Lurker > Tom Bombadil

Lucha 1-30: Chavo is playing every side he can, as he does. Curious why he settled for "protection from Mexico" over just, y'know, wiping out the debt that has "Mexico" after him. Mariachi Hava Nagila happens to us. Jack Evans sasses an audience member who looks suspiciously like Jake Roberts in a beaglepuss. Anyway, Evans/Argenis will be for a Medallion! Evans keeps doing things I've never seen before, and he gets the win. (***1/2) Not-Daivari, Ryck, and They Call Him Cage will challenge for the titles after Cage beats the snot out of Killshot. They play like this bothers Ryck but I think it was just last show he said money came first. Black Lotus ALMOST beats Chavo and the Crew with really bad movie kung fu. It took me a while to get used to it, but I kinda appreciate that Vampiro has his own kinda moral code and supports a mix of faces and heels. Ivelisse has the AUDACITY to sit on the sideline with a broken ankle. Kevin Dunn takes over as producer, judging by all these nonsensical cuts. Faces over after a Texano assist. (**1/2) Sexy/Penta in a submission match appears to be our main. If we had to have a jerk who shoots on her opponents, I wish we'd at least have gotten Yoshiko instead. Penta cuts a promo at the camera, instead of Sexy who is standing right there. Penta over with a Super Fly runin. (**1/2) Vampiro saves Sexy from the arm break, then has a breakdown in the bathroom.

SMRPG Rando: Clear! Peach never did really become useful on her own merits, but having her basically spam items taught me how good items were. Was worried I would lose to Smithy after the first Sledge or two, but after a while I could just wall with HP Rain and items. Wasn't nearly as easy as my first run, but I suspect it was faster?

Lathe of Heaven: Now we're getting into the good stuff I think, with all the reality warping and the character dynamics. Kinda gives me a Death Note vibe?

Trails: Can't find the last spot for the measuring devices but at least I got in some fishing and saw Cassius.

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Warcraft is one of those franchises I figure I would like but have never gotten around to trying! (other than Hearthstone)

IDW Sonic 7: That about wraps up the Zombots I guess! Kinda fun climax with a bunch of separate fights; most everybody got a little chance to shine! Nice to see everybody come back and things go back to colorful and (usually) happy. This is becoming, like, my comfort fandom or something.

IDW Jem 3: One zombie-adjacent arc ends, and another one begins, I guess? But this one is dealt with pretty quickly, through the power of unlikely teamwork! Really a fan of Pizzazz's character arc and excited to see where it goes. Kimber's too, actually, as she continues to be kinda the black sheep. Also, sudden trans representation! It's nice to see marginalized identities explored in depth, but there's imo definitely also something to be said for having people just....show up and do normal things like the normal person they are. Blaze appears to be mostly in the latter camp. You really get the sense that the comic is trying for diversity, (you've got lots of races and body sizes as well, and KimberxStormer is an actual canon thing) but it doesn't feel like they're ticking boxes like some casts.

Lathe of Heaven: This is an interesting premise and pretty good characters, but I have no idea where we're gonna go with it. It's not an instant favorite, but it has potential I reckon!

Aria 3-4- Those Who Aim for Tomorrow...: Akari is feeling a bit insecure, so we're sent to work the Traghetto, which seems to be like a training ground for Singles trying to break through to Primas. (or a destination for those who don't want to or can't) We work in tag teams with Singles from other companies, which gives us a chance to meet some new folks. (and scratch my Lethal Lottery itch :P) A nice time getting to know them, although I don't know if they'll ever show back up.

Les Mis: Marius is with the ABCs now!

SMRPG Rando: This run isn't as steamrolly as my first one, but I can get to endgame earlier! Peach has some snazzy equips but is nonetheless lagging behind in terms of....pretty much everything except having HP Rain, which is my only healing atm. Tempted to swap her back out for Mallow.

Since my holds aren't coming in (still!) I asked Wifebolo a while back to just grab me some random audiobooks. First one of that batch to finish up is Fuirously Happy by Jenny Lawson. I usually do fiction, especially for audiobooks, but hey, it's mental health related at a time I need all the help I can get. Was less serious than I anticipated, but was fun and had some good thoughts as well.

