Have some things?

Here is a 30 minute compilation of acoustics from the Mahogany Sessions channel, which I found to be really beautiful.

I'm almost caught up with Critical Role -- up to episode 77 and as always it is dragging me across a wide landscape of emotions from stunned amusement to bitter loneliness, and much in between. How do they do it

The Last of Us 2 release date trailer! They finally showed us Joel, and they really came for me personally with that entrance, damn. I haven't decided yet if I want to preorder, or wait until I've watched it on youtube first and then decide if I want to get it. The last thing I want is another game that's too tough/frustrating/scary to finish…

Speaking of games, I'm playing God of War -- really slowly, because catching up with Critical Role is a big time sink -- and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm also tempted to replay FF15 yet again so I might find a couple of days to do that. Me: I think I've hit my limit for frustrations from this game, maybe just concentrate on some endgame content and move on to other games. Also me, a couple of months later: You know what we should replay…?

Boris Johnson lied to the Queen so that means she gets to chop off his head, right? Please say yes.

It's nearly the end of this quarter and the start of the last one for the year, so I've been… frantically looking for things that might help me plan the next one better. I tend to end up with more abstract theories than I need, rather than the concrete tools I'm after, but I found this video about means-goals vs ends-goals (three and a half minutes long) to be kind of enlightening.

Speaking of making plans, I stole some formulae from various sources on the internet to make a gantt chart for next quarter that uses conditional formatting to automatically highlight your planned and actual dates. I made an example sheet if you want to have a look and/or copy it to your own google drive to play around with.

I've also sent my name to Mars so that's pretty cool.

Those really are some amazing graphics in the TLoU2 trailer! Ahh, the suffering you shall have. :')

I'm so glad you're on track to remove all the world's corrupt politicians by mid-October, Salma. Does that mean you have inside knowledge on the Boris Johnson beheading question you aren't sharing with us?

I'm safe for five months at least (^_^;) Five terrible, long months...

BJ hasn't apologised for that, of course. At least Parliament is in session again, I figure that has to be a plus.

Apologise?! He's have to have a modicum of conscience first...

Hi! Sorry for swinging in and subscribing out of nowhere; I was searching Dreamwidth to see whether anyone was talking about The Last of Us (I should make an entry about the release date announcement myself), and then I found that you were also looking forward to the Final Fantasy VII remake, and then I read and enjoyed your thoughts on Final Fantasy VIII, game of my heart. Plus you know enemyofperfect, which is definitely a good sign. I'm Riona; it's good to meet you!

(Oh, hey, and you're loveandthetruth on AO3! We've briefly crossed paths there; you left a nice comment on one of my Until Dawn fics.)

Oh, hello! Welcome! Please make yourself at home! I confess, I have peeked on your dreamwidth before, by way of E's, so I'm glad you said hello, because I've been a horribly shy monster!

(And you write such amazing Mike/Sam, or Mike anyone tbh... Damn, I suddenly want to play the game again just thinking about it...)
