Considering it's just a music video, I wasn't expecting Marvel-levels of de-aging. Michael Douglas in Ant-Man and Samuel L. Jackson in Captain Marvel are still the best examples of de-aging done near-flawlessly, imo. I agree that the song would work just as well with his current voice throughout. The video wouldn't, though, as that would only increase the uncanny valley effect. 😅         I need to take back my evenings, and that means toning down all the chess. I have quit all but two of the teams I was on at chess.com, I haven't joined any new matches in a while, and I'm dialing down the amount of vote chess matches I play - since one of the teams I'm on is starting far too many of them. I *love* vote chess, because it provides excellent learning opportunities, but too much is too much. I've quit all the matches I was on that had a 24-hour voting period (which halved all the vote chess matches I was in), and I'm no longer joining any with less than 3 days of voting. I'm hoping this will go a long way to get my match count back down to more manageable levels.   I also urgently need to start moving again. I may have joked about it earlier, but I have now actually put an alarm in my phone with Electric Callboy's "Pump It" as the ringtone. Hopefully that gets me doing mini-workouts again.       Yesterday I was listening to some of the bands that'll be on Alcatraz. The kids are starting to pick up which bands will be to my liking, and which won't. And I got a remark: "are you going to *all* the bands that use bagpipes or an accordion?". Yes, I probably am. 😎 That'll be Korpiklaani, Finntroll and Feuerschwanz (at the least - there may be others I don't know yet, I've just started my prep work - although those three don't really need prep work). But because they've heard me play Alestorm's "Drink" often - Alestorm were at Alcatraz last year - and because I had listened to Korpiklaani yesterday, I also got a "are those bands only making songs about drinking???". Yes, pretty much. 🤣 But it's FUN!!! 🤘   So here's one about vodka. The band is Finnish and their English is questionable, but man, how this is a party song!!!   Korpiklaani - Vodka

Oh I wish!   Nice work on the spring cleaning, even washing the curtains! Impressive. I don't even own curtains lol. (Except for a blackout one)

Wednesday, 17 April  Charisma: It was a general strike day (I can't go on strike because I'm technically a freelance worker) so pretty slow. People wanted to leave early and I was invited to after work drinks, so point for socializing. Had an online D&d session later in the evening, which meant takeout for dinner, so no cooking points and no extra charisma point since that wasn't in person. Also no workout because of that. Which is probably for the best, because I woke up pretty sore this morning.

Yesterday I tackled the basement to make room for my bike. And then I felt sick from breathing in all the dust and took a rest, but the "rest" ended up taking the rest of the day. Womp womp. I started a book and played "Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion".   Today   - Gym - More basement? - Find the electronics recycling  - Website - Hopefully something else from the list

LOL sugar packets.    I can use whatever excuse - she thinks I'm a terrible child who goes to discos all the time anyway. 🤣 Never mind it's 10 am on a Tuesday.

This.  

I think it's pretty much mandatory in Sweden where I grew up. 

Have to say I disagree, most of the time it looks like still photos with a moving lower face. Zero expression or movement in the eyes. Interesting use of VFX and AI though, kudos to him for that. Though I think the song would work just as well with his current voice throughout. It's a nice song.

Hey , how are you doing? Been a while since we heard from you.

been there. Sucks losing talk time but I still prefer it over the 60 mins of commuting round trip.    last time I BG1’d, i did a Druid and I didn’t mind the sprite options for the class.
