Ghost Square was essentially a Haunted House style hotel.

Imagine the Saints' Wake version of Haukke Manor, but as a permanent feature that functioned as an actual inn.

Definitely an interesting sounding concept. It could make for a nice attraction for the Gold Saucer, also I wouldn't say no if more things functioned as an inn, so I can adjust glamours and everything else.

Ferrari, every time.

just needed to vent.

Had to use a VPN for the first time so I could download a number of files without getting in trouble with my ISP. The things being downloaded? Old, obscure games that are no longer in circulation on the digital/physical markets. They REALLY don't like you downloading that many times.

Following Formula 1? I don't, not closely anymore, but I heard they botched up their cars and made Leclerc lose out.

Rearranging my Gundams. Behold, a display of an array of Astrays!

Gundam SEED Astray 26+ episode anime series when Bandai!?

Or at least go back and finish translating the manga. It got cut off way back when the first big burst of Gundam popularity in the US died off.

Apparently it's stupid hot where one of my discord friend lives just a few states over from me.

just the classic throwing away a 1-2 into a 4-6 when you have the fastest car but don't know how tyres work.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Digimon Survive. If you like a Visual Novel mixed in with a TRPG and like the Digimon setting. I wish I would have pushed it a little bit more than I did in my circle of friends but after the disaster that was New Gundam Breakers, I'm hesitant to push anything that I haven't personally played.


But more importantly

I keep hearing about Stray but I'm not sure if my computer meets the hardware requirements. I have no cat.

I. Declare. Bankruptcy!

(I wish)

Don't really know why, but I have taken up exercising a much more considerable amount during the day. Adding more and more with each passing day.

Was headed into town today to pick up my year subscription of contacts. Thinking nothing of the wet road, I was relaxed just below the speed limit. Came around a downhill curve, and lo and behold some genius was idling either waiting for a turn or stopped for whatever reason.

I hit the brakes, and wouldn'tcha know it the wheels locked up and the car hydroplaned into the oncoming lane, because I turned the wheel to try an avoid rear ending them. Whereupon I collided with an SUV and totaled my 21 year old Camry.

Nobody was hurt, but now I gotta worry about a lawsuit, and if USAA is gonna cover all of the damages. It looked like relatively new Toyota Highlander. Driver was a teenage girl. She was OK, but definitely shook up. Airbags didn't deploy in either car.

Cops and an ambulance arrived on scene pretty quick, since it was in the city limits. They wrote me a traffic ticket for, "Traveling too fast for conditions." But then in the citation they labeled the conditions as, "Road - Dry. Skies - Clear." It rained all morning though, so it was a wet road. The skies were also completely overcast with grey storm clouds. I'll wind up still paying it, I'm sure. The girl's family showed up, and they hopped into the ambulance and left. I don't think she really needed it, though, but who knows. Maybe I'll be taken to court for giving her a neck injury.

You can also knock things over and get your head stuck in paper bags.

Oh damn, that's great. I really need to buy stray.
Playing the "f you, f you and f you in particular" game with things on shelves and tables sounds nice. Maybe I'll understand the appeal of it and be more understanding when my cats do it. Again.

Oof glad to hear you aren't injured. Good luck with everything!

Thanks Rannie. It feels really surreal. I've never been in a two car accident, so I'm kinda having a hard time fully accepting that my car is gone and I have to get a new one. That I also have to keep calling my insurance agency, the towing lot, and might go to court if I can't cover all the damages.

It can be a pain. My dad knows he ended up rear ending a car and caused a chain reaction for a total of four cars. His car was totaled (2019 Kia Optima only had it for a week) and was screwed over to having to pay the rest of the car off when the insurance couldn't cover all of it. (Unfortunately the brakes gave out on his car and he couldn't even counter it because no one would take the case cause he was uninjured). He got sued but the insurance company took care of it. They will if you can't get a lawyer if you're sued hopefully. I'm with Geico and always have to carry the full insurance due to always having a brand new car (after my mom passed in 2018 i put him on my insurance soo yeah). I'll definitely keep my fingers cross for you and you still take it easy. =)

Sorry to read this. If you haven't already, I'd suggest getting a dashcam and using it. It's meant for situations like this, and what's shown can actually be trusted.

Got my Midgardsormr alt to Ishgard at last, only eleven levels higher than I should be. Time to go unlock dark knight.

It might be me but has anyone else noticed that mainstream media has started going hard for NFTs and the Metaverse? I had to tell my 70 year old mother about NFTs today. I was more than a little bit scared how it almost got her hook, line, and sinker.

NFTs and Metaverse are money, and mainstream media exists to generate money first and foremost.

So... no killing little critters just because they're there? Wow, what a letdown. Unless people just avoid talking about that cause it's not endearing?

That's the media for ya. If certain interests want the public to like or hate something they just rev up that mass of media! I guess NTFs are going to stay for a while. Personally, I enjoy our dystopian present. It's funny, lol.

Probably a good idea, honestly. I'll look into them.

I love Crystal DC. Decided to do roulettes on an alt character and pvp is just not popping. During a tome event of all times.

They are useful not only for yourself, but can also be in helping others if you choose to do so. :)

Complete waste of time. Random chance if you get a team that can actually win or not... usually it's a loss. A horrible one at that. Due to it being large scale, it doesn't really matter how good your personal performance is. Really, it's just plain awful, and I don't know why anyone would willingly want to put themselves through it if they aren't at least doing their daily. Even trying to go for the achievement reward is questionable, in my opinion.

That's understandable. It is really messy and I wish it were better organized. I do enjoy it though, it's just really unfortunate that most people don't know what they're doing, despite the fact that they can change into any class they want at the start and that pvp combos are insanely simple now. Probably the most painful losses are the ones when my team starts getting excited at the start as they have multiple nodes free to themselves, not realizing the other two teams are building up their BHs off each other.

Because they are spamming CC to get the series ranks done for all the rewards...or they're playing as BLU spamming AV to get those quick moogle tomes.

Urgh. Had a root canal today, but I can't use ibuprofen because I'm on a blood thinner. Novocaine's starting to wear off, maybe I'll at least stop drooling so much soon.

Drove 6+ hours before spending the night at a hotel room. Going up north to visit family, and it's a 2 day trip because family is with me. If I was alone, I'd still be driving about now. I don't like sleep in hotels.

A few weekends back I bought some Cookie Dough ice cream for our movie night, scooped out a couple of bowls, and it was nothing but vanilla ice cream. :( The disappointment was strong as cookie dough had been sounding good all week, but alas, wasn't meant to be.

The next day I decided to chop up the container thinking maybe, just maybe, the chunks sank to the bottom or something. NOPE! There wasn't a single pieces of cookie dough to be found, although I did find 3 pieces of chocolate.

The abomination in question:

I did actually end up contacting Dreyer's and just got a couple of coupons in the mail today. \o/ Not sure if I want to tempt fate again with the cookie dough, but it's so good. ><

Even that one cat paw at the corner of the pic has vibes of disappointment.
