Got jabbed in the eye with one end of a flatten cardboard box 30 minutes before I left work yesterday. Donāt ask how it happen, but someone who wasnāt me wasnāt paying attention and it just happened. I managed to drive home despite only using one eye.
I got home and laid in bed, explained the situation to the S.O and just rested. Woke up around 9:30 PM, eye still hurts. Ate something before I took something I had prescribed for a completely separate injury which nullified the pain and helped me sleep.
Woke up, eye isnāt 100% back to normal yet but itās more than halfway now. Fortunately I have the next two days off.

My sympathies. When I was 15 or 16, the kid who lived next door was screwing around and hit me in the eye with a rock he threw. And I donāt mean the area around my eye; like you, my actual eyeball was struck. Worst pain I ever felt. I actually said and did some things while in the state of agony-fueled rage it put me in that I regretted later. But I had a similar issue for the rest of the day, where there was a smudge on my vision in that eye. It actually made the moon look weird that night, and had me worried that it might have permanently affected my vision. Fortunately, it cleared up within 24 hrs. So yeah, I can easily picture what youāre going through. Again, my sympathies.

My brother in law used to be a mechanic and managed to walk into a pipe that was loaded onto a truck bed. The pipe (which was about 1/2 or 3/4 inches wide) scratched his eye in a way that required extensive surgery and he was 95%+ blind in that eye for the rest of his life. I would get it checked out if I were you. Better safe than sorry.

Dude your vision isnāt anything to gamble with. Go to an urgent care or your doc!!
I aināt saying youāre not a tough guy, but eyes are hard to fix and the earlier an issue is found the better.

Fortunately for me my eye is back to normal now. I was holding off on going anywhere unless the pain persisted more than a day.

Iām currently animating the final third of my new SASO cartoon. It feels unreal to be at this stage since itās been delayed a lot by work, school, and this week: jury duty. Anyway, Iām hoping to post it on the 26th. Fingers crossed nothing else gets in the way

Iāve been summoned for jury duty! Yes, I didnāt think Iād ever be summoned! I wonāt qualify because of my proximity to and education in law enforcement, but still, I can hope!

Jury dutyā¦ Sounds about as fun as following the HPPs. j/k
Just the other day I spotted a letter from the local courthouse amongst some other papers. I thought āThat looks importantā and when I looked inside I remembered it was a notice that said I could be called in to be chosen for jury duty. Got it about 2 or 3 months ago. I still havenāt been nor heard anything back (Thank God!). I opted for a physical letter to be delivered since I only check my email about once every 2 weeks or so. Or it might go to my Spam folder, then Iād be in trouble or something for not appearing for jury selection.
Edit: Just to be clear. It instructed me to go to a website and answer some question - of which I did. I didnāt forget and suddenly find it.

I got called a couple months back and was able to postpone it by 3 or 6 months (I canāt remember) so I may be getting that summons again soon. Where I live the first delay is auto granted and after that you better be in prison or hospital

Itās finally snowing again.
I like snow, mostly, unless itās too windy then its just a hassle to be outside with.
The best kind of snowfall is when thereās very little wind, and you just get a bunch of snow falling to the ground, delicately, like it is right now.
Itās really pretty

It sounds like you should take a vacation to Boston or Chicago or NY. Wait till it snows. Go for a night or two, and get the hell back to Arizona before you freeze from the cold.

Everybody enjoys the snow until they have to shovel it.

