Why the hell does Linkedin think I want a summary of my 2025 on their platform? Will it tell me how many jobs I applied to and never heard back from? Do I win an award if I'm in the top 10%? Can the award be a full-time job?
Just kidding, basically no one gets a full-time job using Linkedin

You know one of my *absolutely mostest favorite things in the world*? When you type your problem very specifically into a search engine, but it still decides you're ACTUALLY searching for this vaguely, semi-related issue instead and gives you results for that.

Thanks for nothing.

Just got notified by Amazon that they are canceling the ability to share the free shipping benefit from my Prime sub with my mother. Guess exactly which feature was the ONLY reason I still had Prime? Oh yeah, I'm free baby.

Nothing quite so tense as running a BIOS update on your personal computer.

So tired of "I have plotted every possible outcome to my evil plan" villains in media (*stares at Mission Impossible and Captain America*). Thankful to the Superman team for having Lex be smart, but in a different direction.

Sometimes Managed Democracy is beautiful. You'll have to take my word for it, it's behind the blinding explosion.

Big franchises don't make money by "listening" to fans. They make money by *understanding* fans.

Unrelated, very curious to see how Superman pans out.

Ah yes, tomorrow morning I get to play "how big will this bruise be" after getting hit in the *exact same spot* twice with a hockey puck. Stay tuned.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I've been mostly doing Federation style ships, so enjoy a D7 battlecruiser, courtesy of the Klingons. #startrekonline

The USS Chocobo, a Luna-class recon vessel, is prepared to show that it can do more than just scouting. The captain respectfully requests you do not ask why a recon ship is bright yellow. #startrekonline

It's sad that Strange New Worlds will end with season 5, but I am glad to know that the cast & crew have been given so much lead time so they can craft an appropriate ending for the series. Too many shows just fizzle or get cut too early, and hopefully that won't happen here.

Picked up a Gunship in Everspace 2 today, and I am in love with the turret. It's a thing of beauty, and explosions. Beautiful explosions. #everspace2

Receiving a birthday card in the mail from the org I volunteer with actually feels more fulfilling than accolade I ever received at work, even though I know the card was just a checklist item for one of the coordinators.

The next week (June 15-21) I will be taking off for mental break (no particular reason, just it's a good idea to take a brain-vacation every now and again)

Found a vendor selling some new ships for me to try in Everspace 2. I ended up with a Titan bomber, which is uncharacteristic of me... but I find it is going better than expected. That said, I need to see if the game has turret weapons available to give it that proper 'bomber' feel. Hmmmm

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Re-downloading the Division 2 for the first time in years. I remember quitting because it would crash after 25-35 minutes of play, without fail (PC). Otherwise, I always loved that game. I hope that issue has been resolved...

I swear someone at Square has a fetish involving making the Warrior of Light pick through animal droppings. WTF? #finalfantasyxiv

No stream on Wednesday due to prior engagement. And next week we'll be starting up an Otome game to see how that goes. Which one is TBD.
