I beat Hades (the boss, not the game) for the first time last night, attempt 36. No THC was involved. But an extremely lucky set of boons (Scintillating Feast) and Well of Charon perks (Braid of Atlas) were!
If you made a graph of How Far I Get In Hades, versus How Much THC I've Had, there would absolutely be a line on that graph, with some parts higher than others.
(right now some parts are higher than others)

In an era where I'm canceling streaming services left and right because they're being shitty greedy shits.. I am also upgrading to @dropout.tv 's Superfan "An Optional Way To Give Us More Money" tier.
Because they are like this.

I was super fired up about my project, I was loving it, I was a juggernaut of productivity and code. And now? I haven't written a single line in a week. Because management did something stupid and made me mad. It would be funny if I wasn't so frustrated about the whole thing.

First off, let me be clear that forming parasocial relationships with internet strangers is weird, don't do it.
But yes, I also wish that I had more friends like Astrid. For example, my wife @valuemeal2.bsky.social and I wrote a song together about how fucking cool Pluto is. youtu.be/-COAemfP1YU

If you don't wake up at 3am thinking "I should get my friend a smudge pot so he can use waste oil to keep his mini split working in freezing weather," are you really even taking care of your friends?
My OP brain can be just super dumb sometimes.

When I got this project at work, I immediately knew it was dangerous. Interesting, challenging, uniquely suited to my skill set... a perfect trap.
I almost forgot to eat again today. But man.. I'm getting to flex at work, and total strangers are in awe of what I am doing. Feelsgoodman.

Am I about to defend, support, or endorse luxury brands? No! When someone spends $700 on a Gucci t-shirt, "expensive and unnecessary" is kind of the point.
That's what the Issey Miyake/Apple iPhone pocket is. It's stupid, expensive, unnecessary, and not for normal (sane) people. Just ignore it.

My most woke opinion is that nothing that is necessary for life should cost money. We are so good at growing food, at producing energy, building homes, making medicine, it should all be free. Eliminate insurance and any attempts to profit from necessities.

I kind of get the "secret apartment fantasy" trope now. Mine is for one that's almost completely devoid of possessions. The bare bones of furniture. A few of my favorite books. A clear dining table. A TV, a game console, brand new almost white carpet. I literally have dreams about it.

My whole personality is "I'm a stone hearted, stoic, only takes care of himself, overachieving, perfectionist that can prove it, social recluse."
Just don't ask my friends, they'll probably lie and contradict some of those.

okay but what if i've been mediating my personality through acts of service to others for so long that that's what makes me endearing and as i slowly begin to want things for myself i feel less, like, safe, or fun to be around, or like not as good somehow and wind up being less than i think i am

Hey, wow, this isn't cool. I was kind of leaning on Blue Sky to be like.. not clouded by mods and algorithms controlling what content I see. At least I can turn them off, I guess.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Shared this photo on the Meta sites that my family isn't on (duh), and it's getting near zero views. Algorithms and profanity, oil and water, etc.
I don't care, I've been wanting to see @stevehofstetter.bsky.social live for years, and I hurt myself laughing. @brettdruck.bsky.social killed too, ofc.

I'd never consider myself a hacker. But sometimes I put on a gray hat and see how badly folks fail in their attempts to be anonymous on the internet.

Watching GBBO with the wife, and when it was time for Paul & Prue to leave, Alison told them "Vamanos!"
Any Spanish 1 student could tell you that's wrong, that means "We go." But I was proud to know that she meant "Vayanse!" and also oddly proud that I didn't know why. Felt very native speaker-y.

But it sure is easier when thy neighbor's got a U-Haul truck in his driveway at the end of a month. Fare well, wherever you fare. Far. Fare far.
It is so hard to love thy neighbor when thy neighbor smoketh hys blunts on his back patio, which is like ten feet from my living room. Can't ever open my fucking windows because he just LOVES to smoke outside when the weather's nice.
