Returnal is fun. Very hard but playing well is like entering a Zen state. Feels so good

I think once I finish all the weapons and clean up my zone im gonna put off future gunpla and finally tackle the ds9 model kit a friend got me and then I realized it was way out of my league. It isnt anymore.

Backing up all my pirated PS4 games because it's lagging the console a lot. Probably due to a large chunk of the RAM is eating up caching the game thumbnails and stuff. And it's affecting the actual hack method I have via a burned bluray disc. Taking forever. I think a lot of the DLC's gone missing at some point so I'm redownloading all the DLC I can find for each game and keeping all the files nice and labelled and organized. I would have done this before if I had the HDD space to do this, or could afford the blu-rays to burn these files to disc (which if done properly you can actually install the .PKG files to the PS4 via disc even), but yeah, I didn't have the money. I barely afforded the console itself at the time.

The 90s were a great time for your last name to be Carey

So we've got a dishwasher moving up to the line named Chris, he's been around for a while and then lost his work visa for 6 months ans promoting him is the onlt way he can get jours since we had a cook rage quit recently. He's a Phillipino dude in his late 50s with an engineering degree. He can paint like a motherfucker. He was imprisoned under Dueterte and would have been executed had a childhood friend who was in the military not recognized his name on a list. But we work in an Italian restaurant and we have both seen The Sopranoes and so we've all started calling him Chrissy and acting like he just got made. It's been a really fun bit. He's nervous about the change but has been killing it. No matter where we come from in this kitchen, we all love to make fun of Italians

Chef was talking about resumes that came in cause we're hiring and he mentioned that this Russian person applied but seemed like kind of a dick just dropping off a resume, just like...said to the host 'give this to your boss' and left. He then corrected himself and said Ukrainian, im guessing he thought Russian cause as a Canadian i can't tell the accent apart and im sure he cant either and then saw work history in Ukraine. Anyway, I said it was probably for the best he didnt mix that up in front of them. It is odd he would forget and go with Russian cause we have like...so many Ukrainian immigrants in town, especially post 2022 cause we already had a lot and so people had family here when the war broke out. If I hear an eastern European sounding accent, I assume Ukraine, I did before the war. Canada has a lot of Ukranians and not many Russians.

I had a really close call today. Thought I was scheduled 5pm-12am, get to work, turns out I was scheduled 12pm-7pm. Talk to my manager about it, he was sympathetic surprisingly. He's the manager that hareasses me all the time. I just can't do it again. This is the worst job I've ever worked and has been horrible for my mental health, so I wasn't super upset when I realized my mistake on the bus ride. More just worried because the job market is terrible right now, so if I lost this job I'd probably have to go back in the closet to even have a chance at getting another job. Shit, I had to do it to get my shitty fast food job.

I had a dream where LeBron James stabbed me with a pitchfork. What does that mean?

Playing something like yakuza 0 and then the other games majima has been like kiwami 2 and pirate Yakuza made me realize how much I missed his old styles. I don't like to give 0 much credit with it being overrated imo but combat wise it was the peak of that engine and sadly meant they had to move on to the dragon engine in 6. The higher mobility the engine offers you think would be great for his play styles but kiwami 2 makes him slow and the mob enemies in Pirate Yakuza feel a better fit for a crowd control character like saejima. I'm still getting used to swashbuckler but idk I'm having to rely on food items much more due to enemies firing off screen or super armor making my attacks feel like paper cuts

I don't like when people call animals "beasts" and I'm not sure why. Just that it seems like a label that "others" animals.

It's a beautiful spring day which means every asshole on my block is revving their weedeater, electric saw, lawnmower, motorcycle, leafblower,

Oh hey, today was supposed to be the day to request PTO for the social media general strike

Every time i see stuff like solar punk houses with trees everywhere and green on everything it's like, have you people heard of bugs? Leaves? Even if you have magic weather stripping keeping all the bugs out all the plants are going to build up a shitload of organic detritus, like, you ever heard of cleaning out a gutter? Cool now your entire solarpunk city is a gutter that needs to be cleaned

Green idealism thinking you can just have a plant in every square inch without consequences except pretty green

Follow-up to someone discovering duckduckgo confuses taglines for site titles yesterday:

I am fully convinced that this Pragmata game is propaganda to raise birth rates.

It's crazy how every movie, every TV show, every video game ever made are all bad. Nobody has ever made anything good. You'd think they'd have gotten one right by accident at some point.
