If you're into Higurashi you should give Doki Doki Literature Club a go, it gets....dark.
It's on my list, having passed The Undertale Test ("If something catches a lot of hype immediately, and I know it, I avoid it because I'm hipster filth. If they're still saying good things about it years later, I'll give it another look").
Probably be a while, considering I just finished Onikakushi today.

PS: Check out Umineko if you haven't.

Oh, uh, first world problems...
Literally every time I stand out of my TV chair to put the Joycons back onto my Switch, I get a static shock when my fingers touch the console.

The wife and I have been streaming The Sopranos for the last few weeks. Finally have something to watch that we both absolutely love (since Deadwood anyways). Anyhow, we have been watching an episode a night once the kids are in bed, so having constantly somewhat late weeknights, going to bed between11:00 > 11:30pm waking up at 6:00 to get ready for work. So feeling a little sleep deprived lately. Not my fault, I blame working for a living for getting me out of bed too early.


As if that wasn't bad enough we are just starting Season 5 and now our streaming service tells us it's only going to be available till the 30th of this month.
So now we have, what, 2 weeks to watch the remaining odd episodes or eventually buy the boxset if we can find it. Looks like we'll have to start doing back to back episodes every night, probably get to sleep after midnight.

Life is not easy at the moment.
You have options.
Firestick is your friend.
(Or other streaming device)
Every show, movie, documentary, every season, every episode that has ever been put on film for free......and 100% legal.

Wasting about 50 or so grams of coffee beans out of the new giant bag and 15 minutes or so of time to dial in grind maybe once a month for the espresso machine is such a pain.
Are you changing the bean type/brand for this to happen? We’ve been using the same bean for a few years to avoid just what you described.

Starbucks around my house, don't have just a French vanilla. I have to say... A hot venti latte with 3 pumps vanilla and 2 pumps hazelnut.

Id just like to say French vanilla. But they don't know what that means.

.....life is hard

When sitting outside smoking a pipe, I have to sit facing West early in the day and facing East later in the day to keep the sun out of my eyes.
Facing West is pretty boring, just woods. Facing East has a pond were there is always something going on.....and woods beyond that.
Wear a hat !

I've ordered the same beans and on my third bag since getting my machine - the grind has needed a touch of adjustment for each of the new bags - nothing crazy, it's been just a tiny bit either way, barely move the dial, but I was surprised even across the same brand (been using Crema Wave) how sensitive it can be. Been fun learning this the past few months.

Amazon delivery driver rang the doorbell and interrupted my nap. I mean damn if you need to have human contact go 50 yards to the office and deliver it to my daughter, she'll make sure her mother gets it.

I just want the Brioche bun to effing die. When we go out to eat the number one sandwich criteria is what sandwich/burger doesn’t have a shiny, greasy roll. I’ll eat a burger on Wonder bread before I eat another Brioche bun. The pretzel bun can go to hell too.

MAN! It felt good to get that out! 😂
How do you really feel though. 🤣
