It's incredible to share Steam takeover banner with Against the Storm.
Buy this game, it's really fun with awesome no-bullshit design.

Breakthrough idea about level design:

Instead of yellow paint, there are cats sitting near the points of interest.

Grandma called me and forbade to work on the weekend. Oh well.

I ate 4 kiwis and got chemical burns of my lips and tongue.
I regret nothing and totally recommend you to follow my example.

So I ate 2 small kebabs and CRASHED HARD lol, what is that? Am I vegan now? How does it works? Why do I have hangovers after eating MEAT?

I found that a little bit of physical activity (walking, stretching) is actually helpful, as well as doing something productive. Anything that keeps you moving, physically or mentally.
But yeah, I wouldn't go to the gym in that state.

Спасибо, я этот трек сделал буквально часа за 4 в один присест, когда мне приехала миди-клавиатура, и очень хотелось просто с ней поиграться :D

Да и вообще весь релиз это "очень хочется пожужжать на лучшей в мире дисторшен педали HM-2 (точнее ее цифровых аналогов) и обязательно чтоб все В ТЕРЦИЮ"

In total, I liked it, but 48+ hours may be too extreme for me. 24-40 hours is the best I think and I'll do that again in a few weeks. Also I'll try to remember that feeling of control over hunger and use it for a few days, so as not to overcompensate for the past period.

It is also great that I ate just some fruits this night (few slices of pineapple, one banana, a little bit of dried apricots) and that was really enough for me. Just wow.

I don't know if I lost any weight, 'cause I don't have scales at home, but I'll check in the gym next week.

For sure, there was a good side: after 30-36 hours I was pretty sharp, my games in CS2 were my best games since release, I was much faster and more focused than usual.
I also didn't had any adverse psychological effects (anger, frustration, irritability) during the whole time, mostly physical.

Most surprising to me was that hunger is pretty bearable. Ok, I want to eat, so? Can I not eat? Sure. I think I could do that a few days more without much stress, but I'd feel TERRIBLE, so I stopped. Last night I barely had any sleep, and that was not fun at all.

About 55 hours without food in total.
I woke up very weak and lighheaded, and 40 minutes taxi ride was a nightmare, but it was worth it, because grilled pineapples.

I took 2 day offs and slept for 12 hours.
It was great by itself, but after that I realised that I didn't eat anything for 30 hours already and I'm not really hungry (well, I am, but it's bearable).

So I want to continue this experiment until tomorrow, and will post my results and experience here.

Я опоздал на пояснительный вызов, но все началось здесь twitter.com/turbojedi/st... , продолжилось как "я хорошо представляю, как этот альбом мог бы звучать, почему бы и не" и вылилось вот собственно в приложенный лин. Все делалось в рамках шитпоста, но музыку с альбома неиронично можно слушать.

So I FINALLY have all my music gear delivered to me.

Sat with a guitar for the first time in like 4 months and immediately wrote 11/4 riff. I've missed that.

мне не даёт покоя фраза "the cake is a lie"

кажется, будто человеческая любовь к рифмам и каламбурам даёт здесь сбой: почему не "the pie is a lie"? почему не "the cake is (a) fake"?

а эта фраза звучит как попытка подражать вот этой человеческой манере речи, совершённая нейросеткой

ну, или роботом

We also had a military base nearby, and of course there was also MILITARY EXPERIMENTS rumours.

So if Russianы suddenly attck your town with a secret invisible mystical superweapon, you know how to be safe from it lol.

Curtains on the windows should've been closed too, and if you absolutely had to go outside, you should've remain in shadows or under roofs as much as possible.
Everybody did that, but nobody knew why. There was many rumours: crop fields chemical treatment, solar flares, radiation.

Hidden memory unlocked.

I suddenly remembered a few strange days from my childhood in a rural area, when it was forbidden to go outside.
Not just for kids, but for everyone, because it was "dangerous" somehow. Usually a warning would come a few days before, and adults seemed concerned about it.
