Arnold Rimmer did not die for your sins only to be disrespected like this.

“I’m going on an adventure!!!” #matthewart #thehobbit

Why doesn't contact follow the weird emphasis rule like other words? Like something can get smaller and contract, or you can sign a contract. Or you get a permit to show some authority permits you to do something. But you can totally contact a contact.

The NYT Crossword is not a Metroidvania.

What know ye of the Night Yorb?

VGMCon was a great time as usual.

If you put Da Bomb hot sauce on an Altoid, the intense mint and spice cancel each other out nearly completely. It's quite pleasant.

Sitting in an empty hotel lobby drinking free coffee and The Girl from Ipanema is playing over the sound system. Surreal.

Do people frequently no-show for dental appointments? I've got a cleaning scheduled today, and in the past few days I got 4 emails and 3 texts of varying levels of desperation basically begging me to remember to show up or call if I have to cancel. I replied to the first one. Is this a real issue?

Mashup you never wanted: Deacon Blues and Pokemon.

Hey MAGFest friends, I won't be there this year, but one of my coworkers is going and doing the art vendor thing for the first time. She makes rad stuff you should check out. bsky.app/profile/tabr...

Popcorn chicken in a waffle cone.

Why are coffee carafes so physics-defyingly bad? Just... They have one thing to do. Why are they like that?

Happy 25th anniversary to @ocremix.org ! Site founder DJ Pretzel uploaded the very first track—"Legacy" (Phantasy Star III)—on December 11, 1999: ocremix.org/info/Site_Hi...

Pet peeve - devices with inscrutable sleep timers. If I leave the room to grab coffee and a snack, this game controller may power down on me if I'm too slow. Meanwhile, I just had a shower and toothbrushing and morning routine, and the dumb thing stayed on the whole time and is crying low battery.

How do you dry off with a towel? Seems like one of those things where half of people do it in a way the other half will find shocking and nonsensical. Is there a "best" way? Does the US military have a field manual about it? I'll bet if anyone's done research, that's where to find it

I'm not particularly strong or athletic, but I put my socks on standing up. Someday I may fall over, but not today.

You can go to bsky.app/moderation and click "Muted Words & Tags" and then type "twitter" into the little box and click the "Add +" button. As a treat. Like, if you're tired of hearing about twitter or something.

when you hear a song with the word "hero" in it you should just assume the singer was thinking of a sandwich

Picked up the grocery order for the week, so now I can enjoy 7-10 minutes of good brain chemicals before the ever present nagging "you should be accomplishing something" feeling returns.

Happy Gazpacho Soup Day to those who celebrate!

I just got a bit of popcorn kernel stuck in my gums. I located it with my tongue, then put my finger DIRECTLY on it, in the exact spot my tongue was telling me to go. Got the kernel out first try. So yeah, I guess I have super powers now.

When's the last time you thought about Variflex?

This is the SPLAT AT AT AT AT AT from my banner pic.

Golden Brownie behaves like Peavey Classic 30 gain, but "more." Went back to a Danelctro delay because it was smoother. Overdrive with gain at 0 to act as a volume boost. I use an IR pedal to send FoH a direct signal.

Are all of us recent adopters still introducing ourselves? I made the first Final Fantasy cover on OCRemix.org like 24.5 years ago. I've done a bunch more cool stuff since then, but if you're seeing my name pop up and don't know why it sounds familiar, start there and work outwards I guess?

Washburn G-23V. My main guitar through high school. I gave it to my brother years ago. Picture from when I did a fret dressing and replaced the neck pickup for him. Set-neck SuperStrat with resin fretboard and Washburn's Wonderbar bridge. Wayne plays a similar white G-20V in the Wayne's World movie.

My weird pre-release design sample Agile Geodesic. The amp head is secretly a re-housed Peavey Delta Blues. The cabinet is a Peavey XXL 4x12.
