was looking up whether or not I can lower my own salary in my own company, and a quick search gave me "You [plural] need to be in agreement about the change" ...and I don't know what other answer I was expecting, but sure, okay.

trying to troubleshoot why my bluetooth headphones sometimes stop playing audio when I switch between programs playing audio, and if I have to read another "uuuuuuh update drivers/turn it on off/made sure you have audio playing!" suggestion I'm going to... likely just be very disappointed.

What we need is to engage in good-faith dialogue where we take the arguments of our opponents seriously. Which is to say that we should quote the late mr Kirk without alteration *touches earpiece* I am getting reports that people who quote him verbatim are banned by bsky mods for "spreading hate"

I want to crawl into the ground. For the second time in not that long, I've UTTERLY and CONFIDENTLY mistaken an acquiantance at an event that I've known for some time for someone else entirely. 🙈

With the trajectory of how the world is stumbling into government-dictated and bot-filled net, one of my long-term goals is to become a part of those shady underground hacker groups you see in cyberpunk fiction. I'll be there to get you the Good Stuff in VR lol

I love and hate the meta "here's The Thing" joke a lot of video editors seem to be making on Youtube at the moment haha (if the presenter say the phrase, several editors will have Fantastic Four's The Thing added into the visuals, be it a half-second cutaway, or an out-of-place cutout somewhere)

hahahahahahahahaha

It is Friday

City the Animation episode 5 might be the greatest episode of anime ever made???

I've apparently flown enough times that the descent path into Arlanda now gives me a feeling of "ah yes, I know this, this is comfortable". 😆

I've been to some small airports before, but this is officially the smallest one. 4 flights total today!

I've been mostly enjoying my trip to the UK, but today has been a series of really small annoyances that has me wanting to take notes from Micheal Douglas in the first half of Falling Down lol Any one of the things on their own would be whatever, but them all combined has me really annoyed haha

Seasonal Anime 2025! A shortlist of what we think will be worth to keep up with, or at least take a look at: - City the Animation - The Water Magician - Ruri Rocks - The Summer Hikaru Died - Secrets of the Silent Witch - Clevatess - Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra ...

Another seasonal anime marathon done. I think we ended up watching 30 of the 40-odd new shows this season, in 12 hours 😅 Summary etc should come up tomorrow. For now, sleep!

It's the seasonal anime marathon tomorrow, so I made a spotify playlist of all the OPs and EDs. It's not exhaustive as not all songs have released yet, nor really sorted, but there are again a lot of great tunes accompanying the shows this season!

Oh, it's from a Trusted Sender??? Forgive me, I'll go grab my credit card details and send them your way immediately!

Final things are now booked for my trip to the UK; just 10 days left! Going to be fun to just travel in general again.

Made a pretty decent Smörgåstårta for a party yesterday

Ended up not really watching much of GDQ this year. It feels weird, since I usually do, but I guess I didn't have the "brain bandwidth" for it right now?

With a Switch 2, I can now do trade-evolutions with myself using my OG Switch lol

Just in time before I'm over there to visit a friend, ha! Well this sucks.

There are more great beats this season - a close second (so far) for me is Mirage by Creepy Nuts, returning yet again for Call of the Night. This track for the season 2 OP is a short but good one, mixing their signature rap with a new layer of beats with some spanish/south american vibes? 💃

One of the best tunes this anime season has released! The OP song for City the Animation - "Hello" by Furui Riho!

Trying to get the last few mons for the Hisui one now (for the shiny legendaries in Pokemon Home), and wooow is it tedious to just sit and wait for the storms to show up. Some can be 40 real-time minutes apart, with the timer reset of you faint or go elsewhere...

Can't wait to go on my "Micro-Retirement" in three weeks lol

My Dress-Up Darling is back and it's yet again absolutely gorgeous. They're doing *something* with the frame pacing in their animation, and it just WORKS. Most on 3's, but sometimes seemingly short bursts of 4's, 2's, and even 1's. Kinda want to see if it can translate to 3D anims.

Another Pokédex completed!

Can't wait for Sunday - this looks so so good! The amazing combo of a KyoAni production and an Keiichi Arawi series is BACK!

Started preparing for the next seasonal anime marathon, and... It looks like we'll have up to 43 new series to go through. Pray for us. 🥲

As of today I only have one debt remaining - student loans. After that is paid off I can finally start working towards the ultimate goal; a much bigger loan for a place somewhere lol

Current mood

Got to shoot at a gun range using live ammo with some handguns during an event yesterday. 35 bullets in total. Was good to try it out, but it reinforced my general idea of keeping myself away from guns in the future. Didn't score the highest, but was at least able to destroy a piece of the target!

Well.. this was not on my bingo card. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsK-...

Me now that I've unlocked all the outfits for my favourite characters in Mario Kart World:

It's here!

My Switch 2 has landed in Sweden! Here's hoping I'll get my hands on it today!

Big BBQ + Summer Game Fest trash talk hangout with some good friends tonight. The games will obviously be celebrated, but we're going to trash talk all the cringe around it. :)

I'm actually ok with waiting a few more days than I had done if I'd bought a Switch 2 at a Swedish retailer. With the exhorbant overpricing the Swedish distributor put on it, I'm actually paying less for the console + two gamecube controllers from Nintendo Europe, than just the console here.

...there's a chance! Come on DHL, please be speedy 🙏

noooooo!!! Just got an update from Nintendo. Preorders directly from them in Sweden is not guaranteed to have Swtich 2 shipments reach people on launch day. And since this friday is a national holiday, likely no Switch 2 for me until next week. Booo! (it's fine)

Random video from a channel I've never heard of. Expecting some form of house/estate tour going into it, but there's much more. Getting "life goals" feelings from it. What a neat video. A good watch. (also, this is the publisher, Henk, that the "Tetris" movie mostly followed, not the OG dev)

1:44 in asmi's Sonna Mon Ne (Food for the Soul OP) to the intro of Susume Hirasawa's Mediational Field (Paprika OST) 🤔

Stumbled upon some Linux Arch hype videos this weekend, and I can definitely feel the urge to dive in, setup, and fully customize a sleek-looking system on my old laptop. Having something combining visual elements of Serial Experiments Lain with fake-medival-europe-fantasy anime, maybe?

everything seems to be having a Monday today. Doctor's office didn't have internet this morning. The bus on my way back home had to fully stop the engine at each stop to let the doors open. Now github is having issues. A very Monday to you all.

Saw that Diablo 4 had some updates since I played at launch, and figured I'd jump in and play some again. Then I was met with "BUY THE EXPANSION PASS!! PREFERABLY THE ULTIMATE EDITION AT 1000SEK" My excitement to play Diablo 4 instantly hit rock-bottom again. What a shame.

Being sick sucks.

you have got to be kidding. Suddenly started getting just 3 videos per row 😂

What didn't suck about going to the dentist today: - The actual procedure What did suck today: - Not being able to enjoy the food from any of the many food trucks I went past on my back home

And the entirety of europe draws a huge sigh of relief
