@ComputerHusband huh, is that certain? i thought the centpedes in MY vagina thing, which i associated with SA, was before 2007.

my little joy on my regular writing gig is doing a mass replace of "you know, " -> [nothing] on the interview transcripts i write off of

got 46 this time. 92 fewer words to read

@frostotron this sorta thing?

@frostotron i haven't used them unpaired yet (like for a simple 4-player game) but i remain skeptical of their so-small size and yeah, the lack of a real d-pad.

@theoutrider stop, you're blowing my little microsoft-imprinted mind

@theoutrider pretty weird how C = default hard drive has stuck around past the point where it mostly made sense, huh?

started playing a Switch recently and working my way through mario

just did the water world and it was a very nice outing with pleasant visuals and enough water locomotion options that navigation didn't become a chore. still a sense that everything is too easy and lacking in complexity, though

i played with the adapter that puts the joy-cons into a standard controller form factor and (to my surprise) liked it much more than separate joy-cons. it felt like the right analog was at a considerably better angle for my thumb. in fact, both sticks actually felt more solid in general instead of undersized and imprecise

wow the black panther reviews are resoundingly positive across the board. sounds like it's not just another marvel movie. if they were gonna get just one of these so right, i'm thrilled it's this one

@thindol same. i actually hoped to be more affected.

beyond the superb aesthetics probably what i most appreciated was the portrayal of her sexuality

i was pretty hungry when i got home last night, having consumed minor substances throughout the day and then pure sugary snacks at the gathering (i could instantly feel my dormant cavities twinging)

i didn't have much to choose from but some salted guac on a low-carb tortilla somehow hit the spot. maybe there's something to that avocado toast thing :P

@silverswoop eyeballing that, it's at least a Triple Stuf

5. the soundtrack is very... fanciful? upbeat? for a sci-fi movie

6. when the opening title appeared i thought how it must have felt so grand to fans back in 1986, before TNG was a thing and ST content was still in short supply. as the cast's names appeared onscreen they would've been like "those our OUR PEOPLE"

7. various instances of "i must travel to earth to speak to someone" or "when you go vulcan say hi to mom". before the internet instantaneous long-distance communication was not in the zeitgeist, even in the 23rd century

8. the outlandish / cheap / garish / '80s alien getups in the court scenes are well worth freeze-frame inspection

instead of the super bowl friends and i reconvened for a last-minute Spoopy Bowl II. unlike last year the programming was not spoopy at all, star trek IV: the voyage home. again, last-minute thing. i'm just glad a spoopy bowl even happened

anyway, was struck by
1. 1986 marine biologist lady is a sketchily written, emotionally limited otaku who literally only cares about whales

2. Kirk's attempts to be sauve and smooth with her fall flat and he ends up being creepy a lot

3. Sulu is almost always smiling in the SF scenes and we are reasonably certain he traded sex for that Huey copter he obtained

4. Chekhov lost his rad leathers when he got captured :(

@thindol i found a lot to like in it!

randomly walked into the intermediate yoga class today and was surprised at some of the feats of strength other students could perform. i felt out of my league

on the bright side i was next to the mirror wall and now have confirmation that my ass looks great during pigeon pose (gender feels ✨)

i have been having motivation problems getting to the gym since the new year (only gone like 10x so far) so i'm pondering laying off the weight machine circuits and starting at-home bodyweight training.

then go to gym on off days to also start cardio, which i sorely need to work on. aaaand hit that sauna, which that recent bathhouse outing turned me onto.

guess my mom is concerned about the police

no, FOR the police 😬 😩

maybe there's no hope of reconnecting if she's this far gone

@Flamingsword i hear ya all too loud and clear.

someone on the FF12 Zodiac Age steam forum already found the original 2006 release's license board (game system for leveling up) in the files, accessible via cheat engine. (apparently some people miss the old one because reasons)

me, i'm hoping for an old-balance / hardtype mod

@Triplefox or maybe they had a Science Mishap
