finding out how your body works is cool but if someone says four infections across 20+ years is a sign of a medical condition I would consider pushing them into a creek without checking if their phone is waterproof

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Tonight at 4pm Pacific: HADES TWOOOOO!!!

Well, well, well, well, well. Look who finally got access to the technical test. We are going into what may be my most anticipated release of this year, the sequel to the game that really kicked off my twitch channel in the first place, the first ever sequel from my favorite games studio. THE RULES OF HADES 2 DRUNK MODE ARE SIMPLE: DRINK WHEN WE WIN, DRINK WHEN WE DIE. See y'all then!

Putting on makeup to get a good grade in being a patient shouldn't be something I feel compelled to do lest the new doctor I've never met before write down that I'm apathetic about my appearance and thus clearly Mentally Unwell when I'm not there to talk about my mental health shouldn't be normal, and yet it's happened to me several times in the past so here we are...

So, I decided to be responsible and not start a game of Manor Lords before my hospital appointment because chances are I'd get sucked into the void and miss the appointment. Instead, the game shall be my reward for getting to the appointment on time.

And I am 100% hating this. It is taking everything in me not to load up Steam. I am holding myself back like a scruffed, feral raccoon.

goat fight. non-negotiable.

What do you use to wash your laundry? I'm curious because my wife is very sensitive to lots of things, though not to the degree you are. We use ECOS soap and it works wonderfully for us, but my little ADHD brain keeps wondering what you use. Curiosity and such.

ECOS is fine, definitely one of the ones I react to less.

I rotate between the Ecover Zero powder (also the brand I use for the dishwasher) and the Biokleen Free and Clear Powder, depending on which one I can get on sale. I was using Aspen Clean Unscented liquid detergent for a while, but they hiked their price and I didn't like how many plastic bottles I was going through with them, so I switched back to powdered detergents.

I'm currently using up my 10lb box of Biokleen at the moment which is showing no signs of depleting almost a year after buying it 😅

I've got a hospital appointment in, like, four hours, so I'll have to surface for air for that. But once I'm home again with zero distractions? Eeeeh probably a few days.

Also,

Friend: What about you? Any plans for the weekend?

Me, knowing full well that the Manor Lords game is coming out on Friday, and I'm going to let it consume me: Oh, y'know... not much.

Something else I really appreciate is the romantic chemistry season 1 builds between Alfred and Martha, which goes so far as to culminate in a kiss, only for Martha to drop Alfred the moment she realizes Thomas-- who so far has done nothing but annoy her-- is the exact type of sexually repressed neurotic she can make crawl over broken glass for her.

And they just never bring it up again.

This is a man with so much game that he can ghost the Queen of England, and she'll still call his mum to try and get his attention. And Martha's just like, "That's great and all, but I can make this one worse."

Being in the Pennyworth fandom will have you googling shit like "How to fortify an umbrella against acid rain" to try and give a smidge of credibility to the storyline you're plotting.

Meanwhile, the official writers are just giving interviews like, "Yeah, the mad cultists who got turned into super weapons by a drug activated by a popular song sung by Alfred Pennyworth's pop star girlfriend survived the nuclear bomb that got dropped on London, so now there are these irradiated mutant cultists cannibals roaming the streets of London who go ballistic for 70s pop ballads. What do you mean, 'how did we plan to resolve that?'"

Me, meticulously plotting out the flight path from Edinburgh to a fictional city in New Jersey so I can give an accurate travel time for the story.

Also, me: "I wonder what food was popular in New Jersey in the 70s. I should look that up so I know what kind of culture shock Alfred goes through when he gets there..."

Heller et al., vibrating into the thirteenth circle of hell, absolutely mad with power: Jack the Ripper's descendent is a mafia gang boss in the East End of London named John Ripper, who works as an undertaker to provide for his cannibalistic desires. Everyone knows this and is cool with it. Also, when Alfred is depressed, he'll randomly show up and take him jogging through the cemetery to extoll the mental health virtues of exercise and fresh air.

Heller et al. being dragged off the stage by men in white coats: ALSO, famed and notorious occultist and RAGING bisexual Alistair Crowley wants to FUCK Thomas Wayne. In fact, he steals his SOUL with a KISS. ALSO, THE REASON BRUCE'S PARENTS DIE IN THE ALLEYWAY IS A DEAL THOMAS MADE WITH THE DEVIL TO PROTECT THE US GOVERNMENT AS A CIA AGENT. TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME; THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SATANIC ORGIES IN HYDE PARK.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
