mastodon 4.7.3I do not guarantee results; all execution times are finite.
Software development manager by day, gaming and story media enthusiast by night. Canadian by choice, Serbian by birth. Atheist. Absurdist. Sincerely a woke leftie. Here to talk mostly about RPGs, but realistically I will talk politics a lot.
He/him; cishet male and aware of the baggage that comes with it. Husband, father and a geriatric Millennial. Diagnosed with ADHD very late in life.
Trans rights are human rights.
I talked to one of the engineers on my team today. There are some frustrating communication hiccups between two locations collaborating on a project. And after pointing out some issues, he goes:
"Look, I don't want to be Poilievre here, I'm not just complaining to complain."
Timbit Trump's legacy just may be becoming a Canadian slang word for talentless, visionless, irritating, solution-free complaining.
"AOC unveils Q27G20SM gaming monitor"
It took me nearly a minute to remember AOC is a hardware company and that this wasn't some sort of an interview with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in which she showed off her gaming rig.
I may spend too much time reading politics.
Instructions for the one and only correct way to eat popcorn:
1. Put popcorn in a large bowl and place the bowl within reach
2. Grab a fistful of popcorn with one hand
3. Use the other hand to grab a smaller amount of popcorn from the first hand
4. Put exactly one popcorn from the hand with the smaller amount into your mouth and consume it
Repeat steps as appropriate, until no more popcorn exists on the premises. This is the only legal stopping point when eating popcorn.
Everyone hold up, I think I have figured out the mystery of Stonehenge.
Someone probably just stacked those rocks a long time ago.
I am generally a news junky, but it appears I just started avoiding... Like. Everything. Mastodon included. It wasn't really planned, I just realized I stopped wanting to tap all these phone icons that get the batshit craziness of today's world flooding my brain.
I am sure that will go away. It always does. But I think, for the moment, I'mma be a bit less online.
My 5 year old loves the Quest Kids boardgame. He plays it at least once a day, especially after we got him an expansion set. And as a gamer parent, it is a really excellent game for kids to get them into the hobby and teach them many core gaming concepts.
One issue is, recently he decided he will only play with my wife. If it's only me around, he will invite me to sit with him and he will explain what he's doing, but will play solo.
I finally concluded he just thinks I suck at the game.
Light of Motiram, the Tencent game Sony filed a lawsuit against because it was a direct Horizon ripoff, legitimately looks more like Horizon and less damaging to the brand than the newly announced Horizon mobile MMO which seems to mainly be an anime dress up game.
Cannon Fodder was an excellent game.
A bit over 50 years ago, Waterloo by ABBA came out and invited controversy with a buncha folks complaining that it trivialized war casualties.
It was a simpler time. I wish the top of mind thing for people these days was possibly careless metaphors for romantic mixups.
