So the longer we wait the more likely it will be at TGA right?

Happy Half Life 3 announcement day eve to all who celebrate

Some people say November is sad and boring… but if you’re a Half Life fan, this November has been akin to waiting for the second coming of Christ.

All I want for Christmas is HOPE

Okay it's also pretty plausible that the announcement will be the 19th, it's within the sales event gap and literally the anniversary for Half Life 1.

November 18th or December 11th…
You watch.

Valve hardware announcement today was incredible. I mean, I knew all three of those products were coming but finally seeing them for real… Big year for Valve. And the biggest announcement is yet to come…

Just posted a new blog post, briefly talking about what I got up to during my first design week at college:

The pizza chain near me puts your soda bottles into these plastic bags that must be made out of the same plastic as those produce bags you find on rolls at the grocery store, because they smell exactly the same.

One thing I like about Pokemon GO is getting Pokemon from all over the world via friends and remote raids. I don't think I will ever visit every country on earth myself, but maybe I can at least get a Pokemon from them all.

The Blue Jays may have lost, but a mysterious weed smoking man gave us a cryptic letter that led to a Bluesky based mmo… thing. So I think that’s more important actually.

How did I barely sleep any last night? I got up early for school and went to bed at twelve… even felt super tired. But not much sleep was had. Maybe I really do have insomnia.

Half Life 3 will get an announcement at the Game Awards. This year I can feel it.

I was less than 300k XP away from level 37 before Pokémon GO reworked the leveling curve. Now I'm level 47 and can finally do the thing I have been waiting to do: create Pokéstops!

What's the deal with sub shop cookies? I went to Mr. Sub and they have quite similar cookies to Subway…

My brief unscheduled period of unmedication is almost over. You know, every time this happens, I get reminded just how mental I actually am.

Elevators that lack indicators outside their doors to show direction of travel are frustrating. You press the button for the direction you want, but if someone is getting off on your floor, the door will open and you will have no idea which direction it’s going if people remain on the elevator.

Today I planned to go to Mississauga to visit the Square One mall but I got on the bus in the wrong direction and ended up in Hamilton. Walking around "the hammer" was nice, and I ended the experience with a killer local ice cream shop before getting the train home.

High ego and low self esteem is a lethal combination. You think about yourself constantly. Every possible thing that is wrong with you, all of the time. A constant loop of anxiety. It's one thing to not think so highly about yourself but… this is that but with those annoying phone notifications.

If I could get one movie produced it would be this: A Portal movie but it follows Cave Johnson (J. K. Simmons) from the 1950s through to the 1980s, expanding upon the voice lines in the games. It would be directed by Wes Anderson. You can't tell me that wouldn't be the best thing ever made.

Why is Google Search a better spell checker then every single spell checker built into every application, ever. That is your one job.

Can someone explain to me why the lettuce at Burger King tastes like green peas?

Spent all day travelling; by plane, train, and bus. Starting school in a new town. (Side note: Taco Bell is good, I had it for the first time today. Yes, I have finally found civilization.)

I have reached the point in my Linux journey where I have gotten used to updating packages with the command line instead of the KDE Discover app.

When life gives you lemons, eat the lemons. 🍋

Installing Nvidia drivers and DaVanci Resolve on Fedora required quite a lot of Linux magic. I'm not quite sure what I was doing but I eventually got it to work.
