Entirely too old, entirely too tired. Will fully admit that I don't keep up with things so if I blab the wrong term for a thing, please just gently correct me instead of banging me with a rolling pin or something, I want to learn.

I can't even comprehend the world we're in now. As someone raised to believe in the good of people, I can feel my mind straining to keep itself together over all of this going on right now. How can we teach incoming generations right from wrong when wrong succeeds at every turn now.

Just a lil' bit.

I might be a fan of overkill in Queen's Blood.

God I'd love nothing more than to shake Tozuka's hand and thank him in person for Undead/Unluck, that was one of the best series I've read. I didn't think anything would dethrone Toriko for my favorite manga series, but here we are. Bumped down two spots by this and Yozakura Family.

Okay hold on this lemon pepper blend I got kind of fucks in the best way. Only just read the ingredients and I can guarantee they only likely added the turmeric to enrich the color but I can *taste* the extra bite now that I know. Best bowl of popcorn I've had in a while.

Okay Yozakura Family ended exactly how it should have... And shut up, I am so no not crying over yesterday's chapter of Undead/Unluck. You can't prove it, I am not causing a biblical flood with my tears, shut up.

Update: I finally actually *went* to Reindeer Fuck Valley and promptly decided 'no' the instant I couldn't see jack and/or all around me intermittently.

Finally digging in to modding Cyberpunk 2077 and I am. ... So overwhelmingly conflicted over there being a mod to romance Jesse Cox. Like on the one hand, I have at least one character that would have gone 'Huh he's not bad looking'. On the other. They don't need a case of 'Flaming Crotch Man 2.0'

One of these days I'll get up the nerve to do Reindeer Fuck Valley and the Petrify Lizard Gangbang Cave in Dark Souls 2 but until that day I'll take solace in finally dealing with the Iron Passage.

Got the level 99 bard kit and immediately recoiled in absolute revulsion, have the replacement 'wandering biwa bard' look I whipped up in its place.

The fun part of not being interested in a large plot in XIV means I can be incredibly petty with my pricing on items. Buying materials? I'll buy from the first person that looks like they weren't in a price war. Selling stuff and you undercut me by 1 gil? Tanking the price of the item.

...so *this* is a hangover. Family tolerance usually works. Either I've had worse migraines, or my friend knows how to make the gentlest throat-scorching moonshine in existence. Regardless, Happy New Year, for the love of god please let this year be the one humanity finally starts getting better.

I will never be a gpose expert like a lot of other people. But I can certainly coordinate an outfit I feel.

...I almost opened this up with a pun and I will bite it back but. Went back to Terraria finally and I forgot how fun it is. Though I also forgot how insufferable trying to find Sky Islands can be.

Sabotaging the 8-8-88 just so I can avoid the crippling social anxiety of bothering 3-4 other accounts with my follow. I just *really* worry that I'm too much of a mood-swinging goof for people, since there are times I get so venomous and then other times where I'm just like 'comfy=life'

Not me suddenly happy I made popcorn to munch on tonight now that a few dumb comments seem to be turning into an absolute domino effect on the entire Right. Like holy shit, y'all couldn't wait to get into office to start the slap fights, you had to do it in the election equivalent of a parking lot?

Okay I'm remembering why I never replayed Remake after my first playthrough on console. It's a little thing called The Drum and holy shit I hate this part I hate this part I hate this part I hate this part I hate this part. You guys made every single random mook from the OG into a Demonic Spider.

Having a brief moment of 'Oh my god what if we misread Undead Unluck's first ED all along' Like it's easy to assume it's Juiz but now that we're at the ending, what if that was Tozuka going 'Hey y'know what would be cool?' ... 'What if we showed one of the final antagonists in the first season.'

Playing through Final Fantasy V and y'know what. Remora is a fuckin' shining star among the summons that never gets time in the sun. Yes other summons do craploads of damage, yes Golem is a lifesaver. But the number of times I've had Remora inflict paralysis when it had no right to is absurd.

Companies say 'Happy Holidays' out of some absurd mindset that it'll please a greater percentage of people. I say 'Merry Christmas' first and 'Happy Holidays' afterward because I legit want people to have a good holiday season and I don't see any reason why the two should be mutually exclusive.

Okay after having two of yesterday's cookies as a christmas breakfast. I can officially say that it was not all of the baking that nearly put me into a coma. ...these things are like a power nap in a biscuit, I swear. I'm ready to go *right* the fuck back to sleep, caffeine be damned.

Y'know what, with the guys getting back to it, I'm gonna dig out an old favorite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGyW...

Having a moment of 'okay this dart hit too close this time around' going through the Shinra building in FF7R this time. My only hope is that we have a President Shinra situation sometime during the next 4 years, because shit's so cockeyed they'd never get it back together during the power transfer.

Explaining my baking methodology to anyone that sees me kneading cookie dough for 5 minutes and frets about 'overmixing', or freaks out about me eyeballing the brown sugar, or asks me why I'm not using a spoon to shape the cookies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl0h...

A solid hour of baking later and I have my first bulk batch of cookies done, with only a smidgen of quality lost in the mouth-feel department: a bit too crispy. But otherwise, the Ditto Cookie holds up to doubling just like it holds up to wanton flavoring fiddling.

In one of my fauxlosophical/dopey-theory mindwaves all of a sudden while eating dinner. Been toothless just about a year now, with no *huge* drive to use the falsies, and my brain kind of stumbled over how I've kind of realized flavor carries the day super hard now.

I am not politely asking. You are going to go play Dragon Quest 11 and you will see why the rest of us rave about this series.

"I'll cut 'em off." "I'll RIP them off." "...or I'll smash 'em." Eternal as long as gaming persists.
