Outer Worlds can be relaxing, depending on what you’re doing!

Rom always felt like a DPS check to me, given how you can get overwhelmed over time. Do you dip into the Chalices before him?

and hell yeah, the gameboy parts just got here.

My Gameboy parts should be here today. I am very excited to put that all together and play some classic Gameboy games. Outside of that, I *want* to play Deadly Premonition 2, but I feel like I will end up playing a lot of Dead Cells. I want to pick up Paper Mario, Panzer Paladin, and Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2,…

Finishing the main story of Ghost of Tsushima. Definitely one of the best open world stories in recent memory and the reason I keep playing. Want to see how it ends.

Bits of it haven’t aged great, but The Mighty Boosh is one of the better Britcoms out there.

I can barely focus myself, mainly because later today I’m seeing a dermatologist about a sketchy mole, and honestly that’s all I can think about today. I just need that peace of mind. 

I had a work thing throw me for a loop yesterday that I still haven’t recovered from, and there’s nothing on the schedule today that’s very motivating. My brain isn’t sure where it wants to land; there’s just nothing in the work I’m doing that feels important whatsoever.

What I’ve found most helpful in getting started with tasks is to either make sure they are tasks that I really want to do. If I really want to do those things and can’t muster the mental or physical energy, I know I need to solve that problem first before I can realistically tackle the task I want to do. Like if I’m…

The past two or so weeks I’ve actually been feeling a lot better. I started to get some news about process improvements at work that have been just overwhelming (the processes are still overwhelming, I just have news of potential future improvements instead of no news at all), a somewhat reduction of overtime, and I fi…

Not having a commute anymore has meant that my reading has fallen off a damn cliff. When I want to decompress, I usually pick a video game instead. I’m having to ACTIVELY FORCE MYSELF to read

There has been very little time for reading that isn’t work related or technical reading for a while. I make some time for the monthly releases of Attack on Titan, but that’s only a few minutes each month. I really do want to find more time to read, especially since I have my Star Wars EU (now called Star Wars Legacy) …

I spent the weekend chilling. Sat in the inflatable pool with the kid for a bit and got a mild sunburn in the process. Picked up a bottle of margaritas and have been working through it with the wife. Picked up some spare ribs on Saturday and spent the weekend cooking them up.

On the recommendation of someone in this daily thread at some point over the last week or two, I ordered Danse Macabre by Stephen King this weekend. It should be here today. What a fun writist he is. This better be good. Jay kay, I’m sure it will be. Too bad he doesn’t write more non-fiction. On Writing is so damn…

I have not been reading much at all during the pandemic. I think I should probably change that soon, like after I wrap up Yakuza 6. Take a break, work even just a little bit of reading after the work day. I used to get in about an hour a day reading on the train to and from work. That made it easy. I have been…

The other day a friend was telling me he gets a specific type of birthday cake sometimes from the bakery at his grocery store. I thought it was a little weird at first. Then it kind of made sense. Why does cake have to be only for “special” occasions? Then on Friday, when I was doing my shopping, I found myself…

Baking my wife’s birthday cake tomorrow. I’m hoping the Chinese we have for dinner first will sate her appetite, so she cannot taste the disappointment.

At first, the “things are cake” videos were fun with their mind bendy-ness. Even the memes that sprouted from it were fun. Now it’s just devolved into asking if its a cake and not even bothering with the photoshop.

I’ve been on a pork kick lately. I’ve been watching a bunch of Prime Time on Youtube and my mind has been racing with recipes. Right now I just want to get a 2" thick rib chop with a massive fat cap and slap it on the grill. I guess there’s worse things to think about these days.

Yes yes yes yes yes on Bloodborne, for those exact reasons. I had that same feeling with the original Dark Souls - there was this moment when I felt like I was going to give up, but then I remembered: “People have beaten this game. I’m a person. Ergo, I can beat this game.”
