It’s been tons of fun, but ngl, hanging with parents for like a week almost non stop has been a little grating at times. From having to play tour guide to just Boomer comments…oof.
When we get back to Tokyo on Monday (head back to the US on Thursday), I might spend a day by myself!

And then in my other room with a desk, I have this one. Basically same features, except it's a typical desk lamp with a base and doesn't have a remote. I came across this in a hotel in Seattle and was like "I NEED this." Though it's not really a monitor lamp.

I'll lurk them, maybe even start typing out a comment, but then end up deleting it. FWIW, the overall referenced thread was NOT one I intended on actively participating in.
Anyway, it feels like if I say the wrong thing, someone is going to jump down my throat. Even if they don't do it in a reddit-style manner. That's not to say I'm not willing to consider other viewpoints and new information; I am. But there are some community members who, to me, can be quite brusque. And I'd rather just stay out of their way, even if I often do agree with these folks.
And I also think there are people here who feel like they have to leave their opinion on everything. Like, it's OK to not say anything. Just upvote or ignore and move on.
I get it, this is a discussion board. We are here to discuss. But that doesn't mean one needs to drop in everywhere.
So I just mostly stick with the lighter side of things on the site these days.

So was curious how Aion 2 was.
I'm still in the starter area so haven't seen a whole lot. The character creator is pretty impressive. Probably one of the most advanced ones I've seen. With gameplay, the combat system seems interesting if not a bit chaotic. It's not tab targeted, but more action-based. I chose Assassin for my class, which was what I was in the original game.
At the same time, it's giving me vibes of generic Korean MMO. Which I'm not a huge fan of. So Idk. I'm not really planning to play it long-term; I have FFXIV as my long-term MMO. But I would like play enough to at least get a good baseline on it. We'll see.

Or even the couple singles that came out in-between the two albums; the ones in the warehouse.
And I've liked the new album plenty. I had it on repeat constantly during my commutes. But I don't watch the new videos like I still do with the Volcano videos.

It's interesting looking at the WDC and WCC standings. If Max and Red Bull keep doing well like this, they can potentially get P2 the WDC and at least P3 in the WCC by the end of the season. Max is only 8pts behind current third place Lewis (221 vs 229) and 17pts behind current second place Russell (238). And Russell's luck is awful, sadly.
Team-wise, RBB is only 7pts behind current third place McLaren.
And the White Bulls with 100pts is pretty damned impressive, too. That puts them at the top of the midpack teams.
Though in the end...Kimi is only like one race away from winning it all.
The big talk is obviously Lewis' seemingly being left out to dry. However, looks like that was Lewis' choice, not the team's. Guess Lewis wanted to maintain track position, only to eventually lose it. You win some, you lose some.
One thing that's starting to piss me off is the TV direction. Particularly the picture-in-picture stuff. There were apparently some decent overtakes in the midfield. And they were shown...in a little box on the left side of the screen, while nothing of any note was happening in the main view with the lead cars. Getting tiring seeing this each race.
On a diff note, just a heads-up: I'll be traveling during the COTA race weekend in two weeks (going to Japan!). I'll likely not be able to watch live or even post on time. So if someone else would like to take up the reins that weekend, feel free. But if no one does, I'll post something eventually.

JCPhoenix LinkMassive Semen Explosion after Blaze Hits Bull Artificial Insemination Facility, Firefighters Forced to Dodge ‘Projectiles’ Like, "moneyshots?" Ohhh. That makes more sense.A huge fire at a cattle breeding facility in Australia has caused thousands of dollars in damage after at least 100 cylinders containing bull semen were destroyed.
Country Fire Authority Gippsland commander Chris Loeschenkohl said the crew had to be wary of "projectiles" coming at them while they tackled the blaze.
Like, "moneyshots?"
"The liquid inside the cylinders was rapidly expanding and essentially the lids of the cryogenic cylinders were just popping off the top and projectiles were being thrown from the building," he told ABC.
Ohhh. That makes more sense.

