Bonehealing and other stuff

Two more weeks. It's been six so far and apparently I'm healing slow. There could be a real, identifiable reason for that which I will be investigating. In the meantime I wear the Aircast boot for a little longer, but not when I'm at home. It's neat that we have something this useful, but not that it barely holds together in some places. Modern medicine is complicated.

I have a box of computer components which have little value to me. Video cards are annoying. You'll get the latest beast only to find yourself outpaced within a period of months or years. Progress is nice, but this is why consoles are comforting. The age of the Nintendo Switch does not diminish how much fun it is, and legacy hardware has always been one of the strengths of gaming.

Chasing raycast light trails is a worthwhile endeavor, but of no value to the masses until your toaster can do it. Technology so advanced yet mundane because it is common. That's the secret, of course: a wide open field. I find it ironic that we're so busy trying to do something correctly after cheating for so long. It makes me think of Goku's second great power jump in Dragon Ball Z. He keeps ratcheting his power from 5000 to astronomical and the comment is "Do you know how much power it takes to do that?"

This is where we're at. We're under so much stress culturally because of all the effort it takes to maintain the status quo and flexibility we enjoy. It is what it is and I'll always say "focus on good things". I am quick to say that gaming is good, but let us be mindful that it's not the thing, its the behavior around the thing that matters.

Like all this noise about the Choco Taco. The treat doesn't matter. It's what we felt about it, the choices we made and time we spent with others we love and cared about. We make things matter and that's the point.
