Keep winning by drinking water.
Oh I'm being told my province has sold all the water rights to Nestle. For like no money at all. Fuck.

The quest to figure out blue prince continues. I've pulled at most of the obvious threads and now it seems like it's mostly fairly esoteric puzzles that I might just look up guides online for. But I think I'm going to try and solve the sanctum puzzles and the 8 realms map first. It's slow going these days though usually only get about a day or two done in a session before I feel overwhelmed by it all.
I'm unwinding with towerborne, it's a beat em up by stoic, made Banner saga, and while it's nowhere near as interesting as banner saga, it's fun enough and has amazing art design around a fairly harmless live service wrapper. I don't think you should pay money for it, but it will be free to play at some point they say.
Sorry the best we got is paw patrol. Education is now being outsourced to Prager university.
You will own nothing and you will like it!
Blue prince continues to consume me, I am working on what I think is the final big puzzles which require quite a bit of learning the lore of the world to solve which I'm really enjoying.
Me too, I recently reached the 46th room and there's still many mysteries to solve, and the world building is very interesting so I want to solve what's going on! I also have a notebook I keep beside me to write down things in.
and you get that's a bad thing right?
right?
Yeah I watched the first video of him playing it and he was doing pretty good.
Blue Prince. It's a strange puzzle game about a randomly shifting house that you have to try and find the secret room. But because you're randomly drawing rooms (sort of randomly, you get control over it) it can be difficult to accomplish all the the things you want in a timely manner. But it's got all this lore and story about the douche bag Royals who owned the house before you. Stuff about your mum who left the family and why she disappeared. Then I got the classroom which unsurprisingly teaches you the mechanics of puzzles in rooms, but the fourth one totally blew me away and I don't know what the game is at this point anymore. I'm in the middle of a 4 day stretch of work so I haven't played earnestly since Friday but I'm eager to dig back in.
As someone with no beer or booze knowledge at all, it just seems like a very expensive drink that never tastes very good.
Nope, I don't think he's a terrible person, but he's not a good dad. It's pretty clear now that he never really had any passion for anything (or he did and never chased it, I guess we have something in common) and just kinda went with the plan for boomers. So he got a boring job that paid enough to have a house and two cars and 3 kids. He went to work and spent time with the kids occasionally. But he never taught me anything how to shave? Mom got me a razor and told me to figure it out. How to talk to girls, or date or anything? Nope, he vaguely alluded to making sure I only jerked off in my bedroom when I was like 16. And then never talked about sex or dating or relationships at all. Had a hard day? Well he'll just shrug and go "yep it sucks out there sometimes".
And that's probably the best part about him. His treatment of my mother is infuriating, not because he's actively abusive, but because he doesn't do anything and acts like because he worked for 25 years (he retired early because he got too tired of working at 57 and basically nuked their retirement plan causing my mom to have to work until her RA diagnosis which forced her to retire in 50s) he has earned being a lazy shit head who only needs to wash the dishes and take out the garbage. He can't cook, hates cleaning, and basically sits in front of a computer all day playing free to play mobile games on it while watching ESPN all day until the games themselves come on. He has no reason to leave the house and begrudgingly walks the dog. He's basically done this for over fifteen years and is now in his 70s. My mom has begged him to get therapy or couples counselling and he has stoically refused to even discuss it.
Presumably something will survive. But life as we know it is certainly at risk of extinction, especially considering our current plan to do nothing hasn't done the trick. But what are we going to do? Make less money?
