Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell – Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
Got my freighter on this save. Nice workin’ man’s B-Class with a Korvax first mate. Also, got my first ever Sentinel Interceptor. Just a humble C-Class, so my fighter’s better when fully fitted out. Probably just admire it in the hangar until I find a better one or upgrade it someday. The salvage quest was cool, though. Ship collecting is an addiction. I forgot how much fun this game can be. Always another hill to climb 🔭
Quite a time to be alive, to be sure. Implications and doom and collapse and all that. That’s all I gotta say about any of it. People didn’t want to hear what I had to say when it would have mattered. Punished constantly for trying to make a positive difference. I see no reason to offer comment now. Reap what you have sown and you’re all welcome to it.
So, I’m optimizing this cloud-bound corporate spaghetti monstrosity of an OS because I like for things to be ‘just so,’ and I’m looking for the basic but seemingly absent OS feature of putting a fucking clock on the fucking desktop, and I discover, to my boundless derision and unending amusement, that you apparently have to download a third-party widget app to get a simple desktop clock. The only other option is the tiny bitch in the corner squished by the giant notification panel that no one looks at like ever.
So, I bought a battery-operated wall clock. If Mars attacks and the grid goes poopsticks, I, alone, will know the time. I will be the time king and you will all make obeisance to me for the secret temporal knowledge that I possess. Don’t need no downloads. Don’t need no permissions. Don’t need no login. I can look at the wall, at my timeless plastic analog clockface, and mission accomplished. God damn the twenty first century is stupid.
I’ll leave the song there as a reminder for myself regarding the particulars of the calendar. Six hours of sleep in the last three days. Starting to see shit that ain’t there crawling around in the corners of my eyes 😆
