reached the end of Metroid Prime 4 and realized that i missed one single scan of a boss’s APPENDAGE so i can’t 100% the game. cool
you can’t make an omelette without cracking a few yegges [LOUD POP] now we’re cooking with gas
made a bunch of japanese curry and used beef for the first time… i think it might be my best yet. it just hits harder with beef vs. chicken
prolly a lukewarm take but, despite having some fun with Metroid Prime 4, i think its a bad Metroid game. companions, radio reminders of where to go, dialogue from alien apparitions… the presence of any dialogue, really. these all kill the environmental storytelling, THE thing Metroid is all about!
always surreal when you discover a couple old coworkers now work for a VC-funded defense company that posts breathlessly about the US Department of War on LinkedIn
just looked up from my phone while walking my dog and she was peeing on someone’s nativity scene. such a good reminder to pay more attention to things. i can’t believe i almost missed that
an effect of Bundler’s takeover that i didn’t realize would happen (but that shouldn’t have surprised me): bundle gem now generates a gem with Ruby’s woefully inadequate Code of Conduct

i just dont understand this expectation that people continue on like normal while the government literally kills us
outside of having to test against true third party APIs, i don’t think i’ve ever seen a mock that didn’t feel dumb as hell to me. i don’t care if my test is a fraction of a second slower because i queried the database. i’d rather my tests be slower but correct instead of faster but convoluted
good morning! what an uneventful and relaxing night. was everyone else’s night uneventful too? let me take a big sip of coffee and open the news just in case
Stranger Things was an adventure of high highs and low lows but i think they really stuck the landing with an incredble depiction of what it must feel like for the characters at the final battle and end of a long D&D campaign. i’m satisfied.
Portland has two city taxes if you make more than $125k/yr that, if not withheld, you have to pay quarterly. but employers don’t have to withhold unless you make more than $200k/yr. EVEN THEN, employers will only withhold above that $200k threshold, resulting in late fees and interest. why. WHY.
everyone in Stranger Things is saying “goddamn” so much like they’re stimming
