Something I wonder all the time that is like not related to any blorbos but is still very fun for me to think about is if Central 46 has the equivalent of sending off the latest beloathed politician to be Provisional Governer-General of the worst post in Seireitei.
Like, one guy gets a lot of supporters behind him that the last directive from the Reio was actually a fake designed to supplant he and his allies, all devised by his rival (and like the directive doesn’t matter. It could be completely sound. This is all about the Spin) And that rival gets sent to bumfuck nowhere to hate his life for 50 years before they let him back in the Seireitei.
And you can simply imagine how fucking fun this made it for Aizen to commandeer the Central 46, let alone how easy it already was considering the multi-layers of shrouds hanging over every aspect of this governing body.
Also, imagine this dude who was sent to bumfuck nowhere is called back because Central 46 was slaughtered and they need a new council STAT. The utter whiplash. The vindication. The growing whistle of alarm sounding through his head as he packs up his life that’s honestly not so bad to go play in the political pit of vipers again. After all the old vipers got smashed by rocks.
He is not a blorbo but I think about him lmao.

REGARDING MY COMMISSIONS
Just wanna post regarding my commissions since I've been asked about it a few times. I replied I'll announce it when it's reopened and people might've felt hanging as that announcement post still wasn’t made for a while now; because I haven't reopened yet. ^^;
There’s a commission queue that gotten clogged up due to having to shift most of my attention on something that suddenly came up IRL. (Maybe I’ll mention what it was specifically in the future.) It was kinda financial thing too, and I underestimated the work to be done; so I thought it’s the better decision not to do refunds with intention to still finish the orders regardless.
Well turned out it was not the better decision. Everything’s only just’ve gotten significantly better last month so I'm getting a much better hold of the commission queue too. Though I have to refund two pieces because my laptop can’t handle the file size anymore.
I cannot stress how thankful I am to the patience of these clients! Pretty sure I'd getting an ass-whooping if I was less lucky. 😬
Maybe I’ll do mini commissions when I’m like 75% clear on the commission queue, things that will only take 3-5 days to complete, to help pay online debt faster. 🤔
So, yeah, I’ll announce when any commissions are up again! Thanks for reading!! If you’re one of the clients on the mentioned queue who hadn’t had their order completed and would like to ask for a refund as well, DM me and we’ll see what we can do!

On a more serious note, (i've been mostly thinking about it in relation to jarry) but im really not sure i like how the league penalizes teams with injuries - in this case the canes. If there is so little wiggle room that a few injuries on key players can completely transform the make up of a team's offense capabilities....it just feels unfair. There is currently zero wiggle room - we've seen it with goal tenders especially (except for that crazy pens game LOL) where the team has ONE highly skilled goalie and if the team gets unlucky they could be set back for months. It incentivizes playing while injured/not fully healed (i strongly suspect this is what keeps happening with jars). It puts teams in the position of you either get lucky and stay healthy for an entire season, OR decide to risk permanent injury for the sake of the team. Its not a new problem - i remember reading something similar in the books on detroit's cup winning team. But it seems like something that is reasonable to change to make player's lives less fraught.

Okay, so a Switch update, since I don't think I've done one on here
I got my baby back from that repair shop. As I was picking him up, they told me they straight up don't know what it is and that 'maybe it's the CPU or something'. That seemed bullshit, so I took him back home and decided to plug it into my computer. Turns out I had AutoRCM on the whole time (and I didn't check, what a genius /s, then again, I'm not a professional and they didn't notice it either, sooo). It was stuck in an AutoRCM boot loop the whole time. Pushing payloads works but neither Atmosphere nor Nyx (the GUI of Hekate) do. Hekate works but in text-only mode and some options seem to be missing.
After consulting people on a homebrew forum, we've narrowed it down to (most likely) some issue with the NAND. I was supposed to flash my backup but somehow that option is missing from Hekate. Tried to restore using NxNandManager but it crashes after less than a second. I'm starting to think my eMMC went ahead and died. In a way I kinda hope it's the case - the eMMC is a seperate module on the motherboard, it just snaps into place, no soldering required. The only problem is opening it up (I hate those Y screws so much, fuck you Nintendo <3) and if I ran into trouble with that, I'm sure the friendly misters from my local computer repair shop could deal with it for me, most likely for free. I could potentially order a new module (probably a ripoff one from Aliexpress, they aren't selling these here at all and Amazon only has one, no reviews no nothing, the Aliexpress ones at least have some reviews). Since I'm a good boy and did all my backups, I could flash them to a new eMMC chip and potentially revive the console.
Of course, there's a chance it's not the eMMC. I can't possibly check RAM in any way but it being faulty would kinda explain why Hekate works but its GUI doesn't. One graphics test payload I sent worked though, so I think Nyx using some NAND component that it can't load makes more sense. I think I might just take a chance and order the replacement part. It runs for about 60PLN and while it's not the cheapest, it's definitely way cheaper than getting a new patched Switch for some 1600PLN. I'll still wait for a reply from the guy who's helping me, I'm not gonna be too reckless.

Our power went out around 6:45pm after flickering every 10 minutes or so started at 5:30p. It came back twice in the 7oclock hour. It ultimately failed. We don't know when it'll be back up. Nick moved our fridge foods to the trunk of a car because at this rate the fridge will become warmer than the outside.
we're more prepared which felt nice what with having everything charged and having battery packs for charging electronics and way more nonperishables since this is a known problem in tx winters now.
This still sucks. This sucks so much. It isn't an ecot thing this time, it's the ice snapping branches and weighing down lines. And because this region isn't as prepared for ice storms that means it's pretty dangerous for power company employees to get to locations to make repairs.
I know we'll get through this, we got through worse. Just wish we didn't have this fear of losing power every winter. I grew up in Ohio where winter ice storms are normal and yeah sometimes you lose power but never long enough to risk our fucking fridge or worry about our pipes like we do living here. If I knew we'd be living with near yearly ice storms I'd have suggested we move back north years ago....

I really, really want to be excited about Luigi's Mansion 2 HD. I loved the original game and it was one of the first games that truly made me fall in love with console/handheld gaming. But I'm sorry. No extra content? A basic upscale that looks really bad next to Luigi's Mansion 3? $60 when the original never cost more $40??? This isn't a worthy port, this is a literal joke! This is looking like THE definitive example of a lazy, overpriced Nintendo rerelease. At least Skyward Sword HD had some quality of life and control improvements!
Yeah, if I ever do get this one, only on a huge sale. As a huge fan of the 3DS, I really hope whatever 3DS rereleases follow only go up from here, because especially compared to how good the Thousand-Year Door remake is looking (which I'm not even sure if that's fully worth $60, and last year's SMRPG remake definitely wasn't), this is just looking more and more like a total embarrassment.
