  • I can watch sports I don’t play. Like football(both American type and what we call soccer), MMA(although I haven’t watched anything in years), basketball(but only NCAA), hockey, the occasional baseball game. I’ll make an exception for boxing and tennis, those are watchable even when I was deep into them. But golf‽ How does anyone watch that? I get walking the greens, and hitting it every few minutes yourself, but watching someone else just seems so boring.










  • Granted, you now can no longer know the momentum. But it’s all you can think about. You eagerly dive deeply into Heisenberg’s detractors, desperate to find a solution. For months you learn more about the quantum world than you ever wished to in multiple lifetimes. It starts to bleed over into your everyday life. You start doing the mental calculus to make sure everything you order when eating out comes to $33.13 just so you have an excuse to tip Planck’s constant. Your sex life begins to suffer as you try to argue “it’s both engorged and flaccid!” As you contort your penis and/or labia majora into a roughly sinusoidal wave function. No one at work cares about your ramblings about how no two customers can share the same account because of the Pauli diversification principle.

    But then it happens, you finally understand. Something about the unintuitive has become nothing more than simply logical to you.

    At first the understanding was enough.

    Then you became restless.

    How could you put this knowledge into actionable good for the world?

    It starts slowly. You first notice the street lights while driving. Not lit ones turning off, but blinking and burnt ones suddenly start to grow bright as if they were replaced in those femtoseconds it took your neurons to notice the change.

    You begin to wonder what else you can possibly manipulate.

    While in this magnanimous day dream, you begin to see yourself not entirely unlike the fictional Dr. Manhattan. You see yourself bringing peace and prosperity to the world.

    Could you create such a future? Are you capable of resisting the inevitable intoxicating draw that kinda power would grant you?

    Your thoughts are suddenly silenced for the first time in years as you are blind sided by a semi truck cause you ran a red light lost in your day dream.

    (That is the end, this next part is purely because of my brain rotted Internet addiction. And yes, it is an homage to ShittyMorph)

    Your conscious still exist. This isn’t the movies where you drift away from your corporeal form, witnessing your last violent moments. No, this is… peaceful. No clouds and pearly gates or fire, brimstone, and demon in the center of a frozen lake. No, this is less theatrical. You experience pastel shades of light blue, green, yellow. They start to form blurry shapes. The indistinct shapes begin to gain form. Things are beginning to sharpen. You see a metal box surrounded by flashing lights. Your thoughts return to your childhood. Like that time in 1998 when The Undertaker threw mankind off of hell in a cell 16 ft through the announcer’s table


  • I set up steam family share with a friend recently. He really just wanted the fromsoft catalog I have (like all of them; ds (1,2,&3), sekiro, armored core 6, and he already had elden ring which what got him into the souls genre in the first place) plus I got a decade plus of humble bundles. (Literally just hit 666 games a year ago, but fucked it up cause I wanted Hades during the summer sale)

    I wasn’t expecting anything in return cause of my obvious backlog. But he told he he bought avowed and I should check it out. It didn’t hold me. But I got bored yesterday and started to check what was newly certified for the steam deck. I noticed I had the dead space remake, but I never bought it. It said it was a family member’s. So I kept looking. I have all the new games available cause I guess all the family members get pooled?

    I’m talking the new oblivion remaster, monster Hunter rise, cyberpunk phantom Liberty, and so much more! Including… Wait for it… Lords of the fallen! I started downloading it like a half hour ago. I’m very excited! Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
