One of the biggest methods of fighting back has been incessant demoralization.
My favorite quote thus far, shouted from a foot away from a nazi's face: "I hope the last time you're parents see you you're hanging from a light post."

There is only a single game I want in my life right now.
Slay the Spire 2.

Spending the morning slogging through work listening to the album The Sound a Body Makes When It's Still by Hot Mulligan.

I just love their lyrics so goddamn much.

It Smells Like Fudge Axe In Here:

It Smells Like Fudge Axe in Here
Song by Hot Mulligan


Is it a calling card, distinct and set apart to hate who you have been?
Is it a certain age when you start going grey and so you're set in your ways?
I can't be what you want, I never fit the description, or collar, the pace
There's something wrong with me
Some poison swims through my system and leaves me ashamed
Collapse with the weather
Pulled under the knife (you can't cut it outta me)
Fail to recognize (there's no sense in trying)
Hollowed out inside (looking for something you need)
Close and call the time
Look close and watch how the
Cancer spreads through the body 'til there's nothing left
Fear and pessimism
Pulled under the knife
I could never be
Beautiful and made for all to see
Is it a calling card to not like who you are?
Is it a passing phase to always hide away?

I spun up a dedicated server for my wife and I to start a playthrough of Enshrouded again. I hadn't touched that game since very early access so imagine my shock when it loaded my first character... male with a big beard.

That last 6 months of egg living, y'all. lmfao.

Anyway, such a fun game! They seem to have tweaked a lot of the jank out since I last played and good lord did it eat my hours yesterday.

Sunday big nap hours.

Picture of an old gray cat named Mika curled up into a ball in on a pillow in the corner of a dusty rose couch.Picture of an orange patch tabby curled up in a white plush bed in front of the furnace vent.

I’m signing out for awhile.
I’m just so fucking done.
So. Fucking. Done.
And forced to try and hold my shit together for another 4 hours.

Fuck.

The urge to sign out of everything, chuck it in the trash and disappear into the north woods round about Grand Marais.

I should buy ice skates.

For the rink, you ask?

No, for my alleyway and street in front of my house.

Holy fuck.

I want to become a plastic surgeon and open a place that only does breast work. I’d call it Build a Boob Workshop.

I think I take back what I said about Walz bowing out of the race because my god did he pop off at his press conference.

This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames
Of my friends' bodies
When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear
It's gonna look like mud
But I will help you swim, I will help you swim
I'm gonna help you swim
This is for the snakes and the people they bite
For the friends I've made, for the sleepless nights
For the warning signs I've completely ignored
There's an amount to take, reasons to take more
It's no big surprise you turned out this way
When they close their eyes and prayed you would
change
And they cut your hair, and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way!"

Schiit Fulla died. (DAC)
Computer black screened.
Couldn't get onboard audio to register in Windows.
Installed shit ass realtek software.
Finally working.
WDM shits the bed and blacks my monitors.

I really love my hair and it would be a shame to start pulling it out but jesus fucking christ I can't catch a break.

Haven’t enjoyed an animated movie that much since Spiderverse. Plus that music? Yeah. No. I’m going to be thinking about this one for awhile.

Next step is a rebase of bazzite with the AMD driver and then I’ll see how much I can move over to a Linux distribution.

Hopefully I have a better time with AMD than NVidia.

New GPU observations:

The 9070xt runs so much cooler than my old 3080 FTW3. I am aware that MH Wilds is a CPU bound game for me, but it's still barely breaking 50C for GPU temp and that's so wild to me. 3080, in most games, would run about 79C with aggressive fan curves.

@68000 went with a Sapphire Pulse 9070xt.

Wanted to make sure we did a little future proofing since who knows what’s on the other side of the price hikes and bubble.

Our PCs are nvidia free and it feels fantastic.
Going to hold on to our 3080s until around the time school gets out then sell them for maximum profit.
