tore my achilles ~9y ago, got surgery and cleared for all sports by 10mo. Never got back to 100%, but I was at a **confident** 80%. Could've pushed to 100 if I didn't get lazy with rehab

Even without the new surgery tech, I had no doubt Tatum was gonna get back on the court this szn.

PokΓ©mon Null β€” A Nuzlocke ROM Hack 275+ hand-crafted battles. Generations 1–9. New Mega Evolutions. The hardest Nuzlocke ROM hack ever made.

pokemonnull.com

Haven't made it to petalburg yet and I'm already calcing every fight. Getting bodied, not even full-nuzlocking.

Also I know the hack just came out, but the SEO is predictably bad. Google first page results are all just type:null things.

god bless coworkers that provide context and repeat their question when they ask you something out of the blue in a meeting.

underrated soft skill.

A quantitative way to determine how slammed I am at my day job is by how many unread emails I'm sitting on EoD.

I know some of y'all animals wear your 6 digit unreads as a badge, but I'm trying here okay.

playing through the legendary pkmn romhack Renegade Platinum.

While it's fun, I've only played through the base game end to end once, like +10y ago. IDR where I'm supposed to go, and I keep getting jumped by boss fights.

I might want to stick to gen1-3 for difficulty hacks.

FFT TIC thoughts final:

Finished the game. Liked it in general but not without some nitpicks.

I am just happy I finally got around to playing one of the OGs

FFTIC thoughts 3:

Camera sucks. It's hard to see things and the game doesn't care if you can't. If you missed where that mage is aiming the spell because of a building in the way... welp sucks for you.

you can see it from turn history menu, but I'd prefer to not have to do that.

FFT Ivalice Chronicle impression 2:

I like the portrait art style, specifically the lack of nose definition and general rendering details in the face. It's a very unique vibe.

I've exercised a lot of self control, but I finally waited long enough for the FFT remaster to go on steam sale.

Early impression: like Tactics Ogre, this game doesn't want you to go fast. Feels like you're meant to get walled if you try to progress without grinding some.

Getting around to FF7:Rebirth. Got through the tutorial but now I'm in open world getting blasted by early quest bosses like I'm playing BOTW again.

It sucks I'm forced to play in 30-45m chunks due to IRL, this game kinda sucks when consumed that way.

I've been distancing myself from apple's ecosystem, but every now and then I run into something with not-apple that makes me miss apple.

This time: I just got a new PC and as I'm doing the setup/migration, I can't help but miss Time Machine.

I used to use twitter as a 1 way feed for content I like, hobbies, interests etc. Like a very very curated reddit feed.

I'm a little sad bsky never got the traction for foreign creators. A lot of my fav digital painters and pro players are from asia and twitter is still the main platform there.

Limping and bleeding out, but I made it to the true ending.

Act 3 spoilers: I thought [redacted] was gatekeeping one more nightmare platforming section into the true final boss, but turns out they were the true final boss all along.

They say if you're stuck in Silksong just go explore and come back later. I'm in act 3 and I'm having a shit ol' time in Coral Tower, and there's nothing left to explore.

I've been gaslit to think otherwise, but it's clear as day it's all skill issue with me.

A byproduct of things like reels and tiktok is I can get sick of a song without ever listening to the entire thing once.

The 15s clip of APT or Golden were catchy the first 1000 times I heard it, but I'm quite done with them now.

One thing SK really drilled home for me is my appetite for these high octane single player games is decreasing every so steadily.

The game is good enough that I look forward to playing it, but I can confidently say "it's not my thing".

So far I also find it more forgiving than HK as well. It might be because I spent like 3h bashing my head against Beastfly, and made everything feel easy in comparison.

Expecting this to change once I progress more.

I didn't love HK, but I got Silksong purely from hype. Despite not being a fan of metroidvanias or "gitgud" games, it has strung me (ha) along so far.

Somehow, I find SK more linear than HK, and telegraphs where you need to go pretty clearly (still in act 1).

I got a dog and sometimes when I walk her and run into another dog owner, I think to myself if we're in Pokemon, we'd be making our dogs fight on sight until one of them needs to go to the vet.

I feel it for players getting cut in general.

Imagine being good enough at your job to get the chance to find out you're actually *not quite good enough* to hang with the undisputed best. And then getting fired.

them's the breaks.

Everyone is rightfully concerned about AI taking their jobs. But there's always that one coworker you wish AI would've taken their job yesterday.

I've been drafting out these mad scientist diagrams trying to find safe lines and stuff. It's fun in spurts but I've been prepping E4 for days now, and I'm starting to get tired.

It shouldn't be this hard, given how I'm playing with no restrictions.
