I want to not have been baitclicked
I still have not fixed the overwhelming HTML-based (I assume?) problem; the one that puts an enormous hurdle in front of an internaut user trying to comment on any one of my posts. Of course, more traffic to "my" website would probably solve it, but I miss hearing from my readeries, as I used to call you, so I delay in trying anything.
It gets ronery in here; just like it started; as the mreowr of the old decaying cat I cat-sit echoes through the empty main floor I still blog from.
I think my writing style took a hit; time to find it again.
And so the cherry on the bottom is I have to clean up after the cat now. Usually I let its owner take care of it, but one must pitch in when the felines start meowing at the apes.

A wholly similar topic to yesterday
Yesterday's blog post title had to do with how comfortable I felt sharing my innermost thoughts to the general blogging realm, if not the internet. I didn't write much about that, choosing to freewrite down some spare thoughts instead.
I'm here now instead of queuing up for Overwatch again. I figure it's generally a better use of my time to blog than to spend another hour cloud gaming: I'll be a better writer that way.
I enjoy the writing in Overwatch more than ever, though. I mean, the writing other players do in this case, not the lore writing (which is great as well). In lieu of a proper offline social life, I find that I smile and chuckle often whilst playing this multiplayer game simply because of the sometimes outrageous banter that happens in match chat. Off the top of my head, things like "you absolute cucumber" (what an insult!) or "dps diff" (which is complicated to explain but very simplistically means one team's damage dealers significantly outperformed the other teams') are common and either make me smile or make me reflect on my own gameplay to improve. The toxicity has gone down, in my experience, because the AI filter seems to pick up pretty well on actual toxic messages, so it's fun to read people chat and participate, too.
At the very least, you'll find me saying gl;hf often in multiplayer games because I strongly believe that bringing in sportsmanship in competitive e-sports games is a great idea considering the general negativity and sometimes downright filthy language that can be found in lobbies. I know I always appreciate it when positive players on either team contribute to a positive social experience; it makes spending time online worth it (and improving my hand eye coordination) worth it, in my opinion.
Now to go queue without even bother revising my post: that's the speedy spirit, Gabriel.

How personal can I get?
A kaleidoughscope of musings.
I am wondering; I'm kinda high. I'm in queue for an Overwatch rig which I will then use to queue an Overwatch game on.
I don't mind disclosing that I'm stoned. Baked. Fried. Gelé. I am often; it's a residual habit I have from the pandemic, where I decided that I wasn't going to spend lockdown sober. I'm glad I did not; I have no regrets from the pandemic.
I have no regrets about the pandemic for now. No, that's not true. My only regret is not working harder to build a life with someone, like an SO.
Well, my rig queue is up; what I was thinking before I forget is that I can always claim that an AI wrote something I did if I somehow get into hot water with the blogging authorities, which has yet to happen.
I will say that I was recently unbanned from Overwatch. I was banned by the automated system, probably because I play on cloud gaming. I have been cloud gaming almost exclusively for almost a year now.
On that note, I did recently restart my Nintendo Switch, and it still works.
I still love video games.
All is well in the world.

A log of blog logs and a pic
I like to write about my personal life a lot.
It goes overboard sometimes, but not very often because I can always get my Reddit fix and on there, I don't like writing about my personal life nearly as often because especially nobody cares.
Here, somebody might care one day.
In act, that's sort of what the purpose of this blog has turned into: a log of blog logs, a place where I wrote stuff that might once again have relevance in the future, for Internet historians or for future schoolchildren learning about human history.
One gripe I have with this place is that the pictures aren't forever, but here's one I took and when this one disappears from Google's servers for whatever reason, well, at least there won't be anything left to describe it except... no, nothing except VOICI:

A simple writ of the 420 day
It gets more and more complicated as I write these words.
It's been a tiring day; I cried a bit because I can.
It's nice having only a couple cultivars on hand, even though I so badly want to walk to the local store and buy more.
Why do I have to pay money for you, MJ?

What I am dueling:
Mostly myself.
How'd I end up with this picture?
I "buried" a few cards I could afford to damage beneath this small square table, right before a rainstorm.
I came back the next day, lifted this up, and took a picture.
Essentially, I'm trying to convey how difficult it is to just go out and find a fair duel - Yu-Gi-Oh! or otherwise - in this city.
So instead, I practice here and there against a literal inanimate object - my former "SSBU" practice table, which is a whole other story.
Bad Reaction to Simochi (opponent takes Xxx DMG when they draw a card) is still my favourite continuous trap card, other than my only "Secret Rare", Imperial Order (which prevents the activation of magic/spell cards entirely).
Still mostly playing Overwatch on GFN for my videogame fix these days.
Spring is pretty much here!

Mega-sign of Ontario
On the day that I took the following picture, I walked down to Lake Ontario and walked right back up to my house.
I encountered this sign in the middle of my journey, as I was completing my loop.
I wonder if one day there will be a sign with this one on it.
Some rules are better than no rules I suppose...

Players who don't switch heroes
Players who don't switch in Overwatch when they have the brain cells and the capacity to really get to me me sometimes.
Take, for example, ult-charge-%-collectors, like this Lucio I just played with. Spent all game telling my team they had their ult here and there, but it did fuck all and we lost best 2 out of 3 anyway (because ULT CHARGE DOES NOT CARRY OVER ON CONTROL).
What I'm getting at is a basic, common mistake in Overwatch: saving your ultimate for the right moment. Generally, that makes sense, you want to use a strong, powerful ability at the right time otherwise it feels like -you- wasted your time.
But too often, my games end with either me at 99% ult charge, which can't really be helped, and 1-2 of my teammates who have theirs but chose to "save it" for the next failed teamfight anyway. Rinse and repeat.
This is frustrating, especially when the game throws me into the tank role which comes with the additional burden of having to be near the objective otherwise total anarchy reigns and the game becomes wholly unfun and boring.
Why not switch to a different hero instead of letting your ult charge gather dust in an ACTION-BASED TEAM-ORIENTED FPS, team?!
A question that I'll probably never get an answer to, as usual, except for a mute & a ban from Blizzard for daring to communicate with their precious player consumer base.
Also, fk turrets. I fking hate them. Torb's. Symm's. Ball's. Even Larry the Cable Girl's pylon is starting to get on my nerves sometimes, and she is my favourite design... until Anran released. I LIKE ZOOMING AROUND BECAUSE IT LESSENS THE CHANCE I NEED TO RELY ON NON-EXISTENT HEALS!
I shudder to think what five additional heroes will do to the game landscape, but at least I don't have to keep calling it Overwatch TWO like I did for so many years. It's just Classic now if I play 6vs6, and in 5vs5, well, at least the queue times are low.
One more fact, I think; I preferred this game when I mostly played it on my Nintendo Switch WITH gyro support. Mouse and Keyboard is fun in the moment, but the feelings of working as a team are few and far in-between.
Anyway; catch me not switch off Anran, Domina, and Zen for the next little while.
I say this, but we all know I'm going to switch to what -feels right- and trigger my whole team for daring to switch to a non-meta hero anyway.
