Achievement unlocked yesterday: First 20-mile (32km) ride... EVER! Got to feast my eyes on beautiful orchards and farmland, Bear Creek, and Black Rascal creek.

This ride felt like tangible proof that my decision to ditch alcohol and eat healthier (more cooking from scratch, less ultra processed foods) is paying off.

Life is good.

@nfilipes Thanks for the encouragement! And yea, we have to allow ourselves the occasional guilty pleasure.

Speaking of energy, YES. The last few years I had been taking afternoon naps probably 3 or 4 times per week. Now I’m bursting with energy all day, even if I get a bit less sleep than usual. I love it!

@lashman I am ridiculously excited for this, especially after seeing the Spread gun in all its glory.

Break's over. The music is calling, so it’s time to get back to work. This is a song-in-progress called “Fool Me Once.”

@ProfessorCode I’m glad you’re picking up that vibe! 🤘

Getting back on the bike before the weather hits triple digits in the Central Valley. I rode over to Lake Yosemite, ate lunch at the waterfront, and reflected on life. Today is a good day.

It's starting to look like I will no longer be employed over the next couple of weeks. I would love to find something in WordPress, Linux, Open Source, Security, etc. Junior roles are okay. Like I mentioned a week or two back, I just want to get back into some work that makes me happy. My current role is stressful, pays terribly, and with the possibility of losing it over the next couple of weeks, my anxiety is going through the roof. Thanks for any help you give. ❤️

Helldivers 2 is the perfect model for a live-service game. The progression is brisk -- you can unlock multiple rewards after almost every session -- the cosmetics and premium battle passes can be earned quickly just by playing, and it definitely doesn't hurt that the game itself is an absolute blast.

If you haven't checked it out, is basically a 3rd person Left 4 Dead meets Halo with a Starship Troopers vibe.

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY THE OBJECTIVE!

I absolutely love it.

@jnv If you love Halo — and especially love Firefight mode — I think you’ll really enjoy this.

@svenjacobs @EccTM @ProfessorCode That's nice to see. Now, I hope the 10s of 1000s of people who rallied together to review bomb the game update their scores so more people jump in.

I'm going to start a website that answers the question posed by the headline in the very first goddamn sentence. That's it. That's the content.

I’ve been playing and enjoying games like Virtua Tennis 4 for more than a decade, and these jokers want to come along and say “we’re absolutely shutting down your SINGLE PLAYER game in two years.”

@s31bz explain?

@ReverseModule I hear this. Especially regarding the preservation aspect. As far as the greed, and the live service crap: Publishers can learn something from gaming’s history; otherwise the industry is headed for another crash.

I wish games like Witcher 3 and BG3 would become the high watermark of how to properly do things.

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@s31bz I kinda wish I could overhear that rant. I’d probably pump my fists in agreement.

My new life goal is to have a 20+ acre homestead by the time I'm 50. A forever home. Somewhere semi-remote and surrounded by forest. Less people and more animals. Less technology. Less preservatives and toxins. Less noise. Less light pollution. Less reliance on anyone but myself and the land.

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@necrophcodr Well, I’m 48 now… and I don’t plan on being dead by 60!

@albonycal Do you find 3 acres enough for your personal needs/sustainability?

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@albonycal Ah, so you don’t live there as your main residence? I understand.

killyourfm,
@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@necrophcodr HAHA, I’m happy you clarified that. And I’ll take it as an indirect complement ;-)

You’re absolutely right though! And I wish I would have opened my mind to this lifestyle two decades ago — but I was young and stupid.

My debut EP is FINALLY ready for your ears! It's an emotional, melodic journey through love, loss, and personal demons, but wrapped in a catchy, cathartic rock & roll package.

I think you're gonna love it!

It's available at 10 days ahead of streaming platforms, and each $4 purchase also bundles in the original demos of each song. Turn it up, sing along, and rock out!

@s31bz You can’t know how much I appreciate hearing this at this particular moment in time.
