Fortune's Weave is so funny. I started with Cai since he seems like a Claude analog. It's a bit of a slow start, but it's an fun, optimistic "kids against the world" story. I swap over to Leda and its immediately murder o'clock. Boy, this game is great.

Bought a ticket for Coyote vs. Acme tonight and I'm running on 4 hours of sleep. Perhaps not the wisest decision, but you gotta go to the movies, baybee!

I regularly speed up podcasts by 1.5x, but for some reason, I think doing the same thing to an audiobook would be abhorrent.

I'm at a medical conference, and I'm being subjected to an "AI in wound care" lecture and I'm losing my mind. The lecture itself isn't terrible, albeit it's not very convincing, but the presenter has AI art on every slide and it looks awful.

Just finished reading Piranesi from Suzanna Clarke. It's very good, and short enough to finish in a couple sessions. Then I found out it has an award winning audiobook read by Chiwetel Ejiofor and now I feel cheated.

Fields of Mistria, I'm ready to devote 100+ hours to you, I just need you to fix this performance problem! It hurts to see my poor farmer stutter across the open areas until the game catches up and its back to normal.

Be ambivalent to me, I failed at donating blood today. (They said I wasn't hydrated enough and the flow was too slow) The worst part is I have to still wait 8 weeks until I can try again. Go donate blood in my stead!

The Red Cross is apparently critically low on blood, and I'd like to donate, but the available times and locations all suck. You would think it would be easier to give your blood away...

I hate when I'm playing a video game that I know is good, but I just don't get "the itch" for it. Nothing against them personally, it just didn't hit that addictive center of my brain. Some games, it becomes all I want to do until I'm finished, and others, I'm much more normal about.

Celeste is a great game, but boy do I suck at it. Rolled credits last night with well over 2000 deaths. Pretty satisfying to reach the summit though.

This is the most annoying phase of the weight loss journey. I've lost so much weight all my current clothes are so baggy and loose, but all the pre-weight gain clothes are still way too tight. Do I dare buy clothes I know will only last a couple months, so just be the baggy clothing guy for a while?

My baby niece doesn't really like me all that much, but she clearly thinks I'm the weak link in the family. If she wants a snack or someone to turn on the TV after Mom said no, she suddenly gets all buddy-buddy with me, and darn it if it doesn't work

My mom is here visiting, and while I was at work, she decided to trim this rosebush I have, and long story short I didn't have a vase and she didn't want me to go buy one, so this was her solution. Yes, that is a shot glass, and no, I don't think I approve.

Leg press is such a vanity exercise at the gym. It's a nice ego boost, sure, but it just doesn't feel like real strength.

I’d never do Simpsons trivia because I know roughly 10000x more about the Simpsons than the median human being and roughly 10000x less than bearded men who do Simpsons trivia

I have endless patience explaining the rules of a TTRPG to my fellow players, but if I have to explain a board game more than twice while we are playing it together? Go straight to jail. This probably says something about me, but I'm not sure what.

I still consider myself a pretty recent transplant to Pittsburgh, so it's always exciting to see what else this city has to offer. Didn't even know there were cherry blossoms there. Gotta appreciate those who go out there to show it to us!

I'm playing through Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and having a great time, but I have one major pet peeve. Any time a party member casts magic, there's a small noise that sounds EXACTLY like a smoke detector low battery chirp. It's killing me

At a free personal training consultation at the gym this morning and the trainer keeps telling me to keep my heart rate elevated. As a heavy guy, I wanted to say something like "my HR was in the fat burn zone just walking from the water fountain to here, I don't think you need to worry about that."

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I have a group of friends who always want to play the hot new AAA game, but I don't really like shooters. I mostly play them in order to socialize. Every time I turn down their recommendations for the next game, it feels like I'm gently breaking up with them. It's not you (ARC Raiders), it's me...

Finally directed my first game of Draw Steel tonight! A few bumps early as both my players and I were learning the game, but picked up speed quickly. Also, big shout out to all the fan-made help tools. Things like Forge Steel are a gamechanger for tracking resources and whatnot.

Finally getting around to playing the original Hades now that the sequel is out. It's a fantastic, well designed game that I unfortunately suck at. What do you mean I need to take on both Theseus and the Minotaur at the same time?? Rude.
