Today I got a strange text message from an unknown number advertising a free online comedy class with absolutely no information that would help me attend that had I been interested in doing so.

Xiao banner: *gives Diluc*
Qiqi: Let's go somewhere cooler.

Me: Can I have Xiao?
Wallet: We have Xiao at home.

It's almost as if the "My Precious" achievement wasn't really designed with an overbuilt max level character with a long duration huge area of effect damage ability in mind. (I fire a few charged shots but none of them hit anything because all the enemies die before I can aim at them)

For those who can't tell what's going on, Klee's elemental skill, Jumpy Dumpty bounces right through the boss, leaving behind a minefield on the other side (the boss blocks it from view, but trust me, it's there). When the boss does its next attack it runs its flower head weak point right into those mines, taking pyro AoE damage, making the boss vulnerable and popping a recently added achievement.

Klee can help.

Do you want me to do the quest or not, Lan?

When do we get to ride the Ruin Guards? #GenshinImpact

What does the cat do if she gets stuck to something when I'm not home? She must figure it out instead of just asking me to detach her.

Tonight's co-op guest was a Childe/Bennett to go with my Ganyu/Qiqi (Qiqi sometimes replaced with Klee). We were both just killing time but they helped me get a few chests that I hadn't found yet and I got the achievement for co-oping a pyro regisvine even though I don't think either of us took the reward for that. They seemed like a pretty good player and the whole thing was just wholesome chill. #GenshinImpact

There's a cat on me.

Well, looks like Xiao is a skip for me after all. I wasn't enthusiastic about that character to start with, but his try out event had me thinking yeah, that's a fun character I would play with but I won't whale for him. Was near pity on both character and weapon banners and ended up with the sword (which will make my Qiqi even tankier, yeah!) and another Diluc (who I don't play), but that means a guaranteed Keqing or Hu Tao so I'm good with that. #GenshinImpact

Getting strange friend requests on Playstation from randos with no games. Delete.

Well, it looks like the beg post on the blog worked. Another donation came in that means I don't have to pay for the main typica.us server (not counting social, code, or video subdomains which are on different machines) out of pocket for the rest of the year. That means anything else that comes in during the year can be budgeted toward actual work on the software.

Ordered another ~1300ish pounds of coffee today, mostly decaf. Also got some coffee samples to run through the sample roaster later in the day.
