It is only when all hope is lost and you are staring the inevitable emptiness of the universe in the face that you can be truly free. You realize meaning is impossible yet still created through absurdity. Give up on thought and act with purpose where no purpose exists. All is folly!

Big day for the Vikings tight ends continues: McCarthy finds T.J. Hockenson as the Vikings offense stays out on fourth-and-goal. Hockenson motioned pre-snap and bounced off a defender at the goal line to stay upright and score.

Seeking absolution for buying the Metal Gear Solid bundle for Switch 2 and playing it for the first time and thinking I ain't got time for this old ass game with its antiquated controls.

I'd like to say vikes gonna vike but the essence of vike is to make you believe it's worth having hope in the first place.
So what the vikes have viked is the very concept of vike.

Maybe it's because I replayed Hollow Knight again last month and Got Gud (lol I did not), but I'm not finding Silksong to be that much harder?
Or maybe: when your video game skill is like a 5, the delta between 8 and 10 difficulty is harder to perceive?

Lazy / stupid question: is there a bank that lets you link your credit card to your checking account for ATMs?
I swear I had this, long ago: a credit card that, when I put it in an ATM, let me choose to withdraw from checking, savings, or credit. I'm sure the reason I don't today is shenanigans

I feel like I should get some kind of credit or points for writing out a whole post and then deciding against it and hitting cancel. No drafts, no nothing. Just putting it out there for likes from the universe instead of my followers.

Well there goes my afternoon: I will be playing Watch Face Designer for Wear OS. It's a plugin for Figma that lets you craft watch faces right there and then export directly to Android Studio, to an APK, or even view directly on your device.
