I work on networking @ Xbox. I also tend to obsess over things like NATs, UPnP, and IPv6. Tries to be a Niceguy online. Posts are mine and mine alone.

Who loves Costco even more now? ✋🏾
They not only didn’t bend the knee when it comes to DEI, they’re taking Trump head-on.

@neonepiphany.com no whipped ube this time, but I’m very intrigued by the Black Forest. Also curious about the calamansi, misugaru, and milk tea. I’ve tried the everything bagel in the past. It’s good, but I’d stick to the sweet flavors.

Narrator: their curiosity got the best of them, as it was a rubbery-textured, overly-seasoned monstrosity that was quickly discarded so the focus could be shifted to the mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, and cranberry sauce.
This is our first Thanksgiving trying out an entree that is vegetarian (the last few holidays we’ve just focused on the side dishes and skipped the meat entree). Curious how this is going to be.

Finding that last item was a bit challenging, even with the in-game guide. But managed to knock out that last achievement to finish the expansion. I enjoyed revisiting the world and seeing some new areas and puzzles. But I missed the brilliance of the villain and the companions from the main game.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

This reminded me that I need to pick up my game save for Herdling. I've really enjoyed my time with the game so far.
🦬 Yes, you can pet the Calicorn! The beloved beast from the game Herdling is now available for preorder as a supremely fuzzy plush:

The amount of effort Republicans are spending to try to avoid feeding the hungry is astounding. The GOP does a lot of grandstanding saying that they’re Christians, but their actions are the exact opposite of what Jesus taught.

Boy, the weather wasn’t very cooperative for trick-or-treating Friday night. We only had three kids brave the downpour to come to our house. Really grateful that Ridwell will pick up leftover candy tomorrow to donate to local charities.

Just wrapped the Claws of Awaji DLC from AC Shadows the other day. Fantastic expansion. I'd probably rate it as the best DLC released for any game in the AC series.
