I made myself a bee weapon set with a bee sword and a bee shield in TOTK and tried it out on a black bokoblin camp with an aerocuda and oh my god i think i invented a whole new war crime.

Every time i swung my sword: bees. Every time my shield was struck: bees. Bees. Bees everywhere, biting everyone. Monsters falling dead from the sky from bees. Monsters flying off platforms to land on the ground with ANGRY, ANGRY bees following their parabola in perfect unison. Bees. BEEEEEEES

Paramount+ has some pretty decent stuff on it, but holy shit, do I hate not only its UI, but that some shows don't have subtitles even though it does. I was watching Catfish on Stan but it's not there anymore so decided to watch on Paramount+ and just... no subtitles.

(Also to preface, I'm hard of hearing, it's why I need subtitles, not that I have to defend myself but sometimes I do).

Watching my place in the queue for a telehealth appointment on the HotDoc app go from 4th to 5th... who cut in line?!? Also I'm not entirely sure what the point of an appointment is when it's clearly going to be 30+ minutes later. Just give an hour window slot or something.

Update: it still said I was 5th in line when the doctor called me, only 15 minutes after my appointment time.

Does anyone else find it somewhat insane that new drivers license is sent in the mail? It's got your photo, your DOB, your signature and your address on it. Not to mention the license itself is a form of ID?

I forgot to buy pasta sauce and an onion yesterday.

I'm going out now.

If I do not return find me in the wind.

edit: headphones are the best earmuffs

Good morning everyone! Day 25 of exercises and day 9 of tummy exercises completed. Also still off the alcohol. Foot is hurting a bit this morning, luckily I've got a sit down job for much of today. I probably aggravated it yesterday when I crawled under our big freestanding pizza oven whilst cleaning it and squatted heaps while cleaning and polishing the lower parts of the cooling racks and surrounding equipment. It's a grotty job but one I like doing because it's so satisfying at the end when it's so shiny you need sunglasses to look at it!

Don't get blown away people, it's wimdy out there!

Could the media STFU about the Commonwealth games? The average person really doesn't care that much and certainly don't share the outrage.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd personally forgotten, victoria had even won the right to host the games until this happened. Andrews was damned either way. If he'd allowed it to go over budget the media would have criticised him for wastefully spending amid the cost of living crisis.

Dinner is half way made. The rice with fruit and nuts is in the cooker. Mix for shemmy kebabs is made, just have to cook them. Might steam some vegies. Also have pumpkin soup ready made for starters.

It's much warmer inside the train than it is outside the train

Risotto was absolutely delicious. I normally add ham/bacon or diced chicken, this time I used some chicken mince. Plus mushrooms, pumpkin, dried tomatoes. Finished with a small amount of cream, parsley and parmesan. Tasted absolutely amazing.
