Day 2 of yellowish and Smokey conditions. Smells of burning wood. Quietest I’ve seen the area in ages. #onpoli #cdnpoli #Ontario #forestfires #climatechange

Yellow and smoke in the sky over a football pitch.

I didn’t realize the thunderstorm we got in #StCatharines last night was that bad. Multiple trees down all over the place. Heat, plus strong winds plus daily t-storms 😤 #ClimateChange #squirrel #Ontario

The #POE2 "sale" on #Steam rubs me the wrong way. It's not 50% off. It's just a new cheaper supporter pack at regular price that happens to have 50% less of the in-game currency. 50% off sale would mean 300 points, not 150.

Path of Exile 2 claiming there is a "50% off sale", when it's just a new supporter pack with 50% less in-game currency.

Ok so fires are by far my least favourite thing in #Paralives lol He runs out and does nothing. Manage to extinguish some of the fire before catching fire, then just standing there. After a few minutes I finally am able to call the firefighters. But no-show. Rinse repeat 3 times before coming.

One of my paras was working on getting a boyfriend. I think this person was happy for us. #Paralives

My gay paralives character had his first kiss with his (potential) boyfriend, outside the gym they met at. Guy in background seems happy.

And yes my guy left the house in his pjs, while his (potential) boyfriend really only ever walks around in his blue shorts, blue shoes and topless.

I need to go back to my nonbinary queer character again.

My Para-sim got their second social perk (good at romantic relationships), which made it easier to finally start dating (Emma Coldway). It's honestly nice that you can't romance, woohoo, marry half the town in the first day, unlike Sims 4. #Paralives.

My goofy para-sim-character pointing at Emma Coldway. Both dressed in black standing in front of purple/blue flowers.

Also seriously what are we calling "sims" in Paralives?

After constantly using a screenshot from Luma Island as my banner photo, time to update with one from #Paralives now.

Just getting into #Paralives now. While currently limited, I must say I do like the character creator quite a bit and the initial start. Ry Sparrow, #Nonbinary #Queer, loner - para-character (what's the new word for 'sim'?).

Ry Sparrow, my queer nonbinary paralives character. They are wearing a black tshirt with mushrooms, green skinny cargo pants, black sandals. Their toe and finger nails have a clearish nail polish on.

Downloading #Paralives now, can't wait to play it later. Also $45(CAD) seems like a pretty fair price (I say before even playing it).

Steam download interface. Downloading Paralives.

Found out. Guess we went back in time 10+ years ago 🫠 Kind ironic how Anita was going to collapse the games industry and west a decade ago as well. Tbh all I know of her is from rw-youtube videos from 2014-2016, but it's kinda funny how scared people remain of Anita Sarkeesian still.

This was the first negative I review I saw: 1. With a username like that I already am suspect. 2. Calling a completed/finished game "abandonware" is also...something.

Got to love getting a notification on Steam, seeing it's someone responding to a review I commented on back in February...only to see another dumbass american take 🤷 US cowardice only has them trying to take smaller countries. China would steamroll the US.

"I hope the U.S. takes China one day. And all most of corrupt Europe as well. The E.U. should be disbanded along with NATO. Then cry me a river lib."

I don't really care about Steam Achievements or trying to 100% them, however #ThriftyBusiness is now my third 100% game. Time to start over now.

Steam library page for Thrifty Business.

A few bucks cheaper than I expected, time to put my SteamDeck games on hold and go back to the PC for #Solasta2!

"Bushisms" were pretty funny at times. When he visited Ottawa, a bunch of people lined the street to flip him off. When asked about it he said "well some people waved with all 5 fingers"

Bush, saying he knew his decision to invade Iraq was not popular in Canada, said the pros and cons were the grist of debate, but "that's a good thing about democracy, people can express themselves freely."

"I frankly, felt like the reception we received on the way in from the airport was warm and hospitable, and I was to tank the Canadian people who came out to wave, with all five fingers - for the hospitality".
