*nervous neurodivergent noises*
Our older car is not working and we've decided to replace it. We know the dealership and have a salesman's business card and know what we want and what our hard points are in terms of price, monthly payment, etc
But I have to call them and figure out a tow

Shadowbringers MSQ in the books
That was an intense last dungeon and wrap up of the story, especially derusting (even after just a few weeks of not playing)
Patch quests up next, then getting into Endwalker

I think one of the things I want to do this year is learn the midair shell jump in Super Mario World
Another is to get my SMW 11-exit overall run consistently deathless. Not fast, not perfect, just without back tracking to get another cape more often than not

GDQ/MAGFest season always get me feeling inspired and oddly demotivated at the same time
Get back to streaming (maybe do a pngtuber kind of thing for fun)
Play/make/write some more music
Practice speed running something again/get involved with some races
Then the big question "with what time?"

Uh oh - looks like AWS DynamoDB had a service interruption this morning
Can't wait to see what apps at work all went down - the Teams notifications I'm hearing ping before 7am is probably an indicator of how the day will be

Bored yesterday for a bit and decided that to play around with gpose and look up some stuff about lighting
Colorblindness might make these look not great, and I've got to figure out some overall brightness paired with lighting and tones
But still - here's Faye

In town for Banana Ball, and very excited for that
But holy hell do I miss Otakon and Otakon in Baltimore
Feels like I should be seeing cosplay everywhere and wondering which of the convention friends we're going to see and planning out what panels and shows we're going

Today is a hard and wonderful day
I love our boys and, gender identity stuff aside, fathers day is a day to celebrate our family and it'll be a good day
Good friends of ours are coming home from the hospital today with their first kid and everything is happy and healthy

On one hand - work chaos means that I've got some ability to just focus on a back burner project and really just sink into it
On the other - work's been chaotic and plans that I had been setting up and getting ready to execute on for about a year are now absolutely out the window

Some good friends got married over the weekend. Wonderful ceremony and reception, very fitting for them
It was kid-free so the boys stayed home and wife and I really got to let loose and it was one of the most fun nights in a long time
