I hope they aren't paying to take care of someone's dog.

Me, seeing my name on this list:

Australia used to have an inland sea existing 120 to 90 million years ago called the Eromanga Sea

*looks up Eromanga*

Oh no

I hate the yes vs not now choices. I use DoorDash maybe once a month or two when we're having a lazy night in, and every time I open it (including to check the order progress of an order I just made) it prompts me to turn on notifications. Yes or not now. Here, I'll grab it now.

The thing is, I have notifications on!

I will "never miss an order update" as they say because it's allowed, I've only turned off the million ads they want to send me. These companies constantly being as shitty as possible is getting to me more and more these days.

He's not as fast as or faster than the Flash

Big W good, Woolworths bad. Alright.

This list just proves to me that I have no idea what's going on in other people's heads.

Just turn around now bro

compared to someone like Harvey Weinstein

I don't know anything about what Louis C K did, but the fact that you felt you needed to compare him to WEINSTEIN to downplay it doesn't look good to me.

I kind of enjoyed BotW, but once the awe factor of the landscape wore off it was just a load of mostly unrewarding traveling to too many shrines that were too small. Combine the 120 shrines into like 20 that were 6 times longer each and they would have been cool mini-dungeons that I would have happily done, but as it was I was so bored. The main dungeons were good and I still put 80 or so hours in, but unlike everything pre-Skyward Sword I'll never revisit the game.

Then Tears of the Kingdom was like hey here it all is again but there's three times as much and this time there's no WiiU version to emulate so the performance will be so much worse. Nah.

Oh no our chatbot we intentionally made to be offensive and horrible is doing exactly what we programmed it to, I hope nobody writes an article about this as though it's a mistake and gets people to come and see for themselves!

Is it because I once said I hope Gina Rinehart's entire family spontaneously combusts? Because I stand by that.

Can't wait to get home and put on my shorty-dorts

About 15 years ago when I was at my most depressed and least healthy, I used to get 3 pizzas every weekend (Saturday dinner, Sunday lunch, Sunday dinner) because that worked out as the cheapest deal. One week I only got a single pizza and the delivery guy commented on it, just something small like "Oh only one today?" I never got Dominos again.

I just finished the second Red Dwarf book earlier tonight, I liked it. It's interesting how they've mashed together and expanded on so many of the episodes to make them flow together back to back. I feel so much sorrier for book-Lister than show-Lister, and he was already in a living hell.

Also about halfway through Watcher of the Void by Michael G Manning but there's not much to say about it. If you can get past Will (and Mordecai before him) being fairly unlikeable and impossibly powerful so that it feels like you're playing a game with a child who can make the rules as they go, it's more of the same. This is book twenty-something so if you're reading it you probably know what to expect.

It's just that and the next three Red Dwarfs lined up for now, then back to First Law probably.

I finished up the Lord of the Rings trilogy today, loved it. Now I'm about a third of the way through a reread of Battle Ground (Dresden Files) so that I can get to Twelve Months, probably starting on Thursday. I also listened to ~40% of the last Alex Verus book, I'll be finishing that in the next two workdays too. This is the one good thing about working night shifts in security.

I'm definitely not arguing that, just that every article I see presents them as this super serious contender and everything. Maybe I'm just in denial and I refuse to accept it because they've been the racist asshole joke party led by the same idiot for literally my entire life.

Have you filtered out 99.9% of this site?

The other day I finished The Two Towers, it was great. Right after that I binged all of Skin Game (Dresden Files 15) in one day which has been my favourite in the series since the first time I read it.

Now I'm just cleaning up a couple of random things I've had on the backburner, then it's Return of the King, Peace Talks and Battle Ground as soon as possible so that I can get to Twelve Months.

Other than that, I've picked up my The Wise Man's Fear audiobook again now that I'm working out regularly again because it was my gym noise back in... wow late 2024. Time flies.

Apparently Michael G Manning's latest book came out a couple of weeks ago too, but I haven't had any luck finding it for some reason, no idea what's happening there 🤷‍♂️
