Oh man... Amazon's Like A Dragon Series... I have some stern words to say... I cannot express how much disappointment I feel about this piece of crap. I can get behind some story changes but the pile of crap that was excremented. Harsh words but the whole inter-personal dynamics are changed. If it wasn't based on anything it might have been fine to a degree. The worst offender is that Yumi lives at the end, that she isn't the mother of Haruka, the Millenium Tower doesn't explode, Kiryu has beef with Kazama, Date-San is even more pointless, aaaaaaaaa... I could scream if it wasn't pointless.

Got candy. Only a pair of children got some. Once a huge group was ringing the bell but as soon as I was at the door they were gone a few doors further. The children have no patience.

On my work I listened to way too many Japanese people playing Final Fantasy music on electric organs on Youtube. Somehow I like the synthesized sound of music instruments. It gets me back to the old Soundblaster, AdLib, Roland MT-32 sound card days.

The animated Super Mario Bros movie from Illumination is borderline awful. It'd be tons better if those stupid needle drops weren't there.

Gathering plans for my next D&D adventure and my stupid brain came up with that: introducing a magic mace that emits a forceful gale on a strike and calling it "Mace Windu".

Since ever Rockstar has fumbled really hard with their launcher for GTA5 on release I won't ever buy a new Rockstar game.

I own Red Dead Revolver for over 12 years and still haven't beaten anything beyond the first few levels.

I'm very conflicted with the live-action Like A Dragon series. They have changed a lot. A LOT. I'm OK with a good chunk of the changes as they weren't that good in the game but there are several that make me question things. I have to process the first three episodes for a bit to make an opinion.

Tomorrow is the day of the live-action Like A Dragon series. Definitely gonna see it with subtitles and original Japanese audio track.

Over night one of my 3D printers had no filament anymore during the print job and it resulted in a massive solid blob in the cold section of the hotend. PETG was cooked for hours such that was harder to reheat and liquify because it has degraded that much and because the heat couldn't reach that well in my cleaning attempts. I had to pull out the drill out of my tool box and remove it that way. Luckily nothing was damaged that way.

OMG. The iPhone's (iPhone 13) FaceId crap is getting on my nerves. I HAVE to use it for 2-factor authentication for work and it is not as reliable and convenient as on my old work iPhone (iPhone8) with the fingerprint scanner. Before I could just put the phone on the desk and hit the fingerprint scanner. NOW I have to prop it up so the front camera can see my face. Despite having turned off the awareness option I still have to look somewhere near the phone to have my face recognized.

What happened? It's already Wednesday? Where did the time go? Where is my free time? Where is the time I wanted to spend on my hobbies?

Refactoring code. The constant pain and work for something that works but it could be organized and look neater.

I'm artificially pollinating my Jalapeño plants that are standing in my living-room. They blossom like crazy. I'm using a q-tip to transfer the pollen from one flower to the stem of another.

Thick thigh problems. I went on a walk for around 2.5km and the skin got rubbed so much that the upper skin layers were gone such that it almost created a bleeding wound. I just used a hydrocolloid wound patch for the first time. Hopefully it'll get better fast.

Even though I don't drink any alcohol I feel like I'm having a big hangover after yesterday's company party which I only attended because I'm mostly working at home and felt some social pressure to show my face once in a while.

adiwan

On the other hand my Jalapeño plants that I have put into the house are somewhat thriving. A plant has even developed a flower and start to ripen the peppers red.

adiwan

Only 3 tomato plants left that aren't fully rotten yet. The more sheltered ones look better but I'm pretty sure they'll all die in the next week or two.

adiwan

Sometimes I hate my job. The more responsibility I have the more I have to *TALK*. I **HATE** that. I just want to sit at my desk and program until it's done without being bothered. The more I'm disturbed the less I get done.

I'm not very proficient in soldering with a soldering iron but one thing I can say is that the solder I bought is kinda garbage. It works but it is a pain to use because the wire is way too thin. Hopefully the roll I just ordered is better. My main problem is that I had to push so much length to get to a sufficient mass on the solder point.
