I 100%'d Lies of P on GamePass, and then I bought it on ps5 and 100%'d it.

Then I bought the DLC, 100%'d that, played it a few more times, and maxed out every stat (and most weapons).

And then I started over on a new profile because I got too op (as shown here 👇), soooo......

$20 billion would literally solve homelessness in this country, yet this is how we spend our money.

Homeless people are dying in this country right now.

Never forget: poverty is a policy choice, and it's the sort of violence that too many of you are way too comfortable with.

I can think of at least two things wrong with that title.

Btw have I ever mentioned how much I want to own a harp guitar?

Because it's a lot

Weird Guitar of the Day @weirdguita.rs · 3d

House of Stathopoulo harp guitar

This is a harp guitar that was built by the House Of Stathopoulo sometime in the early 1920s. The House was a luthier shop started by Anastasios Stathopoulo in 1903 and run by his eldest son Epaminondas (Epi) after his death in 1917.

This harp guitar has six regular strings on a fretted neck and six bass strings floating above it. It's got a really deep cutaway and a heart-shaped soundhole on the fretted neck side. The headstocks are mirrored 6-in-line designs.

There's still a link to the House of Stathopoulo today. Shortly after taking over the company, Epi changed its name to Epiphone.

Anyway, now I'm jonesing for some baseball!

jp @jpesq.bsky.social · 1d

Welp.

There was a lot to like right up until the last part, so this game is probably going to be a good learning experience.

Maybe some good might come out of this down the road? #giants

jp @jpesq.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah looks that way

Oh right, the game is on CBS. Of course the football broadcaster talked about the network's interview with Jared Kushner.

It's still the middle of October, and it was 81° today. Everyone was walking around in shorts. In New Jersey. In OCTOBER.

Can we PLEASE at least get through Halloween before you start showing me some god damn Christmas commercial?

What's the modern/politically correct version to say "Indian summer" to describe this October heatwave New Jersey is experiencing?
