"Why do I have one sock?" is one of the safety-points I've worked out over decades of drinking.

Good night.

I'm liking my PS5 so far but not so much liking how fucking much new games cost.

Damn that's a lot! That's not even a collector's edition I presume too.

Nah. Just the standard digital version.

I'm finding a lot of new games after being out for about 5-6 weeks tend to go on a 15 to 20% off sale, I held off a month on Midnight Suns and it went to about 43 usd from 60. I'm struggling to pay about 80 after tax for a new release.

I should start waiting for games to go on sale. I need to start being a bit smarter with my money since everything is getting so expensive.

101.69... nice

Been playin Diablo 4 all day. After the initial login bullshit I finally got to play today with no issues. Game honestly has potential. Just for the limited shit you can do in this one there's A LOT going on in this game. As long as they don't fuck it up!

Neat. I watched a Angry Joe impressions video about it which had one of those obnoxious face thumbnail videos *sighs* I just deleted it from my history after watching it.

I got almost nothing from it other than yea it's Diablo and the cut scenes seem fantastic looking, but no one plays Diablo for that. I might have been the only person who cared about the lore in Diablo 3 when I played it early on.

when is it fully releasing? I want to wait until price drops

Right on. I haven't played much Diablo but it seems like a cool series.

I've currently been going back and forth between Dead Space Remake, Prodeus and Trails to Azure.

True open beta is soon-ish. To get into this one you had to buy some KFC sandwiches or use WoW money I think.

Not sure when the full release but I figure still sometimes a way off since this was the teaser open beta.

June 6th is the official release.

Servers will get bombed and go down June 6th too. Welcome to the internet!!

Gosh I remember this old memey pic I used to have of these hamsters all moving around like crazy before the servers launched and then like someone lifts up like one gateway and all the hamsters fall over and crash into each other (for the D3 launch). Sort of like a horse race where the real horses get too excited except more MxC style.

New Mexico drivers are so fucking stupid, you fit right in down here Johnny.

I gotta get in my st patrick's day still. Eh I usually say I am from wNY. So here's some band, I don't even know really I heard on Shredd and Ragan years ago. I think they do a good job playing a classic Irish tune. I also played your tune acab. I thought it was going to be way louder for some reason.

Is he related to Johnny Paycheck? Hah what's the song I remember from last (x3) St Patrick's Day. Dance with the living dead can work anyday hehe but yeah me see if I can dig something like that up after yours.

I watch this a lot.

Both the song and video are wicked.

It's a real cool video and song. I got turned onto it all those st. patrick's celebrations ago. I think it was either 2018/2019. I got bombed on Discord and it was so much fun.

no one is going to care about this I guess if they aren't a DM fan already but here is the second DM single. Album is out in sex days. Can you guess what the third reference is from. It was a mix of a Simpsons thing and a 90s song.

That first Interpol.

I've mentioned in the past that I sometimes have random unexpected wildlife encounters on the way to or from the liquor store.

Tonight I got to chill with an owl for like 5 minutes. I've never seen one in person in the wild (only in zoos/animal santuaries). This one was just perched on the fence that runs by the cemetary near where I live. I suck at figuring out how to get pics from phone onto computer but I will try later. I didn't get good pics but they aren't bad. Still, I got about a foot away from coaxing it to hop onto my arm (I was wearing a hoodie with a leather jacket over it and my hand was fully concealed inside the sleeve so I was not worried about it biting or clawing. I just offered my arm as a perch and moved toward it super slowly. Ultimately it declined and flew to the ground and then into a tree. Probably didn't like the camera flashes from my pics beforehand, and I don't blame it for that, but I wanted pics first and foremost. Still, that was fucking awesome. I've never seen a wild owl in person before and I got within a foot of this one. And some chick walked by as if nothing interesting was happening and I was thinking "bitch do you NOT SEE THERE'S A FUCKING HUGE OWL JUST CHILLIN HERE ON THIS FENCE WTF HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE THAT?!" Cars were driving by so it's not like it was too dark for her to see. *Shrugs* some people just don't appreciate owls I guess :(

jesus helicopter-dicking christ I just spent over an hour drunkenly fucking around with computer and phone just trying to make it so I can send pics back and forth and it all went fucky but I got the one pic sent over that I really wanted to so it was not all for nothing...

Man that's awesome, rarely I see an owl on a fence post, or swoop down at night when i'm driving, but never got anywhere near this close.

yeah it was fucking crazy. It was clearly agitated by my camera flashes but I stayed close by, and as I moved around, I moved in a semi-circle around the fence based on its position so that I seemed less of the a threat and I kept low also. I wanted to get as many good chances to get close as possible. It surprisingly stuck around. Even after my last pic when it went up into a tree, it was tree along the same sidewalk and it watched me as I went on my way, and I looked back for a good while too, hoping I could convey a message of respect and appreciation. There was a good amount of eye contact throughout. I was just like "please don't fly off before I get pics..." the whole time lol

They have an impressive wingspan also, there must be a lot that live around here because I hear them at night, and summer especially, driving to or from work at night, sometimes they will swoop out of a tree and look massive. I can see them being responsible for some old cryptid tales, you don't expect to see a large bird at night, and how quick they can flash in front of you with their size, prime candidate for misidentification.

This one was probably about 3 ft wingspan. Standing height was about consistent to look an average cat in the face eye to eye. Funny thing I've never heard one around here in the nearly 10 years I've been here. I heard them at my parents' old house when they lived on a hill/in the woods, a lot in fact... different types based on the hooting patterns... but never saw one there. I'm curious to find out the exact species. Obviously not great horned. Too big to be screech. Beyond that I don't know enough about owls lol. It was a fucking bro for letting me get so close and take pics though, and to stick around after I got too close. Kinda felt like at the end it was like "aight that's enough, human. Keep your distance now, dude" and I was like *nods* "the dude abides"

Probably jut a plain old barred owl.

looks right

Tested positive for covid. Gotta isolate myself in my house for the next few days away from my son :(

Luckily I have my computer and just bought FFVIIR on the steam spring sale so guess I'll get started on that soon...

Smackems tested for it today also

Hope it doesnt hit you hard, get some down time to rest and game for a bit at least.

damn. Hope both you coviders get well quickly and don't have any of the real shit symptoms :(

Fuck this fucking company.

I just got shit for not doing hourly charting... when I'm working alone taking care of 17 people for the 5th or 6th time in the last two weeks.

Was told the health authority would have taken over today if they were doing the audit instead of head office. Holy shit I wish the health authority was doing the audit. If they took over we'd have management that did their goddamn jobs and we'd actually have adequate staffing.

17 people. half of whom are incontinent and bed ridden, some can't even feed themselves, and the tablet we have to use to chart is 15 fuckibg years old and barely works half the time.

Fucking buncha clowns.

So... management is basically telling you to be a whistle-blower.

Hmmm i like the way you see things.

Yeahhhhh keep on not charting! Fuck management right in the ass area.

They made one of our departments come back to the office this week. Im still working from home Saturdays but I can already guarantee were going to lose two of those people and for no good reason.
