Animal Crossing. Fishing tournament tomorrow, then Bunny Day, when this accursed event finally ends.

I have not played every single game in the franchise, but I’ve played every main-line entry since VI, and several of the spinoffs. Of those:

Appropriate theme today, as my wife and I are going to try to get out and do some walking. Between work and general exhaustion with life as we know it, we’ve been cooped up and mostly couch-bound for weeks.

My wife and I are breaking out the “Baking With Kim-Joy” book to bring a little sunshine into our lives. We can’t go out to a grocery store to get the missing ingredients, so we had to order some of them online, but it’s worth it. We’ll be making a much smaller version of this beauty: https://www.eatyourbooks.com/libra…

Yeah, he’s a dumbass and it was a dumbass move, but I’m glad Blizzard didn’t swing the hammer too hard on him. I was worried this was going to lead to something stupid like a stage-long suspension or something. Text chat never appears during OWL matches, presumably because it’s removed from the Spectator’s screen, so…

We’re pretty much hermits when it comes to our neighbors anyway, so we didn’t need an excuse to not see them.

I love MST3k, but I am a die-hard Mike fan. I’ve never really liked Joel’s sleepy-disinterested voice, and it makes his zingers land with less bite than they should. Mike as the energetic yet dopey puppy of the crew works way better, in my opinion.

Agreed. I don’t mind the idea of the event, but the furniture is terrible, and way too many fish/balloons/pitfalls end up being eggs when I’d rather they be something valuable. And there is no need for egg hat/shirt/shoes for each type of egg when customization is a thing in this game. Players should only have to make…

I’m playing “Hate myself for screwing up at work!” It’s not fun, but I just can’t seem to put it down.

I honestly don’t know why I’m still surprised at stuff like this anymore, but I am. The past ten years have been “Wow, I knew [corporations/billionaires/political parties/certain parts of this country’s population] were bad, but I didn’t realize they were this bad” on loop, over and over again. How have I not learned…

Quick note: two people can shop in Nook’s Cranny at the same time. One can talk to Tommy, the other can talk to Timmy.

Roaches are no joke. Did you know some of those fuckers can fly? I credit my lifelong hatred of all insects to the moment a roach flew up in my face when I was a kid. These days I have to deal with ants constantly finding a new path to my cat’s food bowl.

Re: grocery shopping: Friday we did our first online grocery/delivery, and it worked surprisingly well. We ordered 30 items, and as the guy was shopping I kept getting automated texts saying “Such and such is out of stock; your shopper has found a replacement.” I was dreading them delivering a bunch of shit we…

EDIT: Replied to wrong post, sorry. :(

“The trick is that Resident Evil 3 can occasionally change the rules.” 

This was going to be my answer. Waffles make an excellent snack at any time, work as bread for sandwiches, and are even part of lunches/dinners (i.e. chicken and waffles). There’s nothing they can’t do.

Agreed, 100%. Especially since the first hour or two of FFXV felt like that breath of fresh air, before it began its slow descent into “meh.” The opening chapter felt like the shot in the arm the series badly needed, but by the end it really came across as a game that had no idea what it wanted to be. It was…

My coworkers have said the same. One of them has a seven year old son  who actually said “I wish I could go back to school” yesterday. We were all stunned.

I already work from home and my friends are all online anyway, so it’s not a huge adjustment for me. It’s hitting my wife harder; she’s working from home ‘for the foreseeable future,’ and she already misses going in to see her co-workers and friends in person.

Dealing with the usual imposter syndrome at work. Trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Looking forward to napping on my lunch break.
