Instead of keeping my account cancelled and punishing myself, I swapped to the PC game pass version instead. Paying less than I was for the same features I was using lol. (I haven't used my Xbox as a console in YEARS)

You: They did the math.

Me: ᵀʰᵉʸ ᵈⁱᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒⁿˢᵗᵉʳ ᵐᵃᵗʰ

You: What was that?

Me: Nothing.

Me three hours later in a whisper: ᴵᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵃ ᵍʳᵃᵛᵉʸᵃʳᵈ ᵍʳᵃᵖʰ

@puzzmo.com is running a mini crossword series that teaches you tricks to interpret clues and I love it. Brooke is doing such a great job building on each lesson and honestly, it's both fascinating and kinda making me want to learn how to build(?) crosswords myself.

At some point apps are going to stop asking "How do you like the app?" Cause I'm just going to keep answering honestly. XD

Screenshot of a Verizon Questionnaire about how happy I am with the app. Under comments, I put "Nothing against the app, I just don't like using it because I only use it to pay my bill and it hurts every time. But you asked and I'm going to answer honestly."

Speaking of Rune, dumbest math joke I've heard recently:

Did you know numbers get larger as they get louder?

Cause 5 = 5, but 5! = 25.

So I walked around the building checking other doors I had access to Friday and do not anymore. Deleted it all and just mentioned my badge access is gone.

Also important to know: our badge system was replaced Friday by Parent Company™, so not a huge shock it's broken.

This is like the worst example possible, but I found out my badge doesn't work for anything other than the main doors today. Let my manager know and almost wrote out this whole paragraph on how I kept hearing a door trigger, so I went to go look at it and noticed I couldn't get in.

Pshaw, maybe back in the 1900s, it's so weird nowadays I don't think people are going to even notice anymore.

Habits I feel like I need to break: explaining my thought process, especially when it comes to things that have actual logic behind the process.

Sure, often times how I jump from A to C doesn't make a whole lot of sense but who cares, I got there my way xD

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one.

I have had Sabrina Carpenter stuck in my head the last few days.

Look, I know why TEARS is stuck in there (Thanks TikTok trend), but also "When Did You Get Hot?"

Still taking suggestions for games if y'all have any. Feeling phas, probably Minecraft bingo even though I haven't bingo'd in forever... Clover Pit is really holding my attention as well lol

So, my birthday is on the 10th and I took it off. Planning on streaming a bit during the day: anything y'all would be amused seeing?

I'm thinking phas cause it's amusing to be spooky, but always enjoy gaming with people, so if anyone's feeling games let me know :3c

I feel like on paper, I'm subscription services ideal client: I let it go even if I'm not actively using it just because I like the simplicity when I decide to go back.

But cancelled my Game Pass today after the 10/mo increase....
P+ now that Star Trek is done for the year, feels weird lol

There is something immensely unsettling when your fingers are off a key on a keyboard and you end up typing niew kujw yjod.

The screens are replaceable and lenticular, so there’s subtle animation. The buttons have a rubber band behind them so they’re springy and the d pad floats on a rubber piece so it can move.

Seriously, LEGO does such neat things, I would buy more sets but I don’t have the space xD
