On the topic of house stuff, I had a big HVAC week. Put in a heat pump to replace the old gas furnace and AC unit.

It's amazing, we have airflow everywhere, the downstairs actually heats up, and the upstairs doesn't boil in the process. Gonna have to see how it does as an AC replacement in the summer, but considering both me and my gf work from home, we're suddenly so much more comfortable

Just finished watching Wonka and I got admit… it's pretty charming. Then again, Paul King directed this and at this point I trust him to make a solid family film.

I really enjoyed it the other week when I was having a bit of a down day. It's quite a sweet movie.

Wonka is great. My wife saw it 3 times in the theater. We went last weekend and it really is just a gorgeous, low stakes drama and Chalamet is talented as all hell.

That’s a good idea. Didn’t even know this existed. Thanks!

Yeah, the most modern Madden is the same as the last 6 or so but with some QoL improvements and it's basically free after the season ends and it makes sense just to buy the appropriate Game Pass for a month every time you feel like trying an EA or MS first party game.

If you have any interest in PC gaming, the Xbox Ultimate Game Pass for PC (or whatever they call it) includes Xbox Live/regular Game Pass on the console, so if you buy Xbox Live cards (~$55) and input them first you can then upgrade all of your paid time to the pricier tier by dropping a 1-month Ultimate card on top of your already input Live time.

But all that is moot, you should be playing this like I will be until mid-June or whenever the new game is coming out. Gonna turn this Iowa Hawkeye offense around!

If I had a working console, I could probably find some dynasties that stretched to 2030 or something. I'd do like 4-5 seasons as Iowa State, then bounce to another school for 4-5 seasons, then another.

They made recruiting significantly easier and less fun. It was just "get gems avoid busts" not " scout and recruit based on program strengths"

I never got 14 but 13 was good. I usually alternated years of purchasing the game. Wish I’d kept my ps3 *sigh*

It is kinda weird to me how credulous a bunch of people I otherwise respect are being in regards to the Tik Tok thing

They’re like “we would never just allow propaganda to spread unchecked! We have to do something!” meanwhile I’m looking at giant billboards for the Epoch Times and Shen Yun all over town, Tucker Carlson is blowing Putin on camera, Twitter/Facebook/Instagram all still exist…

There is also the whole "nobody is banning anything" crowd who are basically the same people who say there aren't book bans.in Florida because you can still buy them.

Anyways, have a reason why TikTok should exist:

I still haven't picked Disco Elysium back up since I hosed up trying to persuade/intimidate the group in the hotel bar with a 3 roll when a 4 or above would have succeeded. I spent like 12 in-game hours failing to find anything to advance the main story or any side quests even after revisiting every NPC and pixel hunting and lost all gumption to play again.

It's why most rpgs/puzzle games should be played with a FAQ. As soon as you're stuck there's nothing fun about figuring out the way forward by brute force. This isn't the 90s where we could only afford a few games a year and even then people used game guides all the time.

I almost quit when I realized I had locked myself out of an explainer on the pale and had to go watch a YouTube of it. But at least I looked up why I couldn't get dialogue to advance instead of bashing my head against a wall