I have a really hard time narrowing it down, so I think in the past I've just picked whichever team I liked that was doing the best? I like Oceanics and Thunderbolts and Balls of Chaos and Team Primary and Kobalts and probably a couple others that didn't spring to mind. I wanna say there were a couple of teams that had some narrative stuff going that I liked, too. I also have a baseball team named after the O'Rangers in my tabletop game, lol.

Jelle's Marble Runs will take the "Western show" slot vacated by the ponies. Doesn't seem very write-up compatible, so I will most likely just point out when I've finished something? My plan is to watch all the Marble Leagues (that used to be Marble Olympics or something, right?) and see if I feel like watching more after. That's how I got my started with marble races (marbles in general really) so it'll be nice to just binge through the continuity, even if I've seen some of it before. It has been a while.

Smash: Just spirit board for the event. Got Azura but she was a pain!

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

FE: I was already annoyed that Catherine and Shamir weren't available to Girl Byleth, and I am extra annoyed after finishing their support. At least they're happy(?) tho. Phase 1(?) of the final(?) battle could be going better but I think we'll make it. Maybe.

SMRPG Rand: Lost a decent chunk of progress because I forgot that the Yaridovich slot comes AFTER the Jonathan Jones slot, and although my Bowser tanked a beating from Jinx, he couldn't quite win the 1v1 (Geno and Mallow went down in one hit)

MLP 9-26- The Last Problem: End of a dang era. I am not ready for the aged up versions, especially not Spike. I was also not ready for a pony named Luster. ....Appledash? Pinkie and Cheese?? Nice song with some callbacks. I kinda wish it was a long episode or two-parter or something, because I feel like there was a lot more they could've done, but I think it was quite nice anyway, and a good sendoff. Feels like what they were trying to do with Teen Titans a little, except, y'know, good. Was a good show. Was a very good show. Might give the new one a shot, but probably not immediately.

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Lucha 1-29: Muertes/Fenix predicted TakaMori tbqh. Mundo/Aerostar should be good but seems a bit off somehow. Still fun though, Mundo over. (**1/2) Oh good, a Sexy Star interview. Title match second on the show? Interesting, not sure what that implies. Both Hernandez and Puma show off a bunch, which seems to run against the title grudge match feel, and Vamp calls them both on it, in between Konnan rants. Puma uses a chair! Really neat spot with the crowd rail, even if it was a bit staged. The Konnan turn never comes, and Puma goes over! Solid. (***) Fenix/Muertes Deathmatch! He's got the Dark Order with him or smth. Fairly solid, Muertes freakin' murders him. (***) Speaking of murder, but less metaphorically, two of the Crew are forced to feed the third to Matanza or whatever. Geeze.

Disgaea 2: I started the mobile game now that it's out, so hey it synergizes nicely! Hopefully I beat this before the condensed version spoils me lol. Anyway I'm still kinda scared of the next map so I just did a bit o' grinding.

Gloomhaven: I assumed that buying an item and binding it to a character would have them, y'know, equip it. I was incorrect, so I have wasted a lot of money buying duplicates of things I already owned and just wasn't equipping! It also costs more money to bind them to somebody else instead. :\ Ah well, I don't seem to be having much trouble with the current quests available anyway.

Gunnerkrigg Ch 19-20: Zimmy/Gamma stuff is interesting, but dang the Nobodies are creepy. And some background ships too! And then more coyote shenanigans, nice.

LP MGS4 18-1: Weirdly fanservicey mission briefing, I guess. Act 5, I guess.

https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png
Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Aria 3-3 : We meet a patissier and inspire him to change up his packaging. And also drink a lot of lattes.

SMRPG Rand: Finished my first real attempt, started a second. It took several hours but I am confident I can get that trimmed down pretty well with practice and study. Gotta memorize some of the maps and improve my platforming, is the main thing. My second run is still pretty early on, but I had a lot easier time starting. I wonder if chaotic inventory+random equip effects is a bit too strong, because I keep winding up with really strong characters that are in trouble on the rare occasion that they let the enemy get a turn. Then again I got walled by a random early Octolot, so maybe it's okay.

