They're like different types of getting hooked. Modern games make the gameplay loop so fluid you can just keep going. In old games you're stuck looking for that one thing you need to do to get to progress the game

I sent another care package to my friend. They have atypical pneumonia, I havenโ€™t been able to see them and Iโ€™m a bit worried.

Sorting Melbcatโ€™s stuff

Iโ€™ve returned Melbcatโ€™s unused meds to the vet because someone else can use them. There was an entire box of medication in there that hadnโ€™t been opened yet and the vet specifically asked for the return of the second bag of fluids if they didnโ€™t get used. (There may be a shortage.) Iโ€™m still deciding whether to wash and donate the Aerokat.

Still feeling absolutely shattered about losing her and am sleeping holding her urn at night the same way I used to hold her. It was so sudden which makes it really hard to accept. She was such a part of my life.

Black cat has returned

The black cat is back and was sulky about my disappearance. I caved and started patting him again so Iโ€™m back on the disinfection treadmill and fretting how to deal with it. Also finding dead birds which I hope was the heat spell and not himโ€ฆ one was a magpie and I hear a kookaburra I donโ€™t want to get eaten. All of this would be so much easier if this cat didnโ€™t have ringworm.

There is one neighbour I might talk to about if anyone owns him. I did give the vet a found poster and am waiting on a cheapie chip scanner to see if he even has a microchip so it would be safer to take him to the vet. If he does have a chip and an owner I could possibly abduct him into the vet for their collection. The hissing though. I wish these vets were authorised to contact owners directly rather than send them to the pound with a collection deadline.

Life is so fucking hard. Iโ€™m desperately trying to fix something in my godforsaken life and unshittify my surroundings by a tiny amount but everything feels so painful and pointless.

How long is a piece of string? I usually get 365 day plans with around 100gb of data for around $120. But I'm on wifi most places I go and tend to use about 20gb of mobile data annually. EDIT: I buy my phones outright, but you're asking about SIMs. If your kids go through the 100gb of data quickly, you can always buy another 365 sim, possibly with a larger data amount.

i get that sometimes

it's just echoes of people from the past who used to make me feel bad when I had good things going on my life

so hard to get past that feeling

I should be angry and tell them to go fuck themselves, ( in my mind ) I suppose,

and focus on the praise and kisses I get from mr seagoon

I figured a good way to read books is to take them with me on the train, ( audible is only good for me when I listen to fiction ), but for that I need a bigger bag. Totoro bag has been taken out of retirement ๐Ÿซ

Don't do what I did: get a job, upgrade phone to a pixel, lose job, be stuck with $100 monthly bills for 3 years.

I have a few months left on my contract, and am honestly highly considering doing what my partner did and just getting a "dumb" phone. My only gripe is Nokia isn't making dumb phones anymore, and my partner's Telstra one is a shitty piece of plastic.

I'm sorry I don't have any actual advice to give you lol

You'll love it, it's great! The best of both rogue-likes and town building/pop management.

Plus it's made by a Melbourne dev team, Massive Monster. I feel lucky I got to meet them at pax at a few years ago lol

I've downloaded Diablo II and have started leveling a necromancer. I called him Old Mate.

I still have a soft spot for DIII because that was my first Diablo game and I got the box as a gift from a Xmas casual job I was doing (bauble painting at Knox City lol). We we're right outside EB games, and my manager George bought it for me as my Xmas bonus. Fond memories ahhh

I'm loving DII, I've played before with my partner, but this is my solo run.

I've never played Majora's Mask, or many Zelda games at all really. I did play the DS one that was a train? Spirit train? And Breath of the Wild.

Do you emulate it?

I'm playing the recompiled version. People made a native PC version based on the Super Mario 64 source code leak from a few years back. It has improved framerate, widescreen support, and mods.

One great QOL improvement it comes with is your main masks and ocarina are mapped to the D-pad and you can skip the cutscene of putting the masks on. I think in the original they had to be part of your 3 item slots.

You can get it here, you still need a ROM file but they're easily acquirable if you need one:

https://github.com/Zelda64Recomp/Zelda64Recomp/releases/tag/v1.2.2

There's also recomp versions of Super Mario 64, Ocarina Of Time, Mariokart 64, and Banjo Kazooie that I know of. These recomp versions are the way to play these games now they exist.

ALDI might have some good prepaid and/or plan SIMs. They use the Telstra network so coverage is better than some of the other cheap options.
