Watched the first episode with some trepidation that it wouldn’t hold up and … it holds up. Haven’t laughed that much in quite some time. Now, some of it is dated, but it’s hilarious.

Notice the difference?

Someone prove to me that @nytimes.com is not using AI for their recipes text now. WTF is “grounding” with regard to a recipe and what kind of wording is this? Almost but not quite human, is how I read it.

Finally something to celebrate on July 4th.

Last stream before the (at one time laudable) 4th of July! Come join us in 15 - 20 minutes on Twitch for #Spelunky2! twitch.tv/crunchewy

I have an iOS/iPadOS/macOS “Shortcut” I wrote that gives you results like this when posted to Discord. It is dependent on having emoji for the characters, so requires some effort to use ideally, as well as the ability to add the emoji or use them from another server (with
Nitro).

I was this close from getting to Hundun with the bow and arrow of light. Just had to walk through the door and…. You miss the expletive that followed. And then I dispatched with Hundun pretty easily. Because of course I did. Pure pain.

And speaking of Spelunky 2 and hundreds of hours of entertainment… 101 hours later (on the PS5 version - I have many hundreds on the PS4 version), finally achieved this again. Still a lot left to accomplish.

The PS5 version is glorious! At first I was bummed that my save didn’t transfer, but then it got me super into it all over again. 101 hours later I finally managed this again. Now have all characters. Still plenty left to achieve. Amazing game and that’s an amazing price!

Language alert! From last night. Never has an accidental slight block push mattered so much.

I’m getting a nasty habit of escaping at lunch to the best coffee/espresso shop in the area, Vigilante Coffee. Like every work day. It is adding up.

Also, this may be the best thing I have ever received in the mail. So worth it.

Don’t like to be an ass at concerts, so just took this very brief clip of Baltimore punk band Meth Rates melting the outlets at PinBaltimore

I like Chipotle, but why do they always ignore the state of this checkbox??

I like how the PS App won’t let me buy a game because I downloaded the demo. I switch to the version in the store that has a price, but all I can do is download or play, not buy.
