My 3yo has been into Spidey and His Amazing Friends for the past few months, but is finally letting me put in Spider-Verse. I'm so excited.

Of course power is lost on the hottest evening in forever. Fingers crossed the good folks at Ausgrid are able to restore before too long.

Currently reading Alchemised by SenLinYu. Didn’t realise its background when I bought it (though perhaps should have guessed).
Hate to say it but enjoying it far more than expected.
Damn too long though.

My 3yo just exclaimed, "My legs do have bones." He seemed pretty annoyed about it.
That's it. That's the whole message.

I have been dragged to a party for a 4yo at 9.30 at an indoor trampoline/play zone. I've had four hours of sleep. It is a sensory nightmare.

Yeah, so the crashing ended up being an issue with my PS5. Couldn't uncorrupt my file, but was able to play start to finish without any repeated issues.
Veilguard is unfairly maligned. Not the best DA game, but still a good amount of fun.

Alas, I can't find a way to fix it, and I can't progress either. Not often I've had a game breaking bug. Haven't got the energy to put another 30hrs into Veilguard for now. Someone lmk if another patch comes out?

Well worth a sub for word nerds.
That said, I need elaboration on the comma splice situation. Largely because, for whatever reason, I struggle to maintain a good understanding of comma splices...

Coughed on the way in to pick up my son from daycare, and heard him say, "Oh, that sounds like daddy!".
Might be time to quit smoking, folks.

I've genuinely really been enjoying Veilguard over the past couple of weeks, but the bugs are getting silly. Regularly experiencing one which just hard crashes my PS5, but have just found one which changes my class type entirely. Appears to be permanent. Would hate to quit here but may have to.

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Technically didn't get the job. Sort of still did. Very weird. Extra pay is appreciated though.

Do I think every single person who voted for Trump is a bad person? Yes. But do I think that they are beyond redemption and there is no way for them to become good people? Also yes

Between general family life and work emergencies, I've not had a chance to enjoy a Lynch film since he died. Making up for that by watching The Straight Story for the first time ever today on my day off.
