Weird dream
I was in an open area close to my neighbourhood, near some public buildings. Suddenly I noticed there were flashing lights everywhere in those buildings, as if an alarm got tripped.
I looked up and saw a lot of planes coming from what I think was the northeast direction, they looked like old German WWII bombers with those iconic plus symbols on their wings. They were all dropping bombs in large numbers.
I tried to search for shelter and I headed towards the stone stairs at the closest public building, I intended to hide below them. I briefly hoped that my house wouldn't get hit so that my cat wouldn't be harmed.
Then my adrenaline had shot up enough for me to not be able to continue sleeping anymore. 😋

I'm not really agreeing with the current RIVM-rules about corona, which is to say: there's no rules anymore.
You don't need to self-test. And only when you have symptoms and feel sick you should stay home. We have to give this the same treatment as you would with the flu or the common cold.
One of my coworkers is infected, just found out this morning. They stay at work anyway. We've had like 8 infections so far in the past week.
Whelp, just a matter of time before I'm infected with this new strain as well. 🥴
#Work
Been feeling pretty lethargic today after work. So much so that my laptop is still in the bag. The only devices I have on me are my phone, my Steam Deck, and my TV with a Chromecast dongle.
I think I need a bigger TV...
I've tried to cast the Steam Deck to my TV without needing a Dock, and while still being able to use the Deck itself to play the games.
In a weird way I managed to get this to work. I have a simple Chromecast, so not one with Google TV as far as I am aware. So I can't install anything on that thing itself, so I needed a workaround...
I installed the Steam Link app on my phone, started a cast of my phone screen to the Chromecast, and then started Steam Link on my phone. As soon as I used the Deck, the onscreen controls of the phone disappeared.
The result? I can actually play games on the TV while using the Steam Deck as my controller. I can see the game screen on all 3 screens at once. Suffice to say that action games aren't a great idea due to the fairly large input lag, but turnbased games or puzzle games are perfectly playable.
It probably would be a bit more convenient to get a Chromecast where I can put the Steam Link app on it. Might still do that someday. In the meantime.. well I've tinkered and I've succeed. 😋

I thought The Croods was a hilarious movie, but The Croods: A New Age topped it in the second half. 😂
The first half was actually kind of slow, it needed to build up the story with cliche issues. Then the second half came along and it was a total rollercoaster ride that made short work of said issues. Got a lot of chuckles outta me because it all looked so ridiculous.
There's a good chance I'll rewatch it sometime because there were so many details that I likely missed. I loved it that they did a pose a few times and their names/titles came along, like it was some sort of anime introducing a character.
Can really recommend watching this too. 😆

The Croods was way more amusing than I expected. The landscapes are beautiful, the animals are quite varied and crazy, and this caveman family is just outright insane.
Lots of silly modern references, definitely not a story to take seriously. But if you can just sit back and watch (popcorn would fit here), it's just hilarious. And that sloth is a great support character. 😆

I'm currently watching The Croods, and the animals in this movie are very interesting. 😄
Now.. would this one be a Moustodon?

Just finished the first episode of One Piece.
What the holy hell have I been watching, lol. A crazy-ass pirate crew ((nope, not a crew)) ((not together)) in the making. Looks pretty smooth, I think I will get highly entertained by this series.
Not entirely sure what genre this would be. It has a dash of this, and a dash of that. Adventure, sorta fantasy, the high seas, anime-ish stuff (the way they pose), just crazy stuff in general. And it seems to work out so far.

Just finished watching The School of Good and Evil, and it was.... weird? Nice graphics, nice effects. The storyline just kinda went into all directions and actions didn't seem to have any long-term consequences at all. And the ending felt not quite finished? Huh, I've seen worse movies I suppose.

I'm amused at The Worst Witch's solution of having a character played by a different actor in a next season. They just make it so that it's an accident with a transformation spell, and after all the drama of trying to change back they finally decide that it's too late to turn back to their original look. 😋

@piggo Yay, thanks!
@piggo It's run by that one Jack somethingorother. Threads is the one by Zuck.
Hey, can you approve my follow request on my other new account? ;)
@grumpasaurus I wish...
@worldsendless Search kinda sucks and it was somewhere on the Fediverse I think. Can't say much more than that as I just saw it in passing by, was amused for a bit, and then went on with my life.
@worldsendless I believe I've read somewhere that Microsoft doesn't even use Teams for themselves. They use Slack or something like that. Says a lot. ;)
@sergeant Nah, there are good pizzerias. We know a few delicious ones.
@sergeant Meh, that one Italian pizzeria close to my place does this. 'We'd like more salmon and less salt please.' 'ok'. Delivery brings pizza. Result? VERY salty and almost no fish. O.o Not very healthy. Never going to order there again.
@olives Yup.
@knuppelbeer @hvangalen Ik vind de combinatie banaan-chocolade anders wel erg lekker.
Misschien de volgende keer de poll zo doen dat je meerdere antwoorden kan geven. ;)
