The former Yiga guy in Zelda said that me wearing the Yiga outfit is a tasteless joke. That’s like if a former Nazi told me that wearing an SS uniform around him is a tasteless joke. It is, but you know what’s in even poorer taste? Being a Nazi.

I just took and passed a SafeMark food safety exam as part of promotion training because it was faster than taking the 8 hour online training course. Have now been made aware that passing the exam does not mark the 8 hour online training course as complete in the system, so now I’m studying for a test I won’t take because I already took it and passed.

A local elementary school recently paid someone who was very obviously a furry to draw their mascot and now a bunch of cars are driving around town with some guy’s fursona on their bumpers

The feud between Lauren Boebert and MTG inadvertently proves a certain stereotype about women and their ability to be nice to each other. They are literally the same woman in every way and they hate each other.

that’s a Swole Foods joke that I probably can’t actually use because the implication is one that would probably make a lot of people kind of angry so you guys can have that one

so like what should I post about on here? should I use it more like livejournal with long introspective effortposts about what’s going on in my life, or more like twitter and just spew off short little jokes and thoughts as they come? I feel like what excited me about having a place like this when I rediscovered it was being able to share my thoughts, feelings, and ideas without having to contribute to an already congested and overstimulating platform like twitter that vampirically feeds off your attention, but now I’m realizing I don’t know what I want to even say lmao.

Statistically speaking given my race, education level, and address I’m more likely to be a Republican so I’m about to go be an anomaly and vote in the Democrat primary

It’s primary day in Virginia, and this year’s a little different than 2021 because redistricting moved me to a new district that is so far left that the republicans have to switch parties and try to win the Democratic primary in order to have a realistic shot at winning. The two candidates in the primary this year are two similar looking guys with similar names, like that one Futurama joke

Discovered an incorrectly programmed formula in my cigarette inventory book that causes the calculations to be off by anywhere from $100 to $300 every week. Looked through the other stores’ books and realized that the same error exists in almost all of them… which means that some of the other stores have been cooking the numbers because their final variances have been very small. Hmm.

@zeldatra One can only wonder how a summation can be borked. I don't know but how much does it differ from the expected "shrinkage"?

Today was evidently the one-too-many'th time I had to listen to my coworkers spewing various LGBTQ-phobias. Though, I did rant and rave more about the fact that they were standing around gabbing than the fact that I don't need to hear the rest of the crew blaming everything wrong in the world today on people I deeply care about.

Okay, so Mr. Burns forgets Homer Simpson a lot and that’s why he still has a job despite being bad at it on the one day of the week he’s actually there, but how does he get paid? Are nuclear safety inspectors paid on a salary, because Homer sure ain’t punchin’ any clocks.

I have a “I’m in another country and can’t make it to work on time” dream kind of a lot for some reason.

I had a very stressful dream last night where I managed to sell my pilot to [adult swim], but ion the pretense that it was ready to go when it actually wasn’t, so I had two months to get it animated for air at the start of the broadcast season with no budget because the network thought it was finished, and without a budget I had to keep working my retail job at the same time to keep money coming in, AND I was in the UK also to coordinate the actors so I had to fly back to America before the next morning to get to work on time.

Futurama’s society has no conception of how, when, and where the moon landing occurred, but they have video of Rudy Giuliani putting a bunch of garbage on a barge and pushing it out to sea. What were the standards for the retention of information?

@scribus a lore tidbit that the show kind of ignores when convenient, which to be fair, is consistently how they like to do things over there

Overall it’s a fun time that I’d recommend as a co-op stealth game, but if you’re looking for something actually scary to play with your friend you might as well keep looking.
Wednesday, 14-Jun-23 17:49:27 UTC from web -
Another source of scares is “The Skinner Man”, who appears who your sanity is low. After about an hour of playing though I realized he can’t actually cause damage unless your sanity is literally at zero, so with that in mind the incentive to keep my sanity up dropped and the Skinner Man basically became a recurring guest star in my gameplay experience.

If you liked Rockstar Games’ Manhunt, it’s a pretty similar type of game, just without the combat. Enemies can’t be killed, only stunned, and only if you have the specific ability that lets you stun. It’s just enough for you and your friend to run away. The enemy pathing works well for the most part (I suspect the main hunter in each level teleports frequently when you aren’t looking though) but when it doesn’t work it really doesn’t work, I spent a good five minutes trapped in a locker because the hunter that followed me into the very small room it was in got locked into a patrol path that basically had it circling directly in front of me, and with very little health walking out with him there would have killed me. He eventually finally pathed to a different node after my friend made a bunch of noise in a different room but had he not done that I think my run would have ended there. Not great.

The Outlast Trials is a very fun co-op game but it falls unfortunately short on actual scares, probably because actual scares are not really that conducive to a fun co-op experience.
Wednesday, 14-Jun-23 02:36:36 UTC from web-
@zeldatra the opening tutorial sequence is pretty unsettling but as far as scares go you see just about everything the game has to offer in that first sequence and the rest of the game afterwards is a co-op extraction stealth game where you drop into a map, achieve a certain number of specific objectives while avoiding enemies, occasionally get jump scared by a body you thought was dead or an enemy hiding in a locker (and these scares become tiresome very quickly as the same animation is SWF every time and they always occur under the same circumstance), then make your way back to the starting area with one or more of the enemies from the level either chasing you or waiting for you by the exit, and then you and your friend leave. It’s fun for what it is but the survival horror aspect from the first two games, which I initially purchased the game for, is almost completely gone and replaced with Jigsaw-level gratuitous gore and shock dialogue the hunters give you when they’re patrolling.

I don’t care how good your VR technology is, when you’re pricing it at 3.5x the Valve Index, which is already prohibitively expensive for the average consumer, I’m just not gonna ever touch it

I'm close to buying a house: my current offer is at 225.000€ for a 88m² house with 4 rooms, 163 m² parcel. However I have to do a ton of work there to get it to a state that is up to current standards, like the electric switch box, the bathrooms, windows... The garden is also more a jungle than habitable. I hope I won't regret it.
Monday, 12-Jun-23 09:38:19 UTC from web-
@scribus The garden is full of bushes and other stuff. The owners planted a fir tree relatively in the middle and it has grown so big that there is barely any room left for anything else. The first thing that has to be done in that garden is to fell the tree. Also it is such a kind of fir tree that is not even beautiful and full. It looks more like a skeleton of a tree with more branches than needles.