Trails: Knocked out the Soldat extermination...was a bit of a slobberknocker but the hardest part was remembering (Googling) where the Soldat Army Road actually was lol.

https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png
Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Jem actually has trouble juggling everything, once in a while
Aja is a bit of a loner
Shana is a bit more introverted
Kimber is....Kimber, but a lot more so
Pizzazz has a non-jerk side, sometimes, maybe, and she has actual motivations behind most of her acting out
Stormer is a bit heavier, not as dumb, and the ship is specifically a thing
Rio is a reporter rather than a manager, and struggles between his loyalties and his job. And looks kinda like Phoenix Wright.
It's acknowledged as weird that somebody is named "Video"
Few other quirks that weren't there before, like Roxy really likes bagels, Pizazz is Jewish, stuff like that

Okay maybe it's not a lot on paper but they still feel more like real people with lives and relationships instead of say "Asian Jem" or "British Pizazz" (while retaining the over top zaniness and swapping out a bit of the 80s charm for 10's charm)

https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png
Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

FE: Why, it seems I actually am coming up on the final battle! I took a few 90%ish certifications and passed them all, so now I should be able to bring in everybody with, y'know, an actual decent kit. I think I will keep going for the other routes after.

IDW Sonic 6: Man, things keep getting worse! Lots of folks are starting to fall. Zavok is back. (not that I am actually that familiar with him, but hey more bad guys.) They even got Tangle :(

IDW Jem 2: Everybody gets character development movie reference dream sequences I guess? Also man, I just really appreciate that they have, like, individual personalities now. I liked the OG Jem but this is just a fantastic update.

Have started messing with SMRPG randomizer! It's not my first time, but there are a lot of features new to this version since the last time I dabbled, and it's pretty fun. Randomizers and speedruns always vaguely appealed to me but I never quite got into it, partially because there are few games I know well enough to do that with that also have a robust community. SMRPG fits both boxes though, so this could finally be my trip into that rabbit hole. I think I got a bit too ambitious with my flags, but I'm rolling now. After a rough start with Peach, I finally got Bowser, and with two early Super Suits with awesome offensive stats, I'm already outputting endgame-level damage. Lot of defensive and magic holes in my setup, but between two heavy DPS and Mallow getting Group Hug early, I think I can roll through most fights. I have a lot of room to improve my routing, though, but that is something that can come with practice and study.

Les Mis: Settin' up the next group of folks. Young revolutionaries in making, probably!

MLP 9-24+25- The Ending of the End: Man, nothing like jobbing out every single good guy. I forget how I got spoiled on the Discord thing but it was still a good twist. Goin' all JRPG on us with the creating problems for the heroes to solve and grow. THE PINKY AND THE BRAIN REFERENCE THOUGH. Several other good ones in there but that was amazing. ....Rivalled by the chocolate rain callback though! Really fun way to end the thing, although I guess there's an epilogue episode. Autoplay saw fit to show me adult Spike and I don't like it.

Gloomhaven: Got my first couple levels, so that's fun!

https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png
Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Gloomhaven: Got to the end of the tutorial and was rewarded with a whole lot of teambuilding options all at once. Kinda intimidating but kinda fun! Also knocked out my first "real" mission, which went quite well. Rolling with Brute, Cragheart, Tinkerer, and Scoundrel, which seems to be the easiest party I have available.

Gunnerkrigg: I am into Jones already. I also have headcanons about Parley already. Mort was a good time for his little bit! Also I think we're starting to get some more overarching plot stuff, with Jeanne and the robots and Annie working towards becoming a medium. Should be interesting!

LP MGSIV 17-2: Vamp and Naomi moments didn't do a whole ton for me, but what DOES do it for me is getting to pilot the dang Rex :D And fight Ray! And Liquid Ocelot gets to be a large ham! And Raiden gets to be run over by a battleship?

Was a pretty chill April Fools on my end!

