Making progress in getting Squirrel to hang out in a place in my room that isn't my desk or chair trying to eat my cables.

Wasteland 3's Attribute System feels like an obligation to Wasteland 2 (and Fallout 1, having 7 stats) but it also totally changes what they do. And Wasteland 2's attributes were different than Wasteland 1 anyway. I wish they changed it, maybe narrowed to 6 attributes, more intuitively named.

Giving every character in Wasteland 3 a few ranks of Animal Whisperer so they can all get cats, dogs, rabbits, foxes, etc. Just have a pack of critters distract my foes in battle. Which isn't great for the long term life expectancy of said animals. But hey, they'll die as proud Desert Rangers.

Coming around on my shorter hair and that oh yeah, there is a reason I like having it be like this for a while.

I've adjusted now, but man shower right after having a significant haircut always has me using way too much shampoo on instinct.

Love that on Fresh Fruit For Rotten Vegetables "I Kill Children" immediately transitions into "Stealing People's Mail" Immediate decrease in severity of the crime.

It was funny that my positive ending for a Christian Militia faction in Wasteland 2 involved them no longer using King James Version as their go to Biblical translation.

We were robbed by never getting House of Re-Animator where Herbert West reanimates George W. Bush. We could be House of Re-Animator posting all the time.

Trying to get to the bottom of 40k questions like "If the God Emperor of Mankind was Alexander the Great and he's The Omnissiah, is Motive Force also bisexual or do those two aspects of the Machine God not share that detail?"

I've never liked the treatment of NCR in the Fallout show but if you only watched it it'd seem like they only had the one city. Not that it might not dissolve without it. But Junktown, Boneyard, Dayglow, The Hub, Redding, (Vault City, Reno, Arroyo assuming those 3 joined) all pretty sizeable towns.

Showing up at the "end" of a quest in Yakuza to meet a group 5 different guys all called Captain something. Goddamn it, I know how this one goes.

People who hate firearms in fantasy reveal they've never seen an arquebus or worse, they have but have no joy in their heart.

Getting sent to a slam and paying a doctor 20 menthol kools to do a surgical orchi job on my balls.

Woke up to false "it happened" alarms but remembering the age old "We only have to be lucky once, he has to be lucky always."

Something I defend with Buffy is the dialogue (see, quips) mostly works cause they're young folks talking to one another And maybe why Glory in S5 doesn't work for me is she also just talks like that. "What if a God distant from humanity was a valley girl?" Yeah, what if.

It's pretty damning to something in a game when defenders generally say "It's not that bad" rather than "It's good." And there's merit to "It's not that bad." I don't think the Temple of Trials in Fallout 2 is so bad you shouldn't play it and the badness can be overstated. But man, it isn't good.

As someone who loves to describe things as "the titular" it's been pretty great how much I've gotten to say "the titular bone temple"

"We can't afford to fix up the ship yet, the captain spent all the money on clothes and new ways to hit people with swords" is the sorta thing you should expect sailing under Majima really.

Squirrel is back from the vet. All is well. Got her shark plush and gave it to her when she got home. She's taken to it like a stereotypical trans girl.

"Yes Man is the most leftist ending. The Followers can help with food, medicine and with The Dam we can provide power for everybody." He says. "My child." I reply. "By advancing the material base of society it's Mr House who lays the groundwork for future communism. Any Marxist should know this."

“It’s okay to eat fish cause they don’t have any feelings" How Catholic.

Hey, wanna come back to mine and watch a UMD copy of Speed on PSP? If you're not interested in that I got Evolution, though it's been a while.

"You have to love trans women more than you hate terfs" is and remains one of the best and most succinct transfeminist thoughts to incorporate into your life.

Do Kiryu, Majima and Ichiban just think every town has a secret underground casino/colosseum? Is not having one what feels weird to them?

Excellent news, another year, another calendar of black and white photos of an ould fella from the pub in a cowboy hat drinking Guinness and smoking his pipe.

Every time someone says Goldeneye is the "best" shooter ever it's just like, okay, you had an N64 instead of a PC when you were young. I'm sure you earnestly think that. But I still think that's why. It'd be like if someone said Jazz Jackrabbit is the best mascot platformer. Probably a reason.