After starting back in October, today I finally finished up replaying all of the Hitman 3 escalations on my alt account, most of them for the first time since they came out. This means that Iāve now completed everything possible thatās Hitman 3-specific on that account (plus every Year 2 ET Silent Assassin). There are several observations I have after doing them all:
-
The Deluxe Escalations were a lot better than I remembered. I had a lot of fun with them, even if they were a bit basic. Iād forgotten how fun the Satu Mare Delirium was, and I like how most of them had something unique like the target in the cable car in the Lee Hong Derivation and The Blade Hungers complication in the Proloff Parable.
-
The 7 Deadly Sins were a lot better than I remembered. I donāt consider any of them as bad now:
-
I thought Greed was God-awful when it came out, but I liked it a lot more this time around, even though it glitched when I KOed 2 targets instead of killing one before KOing the other so I didnāt get the full amount of coins and needed to do the third level all over again.
-
Envy was the most infuriated Iāve ever been at these games when I first played it because I had a hard time SASOing it, but this time around I did every level SASO first try. I donāt know if I subconsciously remembered the winning strategy I used the first time or Iām just more experienced at the game now.
-
I was surprised to like Sloth a lot more, I remembered it being pretty mediocre but I had a good amount of fun doing it. I really like the early morning fog look the map has. However, itās kinda weird that the āadditional objectives will be revealed as you complete themā complication is labelled as optional when itās not, I assume this came about when they made the ET Arcade complications optional.
-
Wrath was the only one of the sins that went down a bit in my eyes upon replaying it. I forgot how formulaic it is to just throw melee items at the inhibitors, KO one of them, and then take the time to turn on all the distractions in the house and gather up all the melee items. I didnāt even bother with the water barrels or gas canisters. The escalation really couldāve used some sort of unlockable āfree for allā mode after you beat it where you get access to your whole arsenal to fight the enemies (I know some people have theorized theyāll do something that for Freelancer). I did have one proud moment playing it when I managed to snipe two of the inhibitors who were running by the far gate from the front balcony with the terrible Bartoli Woodsman Hunting Rifle. Itās kinda dumb they still have the staff locker you can unlock which has a disguise thatāll fail the mission if you put it on. I also donāt know why the button to start the next wave early is up in Alexaās office, when it takes so long to run up and down the floors you might as well just wait and meet them at the ground floor. I think I put it in the middle when I ranked the sins last year, but now Iād say Wrath probably the weakest of the bunch, which is a shame given how much they changed the map for it.
-
I thought most of the 7 Deadly Sins suits were hideously ugly in the past, but now all of them have grown on me and I think they all look at least decent (yes, even the Lotophage Suit)
-
It was so refreshing when I played an escalation that let you choose a loadout given how insanely common the Restricted Loadout & No Disguise Changes complications are in 3ās escalations.
-
It bugs me that The Dartmoor Garden Show appears after the main mission escalations, but The Berlin Egg Hunt appears before the main mission escalations. I guess itās because the Dartmoor Garden Show has contracts?
-
It also bugs me that the escalation Track 1 and Track 2 challenges appear in every map that has escalations, including the Hitman 3 ones, even though the Hitman 3 escalations donāt count at all toward those tracks. I wonder if they were originally going to do an escalation Track 3 for completing Hitman 3 escalations but never bothered because the majority of them are paid and have rewards included already.
-
The Sebastian Principle is probably the weirdest escalation in the whole trilogy. It came out about 5 years after the first escalation in Hitman 2016 was released. All through that time, they didnāt feel that escalations needed a tutorial, yet for some reason they thought they needed one for Hitman 3. It isnāt even a proper āescalatingā escalation. It follows the formula of most of the Hitman 3 escalations where each level is different from the previous one. It doesnāt teach about the formula where the new level is similar to the previous one with added complications, which is how the majority of escalations across the trilogy work. I guess it teaches about how to pull off various kill methods, even though the ICA Facility already teaches every major kill method except for sniper rifles. However, I will say I love the zoom in to the starting location at the restaurant balcony and would like to have that as a proper starting location for other missions (I think itāll probably be used in Freelancer).
-
If there is a Year 3, I wouldnāt be opposed to them releasing new escalations throughout the year. I still would like to see Ambrose Island get one, itās the only map that doesnāt have any. There werenāt any escalations I played that I thought were downright bad. The Halliwell Fable gave an interesting new feature with complications that were optional, it would be interesting to see that used in other escalations.
