While I was working today I accidentally went down a rabbit hole of videos about the bleak future of job applications, and employment in general, with the inclusion of AI into the dystopian mix. It wasn’t a series of videos that filled me with joy I can tell you. Although I was glad that I will likely never have to apply for a job ever again. I always kind of thought that human resources lingo had kind of plateaued as far as the dystopian phraseology was concerned, but I was wildly incorrect. They are edging ever closer to simply describing workers as batteries that run the great machine that controls all of our lives…

I don’t have anything particularly interesting to talk about, but I did change the residents of my Animal Crossing island over the course of the last few weeks. I obtained the portrait of Kitt the kangaroo and Marty the bear cub, then switched them out for Twiggy the bird and Beardo the bear. Marty is one of the Sanrio crossover villagers and I really disliked him. My intention was for him to only live in town for a short time but I stopped playing for a while and it ended up being six years. I replaced him with Beardo because he’s so odd and creepy. He lived in my New Leaf town, and maybe some others, and I just decided he would be fun to switch out Marty with. Kitt I had no particular problem with I was just sick of her face. I switched her for Twiggy because the game remembers every villager who ever lives in your town, but now they can visit via the hotel and they will remind you if you talk to them. Twiggy was a day one villager but I never got her portrait because I wanted better villagers. So I let her move back in to get her portrait. After that she can move out again. I can’t remember my first few villagers anymore. Although I may have taken screenshots… I should look and see. Regardless I’m going to pay attention from here on out and move anyone back in who I missed getting a portrait for. Unless I accidentally happen upon one while visiting another island or something. It’s unlikely but it has happened before. I consider my other villagers permanent residents, so it’ll only be one or two changes at a time. In case your curious my current residents are: Ankha, Opal, Peggy, Raymond, Jaques, Marina, Celia, Twiggy, Beardo, and Sasha. I might actually let Celia move out, even though I like her design a lot, just because I’d like more new faces. Or maybe old faces I like better. Sasha is also up for debate since I don’t love his personality type. Marina is also potentially on the move out list, but there aren’t many octopi villagers and I’ve already had the two best in town before. Inkwell isn’t a choice anymore either as far as I know. So that’s a pool of 4 with Octavian, Marina, Cephalabot, and Zucker. I think it’s the smallest animal group in the game. The new splatoon villagers are squirrels, I think.

Anyway, I haven’t done much besides work and wander around with mom, so I don’t have a lot to report. I hope your Monday starts off a nice week. I’ll see you on Wednesday again. Until then, may the crystal guide you.
