PAX for me! Anyone going, too?
I wish! Been every other year, but couldn't afford it this time :(
Are you more interested in the video games? Or the board games? Dice?
I always loved the miniature painting and the team games with the motion controllers they do. And trying out all the board games and card games they have. I also like going to the talks they do, some are so so interesting. And then all the cosplay, people put so much effort, time and love into making amazing displays, and I am just in awe everytime I see them.

Had a convo with a couple of colleagues the other day about dark mode. They dont understand how I can work with it. I dont understand how you can use all white in office or outlook and that NOT hurt your eyes? so DT, what do you use? I'm dark mode all the way. Windows, Office apps, even my phone.
Dark mode all the way. Your colleagues are weird.
Dark mode, no argument. The only correct answer is dark mode. It's easier to see, write, and read, and doesn't give me a headache.
Normal/light mode, I can literally feel my eyes strain and ache, my retina blasted away by the searing white light.
Edit: just realised light mode is the same feeling I get when I'm reading a book, and the sunlight hits the page just right so it glows, but you're too comfy to move and try to read through it... And go blind
Dark mode and night mode. So much better for my eyes.

The zucchini seeds are already sprouting⦠that was fast. Not all have started but a fair few have - one is even way ahead of the others and has its first set of leaves
Have made a Dr appointment for tomorrow. I've got these weird things which came up on my arms in a few spots in the past couple of weeks. Thought they were ringworm or similar fungal thing, was treating them with OTC topical cream. Was wondering how TF I got it. But the cream didn't work and they've flared up hugely as a result of my treatment π³βΉοΈ The same thing happened with my feet a couple of years ago; I thought it was tinea, treated it accordingly and the whole situation got instantly massively worse and it turned out to be eczema.
His lordship's had a massive eczema flare as well and he's usually not prone. Must be something in the air
Ikr I've never had eczema until the foot thing, and then not at all since.
He's prone to psoriasis sometimes, but this is definitely eczema (my sister is allergic to bloody everything and has been her entire life, i'm welllllllllll acquainted with that shit). I suspect it may be because he's living in ducted heating for the first time in 16 years.

No presents, sunshine or shopping today?
Or nothing but presents, sunshine and shopping today? I choose that option.

TGIF. Not much to do today except make some tutorials out of some meetings I had last week.
Then dinner with a friend, getting some new glasses (finally) and maybe an amp to make my current setup stereo instead of just mono.
Enjoy your day everyone β€οΈ

Well plans changed with my having to help family with their stuff and also with me making a stuff up so I ended up not having much to spend on myself in the end.
I've limited myself to a coffee so far.
The cafe I'm sitting at wanted 15 dollars for a chicken schnitzel roll with a layer of lettuce, 3 slices of tomato and it didn't look too big.
Maybe I'm just being too critical.
