I've been up north for almost a week now. The weather has been great and the mosquitoes plentiful. Woke up to rain hitting the roof of the cabin today so I decided to edit some photos I've taken over the last few days. #finland #photography #nature #fells #woods #lakes

Only now after getting home do I realize how much I, my clothes, and my stuff smell like woodsmoke. I guess sitting by a campfire for 5 days will do that, but DAMN. I woke up worrying that there was a fire in the building.

Finally back home after 5 days of sleeping in the woods and seeing metal bands. Here's some photos I took that I though were kinda nice. Didn't take as many as normal as the weather was kinda ass lol.

Couple shots of Noiduin and Havukruunu from last night. The weather was cold and rainy but I still enjoyed the first bands. I think the rain actually enhanced Havukruunu's show. Lot more bands to see the rest of the festival

Finally, #nummirock. I apologize for any drunken posting during the rest of the week. Most likely I'm gonna be completely quiet and not post anything. But just in case.

As I'm leaving for the festival tomorrow I don't wanna start playing anything too meaningful or time consuming. Just so that I don't have to leave it for a week before I get back. Just gonna be playing a bit of Trash Goblin to pass the time. It's such a nice cozy game

Forever grateful for video games.

Leaving for #Nummirock tomorrow. Got most of the essentials bought. Trying to remember everything I need to pack, but most likely I will forget something. Oh well, If I have my ticket, my phone, wallet and keys, I'll be fine.

Gonna be circling the merch stand at the festival like a shark. Looking for new patches. Here's the state of my jacket right now. My favourite thing on it is the At The Gates guitar pick I caught at their show like 6 years ago.

Line up the shirts I'm packing for the festival. Not pictured is the Neckbreakker shirt I'm wearing rn

Me packing clothes for a trip: Hmm... I'll be away for 5 days, so I better bring 10 pairs of underwear in case I shit myself every day.

Suns out but the metalhead fit wont give

I'm playing CIV VII and just noticed that the maintenance cost for the bank is just -3 Happiness and that's just so real

This is such a sick song but at the same time the story behind it is so sad. open.spotify.com/track/4cCPkc...

If you see this post snow Pic I took from the plane to Gdansk early last winter

CHESTER MCLAINE - “It's not like that. They're what you call *hetero-sexual life partners*. They have a battle-tested relationship. A 'bröderbund', if you will.”

Vacation time. No work for three weeks. Next week I'm going to a metal festival for 5 days because why not. And the week after that a road trip up north to go hiking and chilling at a cabin. And then almost a week of just straight chilling. I'm so happy I could cry.

Me tomorrow at EXACTLY 19.00:

Day 3 of gathering concrete rubble to make concrete slabs so I can build the 7 000 000 000 bridges needed to traverse this godforsaken map

One more day...

I GOT IN! I got into the school that I applied to! I'm super happy, excited and also scared. I haven't studied in at least 7 years. And this is a higher education that I did before. It's also for a subject that is still mostly foreign to me.

#Nummirock got Stratovarius to replace Cattle Decapitation after they had to cancel their tour. Getting a band to fill in a headliner act could not have been easy at such short notice. Way different genre, but I'm glad to have them. Been a while since I last saw them live. #metalsky

Two more days. Then no work for three weeks

I think I might need to buy a bigger truck...

I hope the Health & Safety officer doesn't find me

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

I was just putting Orin to bed and he said, “I don’t know how to use my life,” so now there’s three of us in the house like this.

I was playing Schedule 1 and RoadCraft the whole weekend and I can say both are great so far. Here's some thoughts. Schedule 1 is fun but kinda falls flat in the endgame. BUT it's early access and I believe made mostly one person. It kinda devolves into shelf stocking and delivery sim at the end.

😋

I've been thinking about Schedule 1 the whole day. It's a silly game, but so good. Just going "I'm gonna do this when I get home, then I'm gonna do that..." I love it when games do that to me. Occupy a part of my brain and give me enjoyment even though I am not actively playing it at this moment.

Friday vibes are energetic and optimistic. Currently blasting my favourite Anaal Nathrakh song into my ears. "As the world goes, the strong do what they can And the weak suffer what they must Shallow be thy graves" open.spotify.com/track/075jSm...

Bought RoadCraft yesterday and decided to nab Schedule 1 also Man I didn't even get to playing RoadCraft as I decided to "quickly try" Schedule 1 It's such a fun little build your empire kinda game. And as a game about drugs, appropriately addicting.

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

Got that Switch 2 👍🏻
