Ugh. I spent three hours trying to get my network put back together after my pihole stopped downloading blocklist updates, and I still can't rebuild the docker container on that machine because it isn't using the right DNS server for some reason.
Bleh. I feel weird using 8.8.8.8.

Man, I feel super defeated. I feel like I've hit a wall I can't break through. It's like I'm never going to get more than 9 reps at 165.
I never expected to be this emotionally invested in hoisting things against the pull of gravity.

I've thought of an amazing story arc for a third System Shock game, but I have no studio to give it to. I am sadness.

Winter is my favorite time of year, which is why it's so unfair that it's also the season where I'm most likely to slip into depression.

After seeing that Microsoft is going to add more agentic features to Windows, I have yet another reason to feel that my decision to bite the bullet and go full Linux was the right one.

I'm playing through Diablo III again, and man, it gets a lot of shit that it doesn't deserve. It's a banger. I know it was a load of hot garbage at launch, but so was No Man's Sky, and everybody agrees that it's top tier now (which it is).
DIABLO III IS AWESOME, AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING IT ISN'T

Not going up in weight on anything is intensely demoralizing. It feels like I've hit a wall or something.

I can't countenance the existence of someone who thinks Planescape: Torment is a bad game. That kind of person needs to be fired out of a cannon into a low orbit so children can try to hit them with bottle rockets.

Is it already time to dethaw Geoff Keighley and let him drool smugly? It seems like it comes around faster every time.

I really want to go back to using forums like I used to (especially Doomworld and the Bay12 forums), but interacting with them on mobile is basically impossible. I wish there was an app.

All I did was switch to dumbbell rows and go from 500 to 520 on legs, but I want to DIE.

I tried Bazzite for a bit, but the immutability made some things more complicated. I tried CachyOS and discovered that Arch users are complete maniacs. I don't mind being boring and just running Kubuntu.

Okay, I think I'm about ready to stop dual-booting and just run Linux on my main desktop. Now all I have to do is get my saved games moved over.

Dark Souls is the greatest piece of art humanity will ever create.
Chris Barnes has still got it.
I actually think that music, and perhaps society in general, has moved beyond the need for big honking, stanky riffs.

It's really fucking weird when people follow me just to advertise their project. Like, I have almost no followers, and I'll go out of my way NOT to mention you when you do that.

I went to a routine doctor's appointment last week, and they weighed me as per usual. I came in at 301. I was 285 when I started working out in March.
