I'm not a big follower of pop culture, but I do like checking out the crazy outfits the rich 'n famous wear to award shows.

Kanye's +1 Censori showed up in such a transparent dress she was all but naked. No detail was left to the imagination. A lot of news outlets censored images of Censori, which is just hilarious.

I recived my 8Bitdo Pro 2 Bluetooth Controller last night. The Hall Effect joysticks feel like they slightly higher resistance, which is nice and precise. The only thing I don't like about the controller are the back buttons; it has two of them right above each handle and they can be very easily pressed by accident, so I haven't mapped anything to them. I kinda want to glue them down flush witht the handle, so I don't feel them anymore.

I woke up this morning, took care of my dog, made an iced coffee, and began playing SMB2. WTH? I haven't played games in the early morning (5:30am) in years. I usually read the news in a fog until I wake up, even on my days off. I'm playing games like I did in the 90s. A proper return to form.  Happy

"⁠New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe - 18.06M"

That's kind of surprising. I wonder how many copies is sold on the Wii U?

Well, my new doctor, a nice vietnamese man, prescribed me two months worth of an epilepsy drug that the pharmacist put me thorugh 20 questions and lots of side eye before he gave it to me.

It's a drug they give people with epilepsy to stop convulsions with high pshychological and physical addiction risk. It's explicitly not reccomened for my condition in two research papers I've read and Pfizer was sued for hundreds of millions of dollars for illegally marketing it!.

What could possibly go wrong? :

Pretty sure half a bottle of tequila would have been a better sleep aid.

Paper 1:

"There is moderate- to high-quality evidence that anticonvulsants are ineffective for treatment of low back pain or lumbar radicular pain. There is high-quality evidence that gabapentinoids have a higher risk for adverse events."

Paper 2: (CLBP = Chronic lower back pain)



"Existing evidence on the use of gabapentinoids in CLBP is limited and demonstrates significant risk of adverse effects without any demonstrated benefit. Given the lack of efficacy, risks, and costs associated, the use of gabapentinoids for CLBP merits caution. "

Not sure what an epilepsy drug will do for back pain. Which drug?

surgery not an option?

That why we call him Dr. Vader. The street drugs I were prescribed did nothing.

That's why I have not been around much. No drugs help. Went to a physio therapist and he gave me some exercises to do, which have been extremely effective, including accupressure. Long story. Any way. not sure if this is just pain releif (the accupressure takes it away) or actual healing, but I will stick with it.  For now I have a ten month supply of "Gabbies" as they are known on the street, so should be a lucrative side hussle Happy

Playing Spiritfarer, and it is working out. Like it still motivates me to play.

Is it too late for you to sue Pfizer instead? Sounds even more lucrative.

It's easy to get what you need to take with gabbies from other nice Vietnamese people a couple of blocks away from my house to improve its pain relief (and other) qualities. His mistake was not prescribing you some of them, as well!

Get both! Nyaa

I would have preferred a SNES one with purple concave and convex buttons, but they don't have one, sadly.

I think it sold like 2 million copies. You got to remember just how badly the Wii u sold. I think it was less 15 million units? We're talking less than 10% of what the switch has sold. From that perspective, it was definitely a no-brainer to try and get every game they released on it ported over to the switch.
