is there some way to track your progress in ring fit?
Anno
Yeah you start a profile based on your Switch profile and it tracks ... some information, at least. I didn't look too closely and I don't know if it tracks things but it does keep a register of your workouts and efforts.
Once they'd gotten everyone out of this house my parents had some people come in before they opened it for selling, who went around the house and hyper-cleaned everything. As a result a lot of the house looks cleaner than I honestly ever remember it being. But when they were cleaning the stove I think they removed the control dials, and when they put the oven control dial back on they put it on upside-down or something. So as a result, it's a bit confusing as to which temperature I'm setting the oven to. I think I've got it where I want it, buuuut.
Anno
Also we really need some ... things in this house. Most of the rooms have been fairly entirely emptied of furniture. All these empty rooms are absolute echo chambers for sound so even the slightest thing I try to do ends up echoing into like ever corner of this ground floor.

I was going for a melee setup. I had the lance with dfs, bandos, prim boots. imbued salve amy. nezi helm.
It's not like once specific thing I die to it's just like stupid mistakes. Leaving run on for the acid attack Having the wrong quick prayers Getting frozen at an angle/mid attack so i can't crumble the little spawn thing or i just zone out and get KO'd by the fireball.
But that's all in the past. Sold the lance. Bought a dhcb. Now I've just got to play some pest control because even though the acc is 2000 total now I still don't have void.

Coming back to the city alone means there isn't really a lot of food in this house. My mother was kind enough to give me a lift and spot the money for groceries before heading back up north but I made a point of only getting essentials. Which means there isn't really any sweets or snack-y food here. Maybe I should bike out to the cookie outlet shop tomorrow and see if they've re-opened with the city entering a lockdown lift phase.
>>867361 You plug cookies into it in order to charge them.
Anno
>>867361 I dunno if you've got the concept of outlet stores there. Here they're shops directly affiliated with a factory that you can often get goods from the factory for a bit cheaper. The better part of this store though is that they also sell the reject cookies, so stuff that's too damaged to make it into the actual cookie packages, for quite a nice price. I once got like six or eight kilograms of cookies for something like five dollars. That one bag lasted me a year.
>>867364 Yeah this store's pretty much right next door to the factory in question. I'm just fortunate to have a bit of an industrial park close to my neighbourhood so the factory's a quick bike ride away.
>The stubborn fact remains that, no matter how deeply we probe into the nature of bacon, eggs, oatmeal, and avocado toast—to say nothing of shakshuka, grits, bear claws, or dim sum—or the interactions between these fundamental building blocks and, say, orange juice or coffee and the morning paper, we simply have no convincing theory to explain how such disparate, seemingly inert components give rise to the phenomenon we subjectively experience as “breakfast.”

aamupala also means breakfast and then additional one välipala - snack, usually similiar to say (three o'clock) teatime or well afternoon snack but can mean any snack between the main meals lit. "in-between snack"

It only took like two or three years but I finally tripped the power switch on my power bar with my fidgeting feet.

Anno
Yeah, I've seen advice for brushing both cats and dogs teeth. I mean it kinda makes sense; their teeth aren't that fundamentally different from ours and suffer the same kind of degredation from use and lack of cleanliness.
I think it's just in the past pets lives didn't last long enough for the teeth to be a consistent issue. As we work harder and harder to keep pets alive they're gonna have to have help for a lot of the same stuff humans suffer as we age. Good dental hygeine is probably the simplest one.

Dogs can die from infections caused by cavities. My friend's dog died that way because his mom was too cheap to pay for a professional teeth cleaning and the infection spread to the dog's brain and it died.

Same way they need scratching posts or otherwise nail maintenance. The natural environment an animal evolves in usually accomodates their needs well enough. Funny thing it is, that taking them out of that and putting them in an artificial one throws everything out of whack.
When Gran/Djeeta start empowering the archangel weapons, they start getting dreams of chit-chatting with belial where he starts warning them about how no one person was ever meant to have that much power. Since Belial is a bastard, they ignore him. And continue to ignore him until they obsessively work towards completing the weapons. When they're done however they're no longer in control of themselves and Belial's like "told you." But eventually friendship power fixes it and you get the Alter Ego Conjurer class outfit, a symbol of having that kind of power to use as needed.
That outfit is from the upcoming Granblue Versus Belial dlc, and is the Malicious Alter Ego outfit instead, so it's similar I guess but more Belial-y which is why Gran looks like a fuck and Djeeta goes full thot I suppose.
and while I'm at it this is the class that description is from, the Tormentor
during the side quest to unlock it, Gran/DJ are in a fucked up interrogation dungeon and there's someone who would be nice to get answers from Gran/DJ can feel alter ego popping into their heads which means it takes place chronologically after completing the seraph weapons.
still amusing that they collabed with a megadeth guitarist for one song that was op of moretsu pirates

