I swear I thought the Minecraft movie was already out, so seeing all these ads and promotions for it has been such a trip.

I thought it came out last year, based on nothing.
With all the crap being churned out now, this one actually looks fun?

My brain is in a different room to the rest of me and I don't like it
Today I am trying to cut as much dairy out of my diet as I can. Just to see how bad this intolerance/allergy really is.
Otherwise, weight loss continues. clothes getting baggy. 😊
I hope you find what you're looking for. 🙂
I should go in for testing like miss seagoon did 😵💫
HA HA 🚎
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

Legitimate question; what has happened to the Monash Freeway the last four or so weeks? Morning commutes are now ~75 minutes from like 6:30am onwards. Used to be a clean run up until like 7:15 or so.
If it were a family feud question I'd answer with accidents, return to office and dual cabs.

It's World Happiness Day today 🙂
If we get some decent rain, then I will be happy.
Don't tell me what to do.
I wouldn't dream of it.
We are rebellious. We must be grumpy today.
I'm happy because it's not fucking sweltering and I can do a workout today.
the sky will cry soon
Hmmm 😾
Oh well
😂
I got very lucky with my tech support session yesterday. I just had to set up a scanner, which could have been simple enough, but the laptop wasn't connected to wifi, nor was it picking up the hotspot from my phone.
Fortunately, the laptop was old enough to still have a disc drive. So I was able to install the drivers from the disc that came with it instead.
Every house with those demon driveless devices should have at least one usb cd/dvd rom. People mock the humble optical drive until the shit hits the fan, then they roll around squealing
It worked in this case. But it was so weird with this laptop, it wasn't picking up any wifi networks. They had an ancient laptop at home as well and that one was connected to the wifi there. I was even able to connect the printer to the wifi via WPS. This laptop was picking up nothing. I was ready to drive down to the nearest Jaycar and pick up an ethernet cable.
I think I assume to much of a tech competence baseline in these sessions. At first I was worried they wouldn't be able to login to the laptop because they bought it a while ago specifically to scan photos and hadn't touched it in years. I should ask people to have their diaries with their passwords handy, make sure they can login to the devices and accounts they want to work on, and I should bring a couple of common cables just to make sure as well.
My older laptop stopped working with my WiFi at some point, I had to buy a wireless dongle to work with the newer wifi equipment.
That's what's so weird. This laptop isn't ancient but it couldn't find anything. The older laptop looked like it was from 2009 and was connected to the internet

I have one of these. I also have a usb 3 1/4 floppy disk drive, do I get bonus points for that?
I have a zip drive which I proudly display at the back of a cupboard somewhere.
Used to be used for a medical practice where they'd send disks up to Syd. every week for back ups.
Those floppy drives are mad useful when you do a deep clean and find Ye Olde Shite. I've still got one kicking around, amazing how many times it gets used once people realise you have one
I don't have Ye Olde Shite, those li'l guys are in current use here. My sewing machine uses them for design files, so they are my link from the computer.

Good morning Melburnians. There will be sunshine, wind, rain, possible storms. A little for everyone today.
Have to head back to melbs on PT.. bugger.
Luckily the trains have roofs. You've got this.
Good morning. It's will be an interesting one for sure.
Definitely a hold on to your hats kinda day.
My boxes should be arriving today. I don't even have anywhere to move to yet, but the prospect of having to pack the house up is so overwhelming/terrifying I am determined to start as early as possible.
Waking up at 530 completely refreshed is not usual for me.
Things of note today
2nd last of current role. Tidying up some things for handover and that's pretty much it.
New AC game out, which shall be purchased swiftly
My new cannabis script is arriving at some stage.
Gonna be a good day
New AC game out, which shall be purchased swiftly
NOOOOOOO. Read a review or something first. People have got to stop giving ubisoft money if the game is shit. I stress the IF there. If its good go nuts! Took me ages to get my wife to see she was in an abusive relationship with AC games. She hate played odyssey and I had to put my foot down after she was yelling at the tv.
I have read reviews and watched gameplay videos over the past while.
Looks better than previous iterations.
And honestly, I've enjoyed each AC game to some extent. Valhalla was a low point for me, but had fun at the start. Mirage was decent, with a fine story.
By all accounts this one is an improvement over the previous RPG ones.
Valhalla didn't gel with me for some reason after awhile, maybe it was the itemization.
I can't say I've been following Shadows but I have heard about the twin protag thing and I'm not really sure I'm so keen on it being a dual protag game.
I've got Xenoblade Chronicles X today to pick up, I think Shadows can wait for a discount or something.
I'm actually looking forward to the dual protagonist thing. Syndicate was fine with it, but the characters were too close to each other. This one offers two very different gameplay styles.
From what I've seen combat is better then before and actually requires a bit of skill. They seem to have taken cues from Ghost of Tsushima.
In any case, got nothing else to play at the moment, so this should do me nicely. I'm off work next week, so can fully immerse myself in it.
I'll keep my eye out on Shadows as I do love the Japanese setting. I'm hoping we'll see Ghosts of Yotei later this year somewhere.
Let me know how Shadows go after you've had a good play session or two out of it.
Will do. I'll probably post my feelings and experiences later today, or tomorrow.
GOY is my most anticipated game this year (I'm pretty certain it's a 2025 release).
Hoping AC is big and decent enough to hold me over until the official announcement for the other one.

Someone's playing guitar real late. It's pleasant though. Twangy, slow, country/blues-esque tune, a lilty voice that's too faint to make out.
It's a vibe and I'm vibing
