Doing free tarot readings over on Twitch - come hang and see what cards this vamp slings at you. Using the Killstar deck and feeling extra goth-ey. twitch.tv/pb_undesirab...

Fuck the War, #NASA doing amazing things in space. It’s been too long that scientific excitement engrossed us. The amount of computer power, room in the capsule, a toilet. A long, long way from Apollo done with far less.

I think Twitch might actually be the best feed to watch Artemis from. It's not that there's anything special about the Twitch feed, but you do have better tools. With the FFZ plugin-install and the audio compressor turned on, everything is much easier to understand. www.twitch.tv/nasa

Fun fact: Just as all Bell UH-1 'Huey' helicopters have a button that plays Flight of the Valkyries, NASA vehicles performing a translunar injection burn are programmed to auto-play Free Bird. The maneuver is timed so engine ignition coincides with the start of the guitar solo at the 4:55 mark.

But how will I use my smart toilet! I can't flush unless it can connect to AWS!

I hope Stern takes notice of how selling a theme that's not aimed at retirees can actually be good for business.

Yesterday made me realize that the Challenger tragedy really did get seared into my psyche. Here's Artemis in a 4:3 aspect ratio, on a CRT, on top of a metal cart. Dear brain going forward can we now associate a success launch with any memory of this late GenX / early Millennial classroom staple?

Alright Nerds, I'm busting out the CRT monitor tonight to get the full retro experience with Heroine's Quest. It's a game from a couple years back, but it's done in the style of the old Sierra Quest for Glory games. I'm hoping it scratches the nostalgia itch while giving me something new.

Yes- I'm a space nerd and I find this stuff incredibly cool.

This is a real thing. I remember sitting in a semi-circle around the CRT tv that had been rolled into the class room on a cart and Challenger exploding.

SLS-Chan - I'm amused.

Artemis II update:

Nobody's really talking about it - but NASA is send people to go out past the moon today. Not April fools. www.youtube.com/watch?v=08IO...

There's pretty much nothing I can see today about Trump that I won't find plausible. He has ruined April fools.

It is so easy, so cheap, to just not buy stuff.... and yet nostalgia is enough reason for many people to throw aside their morals.

Tarot tonight at 6pm US/CT. I'm feeling "V" - it's Vampire themed tarot deck so pretty on brand for me. The cards have beautiful art work by Alejandro Colucci. I will be brining the sass as I tell you the think you already know you need to hear. 😏

Played through 198X & really enjoyed it. It was fun, nostalgic & the pixel art was stunning. It was nice to start and finish a game in the same stream. 😅 Maybe Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok next. It's a game made in the style of the 90s Quest for Glory games.

In the meat bag's day job, GitHub Copilot is being shoved down my throat. I have to keep an open minded because my paycheck depends on it. I've given honest feedback. It’s a modest boost when used carefully. Used recklessly it just spawns silent hard-to-debug problems. 🧵 1/4

Honestly more people in the pinball community need to think of pinball this way. Yes- buying a game is expensive. Supporting locations however is relatively cheap in terms of dollars spent per hour. - Unless you suck at pinball, in which case, get good.

I missed Thursday. Time has no meaning when you’re undead. Moving the 198X stream to Sunday at 5pm US/CT, pending the whims of mortals. It’s a 2-hour journey featuring peak 80s nostalgia & my recurring segment on how Reagan ruined everything.

Always remember, I'm not cute... I'm ADORABLE.

Drew Potter in a pinball tournament last night. On principle I won't play it, so I forfeited. Did well enough on the other games to advance anyway and took 3rd. When she said something like "if people don't agree with me they wouldn't engage with my world," I said bet.

Timeline cleanse Because we live in hell. I give you, a cat, riding his horse. In a tiny cat saddle.😻😸 #SheShed

Now that I've finished up Baldur's Gate 3, I'll get to variety gaming. On Thursday's stream I'll be playing 198X. I'm ready for the 16-bit nostalgia, but I wonder if I'm ready for the coming of age feels trip.

Look at my so called "Hairless" cat!

Hanging out helping with TDing a women's pinball tournament today. Fingers crossed for @adielashmedaivt.bsky.social & @saltyseamstress.bsky.social 🤞

Felt like the New Moon deck tonight. Come get some Cyberpunk Tarot readings.

PSA: People trying to "pwn" you on Discord is ramping up again. Friendly reminder if you get a DM from even someone you know well asking you to play a game they're making who you didn't know was a dev, red flag. If they ask you to play it NOW and give feedback NOW, that should be a mega red flag.

I'm getting better... This year's covid is rough. If you haven't gotten vaccinated I'd highly recommend it. I hadn't gotten the most recent booster & I'm really regretting it. I'm surviving on a pile of pills & lot of sleep. Might be another week before I get back to streaming.

Well shit. I've got COVID.

Got a cold & it's kicking my ass. No stream tonight & quite possibly not Sunday either unless I start feeling better.

Who want's a reading tonight? Leaning towards Witch Tarot. It's a Rider-Waite-Smith deck with a few substations. Hierophant > High Priest, Wheel of Fortune > Wheel of the Year, & Judgement > Karma. TBD on pinball & I'm in the end game of BG3 (I think). twitch.tv/pb_undesirab...

If it wasn't for the reference to the moustache, I would swear this song was about someone else. 🤔

Some pinball friends had extra tickets to the local minor league hockey team - it's been a good excuse to drink beer & watch fights 🤣

I lost everything in my fish tanks during the power outage. All my shrimp, my snails, my plants, some over 10 years old, all gone. I know this is a selfish ask, but if anyone wants to help me get a snail or plant in my aquarium, here’s my link: ko-fi.com/ashenagrey/g... I’ll let you name the snail

The Epstein files must be *really* bad.

Enjoy my shit posting & random thoughts here? Come follow me on Twitch. twitch.tv/pb_undesirab...

Continuing my appreciation of pinball machines that are easy to maintain, TNA only took about an hour to deep clean, re-rubber & install new plastic protectors. I like the pink pop they add. Products used; Novus 1, Wildcat 125, Mill Wax & Sprayway for the glass. All highly recommend.

Reading I did for Rayne - I like to have fun with Tarot. Get Tarot'd every Monday 6pm US/CT: twitch.tv/pb_undesirab...

Time to see if the IFPA's Gender Inclusive Policy actually has teeth. "At all IFPA sanctioned tournaments and leagues, every player must be allowed to use the bathroom that aligns with their identity. This requirement applies regardless of any state or local regulations to the contrary." #pinball

The government is switching to a "Continuous Validation" for security clearances instead of a background investigation every couple of years. Sounds to me like they're setting up a system to purge Civil Servants & Contractors who aren't loyal to the regime. www.dni.gov/index.php/nc...

1st Playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 continues! I think we're getting pretty close to the end game. Lord Gortash "fell" off a balcony "accidently", Orin has elevated herself to the top of my shitlist. Come hang & tell me everything I'm doing wrong: twitch.tv/pb_undesirab...

Fixed a drop target that wasn't latching on my Hot Wheels. Not enough people talk about the good unsexy elements of a pinball machine. HW is actually built to be serviced. The build quality itself is excellent. I hope the remakes by AP get the same treatment. I believe they will.

The Pokemon pinball leaks real. Stern released a new trailer that shows the game in action. Layout is pretty much what we expected. Looking forward to playing it!

Fun time teaching my friends kids how to play TNA - I was nothing if not a good sport that in no way mocked them at any point. Went on to raid @kasifel.gay when the game broke. Don't worry I got it fixed within about 20 minutes, just had to find the right screws.
