Just started having flashbacks of my dads face when I started beating him on games and remembering him stopping playing Command & Conquer for years after I wiped the floor with him.
Now its come full circle and my face mirrored his and the disappointment I felt in myself. :frown::laugh:
Weirdly coinciding with Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection release, think I will skip letting Jack play that for now just in case of Déjà vu.
Although kind of tempting for a 3 generation triple threat between me, my dad and Jack.

I can't believe I'm still hot under the collar about something that happened last night. But to be fair, I haven't felt this kind of "burning from the inside out" anger in a long time. For someone who has never had therapy, I've managed myself pretty well. Only took one knee-jerk, virtue-signalling a-hole to upset the balance, but hey, given the current climate, who isn't on edge?
In better news, WoN's audiobook is finally available, FotS drops in 3 days, and I have enough spite to fuel my writing for the next week, I wager. So, y'know, taking the bad with the good.

I don't know why is it but l feel like my life is currently in a state where I have always dreamt it to be. One good example is that I feel like I've finally got rid of an eating disorder. I've been fighting it for years, and that's how it has felt like: fighting. Eventually losing. Now I just realized I've done nothing to fix my eating habits but I just can't recall when was the last time I ate too much, and, for the first time ever, I don't feel like I'd need to fight against an urge to mistreat myself with food.
I started to consider volunteering for next autumn to share my smile with others, now that I finally have something to share. There's some work offered every year at the local library, such as reading books for the elderly and impaired people :smile: That kind of work could also help me get over my terrible stagefright :laugh:
Life's good. Too good for me, sometimes it feels like that.

I'm kinda amazed by how many people I've been losing respect for lately and also how many people are willing to ignore everything that's going on in the world to make all the bad stuff about them. Must be nice, having no compassion.

Wonder if I have managed to drop enough hints for my wife to have a boozy video chat with her friends on Friday night so I can sneak off to play Command & Conquer: Remastered when it releases.

If it doesn't work, try giving her a gift card to a massage, a café, a beauty shop... something she likes, and tell her that you want her to have some time for herself. Buy a bottle of wine in advance and give it to her when she returns. That way you'll get HOURS of free time to play, and even if you're in the middle of the game when she returns, she can't be mad because you have wine for her.
In case she still is, give her a foot rub. No one's mad after a foot rub.
Yes, I'm a woman.

All been used and lockdown has made all my techniques null and void as she can’t really leave the house at the moment and I’m in work full time. Last time I bought her & a friend a day trip to the spa and her friend dropped out and she wouldn’t go alone so I ended up going with her. :laugh:
Kids aren’t at school, she doesn’t drive and she can’t see any friends in person. She is however getting through copious amounts of gin.
PS She hates anyone touching her feet. :laugh:
At the moment the only time I get is if she has a longer than usual bath and I get 30mins to have a quick game of something. It’s not that she minds me doing it but we don’t get much time to ourselves outside of kids and work so I don’t tend to game unless she’s out or preoccupied.

Considering Kaz ran away from a wasp when it buzzed in his face and the fact that he wouldn't use the yard for his business for a few days last week... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he probably got stung at some point without us knowing.
Either that, or getting eaten alive by deerfly when the hub took him out to the friend's forest property made him afraid of flying bugs. The fearful look in his eyes when a fly got into our house... Poor baby. ^^;
+The producer who narrated WoN offered her services for FotS. I just--I have no words. O_O

.... are you sure that she's a woman?
Bad joke. Sorry about that :laugh:

I got some GREAT news today in my mailbox and it seems that a dream that I had already given up for ever happening is finally coming true. But I don't dare to celebrate just yet, let's see how it goes!
Also, I can't wait for the writing contest results to drop in :nailbiting:

Here I am waiting for the Classic Costume DLC to come out for Resident Evil 3 Remake as I never pre ordered the game, only to realize it's been there the entire time. I even used the search bar to find it! Talk about being blind as a bat... mine now! :facepalm: :laugh:

Hey, you're never too old for some ice cream. :wink:
CT: Why does the uploader tell me there are no problems with the cover if it needed to cover to stretch an extra 0.125 for bleed (I.e. to prevent the white bordering issue I had with the proof)? Shouldn't the uploader tell me that in advance so I don't wind up waiting up to 72 hours for the paperback to launch? O_O Damn it, KDP... *fingers crossed it goes live today*

I'm thinking, how amazing your children can be
All it took was to see my daughter smiling and laughing in hysterics
And it made my day
It's the little things, it really is

My bank sending me messages like "was it you, who bought all those books? why would you buy a couple dozen books? it must be an imposter" is weirdly funny to me. I know it's been a while, but seriously this isn't even the most books I've bought in one go before, bank; keep up.

This tells me something really sad about the once-so-sophisticated human kind.
Another example about this:
I tend to carry a book with me everywhere I go. When I'm attending lectures at the university, I spend all the 10-15 minute lecture breaks reading that book. It's a rare sight in the lecture hall: usually people are just chatting with their friends or they have gone to fetch some coffee before we continue, or they're checking some laws the lecturer was talking about, but usually I see no one else reading fiction besides myself. If I see any and we get an eye contact, there usually is a slight "welcome to the nerd family" -smile between us
One time a fellow student started to chat with me with words "Are you reading A BOOK?! Wow! What is it about? Is it good? Damn, I haven't read a whole fiction novel for YEARS... I should read more but I just don't have the time"
... and immediately after that they took their phone and started to browse random Instagram hashtags.
Don't have the time for reading? Yeah, rrrright. :laugh: I mean, it is OK for me to state that one just doesn't like reading, it's just not for everyone and I understand that, but lying about "not having the time for it" and desperately trying to convince me that "I'm a good person, I read books too!" just makes me throw a silent lol inside my head.
Oh, and as arrogant as this sounds like
whistle: whether a person reads is not important for me as a person, but whether a nation reads... that IS important, and it should be important for everyone.
