Went to a local hand made fair and got these very cool wood burned hats. I've gotten some in the past with hand made patches but these are the first that the art was actually done by hand directly on the hat

I'm holding the final version of this ROM hack I've spent 8 and a half years making - into which I've poured so much of myself and my ideas about Kaizo, level design, and speedrunning. Today I'd like to share the cover art that Skytree made. I'll be announcing the release date (in May) pretty soon.

The joys of life in Montana: a story in two parts

What I've been focussed on instead of gaming (I still play plenty of video games)

A smoked mackerel and pickle sandwich might sound like something a cartoon dad would eat that's made up to sound gross but let me tell you it's a fantastic nighttime snack

Omnom stream in 2026!? Sauna 2 looks like fun, let's play that. Live in about 30 minutes. Twitch.tv/om_nomnom_nomnom

Instead of a time in a game my newest PB is squatting 275 for 3 sets of 5. Though I have been playing a bit of Favorite Things of late and may be getting back to that soon too ...

This weekend we built some cat walk shelves for Stormy and Gizmo. We built it completely from scratch, got lumber, shelf supports, and carpet then stained the wood, cut and stuck carpet to the top, and put them up. I'm pretty proud of these.

Gizmo had never had a post hit 1k likes before last weekend, now it's happened twice in less than a week. Wild.

Goodnight #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

Gizmo reflects how I felt getting out of bed today

5 days a week I wake up at 5am to my alarm from a dead sleep, snooze the alarm because I still want to be sleeping. Then of course Saturday rolls around and I wake up at 5 on my own and can't get back to sleep lol

The duality of Gizmo the cat

3 months into the gym, workin on that dad bod. I don't mind that I've put on fat with the muscle. I've spent most of the last decade being too skinny from too much work & not eating. If it gets out of hand I'll reasses, but for now gaining weight is a good sign for my mental and physical well-being

A random offhand comment about the price of a fine dining meal on youtube shorts has officially become my most liked social media post of all time

It's a really nice day so Stormy gets to go exploring. My wife's at work so Gizmo's enjoying the outdoors in a cat backpack. I am not skilled enough to walk two cats at the same time

I am very excited to try this I didn't even know you could get juice out of tamarind. And I can't imagine you can get much out of each one.

If anyone was wondering how friendly/trusting Gizmo is this is a person that was in our house to work on our water heater that he's met maybe 2 or 3 times. He jumped right onto his shoulders Blurred face because out of respect for the random person that I have not gotten permission to post

Return to Subcon 2: The Nova Project Is still coming out very soon Stay tune.

If you're ever thinking of trying dragon fruit, the bright pink ones with green leaves that look amazing are actually pretty bland. Biggest gap between how good a fruit looks and how good it tastes imo. The yellow ones are where it's at. Still pretty mild and nectar-y, but I freakin love them

Officially my weirdest find since becoming interested in precious metals. It was in a little baggy in a glass case at an antique shop next to sterling silver cutlery and jewelry. It was just so unique, interesting, and gross that I couldn't say no. Coin for scale.

Some US dimes, quarters, and half dollars from before 1916 that all have the same design on the heads side. Called "Barber" coins after Charles Barber, the chief engraver of the US mint who designed the coins

All of my favorites

Purr (sound on) #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

Some lovely cookies that our HR manager and office manager decorated for us to snack on

fuck ice and fuck anyone that says anything like "its so wild to me how if they just let ice do their job none of this would be happening lul imagine being out in -30 degree weather protesting to keep law breakers in your country" no one specific, oh wait, it was nobletofu, ofc it was.

We are getting ready to paint the living room and Stormy is being a big help

My bank said they had 6 rolls of half dollars, so I withdrew the $60 to get them. Half dollars from 1965-1970 are 40% silver, half dollars (and quarters+dimes) 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. Found these in the rolls, about $45 worth of silver, and the other $59 in coins can go back to the bank.

Gizmo has been intently watching TV lately

Finally Friday after a stretch of 12 work days in a row, literally since the day after I got home from GDQ

Sometimes job applications make me laugh

Dimes through the years

Gizmo is a huge help when working from home

Montana State football just won their first national championship in 42 years. I didn't intend to stay up and watch but glad I did, what a game!

In Pittsburgh, spending the night in after getting up at 4 I'm just ready to crash out. My wife's here too for a few days, not coming to GDQ but staying in the hotel and visiting some friends and family in the area. But still very cool to get to hang out with her for part of it.

It's been an incredibly stressful week at work leading up to NYE, very excited to have a week off at GDQ coming up

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

I'm not much of a football guy but having the NCAA D1 FCS semi finals be Montana State vs U of Montana at home is pretty freakin cool

This is pushing for the biggest Gizmo post so far, we've never hit 1000 ❤️ before, maybe this one?

I saw this and now you get to, too (The song is very catchy)

Looking at buying something that you used to buy several years ago really makes it hit how intense inflation has been. I was looking at the 5lb tub of protein powder I used to get back in the day expecting it to be $30-$40 and it's freakin $80

Goodnight #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

Funny that on this account, the one created and mostly used for keeping in touch with my kaizo/gaming friends, where my posts are 90% gaming related and 10% other interests, a post about getting back to the gym is far and away my most popular. Self care ftw

Went to the gym today for the first time in at least five years. Feels good, I just hope it sticks and becomes a routine

I feel like tooting my own horn a bit. It's pretty cool to have essentially killed a category. I started and finished yump% in My Favorite Things

Gotta be honest after streaming on Saturday I'm still not super excited about it. I've been playing a lot of kaizo and streaming for the past several years, maybe the burnout is a little deeper than just being done with the My Favorite Things grind

Grabbing some food then live in an hour or so, come hang out! Twitch.tv/om_nomnom_nomnom

Might jump on and stream today for the first time in a while. I've got Dram 3 ready to go but I'm thinking Akogare to warm up since I haven't played kaizo in at least a month

Hey anyone deep frying your turkey, even if you think it's completely thawed just turn the flame off for 30 seconds while you drop it in the oil. A hot oil spill is much less bad than a 5 gallon grease fire explosion
