Breakfast at Seattle's "Serious Pie & Biscuit". 

Pictured:

• The second half of a very tasty buttermilk biscuit smothered in delightfully coarse-ground peanut butter.

• Slices of perfectly ripe banana to be placed on said biscuit.

• Completely extraneous honey. The banana is sweet enough!

• My punishment for ordering a latte. Zero exaggeration, it is the worst espresso-based drink I have ever tasted, and I once drank an americano from Starbucks. Unfinishable.

So... good food, bad coffee.

Luncheon in three. 

Tofu bánh mì,
Thai iced tea,
and Rarity.

(No, I won't be consuming that last one.)

Yesterday, I had two XBone controllers with busted D-pads.

Today, with a couple replacement parts, a couple Torx screwdrivers, and a little bit of effort, I have two slightly shinier XBone controllers with working D-pads.

I feel accomplished.

Double selfie: the sequel! 

And now it's @literorrery and I after a trip to "Scream" (a hair salon in Seattle)!

Double selfie! 

Well, it's me and @literorrery so that's a double selfie, right?

On a whim, I glanced at my profile. That follower count, and that most recent toot....

Adobe software, disturbing typography. 

Replacing Segoe UI in Windows 10 can greatly improve readability and aesthetics, but there are occasional side effects. For example, if a program ignores good practice by insisting too hard on having Segoe UI and ignoring the substitutions table, the font offered up may not be appropriate for the task.

Folks, I present to you the new, improved Acrobat Reader preferences dialog: awoo.space/media/szLVY0Q_mLdCB

PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE

Super Metroid with randomised items. 

This screenshot shows my inventory just after fighting Draygon and before picking up my reward, normal Bombs.

Notes:
• Yeah, I had to navigate all Bomb stuff with Super Bombs – and until recently, only ten!
• Check out my Super Missile capacity. Reminds me of having over 👑0 lives in Super Mario Bros.!
• Gravity Suit before Varia. Wacky.
• Still no Charge Beam or Ice Beam. Argh!
• Fighting Draygon with no Grapple Beam is horrible.

Fresh-baked pot brownies! 

Well, more like flourless chocolate mini-cakes using homemade cannabutter , made by @literorrery with minor assistance by me.

Mmmm, these're gonna be good.

Super Metroid, but with randomised items. 

This screenshot tells more in what it doesn't show than what it does. Of note:

• Check out my ammo counts!
• It's a damn good thing a Super Bomb can do anything a regular Bomb can do.
• Those three Energy Tanks? I didn't get any of them until after I got two Reserve Tanks.
• I got the Gravity Suit yesterday, but I couldn't get back out from where I got it because I ran out of Super Bombs.
• I really could use a better Beam....

Adorably petty design complaint. 

And here's the part that takes this from "mild misstep in the practicality department" to "did any of you knuckledraggers ever try to actually use this bloody thing":

It looks like this from the back. (Hey, look who has brand-new third-gen Hue bulbs in their bedroom!)

All that exhaust grill space where it curves downward? Empty inside. It would have been trivial to mould a handle into the centre.

Finally, this seed is done. Fifteen freakin' hours of wandering about, most of it trying to find the bloody Magic Mirror.

And yes, that's Neon Link. Don't try to play with Neon Link unless you really like barely being able to see yourself.
