Jack's new litter box arrived so I took some time to vacuum the office and set up the new box for him. So far he hasn't checked it out, but I'm sure he'll make a deposit soon.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

My mum has been making needle felted mice for a few years and enjoys challenging herself with new themes and ideas. She's just set up her first exhibition at the stately home she volunteers at, with a family of period mice. Incredible.

I love how all the recipes for how to cook brown rice are like, "Don't even think about touching the pot. Don't make direct eye contact with the pot while it's cooking. Actually, don't even *think* about the rice or it won't cook properly."
And you know what? They're right.

i've half-joked about how you aren't actually rich until you have "cancer money", or enough that you can pay for treatment *and* be out of work for however long *and* maintain your or your family's basic quality of life (ie, not having to liquidate core assets like your primary residence).
James Van Der Beek is auctioning off ‘Dawson’s Creek’ and ‘Varsity Blues’ merchandise to pay for his cancer treatments.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

My hard work to improve is paying off and we almost got back to Gold 3 on support last night! Not sure if the luck will hold out tonight, but I'm willing to give it a try after some warm ups. :)

Ordered the spouse an early Christmas/very late birthday gift. His controller got damaged while he played Silksong a while back and so I got him a new one so he'll stop randomly dying when we raid together in XIV.

OK, for my own sanity, I need to mute a name, and this is just my reminder to myself and others to mute terms and stuff that are triggering or that can get to you. You don't have to make yourself read every post, especially if that's going to cause you unnecessary stress and frustration. :)

Friendly but firm reminder that Soken, as a cancer survivor, is immunocompromised and will never have a healthy immune system ever again.
IF YOU CAN’T BE ASSED TO MASK UP FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FELLOW CON-GOERS, THEN MASK UP FOR SOKEN.

with fanfest coming back around people are reflecting on the furry covid comic about it but as someone who went, there were shockingly few people actually wearing masks. if you go this year i’d really recommend an N95. people knowingly go to huge public events with infectious diseases.

Once again I am reminded that I am doing marriage wrong according to the "traditional marriage" crowd.
I have known my husband almost 20 years, have lived together for 14 years, married almost 9 years and not a day goes by we're either of us neglect to say "I love you."