Lucha 1-28: Marty the Moth opens against Puma. I'm into this guy already: interesting character, agile for his build, good selling. Puma over, but not without a fight. (***1/2) Hernandez shows up, and Konnan challenges him on behalf of Puma! Thought we were gonna get the heel turn and title change right there, but I guess not because Hernandez walked away. Call me crazy, but Vampiro is growing on me. Good interview with Mundo. Mundo references Del Rio slapping a dude, and steals his catchphrase, lol. Cueto is going to feed the Crew to Matanza or something if they don't win the titles in a ladder match. Daivari and Texano time! Texano's a tecnico now I guess? Striker points out it's a bit odd that the crowd's behind him now. Ryck takes out Texano suddenly for the DQ. (**1/2) Guess Daivari probably hired him. They bully the ref into counting 3 while Daivari poses on Texano, lol. Fenix/Muertes in a deathmatch next week, at what's-her-face's request. Black Lotus wants to kill Matanza, Chavo wants to help the dude keep her alive in exchange for clearing things up with Mexico. Trios Titles ladder! Ivelisse straight up on crutches. Some really innovative spots here, and a nice little callback with Angelico going for that same crazy dive but getting stopped. HOLY CRAP HE DROPKICKED HIM OFF THE LADDER FROM THE SECOND FLOOR. Ivelisse hobbles up the ladder to retain! (****)

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Trails: Spent my whole lunch break trying to figure out which of the several roads around was the Soldat Army one. Didn't quite find it, but got some fights in and met up with Anelace and Agate, accidentally advancing the main plot. Always good to see Anelace, rarely good to see Agate, especially as we start to indeed set up Agate/Tita. Why is that a thing she's like 10.

Smash: Think I cleared out the Sacred Land. Chrom took me way too much time to figure out lol. Boss Ganon was weirdly anticlimactic after how much I struggled with the Mii Plaza Emperor guy. Took the opportunity to get more familiar with Pyra and Mithra....still haven't played a Xeno, so they aren't likely to be mains, but I do enjoy them. Kinda wish I could pick which one to start with, because I prefer Mithra....takes me back to the Melee days where for some reason I couldn't always execute the Shiek trick.

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Wild!

Colour of Magic: I, uh, guess it's over! That was kinda abrupt even for a cliffhanger ending.

Gloomhaven: Game's still intro-ing all the characters and mechanics, I still don't quite have the hang of it.

Disgaea: Little Subpoena run....and I beat my first pirates! Not actually sure what to do with the map- I assume I'm supposed to go to its item world but I am not nearly strong enough lol.

Aria 3-2- That Smiling Customer...: Akari gets specifically requested, which is odd for a trainee. Her guest has clearly been to all of Akari's favorite spots already, building up a mystery of who exactly she is. Turns out she's just a fan of doing this and giving the kids some experience; she did this with the previous generation as well.

LP MGS 17-1: Raiden's back! Vamp's back! Very silly splitscreen fight ensues!

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Oh, sounds good!

I put requests out for Light Fantastic, Dark Forest, and Dawnshard, which I am guessing will come up in that order and possibly even the right timing. I'll have to figure out how to do the digital ebook stuff I guess?

https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png
Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Colour of Magic: I think my issue with this book is that it doesn't seem that cohesive. Like, there are a bunch of little self-contained adventures, and they are all cool and fun, but I'm like 3/4 of the way in and haven't really seen much of an overarching goal or plot other than surviving all the shenanigans. I like the writing style and world, so I'll probably continue, but it's a big shift from all the grand sweeping mostly-serious epics I've been listening to this whole time. Sidenote 1: I love any time that a non-American does an American accent. Sidenote 2: I wonder how I'd like Piers Anthony these days. I read a few of his a long time ago and I have had him and Pratchett conflated ever since. I feel like that's kinda fair.

Gloomhaven: OK, cleared the little mini-tutorial this time, and we're off to the races. It's struggling at a non-fullscreen resolution, and also trying to run the same time as a TEW sim with no plug >_>

IDW Sonic- Tangle & Whisper: I still really really love these two. Trauma! Bonding! Friendship! Anxiety! Personality dynamics not dissimilar to my marriage! In the side stories, I'm still not used to Silver being a dork lol.

Trails: I wasn't expecting a regular ol' peeping tom, but I also wasn't expecting Sheep Voltron. Guess that's our requisite relatively tame hot springs scene quota out of the way! Also knocked out an extermination and found all the orbment parts. One more extermination and then we get to do plot things!

MLP 9-23- The Big Mac Question: Solid! I'm always a fan of a good proposal or wedding, and this was a heckin cute one. Also always a fan of a good Discord episode.

