Honestly, Henry Cavill being unemployed after shitting on the Witcher's creative team and leaving the series in the lurch is some truly scrumptious schadenfreude.

My friend, texting me about cutting wood on the mountain, "It's -6, the tools crapped out, and I might lose 3,000 dollars on this job."

Me, serving smoothies in the climate-controlled fairgrounds while a belly dancing troupe does a routine to Christmas music:

Coworker: "Wow, Jason, just blasting Adele, huh?" Me: "Oh yeah. If you don't like Adele it means your heart has never been broken, which means I don't trust you."

"No, I think it looked a little better on me."

A moment to breathe. Housing secured. A better job. A rare afternoon of solitude. It's not happiness, but it's sure something.

I'll see about some writing next.

"Do you tremble when you hear my name? You miss me so much? Well... that's too bad."

Well, Far Cry: New Dawn's mission "Through the Wringer" definitely "squeezed me until there almost nothing left" to quote the Twins, in all the wrong ways. I just want a firefight that's more than bite-size, and instead it's got me doing the "do it in the time limit or game over" scramble. Which resulted in me skipping right to a guide, because fuck those missions, and then I got an unskippable cutscene for the Twins to posture on-screen until I get away.

Never before has one mission so utterly extinguished my desire to play a game. What's the next big mission, do I get to sit and listen to Joseph Seed give a sermon? Oh, and by the way, New Dawn, I WANTED TO TAKE HIS SON'S DEAL AND SHOOT JOSEPH RIGHT IN THE DAMN HEAD AND INSTEAD I GOT TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