I haven't seen the John Oliver segment, but I feel like John Oliver's audience just laugh at whatever he's intending them to laugh at. It often feels like he just goes "LOOK AT THIS, IT'S RIDICULOUS INNIT? HAHAHA!" and the audience laughs along with him. Or the audience just laughs at random stuff. Someone on my Mastodon instance shared a clip of one of his segments a while back. Oliver was showing some B-roll of whatever thing he was talking about. He wasn't saying anything particularly funny in the moment (understanding humor is subjective), and the B-roll wasn't anything funny either. Yet I think because of the cadence/tone of his voice, some audience members would just laugh, as if it was expected. It was bizarre.
Idk. I watched Jon Stewart and Colbert back in the day. So it's not like I'm not used to that type of show. But feel like John Oliver hits differently. And not in a good way.
So I could see how an audience who might be nerdy gamers might react unexpectedly.

Has home office setup with at least two desks
Yes...technically? Like I do have two desks in my bedroom, where my gaming computer is, where I'm sitting right now, but I rarely work here. On the occasions I WFH, I have a spare bedroom with a single desk.
But, the twist here is that my brother uses my account. So maybe it's his WFH setup?
That said, we have similar shopping habits, so practically anything that applies to him would apply to me and vice versa.
The only one that I didn't understand was this:
Does not normally buy cases with stands in them
I even looked at the purchases around the date that the comment was added and didn't see anything that it would apply to. No furniture or home furnishings, which is what I think of when I read that.

Because I played it like a part time job!
Anyway, that means I've moved on to Trails of Cold Steel II, which is naturally the sequel to the first title. Like a full-on story continuation, not a Final Fantasy-type numbering convention. This is a "partial replay." I started this on my Vita when it came out, then did my typical thing with JRPGs where I put it down to take a break and then never went back to it. Don't remember how far I got then, but I'm about 10hrs in now.
Having played both Trails from Azure and Trails to Zero (the "Crossbell arc," which is the name of the polity the games take place in) earlier this year, it's neat to see how the storylines in each arc influence each other. Crossbell happens during CS1 and the beginning parts of CS2, which neighbors the country of Erebonia, where CS takes place (I think there are four main games in the "Erebonia arc").
And as I've probably said before when talking about these games, I really enjoy this world being continuous and deep. While the storylines are separate and don't require a player to play both arcs (I played CS1/CS2 before the Crossbell games because the latter hadn't been released in the West yet, even though they were released before the CS games) and so are the vast majority of characters, playing Azure and Zero gives one perspective on an event, while CS1/CS2 give another perspective on those same events. You kinda get to see both sides of this overall conflict between these nations. Which is driven by the various conflicts within each nation, which is what each arc is really looking at. Basically nothing happens in a vacuum and I really enjoy that fact in these LoH "Trails" games. It feels real. Because that's exactly what we see in real life. Seemingly local problems can reverberate beyond borders and all that.
Anyway, I got like 7 more games to get through in this damned series. Wish me luck.

I used to think street circuits are great, and some definitely are. Singapore and Baku come to mind. But the newer street circuits are mid at best or just awful like Madring.

Because I had watched the replay of the pre-race show beforehand and knew it started raining right before the race start!
But luckily it wasn't! Well, only about the first 90min or so. And man what a race. Rain, technical issues, starting mishaps, some battles, even a random PU failure at the end...
Very happy to see Max P1 once again! And Hadjar almost kept P3 after George's PU failure (this guy is feast or famine) just laps from the end. That last minute VSC pit that Max did was a bit worrying at first, since he lost track position to Kimi, but then Kimi did the same thing the next lap, so Max got his track position back anyway.
Props to Hamilton on a great drive, too. He was part of the half of the grid that decided to start on slicks instead of inters. I think at one point he was like a minute behind the leader. But as the track dried and everyone went to slicks, he was able to cut through the field and achieve P3.
With George not gaining ANY points today, does seem Kimi's WDC is basically in the mail. I haven't done the math or looked at anything, but I think Kimi is approaching 100 points ahead of George in second place.
Next weekend, Formula 1 doesn't go very far, since they'll be in Singapore, next door. Look forward to another late post, as I probably won't stay up for that one again.
EDIT: First time watching a race at Sepang, as I only started watching in 2021. Man...why can't we have cool tracks like this be part of the calendar still?
