Palworld
I’ve never seen a game be so addictive to so many types of gamers so quickly… I’d rather grind ore and wood with my Pals than steal cashouts with the current The Finals meta, which is kind of all I was doing until last week.

Lost in a Thai Forest
Well, the forest behind the English Program building at my uni, anyway.

Just before the new provincial art project statue thingy bridging the halves of the old MSU campus. Said thingy will probably be the subject of a future post.

Solution: The FINALS Error Code TFAV1012
It seems that EAC doesn’t like any hardware changes, because after I turned XMP on in BIOS, I started getting this error and others that caused crashes on startup and even during matches. “An internal anti-cheat integrity check failed.” I don’t cheat, and neither do many of the others seeing this message.

Old Tom and the Law of the Tongue
Yesterday, I was still recovering from a cold I came down with at the end of the year, so I had a good excuse to put off work and feverishly surf old RSS feeds. I ended up stumbling across the best Wikipedia article I’d seen for ages: Killer whales of Eden, New South Wales I want to start in reverse chronological order. New South Wales, Australia, is home to the Eden Whale Festival, which celebrates the southern migration of the humpback and other whales.
