a reminder of when Muse were on an Italian TV talk show and the producers demanded they mime to a tape rather than perform properly so they pretended to be each other throughout their appearance (including the post-performance interview) and delivered the laziest fake performance they could https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7LT3FtPtbc
Apex Legends/Apelegs/Apex Legumes
Seems.. Fine/Good?
Just um it's a BR
And we don't really like the whole..
> Gametime mostly 20m of foraging
> Game decided by 2s shootout
But for a BR, it seems like a good BR?
Also bring back titans and bring back wallrunning
Basically I'm still salt over Titanfall 3, I probably won't be diving deep into it, but Apex seems like it's set to be the top game for the forseeable if you're into that kinda PlunkNite BR shooter

Quick, The Mods are awake. Now's the time to thank them for their labour in helping maintain a nice enviroment.
I am bemused by the motivations of all the people who reply to Amazon item questions to tell a random stranger that they don't know the answer.
It seems to happen a lot more than I'd expect.. I wonder if there's some Amazon incentivisation scheme for answering questions that explains it.

I'm curious what people's favorite space photos are.
I can't choose individual ones, but the Juno probe got some beautiful pictures of Jupiter. I especially love the poles and detailed photos of the weather patterns.

Someone on Twitter mentioned that in some regions of Germany, a common idiom for whenever there's mist in the forest is "The foxes are making coffee", and thought the image was evocative enough for an illustration.
Well, I took the bait! 🦊☕

Art, sorta preview-y
A heavy strikecraft currently controlled/piloted by a Mind from the "Void Witches" experimental carrier division streaks towards the camera, showcasing their custom hull-art.
These heavy strikecraft are approximately 40m-ish (I've not decided yet!) long, and are exclusively deployed, as with all other strikecraft, in heavily-debris-filled mission zones, hiding around the debris to avoid being instantly atomized by heavy (and very speedy!) terran cannon fire.
Am home safe, travel and stuff today went fine. Body seems to be doing a bit better too.
(Will do more detail later but wanted to make sure people didn't worry)
re: Life, Body Stuff, Autism -
I'm worried that sounds melodramatic
But I've either got the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had from some falafel (highly unlikely), a weirdass response to going back on Quetiapine (only slightly less unlikely), or my body is telling me I'm pushing too hard in New And Exciting Ways
So I may be literally too sick to do the journey back solo/early. Still.. Will be home one way or another tomorrow, come hell or high water. That's the important thing.
Life, Body Stuff, Autism -
I put a great deal of time, effort and money into going into an irl meetup thing.
It went exactly as they tended to when I stopped going to them. (aka: "Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes")
Still. Is only tonight and tomorrow left, then I'm home again.
Will try to foreshorten tomorrow as much as possible, but that depends a lot on physical symptoms that have been made a lot worse by this.
Might not be physically feasible in my current state.
I swear to god this place needs an exorcism.

[ Architecture of Control - ]
Birmingham New Street has recently tried to update its image, presumably to drag itself away from its well-established national reputation as a Non-Euclidean Despair Warren.
(Whenever you mention you're passing through Birmingham New Street, the news will usually be greeted much as if you just said you're due to catch an unfortunate illness; A grimace, sincere condolences and hopes that it will pass as quickly and painlessly as possible)
Part of this attempt to update its image has been adding what can only euphemistically be described as 'benches' along the taxi rank;
For the understandably-confused, these benches can be identified as the row of angry concrete blocks with metal spikes jutting from the edges.
..Yeah, those ones.
If there were any proof needed that some spirit inherent in New Street has a seething hatred for humanity, this would be it.

I am in glorious Birmingham!
Glorious, dreary Birmingham.
..Look, not by *choice*.
God Western music notation/terminology is a butt
Just.. Just throw it out and replace it with something where one word doesn't have a half-dozen different potential meanings
And half of them are old Italian words
And we've got some stuff left in from, uh *checks notes* ..Medieval church organs?
..Yeah, maybe get a feather duster in here
