Just saw that Angelo Badalamenti died. I know he's best known for his scores with Lynch, but his work on City of Lost Children is my personal favorite. RIP.

Today's project was a messenger bag! Made with some hand me down fabric from my partner's mom. Almost finished, but it's getting late. Goodnight!

@HunterRose ah, good to know. I play the game but I don't follow everything that goes on lol.

Welp, it's new season time in . Jumping back in to clear the season pass, since I already paid for it lol. Prob take me about a week as usual. Hope whatever is going on with the companion app resolves soon. Picking up the daily bounties is a lot faster using the app. Taking my Titan in first aka my Green Knight. I usually roll purple gear on games that let you customize to that extent but iunno, she just felt right in green.

Finally finished (almost) all quests in the DF starting zone. One of my add-ons (Quest Completist?) shows me a quest but it's not available yet. Moved to the second zone. Met the centaurs I need to ingratiate myself with to progress the main campaign. Noticed the Khan is deaf, uses sign to communicate. Naturally can't do that graphically, she just gestures broadly, but they tell you in the quest text. Also saw a drakonid in a wheelchair. They really are trying to be inclusive.

Sorry it's been a while since my last update. Working retail during the holidays takes a lot out of people. Be kind when you shop this season.

I practiced some free-motion sewing today and made a sleeve for my sunglasses!

Well, bonus, absolute unit of shitlord owner of the trailer park is finally paying to get some work done on the place, crew here to fix busted concrete. Negatives: they ain't fixing shit at our spot other than the gutter out front, and we have to listen to jackhammers for days.

Last time I checked, I am getting close to 2 years of played time in WoW. As I sit here with a cat on my lap, playing PGA 2K23, it occurs to me I have to have at least 2 years game time with cats on my lap.

Another morning of raking up wet leaves during a break in the storms, this time with a shoulder brace. .. I think I didn't exacerbate the problems in that shoulder.. Problem with most support gear is it doesn't STOP me from doing things, lol. I recognize I'm not 20 any more, I do everything more methodically than I used to. I just don't know when to stop cause I have too high a tolerance for pain. I'm that guy people ask "hey you know you're bleeding, right?"
"huh? where?"

Huh, thunderstorm? Didn't see that in the forecast this morning.

Not too bad, dropped to 20fps stepping off the boat, but it's still a bit busy with players and I do have the settings pretty high for this literally decade old PC lol. It's not so bad things are stuttering.. Yet.


Well this is an excellent start. Logged in to one error (out of date handy notes legion treasures), the system settings are still on 7 and I'm still getting an avg 30fps standing in SW Harbor, looking back into the city. Jumps to 50fps when I turn around to face the sea. Next up is jumping on the boat and heading to the land of Dragons, see how this holds up.

Finally have some PC time all to myself today, so I'm going to attempt to play some . I'm guessing by now most people have gotten past the opening area so player density won't be a problem dragging my frames into the red...? Curious to see how Lutris/DXVK handle the new expansion. Last time I logged on I was averaging 30fps at 7 settings, with notable dips in crowded areas. Addons updating, and I'ma check if there's any new runners in Lutris before jumping in.

@NinaLove We haven't gotten enough rain for most of the last 20 years here on the West Coast, USA. At this point I cherish a good rainstorm.

Another rainy day. I like rain. I like being in rain. Worked out in it today. I have covers over the space the equipment is in, gotta protect that, but I like being out there doing stuff in the rain. Guess I'm not grown up enough to abstain from splashing in the puddles.

Having played 4 rounds of PGA Tour 2K23 (what, you don't play 4 round tournaments?), I can definitely state: this has that EA FIFA "changed the rosters and mildly tweaked things, NEW GAME!" feel. If you played the previous game, this isn't much different. Season pass junk, caddies (including females!) a third person in the "broadcast booth" (another female!), new music, some mild skill trees for your clubs are new. Core game the same, even the 2 guys broadcast audio lines lol.

@LnzyHou Yeah I def need to get some kinda back scratcher lol, my shoulders are both questionable these days
