You ever been so mad you get emotional wrap-around? I live there now


Also frequently geeking out about games as art and storytelling vehicles
I been sat up, feeling sick thinking, I can't drop those names.

If your initials are M N or A M and the previously linked info from ACC file is yours, you can complain to Usufono, I know you have her contact details, but you might want to go to wider ACC. Who knows really

Tuesday morning I will be divulging names and deets of the leaked parties as ACC continues to try and protect the people who made the mistakes. I'm sorry to the people involved if it comes to that. I thought I never would, but then I expected a govt entity to act with some decorum

Imagine if somebody ACC claims is unhinged, rather than rightfully pissed, knew your name, where you went to the Doctor, how hard your struggles were, and could make a decent guess as to why you struggle with them. Gross right?

If we had the same recovery partner around Jun-Sep 24, could be you
The following is, based on my understanding formed via the information I'm permitted, a complete recounting of the past year and change dealing with ACC.

A few things happen around the same time last year. Recovery Partner 1 introduces an unknown person's suicide attempt into my file.

Like to highlight this move from holidaybrain further. Somebody who, it bears again saying I have documented proof failed some very simple single digit addition in this report, which was totally right except for my stability ofc. The constant vexxedness came with the reveal, it has also been stable
Gonna be real with you, I would have expected to need to have kicked off in person before "ignore the crazy"

And today I found the full names of two ACC clients who were being considered for the Sept appt. Not going to publish those for obvious reasons, I shouldn't know those names. Priv a joke

This time I'm gonna crow a little about what I've done.

2 yr ago I was basically mute.

Small additions, make bed, adopt dog, started on languages (dropped down to 1 after a few months, still learning) turned a disagreeable patch of clay into a rich foot of topsoil, by spade. Begun to learn music

Saw a piece today saying there's less jobbed up journos in the whole country than the NYT. I knew it was grim, but Jeeeesus

Have I requested specifically the context surrounding some of these incidents be released to me? Yes, many times. Most recently I told the privacy lot they were disgusting cunts if they thought anybody's privacy outranked mine in this sitch. They're considering no redactions atm

Day6 of #YakuzaChallenge

Favourite minigame goes to Haruka's idol gig. From memory the dance battles she and Akiyama could have weren't quite on the same level.

I think Yakuza is the only series I've played where best minigame doesn't go to fishing

Always praying for more cartographers to just go nuts with it
Some food for thought: if you're reviewing a book & it has good, useful maps, say so in the review! And name the mapmaker if you can.

Often, folks writing books don't know where to go for good maps. Making mention of them in your review helps everyone.

I, seriously, worry that Labour will lose the next NZ election because Hipkins is so BLAND.

I wish the Greens and TPM didn't need Labour, but they do

Printing PDFs, no black ink:

LibreDraw, right side, button looks like a compass.

In the pane it opens, per page, shift+click everything after the first few "Polygon with 4 points" option.

Use the line and fill palettes on the left side to change colours.

Search failed me, hope this helps someone

Image shamelessly stolen, but allow me to present the wisest figure in gaming.

The pinnacle of NPCs.

Pork bun vendor from Sleeping Dogs. Which incidentally, great game. Writing is hit or miss, but as you can see the hits are HITS

Normally, I reckon being wormfood is enough of an indignity for the deceased.

Hear there's a list now, like these idiots are putting all their tears together to summon the Captain Planet of bullying or some shit, so I wanna chime in.

It gonna be distasteful

Day 3 of #YakuzaChallenge

Best Fighting style? Tanimura, in Y4 he changed the game and you see his DNA in all the following brawler-style games.

Parry, extended combos. Gotta pick it for the importance

The American rock band are heading back to New Zealand for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, when the lead singer had the virus too.

Day 2 #YakuzaChallenge

After playing 0 and seeing the old Majima, it's definitely the Mad Dog's mask

Gonna try growing different potatoes in parallel this year, to spread the harvest a little.

Was a bit harder to fit them in the budget than I'd I've liked, but still wish I'd dug another garden field for more already. Gotta do it manually this year though

Can't get my controller and steam to play nice, so 30 Days of Yakuza.
Day1 of #YakuzaChallenge

Fave Protag: Kiryu all day. Y1, when he saves the puppy because he was walking by. That was it, that's my guy.

Apparently this is the only Kiryu screenshot I took

$15k + value of catch is a pisstake. This has been going on too long and it won't stop. Make him destitute and then add the value of the catch. Which I mean, think of all the future fish value. Fuck him up. This fuckin shit, I swear.

Has anybody got a current fix for #Yakuza 0 ds5 mapping on steam?

I done all the search stuff, drivers are good, cleared the SDL_GamepadBind in config, 'extended buttons' won't stay enabled, etc etc. Hidhide+ds4w doesn't play nice with steam for me.

Trying to start all-legend 0-6

Every time I see this his expression makes it funny again.

Keep it up, Carl
