Aug. 10th, 2025 03:32 pmIt seems the number of things that are out of stock on the Giant website are on the increase. We managed to deal with it this weekend without my having to make another run to Wegmans, but that's likely only going to get worse with the tariffs coming in. (I think. We don't really order anything from Giant that isn't from the U.S., but I'm still not quite sure how those things work...)
With this weekend still being cooler than next week is going to be, I also made a run to the local small bookshop yesterday and finally got myself a copy of Tusk Love. I found it among the books recommended by the staff, complete with an assurance you don't have to have seen Critical Role to enjoy it. It still feels like this piece of defictionalization has escaped containment with how successful it's been.
I also played a lot of Sims 4 this weekend. I got Cassandra Goth married to Travis Scott, and the stress of real life weddings is certainly reflected in how difficult it can be to get a wedding ceremony to work remotely the way it's supposed to in that game. I left off today having successfully pulled off the ceremony activities, but there's no timer and it's not ending and I'm now thinking I'm going to have a real problem whenever I resume.