hey /moe/ i was just thinking you know how there's like elongated toilet bowls, which are mostly just the standard now and then there's the normal ones, that are almost circular and the toilet seat is like really small i feel like there should be a specific word to describe the part of the toilet that your dong always hits when you sit in one of those i hate the feeling, and i feel like i need to clean that part of my toilet regularly because i don't want my chongus slapping up on dirty porcelain like that i can't really think of a name though but it probably deserves a name either way fuck small toilets and whoever thought to themselves "yeah this tiny toilet is definitely okay"

> You wish on the triforce for the annihilation of the cosmos. You gently place your hand over the Triforce mark on your left palm and wish for the extinction of all sentient life. The Triforce glows brightly, before suddenly you are hit with an unimaginable pain in your head. You scream in agony as you feel your mind breaking under the pressure of the wish. Your Triforce mark begins to burn, as your skin and flesh begin to burn. Blood drips from your nose as you collapse to the floor from your bed and writhe in pain. Finally, all sentient life in the cosmos ends with a tiny chirp as a last lone cricket dies on some faraway planet.

Man even with headphones on and audio playing I can hear the sounds of streetracers tearing down the parkway that runs through the valley. That's like half a kilometre from here, and not even in the direction my window is facing, cross a pretty densely forested segment of valley too. These motherfuckers must be racing really irresponsibly.
Though I will say as muted as it is it kinda sounds like faint, ominous violin playing, which at 02:30 at night sure is an interesting ambience.

>>867789 I actually like the sound really distant cars make not like, freeway traffic but the occasional vehicle is kind of nice reminds you there's civilization out there
Anno
Doesn't happen much these days but when I was a kid, late at night you would hear train horns drift out from the valley, since there's train lines that run through there. That was always a weird kind of comfort to listen to. Even to this day I find distant train horns calming.
Anno
The flipside of this is that I really miss those train horns these days.

Maybe I should just take the plunge and get a new pair of headphones. There's not much left in mine that can fall apart without them literally falling to pieces and I'd rather not wait for them to be totally unusable before I can replace them.

Had to bike out to the store to pick up a prescription for my mom and while I was there they had some really good sales on chocolate and cookies. So I've finally got some sweets to snack on again.
Also while I was out of the house I swung around to the outside wall my room borders and it looks like there might be some wasps at least still snooping around the crevices they were nesting in when I got back here. Hopefully they're not just nesting super deep where the spray didn't reach.
I'm making some Thai curry for dinner and my family really likes to put bok choy in the curry instead of something like broccoli, but like. It's really hard to get smaller quantities of bok choy here since they come in pre-packaged bags. I mean there's probably asian supermarkets that do by-weight or smaller bags but I don't think there's any that are easy to get to from my house. We don't make Thai curry too often and don't really use boy choy for anything else so it kinda has to get all used up in the curry or else go bad, so the curry always ends up with a fuck-tonne of bok choy in it. Which isn't much of a problem when there's other people in the house since at the least my mother tends to take more bok choy than other ingredients. But when I'm making food just for myself ... I like boy choy but I don't like it -this- much!
A tale of windows yesterday evening at around 22:45 after finishing gming a rpg session i noticed a paper hanging from my mailslot >tomorrow we will install new windows into your appartment, please clear a 1 metre minimum working space around any windows you have immediate murder rage mode activated and just go angry sleep call the guy responsible for the construction and give him a piece of my mind manage to get it done later, they later on the day pop up to ask if tomorrow is fine and by that time I had done half of the clearing work (dismantling a bookshelf, emptying three bookshelves, dismantling my xbox, ps3, tv, desktop and laptop set ups and emptying my work desk and ofc moving all of this stuff somewhere else and ofc having that somewhere else to move them into) and I said yes, tomorrow will be fine as long as you come as early as possible

I'm really missing my slippers by this point. Not just for comfort of walking around, but even in the middle of summer when it gets cold enough at night my toes just end up frigid despite wearing socks. They're not thick wool socks sure but they're also not thin-as-fuck cotton socks either; more kinda in the middle. I've requested my family bring the pair I left up north home when they return but that's still like a week and a half out, if they remember. I'd hate for the cold season to come around and I'm still slipper-less.
