I was a bit miffed that we mostly had so-so weather solidly below 20°C for the most part of our vacation. In retrospect, maybe that was a good thing.
The temperature shock coming back wasn't great, though.
I'm on my way back home. I managed to somewhat limit my daily news intake during the vacation, but that hope that you log off, then come back and the world didn't regress further while you ignored it, that's not going to work for a while i…

(No need to worry, I'm okay, I drink enough and I am trying everything in my power to cool down. I'm just observing…
For a few hours, it actually got colder in my flat. Now, in the glaring sun (Facing south, ideal, really) temps are going up again. Still having high hopes for the coming night but boy oh boy am I not looking forward to the next heat wave.…
To close off June (and with that, the 50% mark of this year's WeeklyBeats), I went with a more familiar (to me!) genre:

I think from now on I want to continue without the genre blocks. It …
(Right now I'm dreading the day one of my machines die. I do have a bit of old surplus and I am for the life of me not selling any of that right now.)
Honestly I'm mostly surprised Valve is trying at all. The price might actually be "okay" given the market. But yeah, no.
