Pretty rich of our team leader at work to wish us a happy Mayday after chewing many of us out for clocking out one minute too early last shift

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds 😂 Maybe we'll do that in the morning when we're all standing around the door waiting to clock out

We finally saw the Cybertruck in real life and, I have to say, I'm impressed! ...Somehow it's ugly even in the dark

I don't think I'd be sad if I never see the word "roguelike" again

My cat just woke up shrieking! She had me pretty worried... 😰 I think she had a bad dream - a few pets and kisses and she was right as rain ❤️

I think someone should invent castle music which is just like house music but it's played on like harpsichords and lutes and shit

I'm currently reading "The Master and Margarita" and I'm really digging it. I'm going to get a black cat and name them Behemoth

I'm not at home today, so I'm hanging out with my wife's family's cat. He's cute as a button! Now my wife wants another cat 😹

I haven't been drinking any beer lately, so I've been drinking ginger beer (and ale). I've been looking for one I like and, in the process, I've tried several different kinds. I thought I'd post my thoughts here. Microblogging at its finest

I'll start with a good one: I've really enjoyed this local-ish brand, Sioux City. It has a sweet start and a spicy finish. It manages to maintain a very well-struck balance between the two. I'll be getting this one again, for sure! 👍👍

"Barritts Bermuda Stone Ginger Beer"

Honestly, I'm not sure how much ginger is actually in this one... The best thing I can say about it is that it tastes like the brown Bottle Caps candies, and those are the worst ones. There's no kick to be found here. I'm definitely avoiding this one in the future if possible 👎

"Goslings Ginger Beer"

This is my current go-to. It's got decent flavor and decent spice. It doesn't hurt that it's readily available and somewhat affordable. It might not be as good as Sioux City, but it's still pretty good. Definitely worth a try. 7/10 ginger... roots? Cloves? Whatever 👍

"Favorite Day Fizzy Ginger Ale Soda", found at Target

Absolutely not. Far too sweet with no spice that I could detect. And... do I taste lime?! This isn't a freaking Moscow mule. I had no expectations and yet I was disappointed all the same 👎👎

"Golden Ginger Beer" by Rocky Mountain Soda Co., found at Whole Foods

This one took me by surprise a little bit. It's sweet and spicy (like a good ginger beer should be), but there's also an earthy, rooty flavor that I really enjoy. It reminds me of my grandma's house after she harvested her garden and started canning stuff. I'll definitely get this one again if I can. In fact, I may have found a new favorite 👍👍

"Ginger Beer" by Griffin, found at Menards

Not bad. I was hoping for more spice than it has. In fact, it's very, very sweet. It might be for somebody, but it's not for me. Still, it would work in a pinch if there was nothing else around 👍

@slanderoid@goblin.camp avatar

"Ginger Ale" by Canada Dry, found pretty much everywhere

The quotes around ginger ale above aren't meant to be sarcastic, but it works here. This is just Sprite in a fancy jacket. Is this some kind of elaborate practical joke? Anyway, it's bad. Not recommended for... well, anything really 👎👎

I'm still (STILL) sick but I'm finally starting to feel better. But, since I've had plenty of time on my hands, I decided to finally finish the Borderlands games so I can be up to speed for the probably awful movie coming out this year. A thread ⤵️

@slanderoid@goblin.camp avatar

I miss the long jump from The Pre-Sequel 😞 BUT, the wall climb, slide, and ground pound make the movement much better than the first two games!

I thought it was going to be boring going back to Pandora at the beginning of Borderlands 3... But, after all of that time spent on the moon, it's like a breath of fresh air 😌

The vehicles are fast travel points?! 😍

I don't remember the Discourse about Borderlands 3. Were people worked up about the amount of purple and gold items there are right at the beginning of the game?

Because, holy shit, almost everything in my pocket right now is purple

@slanderoid@goblin.camp avatar

Borderlands 3 be one of my favorite games to look at. It's freaking gorgeous! They were finally able to really nail the hand drawn/comic book aesthetic in this one

slanderoid,
@slanderoid@goblin.camp avatar

It has me hooked! The level design is great and the visual design is brilliant. I'm always excited to get to a new map and see what surprises are in store. Like right now, I'm exploring a crashed spaceship in the middle of the jungle while a teddy bear and the ship's AI have a lovers' quarrel. I'm having a blast! :party_parrot:

I found a gun that is also a Mastodon reference! (Mastodon the band, that is.) I think that's pretty neat :party_wurmple:

I finally finished Borderlands 3! 🥳 It was much better than I thought it would be... and much longer! I definitely got my money's worth with this one

I'll post my review of it on here sometime (along with the review for The Pre-Sequel). For now, here are some of my favorite screenshots from the game:
