Listening to Dopesmoker is antithetical to any kind of speedrun, I think.
I should pick Silskong back up. Stuck in the Karak Sands area.
About to 5 since I'm pulling an April's fools joke on my student. Suckerssss!
It looks nice, but it's still generations behind in terms of what a studio that big and with that much money should be able to do in such a long development time. I'd rather have them keep it small and simple but improve on a lot of QoL stuff than try fancy things that are prone to break and be forgotten easily.
To be fair, that sounds like a secondary title for most of the books I love. I might have a problem.
Playing Silksong. Knee-deep in act 2, or at least I think I am. I'm starting to see a lot of similarities between this game and Bloodborne (Team Cherry have never been afraid of saying how much they love FromSoft games, isn't it?)
As a teacher in a school that has been quite aggressively pushing AI down our curriculum, I have to close an eye in regard to it when it comes to a simple factor of education as a work environment: bureaucracy. Gemini has so far been a lifesaver in checking the accuracy of forms, producing standardized and highly-readable versions of tests and texts, assessment grids and all of the menial shit that is required for us to produce (and which detracts a substantial amount of time from the core of the job, which would be working with the kids).
My reading goal for now is being able to go through Lord of the Rings once again with a newborn daughter on my hands, ahahahahah. I think this will be a year when quantity is going to count less.
Pynchon. Surreal, paranoid, extremely zany and hazy. Start with Inherent Vice or Lot 49.
Half-Life had quite the array of big-beat inspired pieces.
30 min~ before going to bed. The work + toddler combo is quite exhausting and doesn't leave much room for anything else.
