They decided to patch the beta after all so I'm downloading the game again.

I guess Mitch was wrong For reference

Maybe they can get MS to hook them back up with Shadowrun. My dream is a Shadowrun game by Obs but that's never going to happen so gimme more Shadowrun Returns goodness.

They made 3 or 4 tiny incisions along her abdomen. This is how I pictured it

Been a rough few days but things are getting better. Surgery was a success and the patient lived, 2 for 2.

My retirement plan is the same as most people I know, die before retirement age. Local politics but we have a 3 way race for mayor. That sucks for me because now I actually have to look into the candidates instead of doing what I normally do and just vote the opposite of a super conservative neighbor. This neighbor once told me they knew the election was stolen because they've never seen anyone in a Biden hat. Wasn't the first time I'd heard that, just didn't expect it in real life. City actually has a ton of info available this year and I didn't have to do much digging.

Health issues on the homefront, wife has to get her gallbladder removed tomorrow morning. Not really that crazy except that yesterday, when we got the news, was my late mom's birthday. She died of pancreatic cancer 6 months after first being misdiagnosed with gallbladder issues. Not the same at all but because of the day that's where my mind was at. It was a something

Yeah, one of the first things I did was grab a mod for that in JA3

This plus Has certain folks in my family circles hitting the conspiracy sauce hard.

I never said that there's no issues with immigration, I specifically pointed out what you wrote about it now affecting liberals which is patently false and has been making the rounds on conservative sites. There are 4 southern border states and only one is red ...and one is the communist hellscape of California.

I see this repeated a lot, especially on the right but it's a flawed premise. There are liberal border states and liberal cities in red states. I'm from a liberal border area.. and immigrants in NY being the breaking point is laughable. There are real issues with immigration and border policy but these things are gross oversimplifications and outright lies.

We had leftover pork tacos for lunch and leftover lamb for dinner.

pretend he's saying LC instead of Lisa.. and ignore the sister part. Happy birthday!

I'm making lamb loin chops on the grill and some couscous on the stove. My wife is making some kind of salad.

I'm still hoping for a Fallout 2 remake/remaster whatever. I'm playing LOTRO because they just released a new class, the Mariner. Since I hadn't played since before they introduced River Hobbits I went with a River Hobbit Mariner named Burwell and did my best to make him look like Chesty Puller. I played through the River Hobbit intro then immediately quit to make a High Elf version instead and am still playing through the unreasonably long and unskippable HElf intro.

Went to Costco and picked up 3 bottles of Lagavulin. I got one of each year; 8, 11, and 16. Suddenly remembering when I was in Jamaica and randomly met an older Scottish gentleman who was also on an island hopping campaign and we joined forces and cleaned out the resort bar.

I've never seen it just the Best of the Worst episode that featured it. That growl still haunts my nightmares.

Rawrr rawrr rawrr

I made steaks as well. Paired it with honey glazed parsnips because my wife loves parsnips and crispy garlic baby bok choy because I like garlic and King Soopers (Kroger) had a sale on bok choy.

Nope but I have Hill on my fantasy team so I was very happy. Fantasy football is my only football exposure these days.

Lillard to the Bucks wouldn't have made my wildest fantasy bingo list

Netflix and Disney are the ones up for cancellation next. Netflix has been especially disappointing for me lately, it's so hard to find things that interest me and they keep raising prices. I just canceled Paramount Plus and HBO so I'm left with Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and Disney. I get live TV with Hulu so it's probably the hardest one to drop.

I thought that with the strikes I would be able to catch up on my backlog and also probably check out some stuff on my maybe list but that hasn't happened at all. I found that I'd rather watch a re-run or nothing at all over something I was iffy about before. I also discovered that if I don't find something to watch in under 5 minutes I'm probably just going to turn off the TV and do something else. My wife likes having the TV on in the background but I do not, I either watch it with a purpose or want it off. I also canceled some of the streaming services that I don't use that often.

I don't know how to feel about an unpeated Islay though... hold me?

Started watching One Piece but wife was out after the first episode so I probably am too.