FE: Team's starting to shape up for the last push!

Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

Colour of Magic: Dryads are fun, and so was that business at the temple. I like 8 as a mystical number. Hrun is kinda fun too.

My ongoing battle against my Steam backlog has led me to try to knock out some of the board games outside of the usual process. I'm imagining them as fairly quick casual experiences, but the next one up is....Gloomhaven, which I suspect is very much not that, after spending about an hour working through the rules. My solo board game group worships it, though, so I'm curious to see it for myself. Died on the first advanced tutorial, so we're off to a good start.

Lucha Underground 1-27: Evans/Aerostar to kick off, awesome. Coulda sworn he was already there, but I think I'm just confusing this with AEW lol. Thems is some high quality flippydoos, and Aerostar surprises me by picking up the W. (****) Big 7-way lucha for a MYSTERIOUS MEDALLION that I kinda know about due to TEW research. Some kinda contrived spots, but a solid match nonetheless, Fenix over. (***) Crew gets a title shot in a ladder match next week! I've watched too much Hololive and now I ship Fenix and Muertes. I keep forgetting Patron is a face, but he's going for #1 contendership against Hernandez. Either Striker and Vamp have found their stride or my tolerance has increased. Patron jumps through Cueto's window trying to get away from Mundo! (**1/2)

https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png
Radiant wings as the skies rejoice, arise, and illuminate the morn.

The remote work era is (theoretically) over for me, which means (among other things) audiobooks are back! There are like ten people ahead of me in queue for Rhythm of War, and the library doesn't even seem to know what Dawnshard is, so I'm gonna chill a sec on that. I think they finally have Dark Forest too, but it is also unavailable atm. But it's time to bust out something else I've been meaning to try (and did try back in the day, but have subsequently forgotten everything about)

The Colour of Magic: I wonder if I started a different book last time? All I remember is the luggage. I do like the sense of humor and vibe already, though. The reading order told me Death was a fan fave, and I can already see why, and the effect is enhanced by the booming voice and copious reverb this production gives his line, lol.

Gunnerkrigg: I feel like we're about to get some overarching plot started, but in the meantime there are amusing fairies and psychopomps. For whatever reason I always tend to enjoy fairies in whatever fandom or form, and Red and the other one are not exceptions.

Smash: New sword waifus are kinda fun even if I don't know em.

Trails: It is TITA TIME and also sidequest time. Gotta find some machine parts I guess. Kinda a neat idea but it's gonna get old fast. At least it's only eight things in two rooms!

Disgaea 2: Fought some Dragons. 's about it, since I screwed up a few times and decided to retry.

I imagine! I am glad my work simplified and expedited that process for me because it sounds a lot less fun for most folks.

Finished up Little Witch Academia with Wifebolo, after a rather lengthy hiatus. Was real dang good! I wouldn't have expected Trigger to be good at family friendly stuff but they done did it. (and it was still very Trigger)

FE: Chapter 20 BEATED after a heckuva fight. Killed the Death Knight and Caspar, hopefully I didn't screw something up. Had to surpress my instinct to try to kill everything, instead just driving down the east side, and only messing with the middle folks enough to get through.

Gunnerkrigg: I don't remember where exactly I was, so today is chapters 13 and 14 and the summer break stuff after. Still pretty fun; I don't quite remember all that was going on, but this doesn't seem like the kinda comic where you super need to. Lots of quality background faces this time. Annie is a whole mood trying to set up Kat with the bird guy. Coyote seems fun as well!

MLP 9-22- Growing Up is Hard to Do: Oh geeze, an aging up episode. I feel bad for Bloofy :( This whole "being big is all it takes" bit is triggering my impostor syndrome something fierce, lol. Pretty okay episode, maybe not my favorite ever but fine.

hey I'm alive still!

Sonic IDW Vol. 4+5: I still really love this. Characters, art, action....all of it is landing very consistently. We're now in an arc with "Zombots," which is interesting. Actual zombies are a bit too gory for me, but I've always found the kinda infection idea interesting in a world of established characters. (even if it does hit different in current year) "Zombie" roboticization is a good compromise for me! And Cream shows up, at the cost of infected Cheese and Chocola. Is a good time. Gotta remember to go back for the Tangle & Whisper special next time- one apparent issue with reading archivally like this is it's hard to tell when I should read the next main issue and when to throw in the specials.

