Currently, my office is my couch with my laptop on my coffee table and my keyboard on my lap–along with my cat sometimes. Such as right now. He is standing on my knees (on top of my faux fur throw) and staring at the vicinity of my face. I don’t know why he’s not sleeping or lying down, but he is energetically licking his fur. Probably because I just fed him. I expect he’ll curl up in a ball in a few minutes and take his tenth nap of the day.
He is sniffing the air as I eat my lunch-which includes mayo and grilled chicken. Now, he’s loafing on my lower legs and probably about to fall asleep. I love this about autumn; he wants to get nice and cozy. In the spring and summer, he fucks off and does his own thing. Which is fine as well, but I do like a warm cat on my legs. He is a short-haired cat, but he gets nice and fluffy in the winter.
I have a computer room. I got a swank desktop in order to play Elden Ring, which was really smart. They drop the specs for the PC less that two weeks before the game was released (ten days, I think), which was not nice of them. They don’t care about their PC players, though, and never have. When Dark Souls came out, PC players petitioned for a year to get the game on PC (there is no PC port for Demon’s Souls, sadly). When the port finally came out, it was, as the kids say, hot trash. It was nigh unplayable. Thanks to a modder, durante, dsfix was born. That’s the saving grace of PC gaming–you can mod the hell out of anything. He made it so the game ran smoothly and did not freeze-stutter all over the place. I tried running it without dsfix and it was horrid. I think he ended up with a job in the industry because of the dsfix? Or that might be an urban legend. But he is a god among men for saving Dark Souls: Prepare to Try and we will always praise his name.
