I'm nearly done with Assassin's Creed Valhalla, as close to 100% completion as I can stomach (no, I'm not chasing down all the collectibles because fuck you).
There's a lot of content. Too much content. And it doesn't feel satisfying like other games I've played lately, or even earlier games in the series. If anything, they should have cut a lot of it. More is not better. More is just more.

And it's apparently a roguelike on PS5 that I overlooked. I'm interested, even if I'm shy about dropping fifty bucks to try it.

It works fine in Canada but, the factory settings are based on the leyline fluxes of the Mason-Dixon line, so we're not able to offer the same strength of guarantee. Vs bears. It will send any tiger off screaming, no trouble there. A calibration partner in your area can make the necessary adjustments.
But I like squids.
No problem. That's just a setscrew. By default, it attracts a disturbing amount of squid.

This is a safe conclusion. The only adverse result I have noted from this strategy, if you can call it adverse, is unexpected pre-cached beverages occurring from time to time during implementation. Which can only help one to remember better.

Freaking Netflix. Everything remotely promising, it gives up on promptly. And my sainted MIL uses ours.
And, being hyperterminal she watches it at weird hours.
And those are my hours.

@izzion If I had the jitters, I'd assume I'd already had some. I don't normally drink enough caffeine to get the jitters, typically about the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee.

I don't think I buy all that much stuff, but I buy it all online. 3D printing supplies that aren't (?) available locally have made up a lot of it recently. For stuff that is available locally, between the virus of unknown origin and my car being inoperable, it's cheaper and easier to order something with free shipping than to add $10–20 for Lyft to take me to the store and have to deal with people (ugh!) while I'm there. I don't remember the last time I was in a brick-and-mortar store, but it's been close to a year. Also, it seems like more, because a single order of, say, 3 items from Walmart may come in 3 packages because it winds up coming from 3 different warehouses (or even 3 different sellers).

It is... sufficient. What's entertaining is that apparently Helix has switched to Git (or so I've heard).
Also, apparently the build goes much faster when Windows Defender isn't "Real-time protectioning" the build folders.

I do 16oz mugs of tea, which is roughly equivalent to an 8oz cup of coffee in caffeine content. I usually drink 1 mug in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, occasionally 1 early morning, 1 late morning, and 1 afternoon, but not so often when working from home rather than getting up early to be in the office earlier than I'm out of bed when I only have to pull on a pair of shorts and walk to the other room.
