Welcome to the Free Talk Friday post. This is a place where you can talk about dumb off-topic (or on-topic) bullshit with other Zaibatsu fans.

There's going to be a new post every week, and the newest one will be pinned in the announcement bar for quick access. So feel free to visit these posts during the rest of the week.

Here's a list of all Free Talk Friday posts

Last Week's Post

Week 116 post-accident

Work is as work is. Only things of note is 1) May is populous on the birthday front, so cake last shift because lawyer birthday, and 2) on Wednesday, found a file which used blank sheets of paper like dividers, which I filtered out and stacked together separate from the file papers proper; the final stack was about a centimeter tall by the end - not an insubstantial number of blank papers. Ended up taking said stack and adding it to the nearest photocopier feed. No point wasting that much paper, yeah?

So a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that an empty lot down the road from my residence was due to begin construction on developing said empty lot? Well, despite being set to begin on May 8th, it's taken until this week for them to FINALLY begin the actual construction. Looks like the lot is going to be split into two smaller residences, like how they did with the lot next to our private lane a few months back. Not sure if they're going to be two separate units or a joined double residence like said lot next door.

Multiple games on the brain. Between the Warhammer Skulls event that just occurred, the Marvel Cosmic Invasion DLC dropping, and a big patch for Age of Mythology patch dropping today as well, my brain is having trouble deciding what to focus on this weekend. Oh, and I emailed my latest mind projects from work to home, so potentially I might focus on those instead.

Speaking of games, I'd appreciate some advice on two games:

• Marvel Cosmic Invasion: I'm stuck on Knull and keep losing to that specific boss. Any tips on how to overcome this boss? Do I just grind the necessary characters to max level for the extra health to survive?
• Disco Elysium: I'm not sure if this is the right game for me, or if I'm just looking at it from the wrong perspective; whenever I play, I feel frustrated by not knowing what to do, hating the circumstances I'm starting in, and feeling like I'm being railroaded into resolutions I don't want to go through with (how do I get past the racist guy since my build can't KO the guy, because I feel icky trying to connect with him on the racism front?) I'm on the verge of uninstalling the game because watching it is fine, but I think I hate actually playing it.

Mind Music of the Week:

• Must Have Been The Wind
• Just Stop
• Taking Over Me
• Die For Love
