me: minding my own business doomscrolling myself to sleep my watch: time to stand!

I order more food delivered than I would like to admit, so today I decided to use Divvy (bike share) to go to a place. The bike rental for the trip (there and back) cost $9, which is much more than it would’ve cost to have it delivered ($1.50 + tip). learned my lesson obviously, delivery it is :p

Hold up, they have skate after hours at navy pier and they serve drinks? Are a new pair of rollerblades and a broken ankle possibly in my near future? navypier.org/pier-events/... Have seriously genuinely been thinking about getting back into blading. It’s only been 25 years what could go wrong?

So the place I got my haircut at closed and so now I’m pretty sure I’m just gonna be a long hair guy for awhile. I didn’t love that place but I knew what to expect which goes a long way. It is out of my control, this is my fate now.

Thinking about Quake II and very randomly remembered there used to be a mapper named U8POO who was absolutely prolific. Their maps were incredible and always topping downloads on mapping sites. I wonder if they still do games things, can’t find anything about them online really.

Damn. Thank you for composing the sounds of so many of my formative gaming experiences. One of my first forays into game development was Duke 3D maps with BUILD.exe. Can’t even imagine how many times I’ve looped E1M1. RIP. 🤘

i need blackout curtains, this whole sunlight at 5am situation is real messed up.

me: find new video game. become obsessed. play it for hours each day for 3-5 days. proceed to completely forget it exists? sadly not limited to games either

do you think pizza hut would sell me some of their red cups? those things used to make coke taste better. i don’t know how.

something positive: im really looking forward to tackling the new one off raid w/ the crew www.youtube.com/watch?v=_98q...

well there sure is a lot of shitty news today

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

they call it five guys because thats how many guys you can feed with the amount of fries they give you (just working on my material for when i timetravel back to 2006 social media) but no really, had five guys today, and am mostly regretting it

if two buildings connect they can trade pokemon (sorry. i’ve been playing a lot of crystal lately and for some reason this made me think of a link cable)

spent a non-trivial amount of time learning about how windows handles scaling across differing DPI monitors because it really bothers me that desktop scaling is not being correctly applied when you drag a window across monitor boundaries until you let go of the window i have cursed knowledge

Group chats are now on Bluesky? My friend group uses Slack for group chat like a bunch of corporate brained weirdos.

88 degrees out today ☠️

I'm feeling so jaded right now. There was SO MUCH awesome stuff announced over this past week & a half and I don't feel like there was anything that has me personally extremely excited. I'm also realizing that I might be consuming wayyyy too much games media (creating a lack of surprise).

All I want for Nintendomas is some Smash Bros Switch 2 news. Please Mr. Nintendo, I've been really good, I promise.

spending my evening downloading and trying out neverwinter nights mods. feels right to me.

Don't worry guys, they are being very thoughtful while developing this increasingly dystopian nightmare world we live in. > “If we were to release such a feature, we would take a very thoughtful approach before rolling anything out.” :| www.wired.com/story/meta-s...

small stupid but effective change: making my email inbox my browser homepage. used to forget to check my (personal) email for like a week or more at a time, now i keep on top of it. have been doing a lot of maintenance, modern tools for unsubscribing to things has made it a lot easier to manage.

bit of a quake night, played q1 first chapter, toyed around with q2 rtx, did a bit of q3 arena, and then a few matches in champions my takeaway is that the people still playing these games online are absolute ruthless killers. damn. i’m sad i didn’t give champions more of a look when it was new!
