I wanted to go see a movie this morning but The Odyssey is full and I'd rather be run over by a steamroller than go see a Marvel movie in theaters, so The Spidered-Man is out, I may just watch a bootleg of The Odyssey on my phone in the bathtub, like Nolan intended

Woke up and went to shower but didn't realize how dehydrated I was so I brought back the old Shower Beer classic with a Waterloo® Sparkling Water Naturally Flavored with Black Cherry

In the bathroom, one win from Master Ball Rank, play a match. Lose. OK, play again. Lose. Start building a lose streak. OK, I'll play until I win. Leg starts falling asleep.

Just tried DragonSword Awakening and, maybe it's because the last three things I've played were FF7R, Echoes of Aincrad, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink, but I found myself trying to close the game before it ever even gave me the Close the Game option on my pause menu. A ton of tiny irritations at once

Maury Chaykin's character in My Cousin Vinny is like "no self-respecting Southerner would use instant grits" but really they're just ground up smaller so they can drink up the water faster, they're basically the same thing

According to Shakespeare, Julius Caesar said a coward dies a thousand times before their deaths, but then Hamlet says that death is an undiscovered country nobody comes back from. So which is it? Was Bill stupid or what??

Got ramen last night at a place that was like $12 for a bowl, which was great, very cheap for the area, but unfortunately it was made by the machine from X-Men 1 where Magneto turned that senator into a water balloon because it did the exact same thing to my insides

Been replaying FF7Remake to get a PC save for when Revelation comes out (and just because it's a good game), played in English first and Japanese this time, it's really interesting to see the slight differences in the characterizations and the messages being conveyed

Disappointed seeing an AI music video pop up on my sub feed from a certain channel I followed years ago. Seeing lots of arguments in the comments like, "Why pay $50k-100k for animators when u can do this free??" A slideshow of crudely drawn MS Paint images is also free & less tacky than this

My new thing is when someone posts a modded picture from FFXIV, I am like "whoa they added new gear that does (x)?" and when they explain that it's mods, I say "Ohhh, I don't use hacks in online games"

Went to pick up my phone out of my bed and, while I was leaning over, I got a muscle cramp in my leg that I didn't catch in time. Now I'm pretty sure it's all over for me. Put me down like a horse. Artist's Rendering:

I could be wrong, as I am and have been about many things, but using the word "hag" to describe older women seems insulting, which then makes sexualizing them feel objectifying/demeaning rather than a playful expression of desire or attraction or whatever

Playing FF16 and Expedition 33 both within two years of each other has taught me a lot about what makes a good RPG. Like if you make those, you've made a bad one and if you make a different thing than those, you've made a good one
