Utterly, utterly infuriating

Picked up Bloodshed cheap. It answers the question what happens when you mix Blood with a survival-based roguelite? I dig it quite a bit, actually. Save 66% on Bloodshed on Steam share.google/wCBnFV00J73x...

My wife and my friend at work both think Casa Do Brasil in Waco is better than Estancia's in Austin. I don't think it's fair to compare Brazilian steakhouses unless you can try them both side by side, but I will say their pineapple is absolute magic and it's a helluva lot closer drive.

So I've decided to ditch the usual way I go into the new year. Ie: dealing with bullshit, getting things somewhat under control, then backing off and trying to relax and go back to normal. I'm not gonna let up on the gas pedal in 2026. Right from the start, I'm gonna assume things go balls up.

It's funny how inflation was all Biden's fault, but now that it's up during Trump's term, we need to wait and see. It's almost like he just told these rubes what they wanted to hear without any actual plan to help with anything. youtu.be/aZ11UwG3gi8?...

My wife has been a candy-making machine lately. Peanut brittle, chocolate-covered cherries, cherry-flavored glass candy. Even some apple butter!

Fired up the Home for Cultmas map yesterday. Oh so much gory fun.

Dumbass me forgot to pitch the yeast into the other batch of beer I'm doing. Had it all set up and everything. I'm really testing the whole foolproof threshold on these, ain't I?

Going off the grid with this brew, using a Mr. Beer Oktoberfest batch. It's for 2 gallons and the Pinter is 1 and a half. So...I guess the extract will make each pint a but stronger? I dunno, hopefully I don't break it or explode it!

Big sis and little bro when he's not being an asshole. Lazy, loving Saturday morning.

So I hear the Epstein files are so heavily redacted they're basically one giant black bar. Hmm...I wonder why?

Not an onion article, somehow! These people are living cancer.

Friend at work told me about that Too Good To Go app and I ordered something from it for five bucks. Gonna see what I get later. It's from an Asian place.

Really tired of getting updated terms of services that new they're gonna have AI shit. I still have the AllTrails app and got an email today. Boy, can't wait to hear how somebody got lost and died on a trail because they used AI. There a handy spreadsheet of all these apps and things to opt outta?

My wife has been back and forth on doing overtime this weekend and she used to make fun of me when I'd constantly sign up and then decide I didn't feel like it. Well, well, well, how the tables have turned.

We're rewatching that A Christmas Carol from 2009 with Jim Carrey. The rich old bastard still hasn't learned his lesson. Every time you start it over again, he's all I hate Christmas. Doesn't he ever learn?

I guess I'll have to watch The Speech to truly appreciate how bad it was. Ordering Mexican should help me get through it. And it's not a reference to the whole TACO thing. It's just coincidence I want tacos, and he gave a speech. Unrelated!

Full of shit as usual, always read the fine print with anything he promises

I really hope they open that Roberto's Taco Shop in Temple soon. Keep driving by it and it looks so empty. Massive craving for tacos at the moment.

Welp, the big bonus work was touting hit, and it got taxed all to hell. Fun times.

We did have plenty of quality cat time on our staycation.

He thinks he can buy people off pretty cheap, doesn't he?

Wasn't near brief enough. Go back to podcasting, loser.

Going to war with Venezuela is such a 70s/80s ass throwback move. The dumb bastard has to have his own Iraq, it's not enough he wrecked everything at home.

I think as the entire job market collapses for the umpteenth time, it's time to retire calling people mediocre. Because, spoilers: most people are average. You could be the most amazing job candidate in history and it won't matter if the interviewer doesn't like you, there's AI, etc.

Welp, World Springs up at The Colony again this weekend. Worse ways to spend it.

Tis the most wonderful of the year indeed youtu.be/7qTPtplzw10?...

Was gonna have a coffee and some kolaches yesterday after work, but I forgot. Not today.

Rewatching the Diamond Is Unbreakable chapter of JoJo, particularly the later half where Kira is the main antagonist. What a villain. A sick bastard who'd be dangerous without any powers. He's a serial killer who can instantly incinerate any witnesses and evidence.

It still sticks in my craw there's a member of the family out here that we cannot rely on to show up at gatherings. Everybody was here Sunday, I did a roast, wife and her daughter in law were doing holiday candies. But we just can't the one person over, they totally blew that.

And people said this guy has charisma.

Two people at work commented on the whole made made-up thing about Rob Reiner's son being transgender, and it's amazing how fast false information spreads.

Donut place closed that was really good. Big Krumnow's in Holland. It was nice not having to drive all the way to Round Rock Donuts for really stellar donuts. The granddaughter wanted kolaches anyway, so I hit Kolache Kitchen in town. C'est le vie

Trump ranting about Rob Reiner in what should be a simple RIP post is spot-on. Who wouldn't want this guy giving their eulogy? I'm surprised he hasn't tried to do a funeral service grift yet.

Incredibly grim news, especially right on the heels of the Brown and Bondi Beach shootings youtube.com/shorts/gMA_A...

First porchetta I've ever done. It's a hit. I'm starting to be the go-to "big dinner occasion" guy in the family.

While I love the artwork for Blood: Refreshed Supply, I still think the original is timeless. Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior you got the protagonists looking all badass in their Army of Darkness knockoff poses. Blood, look at this Criterion Collection cover. Like it knew it was a classic already.

Guess I'm wearing the insulated coveralls in the warehouse tomorrow

Gotta put a pause on my beer subscriptions. I got a beer backlog.

Kinda perturbed one of the glitches out of the gate in Blood: Refreshed Supply is not hearing one of the voice lines in the very first level. You need it to be able to enjoy the fine wine that is Stephen Weyte's vocal performance. youtu.be/u3DeEH_3BDw?...

Friday, Friday, Friday

My daughter in law's dipshit boyfriend has been sentenced finally. Long, long time coming. I can't even begin to tell you how much this guy has had it coming. Luckily, there's a gif that perfectly sums up my feelings:

With the ACA subsidies flop, today has been a double-decker sized journey to Losertown.

Choosing to lose all the time is not a great strategy, ironically enough.

I don't expect NYT to do a pile-on, but it's getting through the thickest heads. And this article, I shit you not, is still mostly about Joe Biden Is Old discourse. Stop trying to put the pitchbot out of a job, mainstream media. They just can't help themselves.

YouTube continues to have an absolute dogshit movie rental section. Stuff is up there like it's brand new for months, no rhyme or reason everywhere. Put newer shit in front instead of making me have to know what's new and what I want to rent before going on the app.

Did up some of those steaks from the Omaha Steak package I got. Might have left them in the fridge too long and they got dried out. They were good, but I don't need to order from Omaha again. Just had to satisfy my curiosity.

So we're just gonna straight-up take another country's oil without even bothering coming up with a bullshit pretext? That's just not the way we do things as gentlemen, old boy youtube.com/shorts/YXpDb...

Forgot to mention the wheat beer I brewer in the Pinter. Another banger. And me without an orange wedge.
