It's been almost 3 weeks and it's still a little hard. I had to put down my 3rd and final cat (they were with my wife and I most of our adult lives).

He just suddenly got some kind of cold but wouldn't get better and just ate/drank less and less. The doctor basically was running out of time to find out what was wrong and why he wasn't responding to medications, so we had to eventually just put him down.

I am so glad they finally released physical copies for the whole trilogy, even if it was only in Japan. They still have the English language options in there, so I'm good.

I hate that I couldn't find a new/better home for the girls before they passed, but at least Gobi is doing well. He even has a good morning sun spot that we'll have to keep in mind as our new furniture gets placed.

This weekโ€™s main story is about Donald Trumpโ€™s worsening relationship with the press, how we should be reacting, how it could impact the U.S. moving forward, and how Will Trent has been renewed but Doctor Odyssey hasnโ€™t. We will not sleep until ABC responds.

I was lucky to get to go to the Switch 2 event in Los Angeles. I ended up staying the whole day in the area by going to the LA Zoo and then the Glendale Galleria area for dinner.

I don't know what to think when I keep getting screwed over when it comes to my student loans. I paid off and refinanced my federal loans early on since they were lower (20-30k?) but still had 100+ in private loans. So I get no discharges and likely no refunds for those federal payments.

If anyone was curious, it's the girl in my profile photo. We've been getting her testing on and off for months and it seems to be getting worse. We'll find out next week if the masses and increased lymph node size is positive for lymphoma.

After first starting it in earnest summer 2022 (Odin Pro), I finally beat SotN today on the 4th device using the same save file throughout (Odin Pro -> Steam Deck -> RG35XXSP -> Retroid Pocket 5).

I can't believe I forgot I still had 3 episodes of Ted Lasso left until I took advantage of the free weekend for Apple TV+. Also gave us a chance to try out Shrinking (which is also good).

I like and dislike that my cat needs one of us in the bedroom with her, especially on our days off. Otherwise she's screaming at us until we follow her in there.

I've been enjoying LaD: Infinite Wealth, but I spent 9.5 hours of play time completing the resort part of the game as soon as it unlocked for me (without break).

I've been enjoying M&L Brothership, despite having never finished a M&L RPG previously (they kind of feel boring halfway through. I'm hoping this one is different, though there's some issues I have with specific design decisions.

A bigger part is the buttons being inconsistent when in combat. Like how hammers are X/Y, unless attacking. Though even in a Luigi inspiration attack, I thought X would be used to fire a rock back at the boss but it was A, since it was still part of an attack overall.
