All software makes me angry now Slack: constantly has ways of telling me I have new reactions, replies, threads, etc... in multiple locations. I hate this. Its too much. Okta: I auth against Okta about 20 times a day. It's all for the same realm. This is where can honest to god say I miss Kerberos

Playing with netgraph for the first time on my primary interface is always a wise idea. I'm glad my home server has ipmi and I didn't have to get up at all.

Why is no one talking about Look Outside?! It has to be the best turn-based survival horror game out there. I think it is one of the only games that really gets Lovecraftian horror. The music and atmosphere 10/10, and I just KNOW its a good idea to push my bedroom plant closer to the window

Firefox, please go fuck yourself. JWZ has already said as much.

I hastily ran up to @samlakewrites.bsky.social at the game awards and could not be happier. It's hard to express in a few seconds how impactful someones work has been to you. From Max Payne to Control and Alan Wake. Jesus even the Final Reality benchmark I used to run after each windows reinstall

I'm at LAX ready to go home to PDX and I'm so happy to see @sgj.bsky.social book on display. Truly a must read in my opinion

www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbvM... I'm sorry what?! How is this the first I have heard about a fan made Planescape DLC? Possibly my most cherished PC RPG of all time, I cannot wait to load up my save file

Thanks to @lairdbarron.bsky.social recommendation on patreon, I read @paultremblay.bsky.social Another this week. Super fantastic, highly recommend. I don't have a ton of friends so maybe Morel can hang with me for the week

Seriously, who is eating all of the Mediterranean crunch salads at Safeway? I snagged one this week. Is it scalpers?

OHSU should be renamed to OWHSU. Oregon Winchester Science & Health University. I come here a lot and this place has never not been under construction. #OHSU #pdx

I've often thought about buying an item on my steam wishlist, just so I'll stop getting notified about it. One day Fort Solis.

I'm a horror nerd. I read and watch horror. Over decades I've read a handful of Vampire/Vampire adjacent novels @sgj.bsky.social The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is one of the best Vampire novels I have read along with @buehlmeister.bsky.social The Lesser Dead This has to be my favorite novel of the year

Levi has emerged

come on steam, keep up with my new 2/2GB tube

Normally I either ignore my doorbell or politely but firmly say "I don't mean to waste your time the answer is no" Tonight while I was in the garage, some kids were selling homemade bracelets. Guess who is a proud owner or two bracelets!

@joshmalerman.bsky.social 's Incidents Around the House was pretty great! Nice and short, really great spooky moments and a good amount of sage like advice in these long exposition dumps to get a small child to understand the complexities of being a human

After two weeks of trying to sell shit on Facebook marketplace, I finally got to uninstall both Facebook and messenger. Feels great.

These books are insane (Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories)

The daily struggle

I love my animals, but there is not a day that goes by where I am not delicately pulling a long hair out of my mouth

www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-eM... I'm sold, gimme!

Something happened on my home server (which has 128GB RAM) Honestly it was probably the minecraft server I have running in a jail and not in k8s with some quotas Thank goodness I have IPMI, I was able to see the death knell in my browser; out of swap space

Happy birthday @lairdbarron.bsky.social

A local food cart has an AI generated banner. I immediately thought something was off and started looking closer. The fingers on the pretzel killed me

I really appreciate that the library here at Blizzard has @jasonschreier.bsky.social Play Nice book, prominently on display

I've worked for Blizzard for over three years now and I finally got to visit the main campus. I also awkwardly ran into @jesawyer.bsky.social and the poor guy had no idea I have a parasocial relationship with him and we've been best friends for months now. Thanks for being kind Josh!

Every time I open LinkedIn I regret it Let me vent because I saw another psychopathic post You don't need to wake up at 4am to hit the gym and be successful. While my success is truly mid class, I hit the gym at 6pm daily and don't fucking wake up at 4am. You're not a failure for being a night owl

Avowed is really pretty and just plain fun #Avowed

Avowed is so far beautiful and fun. I love it. Plus, there was loot behind a little waterfall #Avowed #ObsidianEntertainment

I'm really bummed about Bob's Red Mill store closing down. It was a great place to get breakfast or lunch and snag the best steel cut oats you can handle. RIP Bob

I sure hope tomorrows state of play has made all of the recent Bloodborne cease and desist notices worth it...

I'm wrapping up Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, which I have ADORED to my fullest extent. Indy will always have a place in my heart and I'm super impressed with what Machine Games has done. But, next week going forward is dedicated to Avowed. Cannot wait.

My freezer broke, so I made all of the salmon in the freezer for my meals this week. ALL. OF. THE. SALMON. One bag I made still had the pin bones in them so now its sort of a lottery. I try to eat like Garfield but its a challenge.

Because I'm a middle age white guy who drinks craft beer and tries to cook, I have a little collection of cast iron and carbon steel pans. I had the worst luck with seasoning my matfer carbon steel pan so I stopped using it for two years. Magically, its now non-stick and its my new egg pan. So weird

I'm doing my part to mirror and seed archive.org/details/2025...

I really liked Blasphemous, and I'm looking forward to their Pentiment game store.steampowered.com/app/1309710/...

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)

sometimes my photo library reminds me I have this photo, and I just laugh and laugh and laugh Stolen top tier apes was the funniest shit ever

I started reading Pilgrim: A Medieval Horror and I came across this gem

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/b... So you're just going to ignore the entire nazi salute? Great journalism here German Lopez, this middle of the road summary is further normalizing our giant shift to the right.

It's always worth a rewatch

It's a shame Nathan Ballingrud is not on here, as I cannot personally inject myself into his life with my unhealthy parasocial relationship I've formed with horror authors because I loved Crypt of The Spider Moon and cannot wait for the next book.

Paused squats suuuuck

Hearing of Lynch's passing feels like hearing of a family member dying. He was the main reason why I decided to pick up a camera in February 2018, and for that alone I will always be grateful for his inspiring, moving work. "One day the sadness will end, but I don't think today's the day." 💙💙💙💙💙

The visionary David Lynch is gone. There are no words. Rest in peace to an absolute original.

Fuck... David Lynch was a huge influence and inspiration. I had watched all of his films, and loved Twin Peaks. I was so excited for The Return, but always thought we would get one more full feature film out of him. Sad day indeed

I really enjoyed It Rides a Pale Horse by Andy Marino. It went from cozy horror with bros to really uncomfortable and horrible And then it just kept going further. Creative and imaginative in punishing me for continuing to read Also, really happy about how Clementine was handled. Sweet lil Clemmy
