I uninstalled Just Cause, Black Flag, and X-Morph, and started installing Far Cry 5... Yeah, yeah, I know, the story ending sux. Far Cry New Dawn had some issues with the story as well, especially in later parts. I am here for the gameplay, really.
Uh, why am I naked? Am I installing Far Cry Primal instead of 5?
Huh. Apparently I haven't uninstalled X-Morph... Ah, well, it can stay around a little while longer.

Just gotta get through this weekend, and then I can relax.
Finally figured out affordable gifts to send to my mom and sister and niece, put WW in charge of his mom and sister, and we decided not to go overboard on our own kids because everyone else in the family is spoiling them rotten.
Finally got the permanent crown put on the first tooth yesterday after three frakking weeks, starting the second tooth the Monday after Christmas. It will be nice to not hurt any more. I still can't get the implant for the missing tooth for a while, but it's been missing for ten years, so I can wait a little longer. It doesn't bother me and it's not like it's one that shows.
My boss gave me a couple of extra days to finish prepping my kits to send home for my students for the final week of home learning. I've just got a bunch of cutting/assembly in baggies to do, and I'll drop it off Sunday. It's stupid that our due date was yesterday when the parents aren't picking the bags up until January 4th, but the boss wanted to make sure nothing fell through the cracks over vacation.
And there's other stuff. Getting cards mailed to my students. Dropping package off to mail to Oregon. Grocery shopping. Whatever.
And I promised Hermione we could bake cookies.

So, this year the grocery store that used to sell trees doesn't because the tree farmer passed away, and as we were going to get a tree somewhere else our car had engine issues which i was able to get fixed after the weekend but unfortunately that meant every single tree was sold before we could get one so this year we're without a Christmas tree so I guess we'll have to build a Christmas effigy either in the corner or outside.
I trust Croockshanks and Tiny T-rex to make the effigy way more disturbing then it needs to be.

But will they then dress themselves in hide loincloths, daub themselves with mud, and dance around it chanting while shaking homemade spears?

Depends if the effigy is inside our outside.

Grrr. I try SO HARD to be polite and kind to CS people, but I've just spent the last hour online with the dumbest effing Amazon rep in the world, and polite is getting very difficult.
This after I had to deal with the Bad Janets who make up the CS team at GothBard's company earlier this week. ("Yeah, we get you have a problem, that's a known issue, we just don't care.")

It gets pretty weird. Minnesota gets goofy in the winter, Wisconsin gets weird. Who knows what happens to Iowa, no one goes there.

If it's one thing I've learned this week is it's probably just vodka flavored with rotten eggs used to marinate Rocky Mountain Oysters for the winter.I love to try seasonal brews, and even I wouldn't taste that one.I used to get Facebook adverts for online Hebrew courses and 'tactical self-defence'; now I get Facebook adverts for what actually look like quite interesting books, and beer, which should tell me something.
One of the ones I saw was advertising a spiced eggnog marshmallow white porter, with a Star Wars theme. I seriously cannot comprehend why anyone would want to make such a thing, let alone drink it. Good grief.
CH ruins everything.

F#+@ing A right it's quiet, you're not going to drive the mongol hordes out of Japan by calmly walking into the middle of every town and challenging them to a duel and then rampaging the rest.

Of course there WAS that one camp where I assassinated everyone except one guy before signaling the Straw Hat Men.
1920s Jolly Boys in boaters and blazers would be enough to put the fear of Heck into anybody.

It's really hard for me to play Cyberpunk 2077 because every time the police scanner tells me there is an assault or other criminal activity in the area I get out of my car to stop it instead of working on whatever quest I have.
I know I COULD ignore it and just do my quest but if I don't stop these crimes who will?
(and yes, they are randomly generated and infinitely repopulating)

Can't you just wait ten seconds for them to glitch out or start flashing some dong.

Is this a joke my computer is too nice for me to understand? xD
There have been a couple funny times like someone trying to push a gun into my brain. Spoiler warning on that image though.
I for one have an ambitious video game plan for the winter, try playing some of the games I've gotten in the last year.
Ghost of Tsushima
Days Gone
Final Fantasy 7 Remake (the first third)
Maneater
Horizon Zero Dawn
Assassin's Creed Origins
Fallout 4 (I still haven't gotten very far in it)
The Outer Worlds
Kingmaker.
I won't finish all of them obviously, but if I finish one I'll be happy (honestly if I don't finish any of them I'll be just as happy, they're mostly there to combat the winter doldrums).
So far I'm pretty far in Days Gone, which is a ton of fun.
Ghost of Tsushima is probably my favorite of the bunch.
I also forgot I haven't gotten very far in GTA 5.

I don’t find the random crimes that interesting, so I ignore most of them. Somebody else’s problem. (Actual side quests are another matter.)

I'm pretty sure that most of it went over my head, but big cosmological questions sure are fun. Didn't know there are two competing models of the universe's expansion -- I still don't even understand how there's no center of the universe.

Just in case that wasn't sarcasm...there's a "crotch glitch".
I want to start again too but I need a better computer.
Have you every played? eh actually you don't seem like the type that enjoys social gaming. (TTRPGs excluded of course.)

Back when I bought my house, I was doing some furniture shopping. The salesman at one of the stores showed me a large sofa and said "Look at this. It can seat five people with no problem!" I turned to him and said "Look at me. Where the f!+@ am I going to find five people with no problems?!"
Yeah, last time I went furniture shopping, I asked the salesman, "How many loads of laundry can this hold?"
He said, "Ma'am, this is a dining room table."Me: "Your point being?"

Wow was fun for me but thinking back a lot of the fun came from playing with my guild who became my friends. I will say though their was a point I was like top druid (for like 1 1/2 days) on my server toping the charts for damage WHILE tanking doing things I shouldn't of been able to do and creating awe in complete strangers. That was real fun. not an everyday occurrence in fact in the 6 years I played it happened once and then a few lesser occurrence but it was a trip.

That took me a second then I remembered how many loads of laundry my guest room bed can hold.

I thought the dick slip glitch was widespread and commonly known. There is also the glitch where people get stuck in the floor or wall after you kill them. And also the glitch where police officers will suddenly appear in the wall and start shooting at you.

The black gaming table we got at IKEA holds 4 loads when unextended, 8 when extended.

My question is WTF were all those people doing at a mall during an "only essential workers should leave their homes at all" lockdown in the county?
They're at 6% ICU capacity, people! WHY ARE YOU SHOPPING IN PERSON!?!?!?!

Aiymi and I haven't gotten past the argument of "How big is 1 load?"

The question is kinda moot for me, as I've got many loads to do, regardless of how big any one of them is.

Ugh. Dealing with the first boss in Far Cry 5, and the immediate aftermath of defeating him was very tedious... It's probably some kind of Far Cry standard that scripted missions are much worse than the open world parts of the game.
Its hot out.
