    I was gonna make a joke that it's also an idea that's on so many street corners and coffee cups. However after googling I found out that it's a siren on the Starbucks logo and not a mermaid. My joke fails on both humour and fact.

    No lie, when I saw the ghosts in FF7: Remake or whatever ... I forced myself to finish the game and there's no way I'm likely to play any of the sequels.

    Also, like, this is just me but I got into PlayStation games fairly late. I got a PS5 and I played God of War 4 and was gobsmacked about how good that game played and looked. When I played FF7: Remake, the game itself looked amazing and a younger me would have loved seeing those graphics. However, I felt the cinematics and storyline were SO lackluster. I think after seeing God of War 4 cinematics, the FF7: Remake ones felt so dated ...

    Btw, I actually enjoyed FF15, I know it's like unfinished with drama and all that but I really did like playing that game.

    Some people say "hack yourself" ... create a TODO list in anyway you like. First thing on that list is to "create a list" and cross that off after you've listed some items.

    Keep the items small and doable. Going outside or watch a movie isn't a "big" item but it's worth on this list damnit!

    Don't be down on yourself for any reason about doing nothing on the list. If you are, recognize that you did that, forgive yourself for feeling that way and try again. Feel free to throw out items and put even simpler tasks on it, if you can.

    Doesn't work for everyone, but it does work for some.

    I've defended Chappelle a lot, seen him four times live in London UK. I've liked a lot of work and specials. However there's some stupid fascination with hurting trans people and I can't do it no more... Him bringing Musk onstage was a "fuck em" moment for me.

    I wrote a script that would log me into our AWS EKS stuff. I typically would have to copy these 7 lines and look up which cluster version I'd need. One of my lines just pulls all the clusters and I use fzf to select the cluster I wanted. Takes away all the pain and makes me feel smug. Love it.

    I've had weird issues with my keyboard not working in the first minute of booting. I tried all the grub stuff. I was using Ubuntu and Pop, and tried Arch all the same. I'm very impatient so this surprisingly is a deal breaker for me.

    I eventually used different ports on my mini PC for it work on boot.I know for most people that'd be the first thing they'd try, but like it'd work in Windows with no tinkering.

    I'm happy going back to Pop OS! now like this and I think I'd like to try Arch in the future again.

    Honestly though, I don't like Fallon, he annoys me. However, I've had friends that used to send me lots of clips of his like with Andy Samberg and him playing this quick guessing game and I was like, "meh, it's alright I guess". My friends also like James Corden so take from that what you will.
