Mostly plays Sea of Thieves. Occasionally chats about nerdy interests like comics, games, movies, etc.

I'm angry with this country, and I won't be hiding this fact.
I'll also continue to post silly jokes and pirate games and spooky stories and comic books chats.
But also loudly love my lgbt+, non-white, and disabled family and friends.
If you have a problem with any of this, fix your heart or die.

The only thing I have to say about the events of the weekend is that, once again, the people best positioned to punish Trump for his blatantly illegal behavior would rather treat him with kids gloves, either because they agree with him or because they think he can be placated.

Grok Can't Apologize. Grok Isn't Sentient. So Why Do Headlines Keep Saying It Did?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

They finally refunded my points. Happy with the result, but less happy about having to submit three tickets, the last I’m pretty sure only worked because I put in an AI prompt to escalate it to a manager.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who made this mistake, but a warning to anyone using Microsoft Points for Sea of Thieves Ancient Coins...
The current packs that come with the Rare Ruby Hat are limited one code per account. Though you may be able to get one of each of the three amounts.

Got an automated response saying the official policy is that points can't be refunded once redeemed unless the product is "defective". I'm not sure how a code that is useless is not defective. Gonna try again and see if I can get a different result, but it's not looking good.

No word yet from support. I do have a work around to get the coins I wanted though. I can just get a $10 gift card to buy them from the Microsoft store. Only issue is that without a refund, I’m basically emptying out my current points, which sucks given half of it went to a code I can’t use.

Well, it happened! So, since the orb kept their end of the bargain (though not before I decided to stay up nearly all night) I’ll keep mine.

Dear Orb,
I hope you are doing well after your break last year. I've been a very good pirate, and so I was wondering if you could include the Gilded Phoenix Jacket in any surprise drops this year. Preferably at a decent time for North America so I don't sleep through it.

Update: I am well on my way to getting the whole clothing set. This has merely come at the cost of my sleep schedule.

The gall of people to walk up to a creative, who put their heart and soul into their work, and criticize it to their face, unasked from a stranger.
It could be the worst book I ever read. I'd still need them to specifically ask for my opinion and the time to make it as constructive as possible.

100% using this Jessica Fletcher line from Murder, She Wrote when someone tells me at a con they didn't like a book 😆. Love this so much.

Ok, giving higher level pirates a way to gift a new cosmetic to others is a cute gimmick.
Sea of Thieves News returns with details on the many elements of this year's Festival of Giving (including a certain scrying sphere), a peep at some incoming cosmetics and more! So grab yourself a warming beverage and settle in for the update: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss0m...

Got the feedback survey for Sea of Thieves season 17
finally. Had previously assumed, incorrectly, that the toxicity survey had replaced it.
As I’ve said before, Season 17 had a lot of ideas that sadly didn’t execute very well, and I wanted to give more detailed feedback…

I also got one of these and nearly fell for it. Thankfully I realized Bluesky would not use an offsite link for anything official before clicking on it.
I haven't even done anything wrong?! This is so cooked.

Nearly got Game Pass for the free Sea of Thieves emote, but realized the jig is not only in the Pirate Emporium, but pretty cheap. So, you can either pay $10 for the basic Game Pass, or $2 to get it straight from the game and have Ancient Coins left over.
