@npub1463…00qn They're on bsky at least, so that's decent. At this point I figure folks will make the hop to that, here, or Insta, and I'm just happy if they at least don't go Insta heh.

Is there an #investing Masto?
Basically I glanced at CD rates, and, is this normal? I don't get why the return rate on 9 months is so high. Or why the yield actually drops on the longer CD terms. Or why the money market account is higher than all but the 9 month CD. Shouldn't the rates just like, go up the longer the term? And shouldn't the money market account be markedly lower than CDs?
Like, is the US economy just in a fucked up place right now, and the banks are going "yup shit's weird" and this is how it looks when they brace for a shakeup? Or something?

So I snagged Immortals Fenyx Rising, that last gen Ubisoft game where they took the AC engine and made a Zelda BOTW kinda thing?
IT'S GREAT
It hits different, now that every other game also aped BOTW. It feels (is) way less blatant. It adds a ton! There's a bunch of really novel mechanics in here, combat design is good too.
The demo turns out to have been terrible. Hated it. But the narration in the actual game is way more spread out, and thus actually fun? I just. Huh. It's actually great.

I've recently learned that the "Let It Go" of 2023, if you're a parent of a toddler, is:
Peaches, by Jack Black (from the Mario movie)
Jack Black trolling an entire generation of parents AND getting a new generation into Tenacious D since, er, this is just Tenacious D. This could totally be on their next album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW7bzd8uwyQ

God help me. I'm enough of a birder to know the bird calls they're using in #BaldursGate3.
Finch. Chickadee. Not very appropriate for this semi tropical climate. Which means, ah, I bet I know the climate band the devs are in (same as me), heh.

Just reading @npub1lzn…h56j talk about the educational properties of video games and
yeah I think I could probably straight up use the power of friendship to kill God at this point.

Noticed the #songsthatgetstuckinyourhead semi-trending, and, well speaking again of #BaldursGate3, "down by the river" is welded to my brain at this point.
Larian Studios have a history of absolutely fantastic OSTs, originally with Kirill Pokrovsky, who unfortunately died, and now the torch is being carried fantastically by Borislav Slavov.
and it really was torch-passing, too. There were a bunch of interviews around when Pokrovsky died, and it's rad to see this kind of continuum of respect? Dunno. Just, really affecting. https://gamingaudionews.com/2018/05/15/borislav-slavov-talks-adaptive-soundtrack-of-divinity-original-sin-2/
Anyways, this song fucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSVRtM1x9wQ

I have Baldur's Gate 3 downloading and somehow I am supposed to do 5-6 hours of work now and just, ignore that it's downloading

Random #GameDev thing: you know that one old "how to fix z-fighting" joke GIF we all remember/use/love? It contains a deadname! I'd never actually looked at the poster.
Anyways, fixed here. Enough to attribute still, just without the deadname part. yay!