Ran through an easy Classic mode with him...he ain't gonna be a main, but he's interesting and kinda fun.

We had three different pizzas for three different meals lol

Aria 2-26- That White, Kind City....: It's season finale time, and Akari is uncharacteristically pensive and introspective. We spend a lot of time thinking about growing up, and maybe following in Alicia's footsteps. We also make a big snowman with several assists from the locals. Particularly comfy even by this show's standards, and a bit of character development as well! Nice.

Wifebolo and I finished Outlaw Star! I can't help but compare it to Cowboy Bebop and rate it a notch lower, but ain't no shame in that. I really appreciated the use of color palettes in this one. Next up (maybe) is Digimon 2020.

Messed around with Dicey Dungeons a bit. Is fun! Won with Warrior but lost towards the end with the next few characters. Robot is pretty fun.

Lucha 1-27- Ancient Medallions: Opener is Aerostar against the debuting Jack Evans, should be good! And it was, assuming you like the rather choreographed flippydoos as much as I do. Aerostar goes over the overly cocky Evans. (***1/2) Bit of a Mack/Ryck confrontation, and now there's...a 7-way, for the first of the Medallions! I know more about where this is going than has been shown, thanks to TEW, but it looks fun. There's a sequence between Penta and Fenix and I'd honestly kinda rather just watch that as a full match, nothing against some of these other people. Lots of crazy looking bumps here, geeze. If I liked Sexy Star I'd be annoyed at how little the dudes are selling for her. She breaks up a double pin at 3.1 lol. Penta with like a package piledriver and widow's peak or something on Sexy and Fenix, daggum. Fenix > Penta in a gloriously indy spotfest.

FE: End of Chapter 20 kicked my butt but I have ideas for next time. I gotta get over my habit of seeing three different fronts I could fight on and trying to split my forces to do all three at the same time ^^;;

wifebolo surprised me by going to the library and we dug out our boom box so hey
Phoenix Endangered: I am pleased with this recap- I always appreciate a chance to catch up even when I haven't been away long enough to need it.

Hey guess what came up in the rotation

MLP 9-21- Daring Doubt: ...This episode aged REAL weird in light of Recent Events with JKR. (and my dropping of ASoIaF) Setting that aside, this was a pretty strong episode I thought! Development and face turns for everybody, some good Fluttershy moments, and Rainbow Dash.

Phoenix Unchained: Beated. I was kinda right after all about the Harrier thing, lol. And it was a nice way to end. I'm not quite sure why we keep getting equine waifus but hey the unicorn seems entertaining and I hope she sticks around. I'd say this was pretty middle of the road; I'd be interested in continuing but I'm also not on pins and needles to get to the library for the next installment. Which is good because I'm probably back to rarely leaving my apartment :D;;

The Electoral College is a momentously stupid system, but was implemented to solve the problem of heavily populated urban areas dictating policy decisions that would adversely affect rural populations. Going to a "popular vote" system would be just as stupid, but there has to be a better way.

I get the electoral college concept, I was just asking why we needed actual electors (which Yesmar explained as being due to states having the freedom to appoint electors by a means other than popular vote)

Increased productivity only applies on A) good mental health days B) that I don't spend recharging by binging vtubers. So far that's been a "pick maybe one" kinda situation >_>

Phoenix Unchained: Oh dang, I didn't realize how close we were to the end. Seems like a weird point in the story for that- we're gearing up to renew our journey but it doesn't feel like a climax.

Gunnerkrigg: Man it's been way too long between reading this uh what are we doing even. Whatever it was, we wrapped it up pretty quickly and did some pretty fun side story things. SPACEMONAUTS.

I don't get why we have to select specific electors in the first place instead of the votes just....going to whoever earned them. It seems like a needless step in the best case, and a recipe for weird faithless elector controversy in the worst.

I got approved for remote work for the time being, which is bad news for audiobooks but slightly good news for most other things. And for me.

Smash: Enderman is a lot better for some of these Adventure fights than others! I'm in the Sacred Lands now I guess, and just snagged Young Link.
