That's a bummer. Oh well, two weeks isn't that long of a wait. (Better not be a 'Special Mission' chapter though...)

2021 Baseball Season AKA Pandemic Baseball: The Second Wave
dr. b replied to dr. b's topic in Sports
I can see the Yankees losing again today to Tampa, but the Nats are up against Chris Sale. That game seems pretty hopeless to me I do like the chances for Seattle and Toronto to win though. The O’s and Angels aren’t very tough competition. Toronto and Seattle wins would create a 3-way tire for the second Wild Card spot if New York loses. I’ll be shocked if Boston loses though. -

That is terrible news. I don’t even know what to say anymore… I’m very sorry for your loss. -
The jungles are behind me now. Didn’t take as long as I thought it would.

I am in the jungles of Act III now. This has always been my least favourite part of the game, though the first few areas of Act V give the jungles a run for their money... I'm gonna try to power through the dumb jungles this afternoon. It's all better once I hit... whatever area comes after the jungles... Lower Kurast? It's been so long.

No thanks Blue Jays! Pretty incredible though that the O’s won that series with Boston. -
Aquatope #13 — I was feeling pretty bummed out from the Blue Jays’ loss. The start of this episode really cheered me up. New OP is great. I like the new girl in marketing with Kukuru. Everybody’s back in the aquarium Then it took a turn and I started getting bummed out again. “Nastiness” is right Reminds me of some folks I have the misfortune of working with… but then that final scene made everything better That was pretty damn perfect.

Yeah I saw that Also just saw the news that Ohtani is done pitching for the year, so the M’s don’t have to face him on the weekend. Nice bit of luck for Seattle. -

Yeah that’s wild. 14-4 against the A’s, maybe they’ll make it 15-4 tonight. I think we can count out the A’s from the WC race now. Then the M’s close the season against LAA and they’re 10-6 against them so far this year. Definitely a good chance to play themselves into the WC game. Toronto absolutely has to win tonight and tomorrow vs. NYY or the season is basically over. Seattle seems like they will keep winning games, and I can’t rely on Baltimore to beat Boston again. Boston has a very weak schedule this week. I’ll be shocked if they lose their WC spot, though I have been expecting them to collapse for weeks now… -

Here comes the Mariners!!! -
Those are some cool tracks. Great guitar playing in the second one. I’m working late tonight and listening to Cannonball Adderley. The song title feels appropriate.

Squeenix stuff is on sale on the eShop. I'm pretty tempted to snag FF Crystal Chronicles Remastered for $16 Canadian funbux

Oh yeah, Alberta needs external help for sure. I saw in the news a week or so ago that BC already said they cannot help with ICU space, and Alberta's other neighbour (Saskatchewan) is doing no better. They might be medevac'ing patients from Alberta to Ontario. When Ontario was hurting really bad during one of the previous waves, other provinces gave us support... so I guess we have to return the favour now. Meanwhile, over in Quebec, thousands of nurses could be suspended on Oct. 15th for refusing to get vaccinated. Not sure how their healthcare system is going to manage losing that many nurses all at once. Fun times! The situation isn't so bad in Ontario right now... but I can only imagine what things could be like if/when it gets worse again. -

They’re still struggling out in Western Canada. Government still isn’t doing a heck of a lot in response -
Neru -- New character seems cool. Hunter's Guild -- I didn't find this week's chapter particularly interesting, so here's hoping for more excitement next week. Still gotta read chapter #2 of PPPPPP.

They better be. These will be must-win games from both team’s perspectives. It will be disappointing if the Jays come up short this year. They’ve gotten such incredible performances from Ray and Semien. They’re both on one-year deals and will probably have teams lining up to pay them this winter. I’m not sure if the Jays can retain both guys and still afford to sign/extend their younger guys in the coming years when their rookie deals are up. I hope they can at least keep Ray. The Cards are annoying but I have to admit that this win streak has been impressive. -
One of my all-time fav Lips tracks. Play it as loud as possible and just let the song wash over you

I ought to know to wait until after they’re in bed before I try to do anything… Got back into it for a bit after things quieted down in the apartment here. Zipped through most of Act 1. Just the boss quest is left. I’m not going to stay awake long enough to get through The Jail and Catacombs tonight, so that’s a job for tomorrow.

Aw yeah, we cleaned out that Den of Evil Then my annoying children came and ruined my fun

To be fair to yer friend, I think there are plenty of very reasonable, pro-vaccine women out there that are reluctant to take the vaccine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. People want to see more evidence that the vaccine will not somehow negatively impact the babies. There hasn't been enough time to study that yet, I don't think. People are being told it's safe for pregnant women, but I can understand why they might want to scrutinize that more carefully. -
