New unwanted sensation: Due to a bad confluence of changing insurers and Rx renewals I had to skip my antidepressant for a few days, and damn, two days of cold turkey have hit me like a truck in the form of flu symptoms. Stuffed nose, watery eyes, foggy head, can't sleep. Ugh, do not recommend.
It's fun when you change insurers and everything medical in your whole family just sorta goes into a limbo and you have to sort everything out and hope that all the things happening before still will.

Super loud party a few houses away, taking up all the street parking. Probably a graduation party.
I'm all for it; so little chances to be happy about things I will vicariously share in their enjoyment and it's not going to kill me to park a little farther away than usual once in a while.
It's nice to hear people laughing and enjoying themselves, because you know :waves arms around:

I spent as much time parkouring from building top to buidling top in Tokyo as playing the game part; bummed that the studio is gone and we'll never see a sequel to it.
I really felt like I was running through creepy empty Tokyo with a reason for it to be devoid of NPCs and that was really cool. It's plateaus a little in game mechanic interest towards the end, but I still loved it and did a bunch of side stuff.

You can get all manner of vinyl wraps in over 100 colors for $500 installed apparently. Climate control is knobs; you bring your own audio to install, which they say should be easy. No touchscreen, you choose to cradle a tablet or phone in it. All sounds pretty promising.

In 1985 my parents took my brother and I to Florida, and we were lucky enough to see the Challenger launch. It's an astounding thing to see a space launch in person.

My man, you have *no* idea what you are talking about here. No one is doing real creature stuff for LED volumes, and Maya is not a renderer anyone uses for final output. Certainly not in any of your Mandalorian examples from ILM is that happening. Hero CG work is almost always added later. (For Trek it's ALWAYS)
