[We’ve actually been very tangibly improving at stuff like dead passing, nudging, and more carefully catching the ball. Nudging especially, we saved a few balls bouncing around the outlanes yesterday. Our accuracy needs to improve now.]

[We got 3rd in every round at the pinball monthly today. Very consistent.]

Still can’t believe Zutomayo gave us catboy Grey AND puppygirl Nira. Like where do they go from there

Blazblue is actually so fun. I hit Mu combos today during bracket that I usually struggle with, and had a decent grasp on what I was trying to do in neutral. Just gotta figure out how to deal with Tager lol

[We might be up to 5 of us now, which feels like a lot when it was just 2 of us for many years]

Audacity has returned to crashing on closing the program, requiring reopening it lest the project get corrupted (again). However, FL Studio no longer fails to exit il-bridge when closing so I guess there was a tradeoff somewhere down the line

Updated top albums list. Added a few things and moved some things around.

Uni is actually very really cool. Such a good fighting game

I hope Gohands never stops making anime. It’s just inexplicable Art.

They added a finish shot to the juggernaut mode in Uncanny Xmen and it completely threw me off

[I think both of us, across our Stern IC accounts, have like 6 or 7 characters stuck in these damn kobold mines. Why did they have to make the bullet heal to full if you drain?]

Twitch.tv/twak streaming Firmanent with #breakthrought1d for their steam sale!

We got like 5 PBs tonight: Jurassic park, Metallica remastered, Simpsons pinball party, Godzilla (huge one btw), and of course D&D. Good night for pinballing.

[So uhhhh I beat Cactus Canyon]

I think my feelings on Civ 7 mirror the general consensus I’ve seen, which is that it has cool mechanics hindered immensely by terrible UI, UX, and tutorialization.

I’m normally really good at feeling low and high blood sugars, but being very sick makes that much more difficult.

[Still feeling out my judgment on Stern D&D, but I can at least say that on day 1 it feels good to play. In a way that UXM only sometimes does, venom rarely does, and Wick never does.]

Doctor Doom is the incineroar of marvel 3

The Osu laser editor is pretty nice, though I cannot for the life of me find certain options that were crucial in the first one, like “mute the end of a slider so it does a 1-bear hit sound,” or “load a file”

Twitch.tv/twak did you know we stream? The Bazaar and then UFO50 are on the menu

I apologize ahead of time for not including 682 by This is the Glass House on the short list for Album of the Year. I had not listened to it until a week ago.

pronouns.cc/@Twak new pronoun page mostly done

The new Groove Coaster not having ad-libs is kinda sad. It’s a cool mechanic that rewards knowing and enjoying a song, and is used in pretty cool evocative ways. Like the call and response in the bridge on Chururira. Though I still can’t get over the one before any other notes on satisfaction

She may be a boring top tier but I’ll take Mai Natsume as trans rep. Now whether I’ll accept Platinum as plural rep is TBD.

I just found out that UXM actually just doesn’t show you your sentinel multiball progress anywhere. The info screen just goes to the achievements. At least, if it does show on the table, it’s hidden in an arcane language.

Rewatching Lost doing 1-2 episodes a week is rad because you get the full effect of cliffhangers. Just got to the episode where Boone dies and Locke has a crisis of faith and it would really have less impact if I just kept going through the season.
