Roboquest.

Fast paced fps rogue-lite. Its got a bit of story, though it basically boils down to ‘punch bots’.

There are ‘classes’, but it’s really just whatever special ability you want. And there are stats on guns, but those can mostly be ignored as you can just upgrade whatever weapon you have or like to use.

Also, nunchuck cast iron pans.

It is a very pretty and strange place. I enjoyed the time I got to spend there.

We still have our lovely national parks… For now… Culturally though, eugh.

It’s been a roller coaster.

Monday “my” stray cat who greets me in the morning on my way to work had completely lost the use of his back legs, crawled over to me with the front two to accept the pets and defroster warmed canned food. He’d been able to walk the previous week, but something had clearly happened to cause his gait to become awkward. I’m guessing he either got hit by a vehicle or some people actively hurt him. It was raining on Monday, freezing to Tuesday. I got a new device in the mail to try out, and while it’s a bit ahead of others in the genre, it’s so bare bones I’m a bit disappointed.

So Tuesday he wasn’t around. I don’t think he managed to dry off or get to somewhere warm because of the injury. I slept early.

Wednesday he still wasn’t around, and I doubt he survived the freeze. Work kept me busy and I actually got to stream a bit of the new Lumines game.

And so far today is going well so far. I got fancy cardboard delivered and went ahead and bought probably way more than I should have.

Friday: my little stray lives. His back legs have patches of fur rubbed off from him dragging himself around for the week, but he’s still happily eating and managing to get around with a funky teetertotter motion on.

Wow, these look neat.

And until I see some price tags that’s about as excited for things as I’m going to get.

Fetterman is next up for reelection in 2028 and serves until Jan. 3, 2029.

If we could have gotten rid of him on the 4th, we would have.

I enjoy ppsspp myself. The psp had a good collection of games that work very well as mobile games. All the Dj max games, half minute hero, cladun, disgaea, Patchwork heroes, and my personal favorite title for a game series

Holy invasion of privacy badman, what did I do to deserve this?

Basic telekenisis. I want to be able to move object(s) with my mind. This can include me, also giving me a base level of flight.

It would just be so convenient. Nothing is ever out of reach again.

Oh… You have no idea how some of us live.

9am to 8pm every day. Calls minutes apart and they even sometimes overlap.

Gotta keep them hurricanes scared.

The tavern theater in my area used to have a really good fried wings. I’m not sure exactly when but the quality got significantly worse around the covid times while the price got higher enough that I didn’t feel a need to return.

To be fair any bubbly drink will make a part of me explode.

My SO phrased it as “I don’t think I can vote for a woman for president.” and so they didn’t vote at all.

An issue with the presidential race isn’t getting the republican vote, it’s getting the dems to actually show up.

Shitty stores are still very much around.

Anti chamber, portal, journey, and Rez.

I’ll take a stab at it.

There are no known owl species that naturally grow up to 16 pounds. The rest of the numbers are just as meaningless.

If you wanted to check what it would take for a random owl species to migrate across the ocean from europe to north america, that’s something we can kind of check.

After a bit of lookup, it seems that the burrowing owl needs about 50-75 calories a day at rest to live, flight multiplies those calories by a factor of roughly 9.2 times. (I’mma round up to 10 because fuck it.) So 500-750 a day of pure flight at a speed of somewhere between 2 and 33 mph. I’m going to settle at 20 because I like easy numbers and I feel like it’s not too crazy fast. So 20 miles per hour across 24 hours gets us a distance of 480 miles. Iceland and Scotland are 500 miles away. Assuming any of these assumptions are at all fair, it seems like an owl hellbent on crossing the ocean could manage to do it with laser guidance in less than two days without access to ground based food.

Oh thought she had already done that. Well, broken clock rights this one.

I would have to post something that people interact with… I’m not that kind of person. I usually get none to one reply to stuff I post, I think the highest mine has ever gone is three. I also couldn’t keep up with it.

No no, you see, the parts of Russia that weren’t parts of Russia 5 years ago is not invasion, it’s defense!
