Is it odd that when we schedule remote hang out nights with friends, we’d rather play a ttrpg than watch other people play a ttrpg?

Does anyone have #ttrpg players that are more “consumers” than “collaborators” in story telling? As in, they play #pathfinder or #dnd with a desire for the GM to put a story in front of them and they merely react to it rather than attempt to integrate into it?

Outside is too rainy (and this neighborhood is a bit too unsafe) to go running but I need cardio. I bought a couple of kettlebells I thought I could do some cardio with at home. Any suggestions/links to kettlebell videos/routines to follow? #kettlebells #cardio

Been away for a while. Here’s what’s happened: 1) Stopped working out due to mental health issues. 2) Metaphor: Refantazio is my GotY 3) Playing DQ3 2D-HD now 4) Got a huge work promotion, but see point 1.

Spoiler for FFXVI (maybe): So I get the impression after the fight between Phoenix and Ifrit at the beginning of the game that I wasn’t supposed to immediately know that Ifrit was Clive. Now… I’m still playing so maybe it isn’t… but it seems obvious despite Clive acting like it’s some big mystery

Started using Flux and ended up with a harem of male chars to turn into a desktop wallpaper. Chars all generated individually, then I generated the background separately. I had to do editing in Krita to get the path wide enough, then positioned the chars and img2img to blend them into the scene.

So the best tacos I’ve had so far in Seattle (aside from homemade ones) have been fry bread tacos from Off the Rez. Do we just need to give up on “Mexican” and go for indigenous food options instead?

Here’s a tip: if you ever find yourself telling someone who they have to vote for… you might be an authoritarian.

Public transit should be free. Society created this problem of needing to travel long distances for work and basic necessities, it should shoulder the financial burden it causes. Tax the businesses that benefit from the access and car drivers who make inefficient use of the infrastructure.

Also liberals: stop calling people who criticize the Democratic Party “Russian bots” or “Fascists” or as a recent commenter said “fashy”. What the hell is wrong with you? Can you not take it that people disagree?

Democrats: how do you feel knowing that you didn’t get to voice your presidential nominee for 2024 and you won’t be able to do so in 2028 either if Harris wins (because Dems don’t oppose incumbents) so your next presidential primary is in 2032? The system is broken.

Liberals: stop calling yourself “left.” Do you like capitalism? Think it’s the best we can hope for and that communism “never works” is “great in theory” but “always leads to authoritarianism”? If so, you aren’t left.

Thirsty?

So the good news is the CIO of my company seems to love me and sounds like he wants to steal me from tech support to his department. The bad news is, it’s less “tech” and more “business”. Worse is the project he had me helping with this week was a bear. The good news is I’m done with that project.

Unpopular opinion(?): Memes are brain dead ways for people in an “in group” to pat themselves on the back about how clever they all are by referencing something that simply exists. Exhibit A: the Loss meme, amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

Chest and triceps day. #thirstTrap #muscle #muscleGrowth #gayMuscle #gay #gayFitness #bodybuilding #gayBodybuilder

Did a pull day today. Trying out the Hevy app. Seems nice. Might splurge for the one-time payment for pro because I *hate* the idea of a monthly sub for a workout tracker…

Reading politician responses to the Trump assassination attempt and seeing so much “violence is never acceptable” and “violence has no place in politics” If that’s true, politicians need to stop enacting violence on the people. Fuck that. Our founding fathers knew violence was sometimes needed.

Ok. Trying Sushi in this city for the first time. Probably should go downtown for it, but Sumo has good ratings and is walking distance so… #seattle
