I decided to request a refund for Helldivers 2 on Steam.
After playing for a bit, I realized I just wasn't really into the game and decided I didn't want to keep playing it.
Just wasn't a fan of the movement and a few other things.

I’m at the imaging lab. Traffic was light, so I’m early. There was so much great music playing during the drive, & it sure did ease my anxiety. Ian Hunter, T. Rex, Patti Smith, Foo Fighters, a-ha, Todd Rundgren, Cigarettes After Sex, Bruno Mars, Krokus, Queen, Killers, Garth Brooks, & my fave Judas Priest song ever, The Hellion/Electric Eye. #ThankYouSiriusXM

Yet another homage to the stars war with the royal ship landing on the death star
Then a mix of imperial costumes and Nazi brown coats
Followed by a king and queen in middle ages garb
And a modern quartet playing live
And a Caesar moment with Roman decorations
Then openly scapegoating the main character
I don't even know where to start with all of this, it's questionable from end to end just in this 2 minute scene

here is a little hack i came up with while playing with glow-in-the-dark sticky tape: you can put it on blue indicator LEDs to diffuse and dampen them and change their color.
two layers of the green tape i have change the 'harsh' monochromatic blue into a soft azure, and as a questionable bonus it keeps glowing green for a while when unpowered.
it put it right on the LED, below the light guide, which won't always be possible and may possibly have heat concerns?

Das "The Black Company" Rollenspiel zu den Romanen von Glen Cook kommt von Arc Dream - entwickelt von den Köpfen hinter "Delta Green". Das könnte etwas werden.
(Es gab vor 20 Jahren schon einmal ein lange vergriffenes Rollenspiel während des "D20"-Booms. Daran beteiligt war ein gewisser Robert Schwalb.)
We went to the Orpheum last night to see Buster Keaton "Go West" - which I have not seen before as there was no usable print until recently. This trio plays 1920's popular music before the show. I was standing watching them when I noticed that everyone coming up the stairs into the bar and hearing this music broke out into a broad grin.

I have started Hades 2, I've browsed the options, I've quit the game.
My expectations are too high to give it just a try so shortly before going to bed. If I start playing now I fear I won't get any sleep tonight.
Can you imagine the pure force of will I was able to muster for that?!
Felt rather unproductive today, so I decided to check out some games instead. So, this is where you come in: Tell me why I'm dead wrong – and why those are your favorite games ever! 😜 (Both are rated as "Overwhelmingly Positive")

RIP Albini, who died at 61. He was an a**hole for the right reasons, after he grew up a little:

I’ve got the easiest job on earth, I’m a straight white dude, fuck me if I can’t make space for everybody else.”

Played the Diceomancer demo and it's really interesting. The name is silly but when you hit the dice moment, you get it.
I haven't played a game where a core mechanic lets you mess with everything in it this fundamentally since Hack n Slash. The dice moment is incredible and worth grabbing the demo to avoid spoiling it -- it occurs early on (after a few battles). Art is really nice too. Love the player animation.

- Prusa is quick to blame all the problems on wet filament :eyeroll:

Over the years, I’ve helped someone on a job search. One thing that has been frustrating is watching this person accept and adopt advice for an improved strategy too slowly to work.
It’s like “you’re no longer playing the game at level 2 — you’re on level 3 now. You should’ve done that 6 months ago, but now I think level 2 is too late to work. You need to skip ahead to 3 or 4 now.”
