π€ 2nd Person Gameplay π€
Presently laying in bed, watching a PS5 saved game from Cyberpunk 2077 (PL) being played on a Nintendo Switch 2 β and seeing the graphics quality and frame rate remain impressive throughout heavy fire-fights. It's taking him a bit to adjust reaction fluidity from the PS5 controller to the Switch 2's gyroscopic features, but overall the game looks amazing on this mobile platform!
I sure do love this type of gaming, for me it's like campaign viewing all the time, plus observations and opinions on plot choices. It's my favorite for immersive games (Bethesda everything, CDP-Red, Mass Effect, etc) feeling reminiscent of an interactive movie series. also relationship together-time is so much better than someone playing alone wherever in the same house.

Sometimes, after a long or stressful day, retreating to sit and relax in bed, often my thoughts drift back to riding in The Headlands - most recently spring 2017, and reaching back to the early 2000s.
It wasn't just the memory, but the feeling of the endless pulse where every moment is beautiful, every hill climb is perfect, and you never want to stop. Six days per week, 1000kcal per ride on moderate days, every perfect morning a perfect sunrise.

π Guten Morgen Chicago π
Another beautiful sunrise from the shores of Lake Michigan, which seems more like one of the Great Inland Seas. Every morning, watching these sunrises the likes of which I've not seen since childhood on the Eastern Seaboard, feels like being at the Atlantic ocean.
How about some science curiosity...
> During the middle Pleistocene era, the area now submerged under the Great Lakes had been a lowland river system. As glaciers advanced and retreated they carved these areas into the Great Lakes and filled them as they melted.
> The preservation of fossils in Michigan resumed when the last glaciers withdrew from the state. Between 17,000 and 13,000 years ago, much of Michigan's icy covering had disappeared.
> After the glaciers melted much of the state was covered in large lakes made of glacial meltwater. By 10,000 years ago many of these lakes had dried. Forests of spruce and fir grew on the newly exposed terrain.
> - The Pleistocene (plaΙͺstΙΛsiΛn), referred to colloquially as the Ice Age, is the geological epoch that lasted from c. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.
>
> - The Cenozoic Era (siΛnΙΛzoΚ.Ιͺk, lit. 'new life') is Earth's current geological era, representing the last 66 million years of Earth's history.

The first rays of dawn pierce the atmospheric veil, coriolis shifting into -30C windchill, illuminating a new path etched in the finality of sol's thermal rays.

π Lineage & Location π
Until very recently I never knew that my genetic grandmother had moved to Chicago, fell in love, and started a family. Prior to all of that she was certainly not in Chicago but somewhere entirely different, in a hospital, where she had to give my mother up for adoption.
Some decades later the story will unfold as her granddaughter moves to the same city, with a similar set of eyes, looking towards a new direction and renewed set of goals.
