Bought myself a Purple off aliexpress because for $75, why not?
Purple
Pretty impressed with it already. Feels nice, the dock also has the dongle in it so you can just plug that in to charge/play.
The dongle makes it feel more response than my old controller, and the dongle also means it works no matter what when dualbooting.
I also forgot it has switches to turn the triggers from analogue to digital, which will be a big help in Nightreign. No wondering if you’ve pulled a trigger enough to do an attack now, you feel the click and know it happened.
And I’m going to program the macro buttons to some annoying button combos for Nightreign, and maybe unassign sprint from the left stick because I kept accidentally pressing it on the old controller
oooo 8bitdo? they do nice things. I have some of their NES/SNES and bought a Sega modkit for His Lordship.
Yes, the new Pro 3 controller. I have the Pro 2 that I’ve been very happy with, but haven’t used as much as I’d like because of the Nintendo button layout. You can swap these out because they’re magnetic so it extends the use case by a lot.
I was using a Guilikit Kingkong but haven’t been completely happy with it recently. Switching to this controller has shown me how wrong I’ve been all these years for using it
Tired, achy, sore behind the nose… I checked and the pollen count is low so I found and used a Covid test that expires this July. No sense in wasting it. It was negative but yeah.
I’ve been slack but really should start masking again. Especially as I’m using laundry sanitizer so I can just throw cloth ones in the main load and especially as a particularly nasty flu season is coming. I wonder if my doctor or the chemist has the new flu shots yet, the ones against Super K.

I have an interview as an actor next week.
I have never been an actor.
This should be amazing lol
Just act yourself.
oh no …lol
It’s a shame this is a sfw forum hey lol
That sounds very interesting.
Can you tell us more?
I blindly applied for this job and for some insane reason they set up an interview for next week.
Nothing in my resume indicates any acting ability. In fact, that I work in IT, one would assume would be a strike against working in a creative field lol
But you are a muso! A performer! A natural for the job.
Yess, and he’s so good. 😊
seriously, Melbourne is good for this 😊
Mr. bean was an electrical engineer so don’t sell yourself short!
Bro I did 2 years of electrical engineering 🤣 maybe more in common than I first thought lol
Did they say what sort of role???
This isn’t like the extras roles that get advertised on SEEK regularly? I’ve done about two extras roles before
I genuinely don’t remember man. The email said they were sorry they’d taken so long to respond so this could have been 6 months ago.

Ugh… I’m feeling terrible for avoiding grief by being busy (and for making bad decisions that create more work) but if I get a quiet moment it all starts flooding in. All my life I’ve been forced to soldier on through the next crisis so I don’t know how to grieve healthily. I can’t deal with it. 😔
I understand how you feel. I’ve been moving from task to task for most of my life. The only advice I can offer is to be gentle with yourself ♥️
Thanks dude
You are dealing with it.
You are functioning, you are living, you are making new memories.
Sometimes sadness just doesn’t go away, we learn to live with it.
I tried almond milk for the first time and I didn’t hate it.
They use tweezers to get to the nipples, it’s a marvel to watch. I had the opportunity to see this in person in Macau (northern Macau almost Shenzhen)
I get the barista one. It’s not bad.
I love that! Do you think that oat have tinie tiny nipples too?
They secrete it from milk glands onto their hull like a platypus
Correct.
Salt gun update: Baking soda mixed in with the salt did the trick. Thanks for the tips.
(Non-joking, serious answers please)
I’m considering a cheap carpet cleaner or steamer and going over options… Kmart has a multipurpose steam spot cleaner around $150 plus some other options and Bunnings and The Good Guys have options around the $200 mark. Which is maybe a doable savings goal.
Anyone have experience with using carpet cleaning machines in this price range? Were they terrible? Any advice or budget recs?
I’m tossing up between something shampooey to get rid of the stains and grubbiness and potentially using an antifungal cleaner/actual disinfectant in it to kill ringworm spores. Or maybe I should choose something with steam to help kill the spores and also kill any future moth, flea, or bedbug infestations.
I was thinking of buying outright because hiring the Rug Doctor machine is such a hassle without a car, has a time pressure, and is $50 a pop when ringworm reinfestation is likely.
I have a bissell carpet cleaner, it just uses hot water. It was about $250 when I got it 5 years ago. The carpet shampoos are expensive but excellent. I use the special for pets one, safe for pets and gets rid of pet smells and pet germs. I use very hot tap water in the cleaning mix and it works well.
you can just spot clean with it too , no need to do the whole house
also I do rugs with it , just have to do it on a tiled section in the house
in the long run it has been worth every penny and does a great job.
the one I got is now 299, that’s the one you want
Thanks, I’ll see if I can find one for that
also, if you get a much cheap cleaner you can still use the high quality bissell carpet shampoos 👍The pet one especially
the main thing is to have a strong vacuum to remove the cleaning water
PSA, it’s smoke alarm battery day. You don’t want the dreaded pips at 3am
Another IT problem solved after much stress and swearing under my breath. This time the website enquiry form wasn’t working. The form submits on the website but wouldn’t send an email to me with the details. A possible new client called me asking if I had received their website enquiry… sent through last week! Another problem caused by switching email providers. Who knows if I missed any other enquiry forms in the time it wasn’t working, great.
Psych appointment went really well which is great. Got a lot of old crap off my chest that I usually ignore.
And I’ve hit the rebate limit so it only costs me 40 bucks for the next 7 sessions.
Boyo has yet again delivered present super early. I really don’t understand this compulsion. These gifts are not temperature controlled or the size of an elephant, stash it in the back of a bookcase for a week?!?!
back from cinema , it really is a beautiful movie
because of transport stuff ups I got there 20 minutes late, no prob, just means I won’t see the trailers and some psa’s and will miss the starting 10 minutes
desk clerk pushed me to get a later showing , I insisted
So I get in this giant theatre and I’m the only one. They start up the movie for me and yes, they started it at 15 minutes in because there are later start times to accommodate
So why is Rocky so relatable . Because he is personalised… He has the Erid versions of tattoos and markings, He has mannerisms and habits. He has language and abstract thinking and he is a social creature.
and everything in the audiobook, which I know well, is in the movie, just in different ways.
There is so much that is good in the movie. 😊
His celebration outfit was so cute and he was so proud!
he had a lot to be proud about
he was a brave astronaut, he was smart, he worked really hard, he never gave up, he cared, and he was a good Erid
I like that the outfit was 3D 😊 and I would totes wear that necklace/collar myself
that last scene where Grace picks up course sand on the Erid beach, it’s quartz stained with iron, exactly the same as here
and this really brought home to me in more than abstract terms that the universe is made of all the same things, same particles, same elements,
I kinda knew already, anyone who travels continents can see what a planet is made of but this was on a cosmic scale
there is so much in this movie that I think people will watch it many times and it will always be fresh 😊😊😊
Got done by an April Fools before 8am 🤦♀️ (at least I hope it was a prank)
Arrived at work on time to find my most disliked truck driver had blocked most of the car parks because ???
Am cranky pants. Need coffee. And moar sleep.

Psych appointment today then interview a couple of hours later.
Enough time to get a nap in between.
sending healing vibes and good luck
