Meant to take the holiday decorations down but instead I finished my puzzle (the first part) and then made gyros and blueberry chocolate with the kids.

Wife and kids are out of town for a couple weeks doing family stuff, which means I am once again considering streaming video games. If you would like to see me play Overwatch Stadium with a bunch of arguably unnecessary commentary, let me know!

That adhd moment where you brain simultaneously says go to the bathroom, switch the laundry, find your daughter’s Halloween costume, and tell your wife about the video game you started playing while she was out of town all at once and very loudly.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

11 of the last 15 games have been 3-0 wins or loses. 3 games were 3-1 wins/loses, and only 1 games was a 3-2 win. This matchmaking fucking blows chunks...

There will always be heroes in Overwatch that simply rely on mechanical aiming, which I will always be bad at, and there is no way for me to play let alone enjoy them. This realization has helped contextualize video gaming for me:

Here's an important moment: Your initial reaction is probably "republicans are dumb". Which is funny. But they are not dumb, they are absolutely weaponizing their narrow-minded supporters. It's not funny, this is harmful anti-trans rhetoric. Don't focus on the dumb, focus on the bigotry.

Me not being shocked or upset that a rancid, hateful bigot finally pushed someone too far is not the same as me wishing harm on others. Also: this guy literally said, on multiple occasions, that gun violence is an acceptable price for 2nd amendment freedoms, so actually he should be fine with this.

I have no faith in Republicans and Conservatives, because they absolutely operate in bad faith, but I am curious to see if/how the conversation on mass shootings and gun violence changes after today's events. The media and political response is already far and above what we get for school kids.

Overwatch Stadium quick play is settling back into the classic extremes of roll or be rolled. I am so exhausted. It's 2025. We put cars on Mars. Why can't matchmaking not suck?

I'm never a "meta" person, but when Pharah is picked in 90%+ of games and, if you don't counter her you lose, that's starting to feel like a balance problem.

The most frustrating part about watching enemy Mercy players just float around, untouched, is that I KNOW if I switch to Mercy I will immediately be deleted out of the air.

Was waiting to apply to test a crochet plush pattern but then the post was set up like a giveaway (comment and tag a friend) and was hinting that you needed an account that could promote the pattern too and... I don't know. Really turned me off.

Knitting Hot Take: Red Heart Super Saver yarn is affordable, widely available, comes in a ton of colors, works great for plushies, and is perfect for beginners. Hatred for Super Saver always smacks of snobbery to me. 🧶
