Unpacked the shopping earlier and Banville took the opportunity to climb into one of the bags and sing his song of loneliness.

Honestly, probably learning the process for Sekiro. A game I struggled with, stuck with, and struggled with even more. And then it clicked, and it's exhilarating. Honestly it and Bloodborne are in a league of their own. We'll see if Dark Souls changes me too.
with the understanding that it’s all a bit silly and that’s okay, what’s your proudest video game accomplishment?
for me, I think it’s doing everything in Bloodborne. It’s the only game I ever intentionally got all the trophies in; I just wanted to get every last bit out of it.

Went out for a brisk walk in 50 degree weather and basically feel like I snorted a line of coke.

Dropped into the eye doctor to pick up some contacts and they're playing Soundgarden's 4th of July in there. Big fucking mood but, uh, unexpected.

Just walked through a big anti-ICE highschool protest. Festive atmosphere, students walking back and forth at crosswalks holding signs and shouting "Fuck ICE." Passing cars vigorously honking their approval. Warms my heart, truly.

Last night someone recommended Train Dreams and seemed kinda offended when I said the movie sets off some alarms for me. I still might watch it though.

Damn, the "Trump For Dumb People" coalition is falling apart.
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

If you are doing this you can be prosecuted, regardless of governmental "support." This is a clear violation of human rights and can be pursued in any court that will hear it. Shame America doesn't have an opposition party.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News

Michael Moriarty should've won an Oscar for his performance in Q: The Winged Serpent but sure, let's go with, 6' 3" is the unofficial cut off height for actors.

Smart glasses should have to emit some kind of noise while recording. They're already incompatible with privacy standards in many countries where phone camera have to make noise when taking photos. There's little reason for mass, surreptitious recording in public space.
Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

Recorded a very special episode of @optimismvaccine.bsky.social yesterday, with my first flight of Faygo. Afterward I couldn't shake the chemical aftertaste of Rock & Rye and then I felt really sick for a while but then woke up feeling better. So my theory is Faygo is basically Ayahuasca.

The cold that first showed on Friday afternoon finally hit critical mass last night. I felt properly sick, slept 12 hours, and now I feel a lot better other than feeling very drained because all my energy is still being spent on snot generation.

Okay, what the fuck?! This is a central hub. Getting around in this game is already goddamn laborious 😀 I pray at some point they add the ability to teleport between bonfires.

Dark Souls post. Uh, should I be concerned the Fire Maiden just died? I got super excited I found a second Fire Soul so I brought it back to her and she was dead. Hoping I can still upgrade the ol' Estus Flask because this game is cruel in ways later FromSoft games aren't.
