I think what I miss is the ritual inconvenience of 90's/00's tech.
Cassettes, disks, and tapes, stored on shelves.
Having to go somewhere to find an old movie, watching new movies at cinemas and waiting 6-12 months for their VHS/DVD release.

I'm trying to put into words the euphoric feeling I have, when I get a like or positive comment on a selfie.

Sometimes I do scrub up rather nicely. A little older, a little wiser, and a little less merciful.

Today, is my Level Up Day.
I am now at Level 41, and since I've actually spent the last year going to the gym, losing weight, lifting weights, doing cardio, etc, I'm actually going to put 2 points into strength this year for a +1.

You shouldn't make decisions nor declarations on the internet after 9pm.
At that point, just sleep on it and see how you feel in the morning.

As the UK faces one of the nastiest flu seasons ever, and the fact that ya know, COVID is still a fucking thing, maybe practice some common courtesy and sense, and wear your fucking facemask if you're feeling under the weather.
Or if you're surrounded by others who might be ill too.

I would like you to read for a moment, and while maybe fictional and exaggerated, it is true and accurate.
I want to share with you my visceral disgust at LLM's and AI models, and how they are jammed into everything.
I fucking hate AI.

Good morning.
Yesterday my players defeated a brush of Twink-blights, faced down some evil cultists, committed another war crime, and I got to hit one of them with sad backstory mystery!
One player is also planning an NPC's mortal ending for their own benefit.
I love D&D.

Will return to it later after the WD40 has done its job.

Oil acquired.
Is it the best? Probably not. Is it the worst? I don't fucking know. I'm not some Oil-Sommelier.
"Mhmm, yes, an overwhelming bouquet of dead dinosaur, and hints of military industrial complex and capitalistic exploitation. Very good."

Good news! Replacement frame cover fits on GG just fine.
Bad news! I might be wrong but I think I need to completely replace the oil. Levels were nil!
Did I really ride 50 miles with no oil? Fuck!

Didn't get the librarian job, again.
My rule of thumb is that if after two separate applications to the same company for same/similar jobs get turned down, I'll just cross that company off the list for the next few years.

Ok, so this is kinda embarrasing. When I got back yesterday, I realised that a small side cover was missing from the Marauder.
Only, I cannot for the life of me remember if it was never there to start with, or it fell off at some point on my ride.
My short term memory can be an utter bitch.

Now that I have a motorbike, I'm falling down the rabbit hole of finding parts.
Really wishing there were 3D models available so I can print my own fairing molds.

I FUCKING DID IT!
Bought the damn thing and rode it all the way home.
Fucking freezing weather, no wonder bikers hate winter, and today was sunny and dry no less. Just fucking cold.
But goddamn am I riding a high right now.
Parked up, and this week I'll do some QoL improvements.

Vroom?
Could it be?
Might it be?
Am I finally getting my hyperfixated heart's desire today?
Check back in four hours, after I've either woefully returned home by train, or crashed my ass somewhere on the A12.
