| little [redacted] ants
the house i'm in was built in the 40s or 50s. a conventional, raised foundation of about one or two feet. beyond a small wooden door panel with a latch, it's exposed to the outside. all manners of bugs and creatures lie in wait. there's no amount of money in the universe that could convince me to go under there.
at some point in the home's past, it was renovated clearly by a DIY guy. there are places where cabinets should meet the wall seamlessly, and be sealed, but they do not. gaps big enough for la creaturas of the night to sneak in.
the foundation is super fucked up too. during hurricane katrina, a tree fell onto the roof, shifting the entire house. there are large cracks and buckles in the drywall. not enough to break fully, but large enough to see. warpy subfloor sections.
all of this to say, the current kitchen was added as a diy afterthought. there are places which are exposed to the dirty underbelly.
i bought a large cream cheese danish from a bakery last week and was able to eat one single section. the next day ants invaded. didn't figure out what they were coming for until the workers had taken a good bit of it back to the pile. got rid of my fuckin danish and they disappeared a day or two later. still get a straggler here and there, but absolutely nothing like it was - a straight line of ants from an uncaulked windowsill and the cabinet.
if someone were to purchase the place, it would be in their best interest to raze and start over.
you can get borax at a dollar tree.

| also, today is star wars day
it's not even noon and twitter/x is filling up
the last good disney SW was rogue one (2016) and it's not even close. "BUT MUH MANDALORIAN!" first season, possibly. everything after? how does the main character of a show become a side quest? see also: boba fett.
And I managed to get banned 20 times already, new one day record. I love dumb people who leave wifi open with dumb passwords and I'm able to cycle the modem as well.
Never going to stop.

| people gotta fuckin relax
not purchasing a game due to wild drm (denuvo, etc) or dei/sweet baby mumbo jumbo are both valid reasons that you don't need to explain to anyone.
buy whatever you want; complain about whatever you want.

the "culture war" junk that has popped up over marathon, in particular, is reaching an extremely overzealous, extremely unhealthy ragebait degree.
personally, i don't care at all about any of that. i just want a game which is fun first and foremost. everything else comes secondary.
