I played a couple Illuminate missions today. It was fun. Both new enemies can be killed with light pen. The Bullet Storm helped a lot. The big guys provide a good use case for Lure Mines.
I split off to take out a small base. I ended up crouch sneaking most of the way back to avoid the patrols. At one point I was sneaking down a street and saw a handful of Wretch were skulking down the opposite side. I tossed a turret their way. It distracted them long enough for me to rejoin the squad.
Not sure how I feel about the extra SEAF troops. There are a lot now and new ones get dropped off every couple minutes. They were helping, but mostly as an enemy distraction.
It's a little glitchy at times, but I haven't noticed any major issues since the "terminal stuck in the ground" bug.
My characters arm still occasionally goes stiff on the ship. Some enemies might spaghettify to 100 feet tall. But that's just the beauty of Super Earth engineering.
I got my first EV about a month ago. I charge off a 120v 15a outlet at home and I've been fine. Yes, it would take 2 days to go from 0 to 100%, but that's not necessary. It only takes a few hours to charge the 6% I average per day.
I saw it yesterday. It's a fun movie. I'm glad I watched the original Anaconda beforehand. Jack Black plays a similar role as his Be Kind Rewind character. I don't think the framing device can hold sequels, but I guess it works for the Scream movies.
I can't remember a particularly weird one, but the most infuriating cable I've encountered is the power cable for my Acer Swift 3. It's a tiny barrel pin that plugs into a poorly secured port on the laptop. The laptop has a usb-c port, but it doesn't support charging.
That sounds like The Trunk Space! Though, I think they lost their church spot last year. I think TV Girl and AJJ were my favorite shows there. They also held a Desert Trash festival years ago.
I like minesweeper, but the guesswork is frustrating. Fortunately other games have improved the concept. Hexcells removes the guesswork and adds more logic elements.
Dragonsweeper still requires some luck, but it has some interesting mechanics you can figure out on the end game screen. Also it's free! https://danielben.itch.io/dragonsweeper
It's about the same in Arizona, USA. Starbucks 16oz Pumpkin Spice latte is $6.76. A local specialty coffee shop currently has a White Pumpkin latte for about $7.83 after tax. I think it's a 16oz. The regular lattes are maybe a dollar cheaper.
My friend then told me to tell Dad he was AFAB, so I told him that and he got more annoyed, saying he wouldn't let me spend time with a trans guy who was gonna make my head "weird".
This seems like the main issue. I assume your dad's homophobia is part of the reason you haven't come out yet. It's an awful thing to deal with. I'm sorry. However, if you think your dad is an otherwise reasonable person you may be able to talk him through it.
Both of your dad's objections come from him being worried about you. He is worried that your friend might hurt you in some way. You need to find a way to show your dad that your friend is a nice person that cares about you.
There's no easy way to fix things, but I have ideas. These assume your dad is a somewhat reasonable person that you feel safe around. I apologize if that is not accurate:
Introduce your friend to your dad in a neutral place. Maybe a park or a restaurant. Let your dad stay for a while. It's lame, but it builds trust.
Arrange a hangout with multiple friends. It shows that y'all just want to be together like normal friends. No sketch stuff.
Have you met your friend's parents? If they seem like good people you can introduce them to your dad. If your dad trusts the parents he'll be more likely to let you be see them.
Tell your dad why you like your friend. What do you have in common? Do they tell good jokes? Do they like the same games and movies that you do?
Avoid mentioning sex or gender when talking about your friend. Just focus on the things that make them a cool person that you like to spend time with.
I realize I am assuming a best case scenario. I hope your father will be understanding. It's going to be a difficult process either way.
My favorite coffee mug. It was a wide mug good for cappuccinos. I got it from a previous job almost 10 years ago.
It might have been fixable, but I now have an excuse to actually buy a mug next time I see a fun one.

Then stop fighting Terminids /s

Memonek indie games: lower manifold horror exploring emotion sickness and alien physiology.

Good to hear. It wasn't what I expected but I really enjoyed it.

The most recent I can think of is It Takes A War. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3919530/It_Takes_a_War/
It is a real game. It plays like a cheap clone of Counter Strike, but the gunplay is a backdrop for what the game is about.
It's a great game. It's amazing how many problems you can solve by hijacking a nearby ship and ramming it into your target.
Getting a time dilation device and blitzing across a dozen rooms to your target feels like an action movie scene.
It feels like an immersive sim but you can finish a mission in 5 minutes.
The Phoenix show had Triple Band!

I heard there was a bug that bayonet kills weren't being counted. We completed the order once they fixed the glitch. I stabbed a lot of voteless.

I didn't know about xeyes. Neat. The switch isn't recognized on 1.1.2.
