Aw darn. Coming wednesday is Terrible Xmas Sweater Day at job. I don't work on wednesdays. 😋

*Eyes the news* It is purple friday? I've never heard of this before... I don't think I've got anything purple, though... so this semi red/purple cardigan will have to do. :P

I have to admit I consider 'System Crash' a hidden gem. Cyberpunk deckbuilding card game? Looking solid and has a great tutorial? Gameplay is smooth and everything looks crisp? Backstory told nicely and I totally feel it? Damn... I'm going to enjoy this.

We can see that The Lord of the Rings Online has entered the festive winter season. Got him as a freebie from the dailies.

Good name too. I think I'll keep this name.

I would say this is a pretty decent game bundle for this month:

Build Your Own Holiday Bundle from Fanatical
fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/

Decent enough games in there for cheap prices.
Some of them draw my interest, so I'll probably grab a few as well.

That is a lot of 'XXXXXX played Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time.' in my Steam timeline. A fair amount even have gotten achievements already. The #1 one to be obtained seems to be 'The Fool' with the subtext 'Become a mercenary.'
Just a casual observation. ;)

I'm not entirely sure why I generated a Snail Tourist character on Elona. I mean.. that's the most gimped build you can make. At least my snail is badass with the bow! And I just taught it weightlifting too!

Bluh, blonde hair is very annoying to work with on a bright background... Thin blonde hair is even worse. This simply won't be able to look that good.

Uuuurghhhhhh... My workstation at job has US International as input language. That means deadkeys galore! 😒

I don't want US International, Ï júst wànt ä stáñdârd ÜS lãÿóût! And of course I can't change this! This stupid thing is locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

Good thing I've got my own laptop for the programming jobs and serious typing, otherwise this would be utter torture.

If you're going to pose with a safety vest on, don't put your hands on your back. You're going to look like you have got no arms in the picture, and that looks exceedingly silly.
*Emails colleague to re-take that picture* :P

Yay, Outlook Web App. If you've got a thread opened in the email list, and you want to click on an unrelated email below to read that one... the thread collapses and you click on some very different email instead. Yay. :P

I'll never quite understand computers.

"Trinsec, can you help me? I've always used this configuration but now the digiboard suddenly won't react anymore."

So I went to check... I swapped the USB plug of the dock with the USB mouse. Presto, everything works again. Why? No fucking clue, but it works. :P

I can't say that I'm enjoying the Rohan areas in The Lord of the Rings Online terribly much. It's large, the warsteeds are sluggish (as if you're driving a drifting oil tanker), and all those quests in that area are starting to look alike. I hope we're finishing up this map soon enough. Even in the movies I didn't like those horse folks. And I stopped reading the books when the fellowship encountered... you guessed it.. those horse folks. :P

I wouldn't mind eventually moving on to Helm's Deep or whatever comes next after this. I don't know, never been this far before. Last time I got pretty far was the Dunland area, and we're already way past that.

Come to think of it, Dunland wasn't that stellar either. The last real interesting area we've been in was Moria. I think that still might have been the pinnacle of this game and it all went downhill from there on. :P

It's only fun if you play it together with a buddy. It's a way to spend time together. And we can collectively moan about those stupid quests and NPCs. :P

Every time I get far into playing ADOM, somehow I want to play Elona again. That's such a fun and quirky game...

*Gigantic piece of text with images and various font decorations stored to clipboard*

*Pastes into Sublime Text* Whoa, that's fast.

*Pastes into Word*
*Sees Word screaming in agony* Uh oh...

Granted, that's with a shitton of various text markups and colors... hehehe. Still, Word ultimately managed it. Kudos. ;)

Actually, the savageous cuddling pretty much backfired. He kept returning. :P

So, I've taken the path of least resistance. I've locked him out of my room now. He can go stalk around in the rest of the house instead. :P

Mrm, my cat totally wants to go outside but the vet said he has to stay inside for 7 days.

I am so going to be brutally tortured by his staring and whining.

Only one way to counterattack! PETTING TIME! SAVAGEOUS CUDDLING!

The annoying thing about having your usual mastodon server suddenly dying on you is that you're too late to jot down who you were following, and that you don't really have a chance to let your followers know that you're moving away. :P Oh well!

Hi folks. Kinda looking for a new server to post my stuff in. My old one's been flaky regularly and has been down a while now.

I'm a gamer and a dabbling coder, so I might talk some nonsense about those topics. I work in an office in an educational setting where I might rant about MS software, ICT, and similar. Love Star Trek and more of those SciFi shows.

Any problems with this, or is this server chill enough to handle my random weird thoughts?
