My cat also has a very healthy bedtime, but I'm a night owl. So I'll turn the lights off after 10pm, light up small LED candles, let my cat sleep on my lap, and try not moving too much. After sometime I'll have to wake her up, then we go cuddling together under the duvet. She'll get up early without waking me up. The best friend I ever have.

This is your friendly neighbourhood Ladybug larva.

There goes another good studio. RIP.

You've met a great vet, I'm glad at least one of them is fine now!

At the mean time, one of my family's cat is fighting some other illness. I hope he will pull through it too.

Apart from Mass Effect, Pillars of Eternity, and Deus Ex as others have already mentioned, I'd like to also add:

Grim Dawn.

The conflicts in its Universe feels reasonable, all the factions have their history and reasons of existence, there are beneficial and selfish, but no clear black and white, and everything interacts. The Lore is very good for an ARPG that focuses on combat, loots and built.

The Fifth Element comes to my mind immediately. It was my happy place.

The Lord of the Rings, It's what I watch when I felt lost.

Also, Nostalgia, another film I rewatch when I felt not belonging and nowhere to go back to.

I gave up on GIMP because of this too. I tried to learn, but learning another completely new software is still better than learning GIMP. For both painting and photo manipulation, Krita feels smoother.

My other half goes approximately the same approach. Only warm water every three or five days, the once oily hair gets much better, needs less washing, and very little dandruff too. I like simple method, at least it worked for us. :)

Hello HEMA friend. I repeatedly see tall people get their knees beaten. Then some learn to keep their distances too. But the ultimate killing machine is the left-handed... Lucky we don't have one, but my partner and I try to train our left hands too.

Banana and nuts? I usually eat them as snacks. Any easy to peel fruits will do. I might add a glass of soy milk, too, if really hungry.

I still like Skallagrim. He still gave helpful reviews about blacksmiths and historical weapons that I'm interested in. And IMO, his channel was always more entertainment than scholarship. But HEMA is a martial art that develops slowly, way slower than YouTube algorithm's demand. There are not many new stuffs to talk about. If there has to be fillers to get his channel going, I'm okay with that.

Edit: Back to the topic. There are not many channels that I care about degraded to the point that I can't bare. What makes me a little sad is that from time to time, channels stop publishing videos. Especially after Covid, people found better things to do, so they hibernated their YouTube channels.

We still need Windows 10 to run things. So I switched those systems to LTSC.

It's a nice show, I enjoyed it too. And I surprised the trio appeared as a household while playing the Sims 3.

Wait, that's the behaviour of my cat... Whatever she thinks, I feel sorry... for not been there to be her bed.

I remember every place where I've lived in for more than one week. Including their surrounding areas. I like go back there in my mind from time to time, for many of them don't exist any more.

Yeah, I like world building since as young as I can remember, and continued it till this day. There are several worlds, but all in the same universe. Putting characters in there and see them evolve is fun. Continuing the narratives also helps me sleep, it's like a sort of meditation.

I read it when at school. At the time I thought it was obvious, of course we should have a scientific mindset. Modern societies are built on that, schools are teaching that, also lots of books and abundant educational TV shows that you can watch after school. So I gave the book away. I didn't know society can regress.

I'm watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Just needed something to give me comfort.

My current character was from three years ago, I usually play one character for several years on and off, but they do have sort of different rules and styles.

The current playthrough:

• Don't be a stealth archer. Only use bows when necessary.

• Avoid enchanted equipments. The only enchanted items I'm allowing myself to use are occasional one amulet and one ring.

• Treat my horse as my friend, bring her always. Sadly two of them died in accidents...

• Tender my garden more. I pretend I have a garden back at home.

And the usual personal rules as every other Bethesda games: Play as survival as possible, eat, drink, sleep, no fast travel, but don't turn on Survival Mode.

Ours were all ended up under the refrigerator...
