If nothing else, it looks like he gave a lot of fun comedic actors a payday. I clocked Andy Daly as the Quaker Oats guy. 

I’ve watched the first two episodes, and I dig it. Downloaded the rest of the season on my iPad for my flights back home tomorrow.

Eh what the hell, for $20/year. Sold!

This was my first thought. My second thought: “Do I really need more mail that I’ll just throw away without reading?”

I absolutely adore Baba is You, but I'm apparently too dumb for this game because halfway through it just lost me. Once I find myself staring at a single screen of puzzle for like an hour straight, no closer to solving it, I just had to move on. I still wholly recommend everyone give the same a shot. It's one of the most unique, fun, and clever logic/puzzle games ever made. Like you said, just, maybe, a little clever after a while.

Usually with a puzzle game, if I get stuck, I’ll put it down for a day or two and try to come back with a fresh perspective. That didn’t help much with Baba is You. I kept coming back to the same 3-4 puzzles I was stuck on every day during my lunch break, and I never made any progress. It made me feel insane after a while. I wasn’t even that far in, I think this was the third zone. 

Sold.

I keep thinking I’ll try getting into an MMO. My friend kept trying to get me into EverQuest for years but I just didn’t like it, and I worry that WoW would be the same. Same with FFXIV.

That’s me. Closest I’ve ever got to getting sucked into an MMO was Guild Wars 2, but that only lasted maybe a month. I’ve tried a lot over the years, but nothing sticks. 
 

Now that I think about it, I had an active WoW account for a few months, back around when Diablo 3 came out, I think there was some deal like if you paid for a 6 month sub you got D3 for free. And then I barely played either lol.

I have started to skip battle sequences unless it’s a boss. Since it’s an auto-battler, I don’t need feel the need to watch it play out. 

Yeah, if the preview shows it’s a blowout, I just skip it. If it’s a closer fight, I’ll watch to see what’s happening so that I can plan accordingly. 

Once every couple of months I think “would it be funny to get into WoW now?”

Then I remember it’s an MMO, which means I’ll get tired of playing it after about 3 days. 

god i hope this is as good as it looks

I completely suck at this game. I’ve played probably 20 runs and I think the furthest I’ve gotten is ante 7, once. This is gonna be my new Slay the Spire - a game I played for years, but never really cracked. Every time I finish a run, it feels like a total fluke.

I rewatched Deadwood and the movie. 100/5. Possibly the best thing a human has ever created.

Every time someone mentions Deadwood, I think “I should probably watch all of Deadwood again, huh?” even though it’s only been a couple years since my last watch. Such an oddly comforting show. 

I hate @Biggie so much, I wouldn’t even buy him Unicorn Overlord.

Looks better than the last one, I just wish there was less obvious cgi.  

I get that, but also, it’s a miracle nobody died while making the first one, so I’m ok if they cut a few corners this time around.

Are you going to gamble at all while you're there? I feel like you have to at least donate $20. 

I put in my $20 last night. I had been walking for hours and thought I would take a break at a slot machine for a while. It… didn’t last long. 

This is fun. Had delay complications on my flight out here so I had like a 13 hour travel day on Sunday, and they fucked up my hotel reservation so I had to pay for my first night. Then I get to work, and nobody knows what is happening. I showed up yesterday and couldn’t log into anything, they didn’t have a temporary badge for me so I can’t even get around the building on my own. Eventually they sent me “home” early because they didn’t have any work for me. Then I come in today, and it’s similar. Half of the day so far I’m just doing busywork that will probably hurt things overall, but I had to stop that because they had to spin up operations again to do more stupid shit. Now I’m waiting for that to be done so I can continue on with my bullshit little tasks that will be extremely inefficient, but nobody listens to me when I bring this up. 
 

But hey, I got to wander around the strip yesterday afternoon and look at all of the insane ways to waste money, so that was fun.

This was pretty bad. I only saw the first 2 but this was below average. 

I liked it, but I’m an easy mark for this franchise. 
 

Should’ve watched Nope instead.

I should’ve bought a bigger suitcase. It’s been a long time since I’ve flown for a trip longer than 4-5 days. I just have a carry on and a backpack. I’ll be doing laundry at least once on this trip.

 Caesars Palace Buffet or gtfo

Looking this up. The only way I could ever justify spending that much on a single meal is a ridiculously large/fancy buffet, so good call.

Lol let's get back on topic. 

I’ll be playing some UO on this trip, it’s fine. 

Weird and long, just how I like it.

Awesome, congrats on the opportunity! Are you going to have much free time while there, or will even the weekends be pretty packed, as far as you know? 

 

I'm mostly just wondering if you'll have a chance to go to a show in Vegas, or drive over to the Hoover Dam, for example; both of which you should definitely do if you can, IMO! 

I don’t know for sure, but I think it’ll be normal-ish work days, and I should have at least one day off. The Hoover Dam is on my list. It’s only about a 30 minute drive from where I’ll be working, so I could knock that out in an afternoon. 
 

I was looking at shows, but nothing really caught my eye. Probably just end up people watching on the strip.

Reminder/PSA: DO NOT EAT SUSHI SERVED ANYWHERE ON THE OLD STRIP! 

I’ll play it safe and continue my standard practice of not eating ANY sushi.

That's cool. Enjoying the food I'd imagine would be stellar. 

Oh yeah, I’m making a lot of the best restaurants on Yelp with a single $ rating. The per diem is good, but not that good. 

I work for a major grocery chain, and they’re are in the process of opening a new distribution center in the Las Vegas area. While they’re in this transitional period and operating out of both warehouses, they need extra help, and since I have years of experience in a boring but very specific job, they’re flying me out for two weeks. It was a surprising offer, since I had never heard of anyone at my (low) level getting this type of travel work. 
 

I’m pretty excited. I’ve been to Vegas once, but it was a family trip when I was 18 and we didn’t spend much time in Vegas proper.

I have a trip coming up, so I caved and bought it on Switch. Oh yeah baby, this is my shit. 

Screw the haters, Nope rules.

I’d be cool working 4 10 hour days. 3 day weekends are sooooooooo good

This is what I switched to last summer. It’s quietly life changing. You can spend a whole day doing absolutely nothing and not feel like you’ve completely wasted your weekend.
