They are also cutting programs that help people while ratcheting up the budget for ICE and the military. Lets cut medicaid, but at least we have the resources to deport people who overstay their visas. 🙄

This weekend I did an Olympic Tri. I did the same race 2 years ago and I was about 3 minutes faster, but I don't really know what that means. I'm consistent? I finished in 2 hours and 25 minutes. Anyways, the swim felt great, the ride was 4 loops and was a bit of work, and the run was hard but I kept the pace I wanted. I ended up 6th in my age group and 28th overall (out of about 200 races). Now I'm back at work and the summer is over.

I've been playing Oblivion Remastered. I've never really pushed through the main story, so maybe I'll do that. Or maybe I'll get distracted and just wander around until I lose interest. The possibilities are endless. Also my daughter very sweetly bought me $100 worth of Playstation gift cards for my birthday so I could buy GTA 6. She thought it was releasing this month. I was still excited and I preordered it. Now I just need to wait until November.

Summer is almost over. This month has been a lot of training. A couple weeks ago we went to Sacramento and previewed the course for the race. We swam about a mile of the Sacramento river and then did a 58 mile loop on the bike course. The swim was a blast, it was super fast with the current and only took 30 minutes. The river is kinda gross. I'm used to the ocean, so swimming in something that isn't salty is weird and it was pretty warm. There was a lot of logs and debris to avoid, but it might be cleaned up a bit at the actual race. The bike was super flat. I've never really ridden that flat of a course. I'm surrounded by hills where I live, so you are pretty much climbing every timer you ride. I'm feeling good about race day knowing that I should be able to fly on the bike. Strava says I've trained 40 hours this month. That seems reasonable. 12 weeks until raceday.

Definitely giving Darkman vibes:

I grabbed it and spent a day playing it. Interesting game and was super frustrating that I ended up a point off for the skill checks at the end. Suffering indeed.

I don't really understand the gaming industry, I guess. Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed were extremely good games. They told a good story, they were fun to play, and I finished them. Personally I don't want a bunch of games that overstay their welcome. I don't want every game to be a live service that expects you to play for years to come. I want a good 1-4 weeks of entertainment and then I want to move on with my life.

I showed that to my wife, who is a lifeguard and is terrified of Sharks.

Mafia - I'm playing the redone original. I finished it before the remake, and I remember enjoying it, but I really don't remember the story at all. It's well done though. The city feels alive and the story is solid. I bought the 3rd game with it as a pack (already owned 2) so I might play that next.

I enjoyed Starfield quite a bit before all of the dimensional traveler stuff. It really killed my interest in the game.

Happy father's day everyone. I took the family to Disneyland last week. It was expensive, but the crowds were light on 2 of the 3 days. The Star Wars area is amazing and I hung out there as much as possible. We hadn't been in a decade, so I am glad I got it in with them before they become full adults.

I played the free weekend recently. Or rather, I downloaded it and wandered around for an hour, and then deleted it. The game looks very detailed, but it didn't run great on my PC, which is pretty decent. I guess I need more RAM. It also seemed not fun. Like, you can do a lot of stuff, but it isn't really engaging gameplay wise. I don't know that flipping a bunch of switches in a ship is my idea of a fun space piloting game.
