The way a lot of long term stories aren't sticking the landing these days, I probably should play Deltarune before the last chapter comes out. Cause if it does and I hear the ending sucks, probably won't play it at all :O If anyone can do it right it'll be Toby, but he's still human I think.

Now for the reward. It's me, I'm the hungry tiger

Very wet hike, started much later in the day than usual :0 got to the top though

Now the certs for current job are done, I went to start studying for a career shift. But half the things on the study list they gave me in Jan are already being retired for AI stuff and talk in the company's shifting there too. Think I missed the boat on this idea unless AI loses its shine soon

If someone had definite proof we're all brains in jars in some other reality, randomly thought this morning that I'd have to say who cares. I have no inputs or outputs in the other reality so it might as well not exist. Unless some freedom fighter puts my brain in a body, the matrix is all there is

Getting energy back after being sick again, behind on a lot of things. Fully catching up is hopeless, so what do you do? Move the goalposts! How can I do this less perfectly? What's the most important and what can be paused? Do I even need to do this at all or can I skip and try again next time?

Just remembered most of last night I was lost in a version of America that only spoke Japanese for some reason. It ended with misplacing the car and me going around to everyone saying 車はどこですか！and never finding it then i woke up

Been sick again, had to cancel lots of plans (this weekend was very packed). With the downtime though, figured out how to have hobby time after work again yay Problem: sleep is suddenly harder cause I get on a roll with shit XD Turns out, easier to sleep when there's nothing you care to think about

It's time to play... Will OneDrive Crash File Explorer Today!! The meta for this game is to always guess "yes" So glad I don't have this on my home PC, it's just wasting time my employer still has to pay me for

The cultural connection between winter and illness is so strong, here I am halfway through life looking back and finally seeing the reality: I've always been sick a lot more in spring and summer 🤔

For a brain-off game, poked at non-subscription MMO stories to see if there's a solo story experience there. Read GW2's story summary up to where I left off (base game final boss), absolutely none of it was familiar. ESO: Same problem. Neither story was memorable. Best case, need to start over

Letting the xiv sub go for now. Soon as a time matches up to do something with friends/FC I'll immediately throw more money at it and get in but it's gonna be a very outdoorsy and studious couple months

I thought turning it on would teach him he actually doesn't want to be on it cause it makes noise, but he showed me how little I know about his motivations

Guess i should play XIII someday to see if this is accurate or not~ all the others I saw had scores in the 90s so maybe it had trouble with me XD ff-resonance.vercel.app

Someone at this restaurant is a person of culture

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Phone was having problems so turned off 5G and now it works great! Obviously this means the conspiracy theorists were right all along

But enough of that, out camping all weekend so there!

It'd be really poetic if the way I go out is being flattened by a steamroller cause they could put on my grave "he spread himself too thin" :3

Philomena Cunk voice: Contrary to popular belief, "RIP" doesn't mean "rest in piece"; it means "requiescat in pace", which means "rest in peace"

Really wish psych types would discuss autism testing when i ask, but maybe my mask is too convincing and on very tight. They always brush off the question. But when I'm too comfortable or too stressed and the mask slips, I dunno man it sure looks like it

$5.52 USD? I feel so compensated 🥸 I hope the lawyers are happy with their $5.52 million yachts!

Actually don't mind the idea of N64 games being remade. My family went SNES->PS1 so I missed all the classic N64 games and when it went to play them years later found the controls janky af. Remakes with modern controls might let me see the hype finally

Oops, getting burnout panic attacks cause too much cool shit's going on but I'm actually an introvert and need more unstructured downtime than this Really gotta end up in a warmer climate someday where I can spread hiking and camping around the year more instead of cramming my fix into 3-4 mos

After last night, still got up at the usual time, rolled out of bed and headed for this week's hike, Ink Pots in Banff. Pictured: the valley just past those ink pots

The kids are correct for not drinking as much alcohol but sometimes, *when there are no stakes*, being drunk is fun like putting your physical controls on hard mode just to see if you can still execute the stair combo :3

It's 9:40 why tf do I live so far north that it's still light out

Wtf there's apparently a furry indie/punk scene‽ Pics featuring @boneduck.art @kadywerewing.cybersoupent.com and @daryldee.bsky.social

Mooooom, the government called my pee weird 😐

Really missing raiding lately. Nowhere to put it in the schedule for several months, but that doesn't mean I don't miss it

Off a bunch of supplements this week cause of blood work tomorrow morning and ooof, something on pause was definitely helping the energy levels. Probably all the B vitamins tbh, that makes a ton of sense

The app block software i downloaded only does 3 at a time without paying and I'm cheap so I had to unblock bsky so I could block YouTube XD That's fine though, the other blocked apps have essentially endless content but my bsky feed is definitely not endless

So obvs it's coding projects but those have been blocked in the past by chaotic life, shifting/poorly-defined priorities, being discouraged by AI running circles around my inexperienced ass, and ideas to help others that turn into obligations. I can mitigate those problems and get back in the saddle

Heard that song from o brother where art thou in a diner and felt compelled to watch it for the first time in 20+ years. It's more disjointed than I remembered it being but the music is still catchy, even if it's grating

Main emo thought of this down-period: I think I'm so guarded of my time cause I've never found a hobby I'm happy with besides a compulsion game. If I had a decent hobby, I'd know it was there waiting & wouldn't feel like rejecting all suggestions to leave space for a feeling I don't know how to get

Such a dreary day in this usually-sunny prairie town, and possibly not coincidentally,I haven't felt this crappy in a month or two. Actually had the thought: "if it was a work day, at least I'd know how to distract myself" which is the kind of thought that leads to being a workaholic. Please no.

This is such a ridiculous temporary radon mitigation system (actual mitigation coming in 3 weeks) but I'm proud that this stupidity actually totally works

God i *need* to stop biking so hard on the way home. I get home 5-10 minutes earlier then am dead for an hour and a half so it's not even efficient Got a watch coming with a heart rate monitor and gonna have it make nasty noises at me if I go over 85% of the recommended max heart rate

My answer has been: we were raised by cartoon animals and have the values of those cartoon animals. That media usually teaches, as OP mentions in a reply, radical self-expression and acceptance of yourself and others. It's hard to think of a furry cultural trait that doesn't flow from those values

The series of certification exams that were hanging over my head for the last 2.5 years are now done :0 That's for the job i have and some related possible upgrades, but now there's 3-4 more exams I've been told to do to look better for the job i actually want XD

star citizen is jank and has a billion key binds but somehow I'm detecting big opportunities for that brain off experience I'm looking for. This could be something

Got an itch to play Stellaris, but I'm used to playing with the DLC subscription and I dunno that I want to pay for a whole month when I might only play for one night. Oh, such problems, I feel faint

This has been great for not doomscrolling at work anymore. Been getting all my shit done and switching to studying during work hours so I can get ahead on that. Then at 4PM the apps unlock but all the big chats have 1000 messages so I skip all of them and do something else

Wonder how many times in life I'll try different routines, supplements or exclusions to make my mind and body work, only to figure out the source of the problems was fucked up self-imposed expectations stressing me out again Once or twice a year it seems, multiplied by however long i live probably

The initial plan for Saturdays this summer: hike, hike, rest, repeat. How Saturdays are actually looking: 5 hikes in a row then rest, hike, con, repeat. Summer's shaping up nice~

Wow I had to use y=mx+b today and man was that information cobwebbed af

Boredom turning into phone distraction is a huge problem getting stuff done at work and it doesn't make me look great. Hurts my chances for a change. Tried increasing vyvanse, but the next step up is too much. Just gotta power through until I can get a job I'm not bored of
