I probly coulda played junior hockey, but noooo… gotta hang out with the edgy cool kids in high school.

It sucks even worse knowing that the rest of my body and my brain are still capable of doing sports, but my lungs and heart just cannot take the pressure. I can’t even jog more that 2 blocks.

I took a chance on this game when it came out on gamepass, and don’t regret it in the slightest. I may purchase a license this time to check out this DLC.

For anyone who hasn’t played it, it’s a lovecraftian/nautical horror set on a Scottish oil rig, in a similar presentation to Amnesia and the rest of the Frictional catalogue. It’s very pretty, very well acted, and just the right amount of scary, imo.

In T.O. it’d be a pigeon, not a rat, though. (Some would argue, ‘what’s the difference’, but, hey.)

Today I had to disable Copilot in Notepad.

Notepad.

The shitty word editor that you use to jot down your shitty writing before copypasting it into somewhere else to put actual work into it.

You’re telling me I can’t change the shitty line-spacing in shitty Notepad, but I can get a top-of-the-line corporate LLM to help me with my purposely shitty writing?

Drilling out all the plaque from between my teeth. After the first session, I almost teared up at being able to feel the spaces between my teeth with my tongue again. Pretty nasty.

So I didn’t go to the dentist for about 15 years. I had disgustingly visible buildups of calcified plaque around my bottom front row, and was becoming seriously self conscious about smiling because of it. All my wisdom teeth were still in, but only a couple of them were visible at all. Then one day I took a big bite of a taco, and all of a sudden it felt like I got punched in the jaw at the mandible joint. So I went into panic/maintenance mode, and booked doctors and dentist appointments asap, catastrophising that one of my wisdom teeth had somehow grown up into my jaw and was going to dislocate it, or something. It was a fucking delicious taco, too.

Anyway, turned out my wisdom teeth were fine, if fact the dentist was amazed at how well my teeth were holding up considering how badly I treated them/ignored them. Only one cavity, the only cavity I’ve ever had in my life, and in a wisdom tooth that could be easily removed, at that. So I got that pulled out promptly, which was one of the most disgusting experiences of my life.

Turned out the cartilage between my jaw and my skull had gradually slipped loose, and the bone was rubbing up against bone. Six months of jaw therapy and multiple awful, painful, and bloody dentist visits later, my mouth is back to normal, my jaw doesn’t click any more, and my teeth are looking great.

And now, I cannot, for the life of me, fall asleep at night without flossing first.
