If I have to hear "Mori No Chiisana Restaurant" one more time, I'm gonna lose my shit

Remember when Vine was a thing? That was a good social media platform. Just 6 seconds to do something creative, fun, or hilarious. Not nearly enough time to convince the geriatrics that vaccines cause autism... It was a simpler time

Tired of looking at green (bad) musk cloud. Can't wait to look white (good) musk cloud.

Can't believe it's been 9 months since I had to say goodbye to this cheeky little girl. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. I miss that sweet little angel so much

Maybe this is a Boomer thing to say, but I miss old YouTube and by extension, old internet. I have fond memories surfing old YouTube, watching small-time skits, and feeling like anything I could ever want to learn how to do was at my fingertips. It's all algorithmic manipulation now...

I love the late summer weather. The 72F breeze feels so good

I've been a technical professional for 10 years and my new job I signed an offer letter for is asking to see my High School transcripts. Wtf? Now I have to request a copy and who knows how long that'll take...

I finished Death Stranding 2 a few days ago, and for the most part, I thought it was great. I can't help but feel it wasn't challenging enough though and a little disappointing. I got the trike and the truck vehicles very early on, so I kinda felt like I breezed through every challenge.

So sad about Jujubes candy being discontinued. One of my favorite candies :(

Some people might think this is a pain in the ass, but I kinda love it when a video game makes me pull out a pen and paper for notes. Something very satisfying about it. Bonus points if I need to do some calculations on it

@timheidecker.bsky.social I have a Cinco product for you, Tim: The B'Hive - a live beehive you wear on your head. A straw feeds you honey from it, and you need to remove 4 teeth so the straw can rest comfortably in your mouth at all times. Happy B'Hive-Time!

I made a post on /r/MandelaEffect regarding a movie I recently rewatched. It was a scene from Magnolia that I vividly remember, but made no appearance. My post was removed because of breaking the "Does Anyone Else?" policy. Very silly since the most recent post was from 2 days ago.

When I bring this little dude to the vet, he hates being put in this cat carrier, but when he's not at risk of going to the vet, he loves to jump in to relax and snooze lol

Thinking about that poster from the "Nice Guy" convention in Magnolia lol

The Half-Life games are my favorite of all time, but Death Stranding 1 and 2 really gives them a run for their money. The unapologetic sincerity of DS1 and DS2's story really speaks to me - even when it's silly and a little hard to take seriously. I'm just tired of irony in storytelling I guess.

Been playing Death Stranding 2 since yesterday. Freakin love it so far, and I'm not even passed the first chapter. I will say, there's a certain je ne sais quoi to it that reminds me of MGS V. Can't quite articulate why at this current time though

Watched The Book of Mormon on Broadway last weekend and the highlight of it was one of the actors on stage absolutely struggling to keep a straight face in one of the finale songs. Nothing quite as funny as a world-class theatre actor on the brink of losing it because of crowd feedback!

A subtle (yet ever-present) mechanic I loved about Death Stranding is the connection system. I've never played a game where friendly characters say, "I appreciate the things you do for me, and I value you as a friend." Most hero games revolve around, "You're so bad ass, can you do this for me?"

Damn, I did not know you could kill "The Elder" in Death Stranding if you neglect to deliver his packages frequently enough. I feel guilty as hell.

First attempt back in 2021 was abysmal in cost, power consumption, and lines of code. Quite proud of my latest attempt at this puzzle

Ain't it crazy how the National Guard was sent in to LA during the disastrous political fallout between Trump and Musk? It's almost as if they're trying to distract you with the abuse of American rights. They know the American people are empathetic, and they're using it to their advantage. Sickening

My Tetris syndrome from playing Doom is hallucinating staggered flashing demons at the corners of my vision. My Tetris syndrome from playing Shenzhen I/O is unintentionally thinking about the logical conditions that need to be met before I can pet my cat lol

Coding and alcohol mixes wonderfully until it does not

So sad Jujubes got discontinued. I loved those little tooth-filling extractors. The violet and lilac flavors were my favorite

Very not kosher, but I love making thin crust pizza out of leftover matzo

Possibly hot take: I actually think that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) is good. And I love Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory (1971) as well. I just appreciate it when media tries something different - and in this case, I think they made a good adaptation

I've been playing through Doom Eternal again, and I'm hallucinating staggered demons at the edge of my vision. Such a bizarre and silly thing to experience. It's like a demon is staggered for a gory kill just at the edge of my periphery lol

Thinking about how I had a random urinalysis in the Navy once, and mid-stream, the observer asked me, "Why are you shaking so much?" I answered, "It's uncomfortable for me to pee while someone is watching." He replied, "Well you're in the Navy, get over it." I have anxiety and tourette syndrome.

It such a surreal feeling looking at the profiles of friends that have passed. The log of posts they've made, and their pictures shared gives an almost uncanny feeling that they're still here - as if I could just reply to one post and expect to have a response.

I love this. So cute

Hell yeah! Glad to have FTM back in Baltimore. I'll definitely be getting a room even though my house is only a mile and a half from the hotel lol

I'm glad that cons are doing well and that every year is the biggest convention attendance yet, but it makes me sad how hard it's become to secure a room. We're outgrowing our shell

Growing up in South Louisiana, my grandpa owned a houseboat on one of the tributary rivers to Lake Maurepas. I took it for granted as a kid. As an adult I'd love to spend a weekend there. The gentle rocking of the river and hum of the window unit AC was unbelievably comfortable for sleeping.

I can't fucking stand how everything needs to be a conspiracy theory here.

I fucking hate Twitter.

Playing Death Stranding a second time before the sequel releases. Freaking love this game. I never thought you could make a game whose sole mechanic is fetch quests, but it just works somehow. I've heard people compare it to X Truck Simulator, but it really doesn't compare, imo

Cory in the House lookin-ass-font

He's just baby

These kinds of comments bug the hell out of me. It was a popular song - of course people are still listening to it

Me blowing raspberries at my cat: "Bet ya can't do that, cause ya don't have big ape lips like me"

The box should be opened before Shabbos because it's real freaking work to get passed all that glue lol There's like no way to open this without destroying the re-sealable tab

Marinara is a type of salted and spiced jam. Prove me wrong

Damn now I'm said that I found the carcass of a *named* Operator. Who was Softshell?? :(

Had some ISP solicitor come to my door trying to get me to sign up. When I told them "no" they just asked for my email to keep in touch. Told them I didn't want to give them my email address and they acted indignant. "Well why not?" Because I don't want any more spam than I already have???

I ordered a vial of cotton candy flavoring because I wanted to make cotton candy flavored crystal candy, but some porch pirate snatched it literally 5 minutes after delivery. They have GOT to be following the delivery van around. I hope it's completely worthless to you, asshole...

Pet peeve is when movies or TV shows depict someone drinking from a full beverage cup with a straw, but it makes the slurp noise, like it's empty.

The door jiggle once it fully opens satisfies me

Arctic-rated exterior door. Love the way the handle extends slightly when it catches the latch

Polar-rated insulated door for a project I'm working on
