Finally! It only took me two and a half hours of non-stop fishing!

I caught a Coelacanth!

I do NOT remember the rate of rare fish appearing being this abyismal in New Leaf.

Either way, here's more pics of me fishing around my island.

The added HDR and framerate do look very nice on my monitor.

There doesn't seem to be any changes to tool durability or added villager duologue, so I'm still unlikely to play it as much as I did New Leaf. However, this is a step in the right direction.

So I gave up and tried the Switch 2 Edition for New Horizons.

The main differences I can find are that it runs and looks a lot better than on the Switch 1.

Game and island boot up times are still horribly long, but once you get in load times seem to be down to nothing. Which is good.

A fellow Fedora user! Wecome to the dark side!

Spending the morning listening to T-Square because I can. Maybe I'll move onto listening to Casiopea later.

It's nice to have a slow morning.

Okay, but a Mythbusters episode would be great.

Uhh, what?

Obama bombed the Libya into a civil war that lasts to this day? Much like Trump and Isreal hope to do in Iran right now?

Also, didn't Clinton oversee U.S. involvement in the Yugoslav Wars?

Wars over the past 50 years have been non-partisan. Dems have been just as happy as repubs.

Current Events (tm) are driving me insane, so I'm going to go distract myself by looking at stuff I could buy later this month or the next.

Maybe I'll buy a TMR keyboard. That sounds like I thing I could do.

New Pokemon game has been announced, and it doesn't look that terrible. I will stay cautiously optimistic until more news comes out about it.

At least it looks to be running at 60 FPS.

It doesn't look good for that company no matter how you split it, which is why I'm making fun of them in my original post. *Shrug*

Capital Audiobook on Libro.fm This audiobook narrated by Simon Vance presents a major new translation of the explosive book that transformed our world Karl Marx (1818–1883) was living in exile in England when he embarked on an am...

The longest book in the set, Volume 1, is ~20 bucks from other publishers and you can use credits.

I'd pay 50 dollars at most, and even then that is arguably to much.

Only true capitalists could have the gall to try and charge 200 dollars for Karl Marx's Capital in audiobook format.

There's free and public domain recordings online. Multible even. lmao

Looks like an unchanged re-release of FR/LG. Who's this supposed to appeal to when vanilla+ romhacks of Gen1 have gotten so much better?

I certainly wouldn't accept paying however much Nintendo is charging when I could modify my existing Gen1 cart from 20 years ago and get more.

Okay?

Nintendo Music just updated with more Pokemon music. Why they decided on FR/LG is beyond anyone's guess I think.

Major problem though, you can't loop any of the tracks, making it a useless release compared to YT. Not even the trainer battle theme.

Hurray! My first time I've gotten an Assembly Shop tank in World of Tanks!

Here's to hoping that the match queue times are less nutty by tomorrow for it.

This JBL Extreme 4 will replace my very old UE Boom 2.

Got a new outdoor speaker yesterday. Now I'm enjoying a beautiful morning listening to music on it.

Olympic Biathlon should be done with WWII era anti tank rifles

I'm back to grinding in World of Tanks, and my current target is the Concept 5. I will say I'm really enjoying this line. The FSV with Turbo + Binoc is very fun.

Here's to hoping the rest of the line is this fun.

Sometimes you make great life choices, and sometimes your curiosity about history makes you get a crash course on the most insanely complicated political entity in history.

You know it's going to be a long audiobook when you are five parts in and the author is STILL explaining how governance worked in the Holy Roman Empire.

Very informitive book so far, even if I'm questioning my sanity.

Historically accurate chess (1300's).

Only men at arms, archers, and a whole lotta horses. Oh, and the royal family leading the charge for some unknowable reason.

Meteora

Listening to Linkin Park's Meteora in full for the first time and wow, this is much better than I expected.

I've been on a hard rock kick lately and this one fits well.

Do I regret buying it? Maybe. But not by much.

It's a lot closer to what I've wanted from a Nintendo console since the Wii U and Switch 1 were massive disapointments.

My thoughts on the Switch 2 after a month of using it are that's it's meh.

While it's very nice that it is stronger than the Switch 1, it doesn't yet have the library of it's own to support it. A lot of what I've been playing are Switch 1 games.
