I slept in until 9am. This is unprecedented for me on a Sunday. I must have really needed those nightmares about shape-shifting clowns.

@vampiress You will now be prepared for their imminent invasion.

Things I've been playing on my Switch, and vague thoughts on them:

Breath of the Wild: it's a hell of a change from western open world RPGs. In good ways, and ways that frustate me a bit. I suspect the latter will pass though.

Tunic: annoyingly hard, but interesting.

Lego City Undercover: It was $10. I had to. Played it briefly on a friend's Wii U back in the day over drinks. Still funny, still fun.

@vampiress Tunic was one of the first games a beat on my Steam Deck. Perfect portable game, but definitely left me frustrated a few times.

Well how's this for an appropriate thing to turn up this week?

I've wanted these for years, but never found ones that didn't cost as much as a small car, until these appeared for auction on eBay.

I only had "budget" editions of the original Monkey Island when I was young. Crappy half-size things with the beautiful cover art wrecked by "HIT SQUAD" or whatever branding it had.

The back covers of Monkey Island 1 & 2. Including the notable line on the Monkey Island 2 box: “Optional easy mode for beginners and magazine reviewers.”
A phat wad of double-density 3.5” disks. That’s a lotta disks for one game… Below it, the Mix ’n Mojo copy protection thing.

A good teacher can change your life. I was lucky enough to have several, and they are part of why I do what I do today. They made me see the joy in Photography, Movies / TV, and even computer games. (I had a physics teacher to encouraged me to try Ultima Underworld, and we chatted about it every lesson.) It's not an accident they're all things I'm passionate about now.

@vampiress I still talk to one of my college professors 15 years later. Great guy. Great Physics and Computer Science teacher.

I wouldn't read nearly as much as I do now if I didn't have a few quirky English teachers who took the time to help out an overly literal person like me appreciate figurative language.

    Good Morning!

    It's Friday, the internet is down so... welcome to Fuckit Friday! Grab those papers off your desk and just tip them off. Riiiiight into the bin. Because fuck it.

    Close your inbox, don't even bother trying to get it to zero. Because fuckit. Just grab your stuff and leave. Go for a walk somewhere nice.

    Appreciate the dying remains of this planet we've fucked over, because fuckit.

    Grab a coffee. Fire a billionaire into the sun using a huge trebuchet.

    Because FUCK IT.
