I win. FIRST POST ON P2K LET'S GOOOOOO
-
I just had an interview for a job at Costco. It took a lot less time than I thought it would, and now idk what to do with my day.
So I made the sensible decision and drove to Barnes and Noble.

Hullo! Being as vague as possible for the sake of privacy. There is a person in my life who often needs distractions from their own mind, and they almost always come to me for that. I don't mind, that's not the issue. The issue is that I don't know how to distract people. I've lived my whole life trying to make sure I'm not bothering people, and that is impacting my relationship with this person because I don't know how to just keep talking. It's also almost always over text that I need to do this, and I'm even worse at 'just talking' over text than I am in person. -
I had a spare N95 ventilator mask from deck work today, so I tried to use that and my airsoft gear to put together a The Division (online looter-shooter I used to play) cosplay.
It did NOT work. The kind of mask I'm using absolutely failed to capture the same vibe as the respirator that my character wore.
I'll try again once I have a respirator that looks about the same as the one I had in the game.

Nah. Dark Souls is just a frustrating game. In a good way, though. (And now I've won again)

I don't play Dark Souls because I love the game. I play Dark Souls to prove to myself I am better than these bloody snake-men in Sen's Fortress that keep stomping me.

Certified Gay Disasters

My gender? No. Not once. My sexuality? A little, yeah. But at this point in my life, I am very much a straight man. -
Attention writers! (@Kajsa, @Edema Rue, @Thaidakar the Ghostblood)
I have found a magazine that I am, for their November issue, going to a submit a short story to.
https://www.silversunbooks.com/
Their rules for writers can be found here and their rules for illustrators can be found here.
Over the next few months I'll be brainstorming and then writing my submission, and I'll post all of how it goes in my SUs. At the moment, I'm thinking about writing from the POV of a ghost in a ruin, quietly watching one or more people explore it.

@Edema Rue can you not submit if you’re a minor?

The Reputation Points Problem
The cheeseman replied to Thaidakar the Ghostblood's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
I, for one, agree with you. Which is why I am not repping the OP. In addition, I would like to call out the two people (at the time of posting) who have repped the OP. You, whoever you may be, are engaging with the Shard in exactly the way Thaid says is an issue. You are acknowledging the existence of his post, and, seemingly, agreeing with it. But instead of engaging with it in any meaningful way, you are simply pressing a button and continuing on to surf the interwebs. Post, reply, engage. Don't just rep. -
Opinion of the day #34: It's weird when people, even streamers, use the term "chat" in reference to the other people they're engaging with, even if it literally is their Twitch/YT/whatever platform text chat. It just rubs me the wrong way.

Booted up Witcher 2 for the first time in a few months last night. Accidentally started a bunch of side quests and somehow won a bunch of money. I still don't know if I'll be able to beat the kayran. That fight is somehow harder than Dark Souls boss fights.

Opinion of the day #33: Sanderson is... kinda overrated. Yeah, he's great at worldbuilding, magic systems, and his characters are great, but everything else is just okay. His prose is, to me, bland, and every book follows the same format of lots of build-up BIG CLIMAX resolution. I understand that that's kind of the standard for writing, but it's the exact same thing every single time. In SA, for example, there's not four of little climaxes building up to an enormous climax in book 5, but four big climaxes that I think will dilute the impact of the end of book 5. In addition, his books tend to be meandering and a bit convoluted to the point that sometimes when I think that I've cracked a puzzle, I haven't even when I should have. "There's always another secret," yeah but I want to know everything about a world, and repeatedly throwing mystery boxes inside mystery boxes in my face gets frustrating.
All of that is not to say that Sanderson is a terrible writer. It's just that there are better writers. The reasons above are also why I don't read one Sanderson book after the other until I'm done with them.
(Don't kill me please I need to finish my book)

NOOOO I LOOOOOST AGAIN. The unintelligible screaming in death metal is oddly funny to me. Idk why. Seeing good morning texts from my girlfriend. The theme song from Game of Thrones. Getting a new idea for a chapter title. The most recent one is "On Burning Stars Enthroned." No clue when or even if I'm going to be using that, but it sounds super cool. Walking arm-in-arm with my girlfriend. Playing my bass.

I should probably get to sleep now…

I worked out for the first time in a while, and I feel great! I should do this more often…
Oh and here's the rifle I got, hanging on my wall above a Japanese rifle made during WWII.

I went to the Ren Faire again today. Saw some buhurt, which was super cool.

Here's a video of it.

Is it just me, or did the Shard's UI change again? Just a little bit.

You know, maybe parents are on to something when they tell you not to stay up late. I didn't get into bed until like 0:40, and I am exhausted.
I desperately need to fix my sleep schedule.
(why won’t the emojis show up gosh darn it)
