But they were all of them deceived, for a fifth Loko was made

TO BE CLEAR this is 100% a good thing, humans are tool users and we should get to use tools especially for complex math problems. Just funny, is all.

Still can't quite get over the feeling that I'm cheating by using a spreadsheet for my homework.

(this feeling brought to you by being old enough to remember when calculators were considered a controversial item in math class)

The combat is in that sweet spot for me where it's challenging me just a little, where I slowly have to start paying more attention to health, to positioning, to Heroism, to hero unique traits ( I'll master Iron Man's redraw focus eventually.) It's introducing new concepts and things at a steady enough pace that I'm not drowning but I'm not coasting.

I admit I doubted this, despite overall loving Firaxus games. But I needn't have worried. This is splendid.

Having an extremely good time.

There's a lot of AAA to-do list stuff but you can skip a lot of it since it's vanity stuff, and the stuff that's a bad idea to skip - hanging out with and bonding with the team - is stuff I want to do.

I'm also nervous because it was in a parking lot, but it could just as easily have been on the road. Going under the wheels of a car... I'd rather not think about it.

I went ass over teakettle on my bike today when I hit an icy patch. I'm fine - a little banged up but fine. But now the throttle on the bike doesn't work. (Pedal assist still does.)

So I need to figure out which wire connects the throttle to the motor and reconnect it. Otherwise, well: so much for using it in the winter and I'll need to take it in for a repair in the spring. 😕

It was a cavalcade of difficult nightmares last night, but one nice capper to it was this: I saw lady me, a little bit at the end.

The face I've accepted I'm gonna have; better hairline, a body shape that's closer to what I want. Not an unrealistic fantasy, but an achievable one, and that is pretty nice too.

TO BE CLEAR my time has grown short in the sense that I seem to not be able to find the time to wolf down five TV series of content for one franchise in a year, not that I'm dying!!

Star Trek is a thing that frustrates me and that I haven't had much time for lately as time's gone on and my time's grown short. But I'll always love it, because to paraphrase Gerry Canavan - at its best, it asks the simple question: what if the future could be good, and what if, in that future, we could be good?

I have a PS5. Don't really need-need a gaming PC! Yeah, there's graphics cards that can outpace it but they cost money I could be spending on commissions I MEAN important things

Despite being unable to really afford one, I am contemplating a new PC for #gaming

I checked and my card is six years old. I'd resigned myself to never being able to upgrade it since I felt that digital computer funbucks were going to price graphics cards out of consumer use, forever. But now I could get one that's twice as powerful! ... and I'd have to upgrade the PSU, and gosh, while I'm in there my processor's five years old, and 16 GB isn't that much any more...

Bleak notions abound.

Anyways, I'm grateful this network exists, and that I have the people I've connected with in it.

If I'm trying to get a following for my work, and I'm using Twitter, and Twitter is designed to be addictive - just how much profiting off addiction can I live with?

And now I have to contemplate the notion that it will remain the Everything Website indefinitely because we simply cannot get an alternative to the same level. I enjoy Mastodon, but its onboarding experience has left friends in tears.

What if this fash-enabling, brain shattering site is just, how we do the social internet from now on. Even if we hate it, we have to use it.

I dropped back in on my main the other day and got depressed, because posting was just as high as before I left.

I realize that making the leap is tough and I don't judge anyone who can't. It is legit hard. It's taken me years to build things up enough outside Twitter before I could even get to the point I'm at.

But the point I'm at, it's like cigarette smoke to an ex-smoker. Just cannot stand it.

The reviews on MIDNIGHT SUNS are tempting me.

I thought "cards? Woof." But I'm coming around on them now that I play Marvel Snap a lot, because that randomness means you can't optimize the fun out of a game fully. And that aside: it's a squad based tactical RPG where you can join Blade's book club or play video games with Peter Parker or tune up Robbie Reyes' car! That is laser aimed at me!
