I bought a gingerbread kit, sort of a family tradition... But talk about shrinkflation with the candies, huh? Literally the same number of candies in the package as there are on the photos of the box.

I did a test walk from the tip of cursed shore to LA, it takes around two hours on foot walking. I can only imagine how long the shiverpeaks will be! It'll be just like GW prophecies how it felt like we were stuck in there forever.

I was thinking in GW2 maybe doing a walk across all of Tyria. Not like a "run on foot" but the actual walking animation walking the intended paths.

The routing isn't that bad, I have 2 weeks off December and I'm sure it could be a fun project to just sight see all the landscapes we usually ignore.

Voltaire sits in his castle at the end of an absurdly long white table next to his butler. His grandson Kai dogs awkwardly at the furthest point away while not sitting directly across from him. Both eating a bowl of sadness soup. The room has blue walls, one window and literally nothing else but this absurdly long table.

I was rewatching beyblade and this scene with Kai and his comically evil grandpa made me burst out laughing.

This is exactly how I imagine the Jeff Bezos and Elon Musks of the world eat. Literally living in a castle massively rich at an absurdly long empty table with a bowl of sadness soup.

Sorry if you saw the last one. I thought I could do better, and I was much happier with the next try.

I figured out how to play Rush E on the piano in GW2! I'm particularly happy with how this turned out, though I'm sure I can go even faster with more practice!

What the world needs now is a a cheap-as-dirt console that plays indie games…

I suppose it might be hard now consumers are used to 720p on the handheld and the 3DS was originally only 240p. Expectations are different from back then.

So... Anyone else getting flashbacks to the Wii U? I'm calling it, the switch 2 will not be a big system seller. From the cost of the system to the games, it's all just way too expensive.

And just like the Wii U, it's focusing on social networking and riding on the coattails of a popular console.

Defacing the Canadian flag? Is this what Pierre Poilievre means when he says β€œCanada First?” #CanadaStrong

Also congrats to Mark Carney for becoming Canada's new liberal leader! Just out of curiosity though, does anyone else think he kind of resembles Mr. Rogers a little bit?

I hope he becomes prime minister, I think he would be a good leader.

Asura player character pondering in old Lion's Arch by the plaza. She is wearing a white robe with gold accents, and a red cloak.

In the background is a Skritt that will tell off her friend for going into the sewers because it's dangerous, but he wants to live there. Further in the background is a human and large norn conversing about what a vendor is selling. The norm is particularly excited about the savings.

My mesmer Volla has had a bit of a change of style. I don't know if anyone remembers sonic underground, but I remembered the queen character from the intro with the cowl and cloak and I felt inspired.

(Oh, and I got the old Lion's Arch key! That's also exciting!)

Firefox decided to sell user data by updating its ToS... I guess old saying is true: You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:

* Does Firefox sell your personal data?

> Nope. Never have, never will.

The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

There's only one answer for me. Totodile of course!

Today is going to be exciting. I'm picking up my ocarina today! If in the coming days you see a giant bird flying out of the sea towards Canada, I've succeeded in my quest of summoning Lugia.

Im a bit disappointed that Pokemon ZA is late 2025. I was hoping much sooner...

A bigger annoyance to me is that the tera raids are still on starters. Like come on, guys. We're at the end of the generation. Bring in more events like the Mewtwo raids and Rayquaza. Or heck, do a mystical like Deoxys.

Oh so that's where that toy came from! I had one too when I was a kid, but it was the Mewtwo. Good find! Shame about the battery, the light up eyes were really vibrant if I remember right.

As a break from all the bad news, Ive bought myself an ocarina! It'll take a while to arrive, but I'm looking forward to having another instrument to play.

I like my harmonica too, but I thought it would be nice to have something a little lighter in tone. (And no, it's not the Zelda one :P)

Now I'm sorry on my side for the anger, but I had to get this off my chest. I see people lining up to apologize for their President's actions.

But his actions reflect all Americans on the world stage, like it or not. And last night, I was cheering for my Prime Minister. As were most Canadians.

I've been playing dragon quest XI for the first time this weekend. I'm just... amazed. You can go in houses? I haven't been able to do that in Pokemon since sw/sh. And it's voice acted!? Amazing.

I'm 7 hours into the demo. I've bought it, but I'm honestly pretty wow'd thus far.
