Dang... my old life insurance advisor passed away a while back and it looks like his number has been re-assigned... possibly to a crypto-scammer. What a disappointment

So, on the topic of judging your +/- on your trips based on playlist... I was a bit late for work today but I was able to identify it was out of my control because I arrived a whole song later than I should have lol
Ohh this is good. Right now, the USA is gung-ho on trying to outlaw abortions. If they succeed, it will lead to a massive spike in female deaths and injury.
Been working on trying to soft mod my PS2... so far it's been a non-stop supply of "everything that can go wrong will go wrong" lol I've been playing .Hack GU on PC and, tbh, it's horrible. I was expecting it to be like the original .Hack games on the PS2, but so far it's been a colossal letdown. It kinda feels like they stretched the game out, but didn't fill in the gaps... so there's a whole lot of nothing. The PS2 version I remember had a much better atmosphere, and more…
Nerding update... PS2 was still a bust. I caved and ordered a pre-made PS2 memory card with Freemcboot installed. I'm hoping this will allow it to see the hard drive properly and boot games from there? That card should arrive Friday. Today I'm just waiting for my SD card to come so this idiot will stop shaming me lol. Post coming about it later.
So tired yesterday I made it to bed before midnight lmao. I was practically a walking zombie by the end. I was a bit worried that I might have been coming down with COVID beccause I've been sneezing a bit lately, and I've been dead tired the last few days... took a test this morning and it was all clear, though. Maybe it's just all those nights of getting 3-4 hours of sleep finally catching up LOL
Took my youngest to watch a friend of mine play baseball today. Then took both kids to the park for the night... Perfect kinda day
Been in an off mood the past few days. Exhausted, and just feeling very "meh" I'm in better spirits today, though I really wish this afternoon energy crash thing would stopp happening already :\
Australia has some fucking incredible punk bands happening right now. Found oout about The Chats earlier, and today I found Amyl and the Sniffers. This song I think came out in 2019, but they NAILED That 70s/80s punk aesthetic. https://youtu.be/2y-ktDbLJ-Q
Got some enamel pins from Wish today hehe. "Today I will be a lazy blob" should be my new mantra lol
Also got up to making cookies too... Haha
Got some component cables for my PS2. I can't believe how much better it looks. These screenshots don't even do it justice. Here's the full resolution of that first pic: https://cdn.noisecashimages.net/Abraxas/fbd9edaf697172bb5ee6aaa4c05422c1.png
May 16th - you know what that means! lol While May 16th is unofficially dubbed Lagwagon Day by fans of the band (because of the song), the song itself is actually about a member of the band finding out he wasn't invited to a close friend's wedding on May 16th, and his immediate bitter feelings toward it all. https://youtu.be/hzYOA4-xNaA
Not much to noise about, but I set a new personal best for typing speed + accuracy lmao. 120 WPM @ 95% accuracy!
Messing around in Photoshop, came up with these designs :) Oh, I should be clear - the planchette designs aren't mine. They were from some assets I bought on Etsy.
I'm still around, just not doing the best with juggling hobbies lol. Here's a quick doodle I made for a friend of mine in another community.
Funny to see people simultaneously shit on NFTs while getting irate about somebody trying to ruin the Mona Lisa... There are so many high-resolution pictures of that thing that I could just save and print and hang... Or, just go to the museum and take a photograph... basically the same logic as right-clicking and saving an NFT.
