I'm sorry the next Met Gala is devoted to WHOM??!!
Can we swap out Ryan Murphy for another gay?
Beast of Reincarnation is the Code Vein 2 of Sekiro and I mean it as a compliment.
I think winning a race where you get outspent by like a factor of 10 is a pretty solid outcome all things considered, if you wanted a landslide, I dunno which race you were watching

I made easy cottage cheese biscuits it's just flour baking powder creme freche and cottage cheese mixed together dolloped on a pan and baked at 200 Celsius and they're very good
Oh Beat of Reincarnation is totally my thing.
Anyway, a bit of vulnerablke talk: my physical and mental health have been quite touch and go these months. Sudden drops in heart rate (<45 bmp) and blood pressure (80/50) of unknown cause; sudden, intense bouts of fatigue; growing prostate pressing against the neck of the bladder; etc.
Shame we all sort of forgot Mutant Year Zero.
Not a bad morning. Compiled shaders for about 11 minutes. Turned off ray tracing. Increased text to legibile size. Connected the game launcher to my Steam PlayStation and Xbox accounts, listened to lengthy expository narration and then it was lunchtime.
USA Today excitedly discovering for the first time what taxes are.

Are we looking forward to Beast of Reincarnation or
This is when the party really gets started.
the bullies at school keep making me squeeze through narrow gaps so that they can seamlessly integrate cutscenes into gameplay without a loading screen.
Here to fondly reminisce about Anno 2070.
This morning's music: Franck's lone symphony. A fairly good representation of the state of my emotions.

I just gifted a copy of @boreal-tenebrae.bsky.social on my Steam friends list that wishlisted it. It's so good.
Someday the world will be ready for my Hamnet opinion.
But seriously did anyone have an issue gaining weight after they started running? I'm already in a deficit, deflating to see scale go up when calories go down. I'm sure it's water weight from muscle recovery, etc. But that doesn't make me feel better.
Kevin VanOrd π³οΈβπ π»@fiddlecub.bsky.social Β· 5d ago21.72 km - 13.5 miles - in 2 hours. A week into running, and I can already manage a half-marathon. This just doesn't seem real.
No but I think I might literally die of the anticipation. This betw exceeded every expectation I might have had, and gave me things I didn't know I needed till I had them. Mortal Shell 2 is the most Kevin game I know.

Remembering how the "Ebola Crisis" was literally *the* most covered news story - consistently framed as though it was a huge embarrassment to Obama - before the 2014 midterms (after which the media totally abandoned the story)

#NowSpinning (or, more precisely, just spun) this upsetting misfire of a disk. The Camerata Tchaikovsky Soloists and this arranger Y. Zhislin sucking the energy out of every note of my favourite Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante. Strauss' Metamorphoses is there too.
I forgot Silicon Knights did an X-Men game.
Alas, the beauty is only in that first glance. I can't recommend it.
