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

I Can't Believe It Finally Happened: A Story in Two Parts (a bit more context about how ridiculous this achievement is in alt text of the first image)

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

It's fun to show off the cool old coin designs, but there are also regular looking coins like the Washington quarter and Roosevelt dime. The top two are about $13.50 worth of silver that someone could easily spend as $0.35 if they don't know to look out for coins dated 1964 and earlier

Kleenex is always the first thing people say for "brand names that people say as the generic term" but I think Kleenex is trying to pull a fast one because most people I've met just say tissue

Sunset on the beach

I probably over paid for this but I've never seen a half dime in person before and I'm on vacation so decided to go for it. Not that it was absurdly expensive, just a whole lot more than the actual silver value in the coin

This is the dumbest possible post to get attention lol. Couldn't have been any of my posts about setting the world record in a crushingly difficult video game that ended up with 40 likes and 12 comments, it had to be the one where I whine about the line for a rental car

I recognize that this is a very privileged problem but there were like 30+ employee terminals but only 3 people working at Avis for our rental car. We got in line behind ~20 people and it took like an hour and a half

Trying some new 'dines

What I've seen of Dram 3 looks pretty fun, may have to check it out

Going on vacation tomorrow, @pomemel.bsky.social and I are going to Santa Barbara without plans aside from sitting on the beach and I'm very excited

At this time of day? At this time of year?

It would figure my Internet is down the day that Windswept comes out, a game I've been looking forward to since funding the Kickstarter in 2023

First time beating Sanctuary on CHIMPS mode in BTD6 and ended up with over $50,000 left over. The Bomb Blitz tower is absurdly strong after this past update. I saved up over $70,000 before I needed to buy another strong tower in the early 90s which is bonkers on this kind of map

I heard that spotify is running ads for ice and there's a boycott, I've had premium for years but intend to cancel. Any recommendations on an alternative app? I've heard Tidal is good for music but they don't seem to have any podcasts or audiobooks which is the main thing I use spotify for

GGs NYC friends

if you live in the city and haven't voted yet, make sure you vote for zohran tomorrow! even if you think it won't make a difference or it's a guaranteed win. don't assume it's over. it's not over until polls close tomorrow

Well I didn't get into GDQ. Congrats to everyone that did!

Hey if anyone has wanted to play Bloons TD6 or is nostalgic for the Bloons series or whatever it's currently 90% off ($1.39) on steam

Ready for trick or treaters (they can choose candy or potato)
