I'm finally deep into and enjoying Cyberpunk 2077, but goddamn is it still shockingly buggy. Not in a game breaking way like in the early days, but still to an embarrassing degree for a studio like CD Projekt Red.
I've seen multiple people compare Zeztz's Catastrom/Orderm transformation to Kabuto's 'cast-off' sequence, and they right.
Ugh; today was not among my best. Got into a fender bender with a FedEx truck during an excursion to drop stuff off at the office. Not my fault, but still a headache I'd rather not deal with. Still need to take my car somewhere for assessment/repair once insurance gets back to me.
Okay; Zeztz's Orderm form is sick as hell and might be my favorite of the series so far. Really curious to see where they go from here, form-wise.
Had my first instance of someone asking me about the pain level of piercings I have that they want but don't have yet. Did not sugarcoat the rook; that motherfucker hurt the most of anything I have, but I still consider it worth it given how cool it looks.
Ugh; fucking EPA. A database I regularly have to deal with is getting an overhaul, and after months of promises we wouldn't need to create an account for read-only access to the kind of data we use, sure enough I got to spend today jumping through hoops to create an account.
I want to work out so badly, but I'm also still slightly sick with some minor con crud from Anime Boston. I sadly have a well-documented history of misjudging when to return to normal activity and making a minor illness into something much worse.
Happy anniversary to us! 💍
It took almost an hour to kick in, but I just clocked that the twitchiness of my leg/foot drastically decreased over about a 10-minute period. And don't know that we'll have a ton of time to explore beyond the convention site, but we at least plan to pop over and do a day in Salem.
Psychiatrist gave me a 2-week trial of extended release ADHD meds; good time to try it while I have a decent buffer supply of my instant release med. Figure traveling/Anime Boston will be a good stress test. Especially if airport security is still as rough as it was for the Spring Break crowd.
I feel like managing an S-rank Haru is basically winning Uma Musume. Only my third S-rank at a time where me even managing to hit S-rank is still pretty rare.
Chuck Norris is dead. He was really shitty but Conan playing this clip from Walker Texas Ranger lives rent free in my head forever tbh so there's that.
Leaning scythe mode (I like purple and most of my tattoos so far have at least a splash of it), but I feel like the axe mode has interesting potential. Regardless, I know exactly which artist at the shop I've been frequenting I would want to set loose on it once I refill the 'new tattoo' fund.
I have at least a general concept for my next (non-flash sale) tattoo: I want to magical girl-ify a Kamen Rider Weapon (palette shift, some ribbons or vines winding around it, etc.). Leaning Zeztz's primary weapon, but then I would have to choose a specific one of its four modes.
I forgot how boring I find Kimblee as a villain in FMA: Brotherhood. The alchemist equivalent of a meathead who basically just does one trick really well and doesn't seem good at running a command/search. He's one of the few characters where the 2003 anime version felt more engaging to me.
I love that not only did they bring back the actor for Tachibana/Kamen Rider Garren (from Blade) to be the newly revealed rider in Zeztz, they gave his new rider form a silhouette similar to Garren's.
Got a bridge piercing at lunch today. Figured it was better than struggling to focus on work and being sad the entire day (anniversary of Dad's death). I am pleased with the result, but definitely the spiciest of my non-cartilage piercings. Plus it gave me a headache (research says that's common).
A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.
This is such a mood. I couldn't put a name to it for most of my life, but my RSD is actually really intense and has probably damaged more than a few friendships in the past because of how my brain processes neutral reactions.
Every time Wind Waker slander happens, it always throws me, because Wind Waker remains, to this day, the only 3D Zelda I love. Like, I've appreciated elements of what others have tried to do, but Wind Waker is the only 3D Zelda I fully enjoy start to finish.
Still no word from the tattoo shop on whether they'll do another Friday the 13th deal this Friday. I'll check individual artists for personal deals, but unlikely to get anything anyway. I do have jewelry waiting for pickup with the piercer, plus might get a new hole or two, anatomy permitting.
In other tokusatsu news, I am so fucking invested after that mid-series reveal in Kamen Rider Zeztz. Really curious to see where the show goes from here.
Also, I live for the way they're really leaning into the multiversal element this episode (main Gavan is visiting a world where insects are sentient and live/work alongside humans).
I'm so mad at myself. It took me until the fourth episode to realize the ship in Gavan Infinity is a scaled up version of the main character's gun/transformation device.
I'm in for a very good/bad time tonight; picked up Thai for a late lunch, and clearly got the cook that doesn't fuck around when I order 'Extra Thai Hot'. The color/smell of of the peppers they use smacked me in the face when I opened the container. Let's fucking go!
Single-panel comic about daily exhaustion. Text at the top reads: “Every day after work I just crash and get really exhausted.” The ADHD Alien character sits slumped on a couch under a green blanket, looking drained and unfocused while holding a pink phone. Her expression shows fatigue and frustration. A small table beside her holds an empty bowl, spoon, and a yellow drink bottle. A TV remote lies nearby, and laundry is draped over the couch, suggesting low energy and an unfinished day. Text near her reads: “I don’t even have the energy to watch or play anything.” Another line adds: “…or clean.” At the bottom: “…is that normal?”
How am I supposed to rest when I'm too tired to rest????
On the one hand, I'm excited for Danhausen to get a WWE paycheck for a while, but I just don't see his character doing well in WWE. The big build to a PPV reveal also seems like maybe not the way to handle his first appearance.
This will seem meaningless to most people that see it, but I am getting sick of explaining the difference between the different forms of particulate matter and the differing test methodologies for those forms to people that have been in environmental longer than me and should absolutely know better.
Apparently I got referred to as 'Mr. Kirby' in social calendar planning regarding an upcoming convention, and a part of my brain has decided 'Mr. Kirbygal' is scratching an itch in a very pleasing way (gotta put respect on @kirbygal.bsky.social's full moniker).
