Had I paid attention to the AI aspect of Arc Raiders I probably wouldn't have bought it last night. That's a real bummer. I haven't played it yet but that doesn't sound promising.

The grocery near me sells a 4 pack of tall guiness cans for about ~9.90. Right next to it, and this is an all the time thing, they also sell an 8 pack of the same size cans for ~9.80. A few pennies less and 4 more cans. Its a weird but I appreciate it.
Both are more expensive than last years photo

Holy cow the download on Arc Raiders is killing me. I wont even get to launch it tonight. I hope I play it at some point.

Some co-workers suggested the game Arc Raiders so I watched the trailer (2 minutes) and bought it. I don't see any value in the "deluxe" offering. The premise sounds fun and, so long as I dont *have* to play multiplayer I'll probably have fun.
If I have to play multiplayer..I'll still have fun?

There are a few disc golf feeds on here but most of them (including the one I have pinned) are full of things not related to disc golf.)
Disc Golf Skys seems like the cleanest option so I'm switching up.

Pettiness. What a fucking waste. It is literally the definition of who Trump is and folks advocate to be more like him while claiming they despise him.

My automatic bluesky posting of blog stuff is pretty much done - and I'm _mostly_ happy with it. Yet, the auto-generated blurb text is kind of yuck. It feels so click-baity. I don't mind using AI to come up with the summary but I gotta fix the prompt to not leave me feeling dirty.

Today is Veterans Day in the USA. As a Veteran it one of my least favorite "holidays" because it is just pomp/circumstance and lip service.
We as a country don't honor our veterans. We throw soliders/sailers/marines/airman to the chopping block and then forget them when they are home.
