Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game because I just robbed two trains and took hundreds of dollars of cash and valuables, and the game still considers me a decently honorable guy, but my friend killed a domesticated duck for its pelt and he is literally Satan.

@zeldatra In Yakuza the protagonist is accused of murder but didn't do it. On the other hand in the actual game he breaks spines left and right, shoots people, jams a broken bottle into the abdomen, piledrive a person head first into the concrete floor. It's ok because after the fight they are shown to be alive but bruised.

@adiwan I’ve been playing through Yakuza Kiwami, haha. It’s my other favorite game right now.

Some lore about Kat’s father, the late Peter Matthew Reynolds:
He grew up poor in Denver, Colorado in the 80s and 90s. His father was an Irish immigrant who ran a pub downtown, and his mother left the family when he was young. Kat has never met her grandparents, and for good reason: Peter’s father was an abusive alcoholic who kicked him out when he was 16, after he impregnated the local media heiress, Katrina Analisse, Kat’s mother.
Peter’s childhood best friend was Clarence, the Twin Souls preacher. When Peter and his new family eventually moved to Virginia, Clarence visited often, and in the late 2000s, the two of them along with Mo formed a trio of inseparable friends.Friday, 27-Jan-23 06:57:00 UTC from web-
At home, though, things were not great. Though he tried his best to provide for his new family after Kat’s birth in the late 90s, Peter was mentally ill, and his condition was exasperated by post-traumatic stress, developed as a result of his time in the military in the early 2000s during the US-led War in Turaqistan. After he was discharged for disobeying a direct order - he was ultimately unable to kill a disarmed insurgent who surrendered during a skirmish - he returned home a broken man, and often lashed out physically at his wife. They divorced when Kat was 12, and he passed away when she was 14. He’s buried in the Nova County Cemetery on the outskirts of town. Kat hasn’t been to see him since he died.
-
Having died young, Peter left behind a cast of characters who are approaching middle age that Kat has to interact with increasingly frequently starting in her mid twenties, when suddenly a bunch of sitcom plots start happening to her for seemingly no reason except that we’re watching now.

The house will require a lot of work, like new electric wiring, new windows, and a new heating system as it is required here to replace a gas heater every 30 years and it is a few years until retirement. I'll replace it with something 100% electric and a heat pump and install solar panels on the roof.

@scribus Don't worry about that. Any ghost that decides to stay will get permanent spiritual damage by my presence alone. My awkward nerdyness and pony merch will ward them off.

I'm gonna be a home owner soon. Crippling debt yeah!
Thursday, 19-Jan-23 17:40:07 UTC from web-
@scribus About half my income will be just for repaying the debt and the rest is for getting it to a proper shape and comics. I guess I'll starve.
It's not that bad but the next few years will be rough for sure. At least I will be able to sleep and have my peace and quiet.

Got my tires yesterday and put them on my bike today. As it turns out, and as obvious it is in hindsight, the culprit for the puncture was a tiny rock. A rock as pointy as a needle and as black as the tire. I could only find it by guesstimating the location by the puncture location on the hose and then pushing really hard into the spot on the tire. The rock has dug into the rubber and I couldn't see it on my first inspection.

@scribus In a way I was very lucky that the little piece of Potato Knishes was found in the first place and it didn't got me stranded far away from home. I was lucky that it happened close to home. I have a small set of stairs a few meters in front of my cellar. There I pull my bicycle down so it bounces on the edge of the steps. Just as I opened my cellar door my bike fell on its own (it was on its kickstand) and there I found the flat. Moments before I could cycle and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, i.e. I had full pressure in the hose (between 4 and 5 bar).

Barely a day has passed and I got a flat on the same tire.

My 15 year old monitor died yesterday. It "displays" something. Backlight works but the fault is somewhere on the mainboard between the actual screen and the end of image processing. The display cannot even show the OSD properly. As it appears it will be covered by black lines and then it turns into a bright pillar from top to bottom (where the text would be). I just won an auction on ebay for a cheap replacement monitor of the same model. Why? It's 16:10 IPS, has tons of inputs, and it was cheap. 45€ with shipping. Also I cannot afford a brand-spanking-new one.

Why did I think it was a good idea to try explaining magnets to a crackhead customer at work?

@scribus love crackheads, I’m so glad that now that the metro stop in my hometown is open the crackheads who I banned from my old store in DC are coming over to my new store in the suburbs so that I can explain to them all over again that no, you cannot trade a gallon of canola oil for a carton of cigarettes like this is some kind of bartering station in Roman Greece

@scribus it’s not, but it’s probably fairer in the south than it is in California, a pack of Marlboros is still under $10 here (currently $8.32 after tax)

I'm doing an anti-"No Shave November". Usually I shave myself every two weeks but this month I try to shave daily or every other day. My verdict so far: Daily shaving is not worth it as my beard grows so fast that I can feel the stubbles after an hour after the shave. Waxing my face is not an option.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 08:45:40 UTC from web-
@scribus Yeah. Even with an electric razor it's not very feasible to shave every day because of skin irritation. Honestly I rather prefer not to have a beard at all and would want a permanent hair follicle removal but the risk of scarring my skin on the face is too high.

Was thinking about who I could get to voice Jesus in Swole Foods and realized I don’t have one (1) Jewish friend. These are the drawbacks to not being based in New York or Los Angeles like everyone else in my field.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 06:58:13 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Jesus was a roman-era Hebrew, so he's pretty distanced from modern day Jews. He's also only half Hebrew since only his mother's lineage can be traced, so arguably you could cast anyone eurasian for the role and not be too far off mark.
-
@nerthos I’m not genuinely that invested in an accurate casting, I’m voicing a south Asian guy which I obviously am not, I just briefly thought it’d be funny to make my imaginary Jewish friend do it

"Those lazy, lazy leaves"! I was taking the scenic route from shopping through the park and there I slid in a corner and fell. I lost all tyre grip because a brown and slimy moist pile of leaves in the curve acted like it's the best replacement for grease in that moment. Luckily there was not much damage. My pants got dirty, a scratch on my knee, and the side of my pedal was heavily scratched.

Made myself a mudflap for my bicycle. I could buy one but all the ones for purchase are way too small for what I think I need. Mine reaches further down and is wider in the hopes it will catch more dirt and preventing all that dirt flinging on my shoes and pants.
Monday, 31-Oct-22 15:25:27 UTC from web-
@adiwan I used some leftover PVC tarp, 3d printed a small decorative clamping piece that clamps the tarp flap to the mud guard, a M3 screw, two washers, a M3 locknut. I found some mud flaps similar in size online but mine was basically 1€ in costs, including the misprints.

@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.

@zeldatra Good gun, a bit expensive for carry if you don't use it often though. I'm a beretta 9mm guy, always found them nice, they were the standard cop gun here for decades.
-
@nerthos I don’t actually carry one, I was being a bit tongue in cheek when I said I needed one for defense, I learned how to use one and it’s what I use when I go to the range but the main reason I did it was for a private security job that would’ve provided one for me. Didn’t end up applying for the job though so it’s just one of those things I know how to do now with no real practical applications for the moment.
