A photo of a tall platform up in the air with an orangutan sitting on it, with its arm crossed and what looks like a pale blue blanket or something pulled over its back and head.

Today we went to Perth Zoo, which to be honest was very underwhelming. We _did_ get to see an orangutan sitting with its arms crossed and a blanket or something over itself keeping an eye on everyone though. There was a also section with a bunch of those little monkeys in it, I don't remember what sort, but they were absolutely zooming around and yelling at each other, which was fun to watch. After that we wandered around the CBD a bit and then headed back home because we were pooped. I took a handful of photos but nothing amazing: https://www.flickr.com/photos/virtualwolf/albums/72177720320919517/

A photo of a bento box with teriyaki chicken, rice, a couple of pieces of sushi, some spinach and lettuce with a delicious and really light sesame kind of dressing, and a slice of blood orange.

A photo of four people sitting around a restaurant table: me, a man with a short red beard and short brown hair, @yayKM, a woman with short brown hair, @ohthyme, a clean-shaven man with glasses and somewhat short hair who is leaning his head on his girlfriend's shoulder, who is a woman with shoulder length dyed pink hair.

And tonight was absolutely incredible Japanese with @ohthyme and his lovely girlfriend!

A photo looking upwards at the outside of the Museum of Western Australia, with the old brick building that looks like it's from probably the late 1800s/early 1900s sitting below a modern building, but there's a big vertical gap between the two. Very Independence Day vibes.

A photo of a massive statue of... uh... one of the really long-necked herbivore dinosaurs that is a classic and everyone knows, whose name is escaping me right now. It has brown skin and is absolutely towering above the rest of the exhibits and people around it.

Today we walked to the art museum which was fantastic (I took some photos with the DSLR, processing will come later), and then went to the Museum of Western Australia which is REALLY good, and _massive_ and we didn't actually end up going fully through all of it because we wanted to get home and chill before heading out to see @ohthyme. There's a newer part built on top of an older building, and from street level it honestly looks like the new part is somehow hovering above the old, it's such a cool effect. Also, it's not a real museum unless it has a GIANT dinosaur, and this one definitely delivered.

A photo taken from my seat looking down the length of the plane, we've only just started boarding so there aren't many people on it yet.

We are on a plane! Off to Perth to see @burgerdrome and some other non-fedi friends.

A screenshot taken in Cyberpunk 2077 on the Xbox. It's a city street at night at ground level, looking across a pedestrian crossing towards a bunch of tall buildings rising up in the background, high contrast and lots of neon signs everywhere, and it's pretty much what you think of when you hear the term "cyberpunk".

Another screenshot, similar aesthetic as the first with some tall buildings in the background, but this feels decidedly dingier and much lower-rent. It's looking down into a set of shops below street level, with a big blue neon "HOTEL" sign in the middle and a bunch of cables crisscrossing the space above it, and there are some red Chinese-style lanterns hanging from the eaves of a building at the right.

Man, they've certainly done a fantastic job with the art direction for Cyberpunk 2077! Absolutely top-notch cyberpunk aesthetic right here. I'm very early-on in the game so I imagine it gets even better.

A screenshot of my Cyberpunk 2077 character. She's a Black woman with purple hair pulled up behind her head and the sides shaved, a bunch of piercings, and she's standing there with her arms crossed and a slight smirk on her face. In the background is an empty street curving away to the left.

Having forgotten about Cyberpunk 2077, and also having forgotten how to play it, I decided to start a new character and maybe actually play more than a couple of hours this time. Unfortunately the lack of being able to use a Southpaw control scheme means I'm absolutely ATROCIOUS at aiming at anything, so I'm playing on easy difficulty and will be primarily leaning on not actually shooting at stuff for this playthrough, hopefully it's not too frustrating — I have an extremely low tolerance for frustration at video games these days. (I can swap the control sticks around at the Xbox controller level, but that fucks things up in a bunch of other ways like navigating through menus, so I'm going to just have to see how it goes. For the love of $DEITY, game devs, JUST LET ME REMAP CONTROLS!)

A wide-angle photo of six people sitting around a somewhat messy music area in our office. I'm on drums, we have someone on bass guitar, two guitarists, a keyboardist, and a vocalist.

Yessss, jam session was excellent! We had a group of other people who were using the space just before us and some of them stayed back and ended up playing with us as well. I turned out to be the only drummer so only played that, but got some compliments on it which I was stoked about! Especially given that the other people were waaaay above my level in terms of guitar or bass skills, haha. They were actually playing some songs, none of which I had the remotest idea of how to play on drums and some of them which I hadn't even heard, but I was able to put down a good beat at the right speed and it worked out really well. We even ended up doing some bluesy-sounding thing at the end where I did a shuffle beat and it sounded fantastic!

A photo looking down Sydney's George St, with tram tracks in the middle, some trees just starting to come back into their greenery, tall buildings, and people walking around with umbrellas. The sky is grey and it's actively raining.

I'm in the city today for a doctor's appointment and also post-work jam session, and jesus CHRIST is it miserable.

A photo of three smiling people sitting at a restaurant table. There's me, a white man with short hair and a red beard that's in need of a trim, @yayKM, a white woman with short light brown hair, and @thewetmale, a white man with dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. In front of us are two roti tisu, which are huge cone-shaped sweet Malaysian desert things.

Most excellent to finally meet @thewetmale in person!
