He's so proud of the fact that he "doesn't watch that stuff". If something cute like this offends him so much, I wonder what else does?

One of my favorite obscure analogies is, "like being the Hero of Kvatch". If you haven't played Oblivion, Kvatch is a city you help "protect" in the game, but it's already a smoking ruin when you get there. So being a "hero of Kvatch" is like being a protector of something long destroyed.

I'm seeing increasing nostalgia lately for Windows 95, 98 and XP eras. I guess it's been just the right amount of time. :)

When you hear about the worst people humanity has to offer all the time it's easy to lose hope. Lately I've been surrounded by so many awesome people and have made new amazing friends and this has just given me more hope than I've had in a long time. Just had to get out of my bubble a bit.

Ride share pricing is so odd. When I went to the airport from home last week, Lyft was half the price of uber. Now on the way back home from the airport, uber is half the price as Lyft.

moontail is one of the most creative and fully customizable avatar bases out there. please buy it legit from them, pirating avatars from creators is straight up heinous behavior

MIA airport WiFi on the left, my own celphone hotspot on the right. It's not too crowded and I had an excellent signal to the AP. How is stuff like airport wifi not a solved problem by now? (10.0.3.1 is my VPN endpoint which is why it's the same IP both times.)

Why is it that gaming headsets come with equalizer presets for hundreds of games, and they ALL sound like garbage compared to just the normal flat eq curve?

It feels really weird to learn of world events because suddenly everyone is talking about nuclear war. Maybe I've unplugged from the news cycle TOO much? Freaking hell, I mean I even said "WTF?" out loud.

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

Excuse me while I beam in and just be pretty. #Moontail #ZorintheMoontail

Please do not forget that THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE HALFWAY BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE MOON RIGHT NOW.

"NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn." These words in this order are making me way more emotional than I figured they'd ever make me....

I would happily suffer an eternity of 90s clipart used forever over seeing AI made art assets. At least a human being made those.

A couple months ago I joined a new community, and a large portion of it are artists. It's been so much fun seeing the amazing stuff they come up with, talking about it, learning about the universe they created... Being surrounded by creative people is amazing and inspiring.

I have emotional attachment to the Space shuttle as it was the space vehicle I grew up with and was the standard for most of my life. But I also think about what we could have done had we not sucked around with STS for 30 years and moved on sooner. It's kinda sad. Nice to be moon-bound again.

As a bona fide moontail I firmly support going to the moon. I mean duh?

I learned that moontails are immune to "pspspspss" unless they are very dumb. This will take getting used to.

I am no longer a lynx. I am a moontail now. Yes, I have changed species completely. This is absolutely completely permanent and in no way is related to the calendar date or strange Earth traditions.

I'm extremely grateful for all my trans friends in my life. You are a beautiful light in an increasingly dark world. Happy trans day of visibility. I hope things start turning around and getting better soon.

I got added to an AI-haters blocklist. Probably the first blocklist I'm on which is 100% completely accurate for me, other than the "LOL I hate furries" ones.

I am now Moontail royalty! #vrchat #moontail #silly

Funny Helldivers moment... someone using the laser cannon as a laser pointer to guide me to a spot. "I don't think this meets the federal guidelines for a laser pointer..." "I'm sure Super Earth does not care."

Toyota is selling a car they call a "subcompact SUV". I look at it, and it has the shape and dimensions of a regular car, but they're calling it an SUV? WHY!? Just call it a car!

I still don't know how or why this happened but it's the best thing ever.

I no longer host my own personal E-mail. Our department at work is working on shutting down our E-mail server I maintain there, likely by the end of this year. This will mean that for the first time in nearly three decades, I wont' be administrating an E-mail server. That just feels weird.

I played Helldivers 2 for the first time yesterday with some new friends. Hooooooly shit it's such absolute chaos and so much fun. And somehow it worked despite being a Level 2 player in an otherwise Level 70+ squad.

"When the CPU cache size grows larger than the process working set size, you're going to see some serious shit." -- someone at AMD a few years ago, probably.

It's funny how I bought what is basically the best CPU for VRchat eight months before I even got into VRchat, purely by accident because Microcenter happened to have them in stock with a good deal. Then the entire industry went stupid. One of my rare wins.

I just turned off the "Rude" labeller as it seems to be completely useless and often applied to people who are anything but "Rude".

I had to watch this, it's on YouTube... "The Cat and the Spider". This show was so... cozy. For lack of a better word. Also the moral at the end was super positive. They weren't just "half-hour toy commercials" as people tried to disparage these shows as.

I will never, ever run any of my writing through any sort of AI or LLM because I want my words to be mine. I don't even like suggestions when I'm typing because I don't want my words to be influenced by the machine. This is a cornerstone personal principle of mine. I will not bend on it.

LOL lizard... "THE FROG" is literally IN HIS NAME. Oh wait.. "the Lynx" is in my name and I'm not always a lynx. DAMNIT. FOILED AGAIN.

A busy day on Saturday doing organ things again - the "Melotone" horn is on the ceiling, which is for the very early electronic stops of the organ, which uses two rotating disks etched with sine waves, that read a voltage passed over them, filter this, and then send through an amplifier - in 1937!

One thing I really hate about Outlook is that there's so many different versions, none with the same UI, so finding documentation on how to do anything is nearly impossible.

Damnit, where's MY bucket?

What's up with the Internet tonight anyway? VRchat down, Twitch being buffery and glitchy...

I got unexpected art of my moontail this morning and I'm, well, on the moon about it. He even gave them lynxish features. Squeeeeeee! I think this may actually be my first new fursona in eons. (don't worry I'm still a lynx too.) 🎨: @novanish Original species by @paperfen.bsky.social

"I don't use ChatGPT though, so..." "What do you mean you don't use it?" "I just don't, I don't like AI" "How do you live without it?" "Same way I lived the way-too-many-freaking-years before it became a thing?" I swear. People frustrate me.

Mischief >:3

Every time I wake up and peruse social media I expect to see something stupid but... Some people have a problem with digitigrade anthros now? Seriously? WTF is in the water supply lately? WE HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT and people are worrying about paws. WELL FUCK THAT I LIKE PAWS.

How the hell did Apple become the affordable choice for laptops? I mean holy crap... 10 core CPU, 24GB RAM, 1TB storage... $1800 Meanwhile something similar from Dell with a worse display is north of $2K. Never thought I'd see the day.

The hold music I'm hearing right now sounds like something out of a 1990s Amiga demoscene release and I'm low-key loving it. Recorded a snippet of it even. hushpad.zorin.org/share/holdmu...

I've configured the power button on my Windows PC to make the machine sleep. But it doesn't do that when the system is locked. Power button is ignored in that case. Is there any way to get the power button to ALWAYS sleep the computer? Internet searches came up lacking.

Skateboarding was def Fridays theme! Another #vancoufur sketch commission, this time for @phenokage.bsky.social ! ✏️ #Art #TraditionalArt #FurryArt #Commission #Sketch #VF2026 #Vancoufur2026

Whoah, I'd forgotten I took this photo in VR last night. It's just... magical. Moontail Avatar by @paperfen.bsky.social World is "Lifetimes of Memories" #vrchat vrchat.com/home/world/w...

There's a few (thankfully few!) younger people out there who seem to think we all just stop enjoying things once we're over 35 or so. It's sad. I wonder about their older role models. I have friends and acquaintances all across the age spectrum and they are all awesome in diverse ways.

The few times I do have to interact with our healthcare system really scares the shit out of me when I think about getting older and needing it more. Freaking hell. Just trying to reach an actual person on the phone is an ordeal.
