar last year, when the first was found to have individual day squares too small to annotate appoints and the like in letters large enough to be easily read from my computer chair. That calendar's Amazon page showed only upper/picture pages. I had no way of knowing of its small daily squares until too late.

This year I made a point of buying a 2024 calendar that allowed me to check both its calendar pages in addition to its monthly picture pages.

I recently began transferring known medical appointments to the 2024 calendar.

Appointment one, something was amiss. It fell on a Sunday, an impossibility. "Okay", I thought, it's surely a SNAFU on my part. Appointment two likewise fell on a Sunday. Only then did I notice that this calendar, unlike any I've owned, begins its weekly day-rows on Monday rather than Sunday!

It never dawned on me to check which day the calendar began its week on, not conceiving that any calendar would vary from Sunday.

My first thought was that, like last year, I was going to buy a replacement wall calendar. The more I pondered the situation, the more I felt comfortable with a Monday-first configuration. In the end, I'm leaving well enough alone and will use what I have.

Since the workweek begins on Monday I always thought it most logically that a calendar begins on a Monday. Never understood those that begin with Sunday as Sunday is part of what's universally known as the week-end

[Acadian]

I'm with mirocu on this. Given a choice, I prefer my calender start the week with Monday.

[Sakiri]

Swedish calendars begin on Monday and it still confuses me to look at, regardless of how much sense it makes.

[mirocu]

You're used to it beginning with Sunday then?

I think I've beaten RE0 on the GameCube before but I'm not sure if the PS version is the same or did Capcom change some things around. I do remember you want to touch EVERYTHING like herbs, ammo or key items as inventory space is quite limited in this version and touching items allow it to be "marked" on your map for later usage.

As for my Conan playthrough, I guess some people like having someone comment during gameplay as they didn't like the first episode and I understand, the first few episodes are mostly getting started and item gathering which is why I didn't show me gathering materials. But the episodes after the scourge stone episodes are vital if you want to know how to get the key items to free yourself...which is not recommended cause though your structures are still there, you can't use ANY buildings you've constructed. So you're better off just starting completely all over.

Is RE0 in the mansion?

Is RE0 in the mansion?

Uh no or at least not the one in the Arkley Mountains like in RE1. You start off on a train then enter an Umbrella Training Facility after the train derails and I believe the remaining part of the game takes place at the facility.

Have you seen Welcome to Raccoon City?

Have you seen Welcome to Raccoon City?

I haven't seen a lot of Resident Evil movies other than the first three RE films with Milia Jovovich.

[mirocu]

I think the first one is a bit underrated. Yes, it doesn't follow the game but it has some suspenseful moments and the score is top notch. Loved the intro.

Calendars in the US start on Sunday.

Then Sunday isn't part of the weekend


Universe turned upsidedown!!

There is a front end and a back end. The week is in between.

Goshdarnit!

I hate it when an explanation such as this makes too much sense and I have to accept it even though I don't want to!