"This short haircut makes me look like man." See, that's normal transfem bad brain. Perfectly common. Totally understandable. Mine is much worse. "This short haircut makes me look like my mother."

Mentioned Lena Headey asking my brother if he'd seen Dredd (2012) and he called her "Sarah Connor from the Terminator TV Show" which like, she is. I also watched that entire TV show, actually got those video files from him. But huh, that's his reference point for her? And Summer Glau? Fascinating.

Of two minds between "Given the popularity of Jackbox and people having smartphones so not needing peripherals, it's weird Sony never brought back Buzz" and "It's Sony, of course they have an IP they never touch again."

Wait, someone sitting next to me just mistook someone's commission of a D&D elf character as commission of myself pre-haircut. Maybe it's not all over. Hair grows. Spring follows winter.

Hair cut shorter than I asked 😔

Someone is complaining that missing a 95% chance to hit in an RPG makes it bad. We've all been there! While you might want to reply with a simple: "Try putting it in your mouth next time see if you miss that one." Many find such remarks offputting. Instead say "Can be rough." with a nod and frown.

I love Nightstalkers in New Vegas, adorable lil Snuppies. Take Animal Friend just so they'll hang out.

Started playing RoboCop Rogue City Unfinished Buisness and hope I don't run into Murphy's strongest foe, big magnet from RoboCop 2.

The Fallout TV Show remains in this weird positioning for me where I really like it. I enjoy lots of what it is exploring thematically. But I also don't like how it follow ups on elements from Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas. And not because "bad things happen" but it feels like interesting.

Have to question if the United States could even survive invading Greenland. Not just horrific war with NATO, though agh, but just as the US Will West Coast states look at: "Win the British Colombian/Pacific front while facing global sanctions because I want Greenland" and secede in favour of NATO

Got a new phone and now getting hit with question of "Do I really want to reinstall X The Everything App?" And like... not really.

In multiple books in The Witcher series characters are just like: "She has the right to an abortion, which should never be infringed." "Of course not, everyone knows that." "In my country it's beyond debate and I take offence at suggesting it could be." "Let's all quest for Ciri's bodily autonomy."

If I end up playing Final Fantasy X I'm certain I'll be constantly thinking of that Titus going "I had forgotten about bisexuality" video.

Never understood the American stereotype of hating the French. I know in 00s it was not joining in on the Iraq War, but "the French are smelly cowards" existed long before that. Essential in winning the Revolutionary War. Allies in WW2. Literally gave them the Statue of Liberty! What gives?

Rally co-drivers/navigatiors are fascinating. Taking part in a race where your job is to give directions real good. Professional backseat driving. Genuinely seems stressful as hell and like it requires immense teamwork and skill.

Bought Hunt: Showdown on Steam Sale and now convinced they've put my purchase on a spreadsheet attributing it to a "Post Malone's Murder Circus" promotional event.

Pretty fucked world that Heather Heyer was murdered by a fascist using a car in a terrorist attack in 2017 and the longterm outcome seems to be that now in 2026 when the fascist secret police murder someone on video, they just claim the victim was a terrorist using their car to commit an attack.

Most incredible cut off by ellipses in a film description I've seen.

Putting on my country's international football jersey and heading to the stadium with a bunch of other people in jerseys to celebrate foreign occupation.

New York Times refuses to report on upcoming mass shooting as it would endanger the life of the shooter.

Surprised Marvel hasn't made a nonbinary Gamma Mutate called "They-Hulk" yet, Which would either suck or rule. Or more accurately, suck and rule depending on who is writing them as Marvel minorities tend to be.

*Real* punk isn't racist. *Real* punk is about getting lost in the supermarket.

Amazing how much International politicians can say nothing to try and look good. Like oh, we're following the situation with great concern. We care very strongly about respecting international law and encourage de-escalation. But aren't saying "The US should release the person they just kidnapped."

European Union needs to take control of their own Payment Card Industry over Visa and MasterCard. Half of transactions in EU are card, those cards are American. How could they treat America like Russia after something like their attacks on Venezuela, even if they wanted to?
