A day after learning about MapRoulette, I've already created my own challenge: filling in capacity for bike parking. Use Street View to estimate the number of bikes that can be parked at a spot. I'm already addicted to my own challenge!

I just exited a fugue state with a more filled out @openstreetmap.bsky.social laying before me

Proud to live in California where sports betting is still illegal. It probably won't be for long, so let's savor it

Discord chat from two people who used my retro setup this weekend. An accidental peek into the games I have loaded on my PS2

"I really want to bike to this Applebee's but I'm not sure if there's bike parking!" You're not gonna believe this,

90% of new ladder owners think "Dang it I knew I needed the longer ladder"

Thanks for letting me know I can't turn 👍 I'm headed straight tho (first submission to @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social )

Whenever I think it's a waste of time to lug out my old crap, someone drops a 43 hit combo on Marvel vs Capcom 2 with an ASCIIWare arcade stick

Tan colored sunscreen lets me microdose what wearing makeup is like

Thought I'd put myself out there and audition for a part in the local haunted house. First day went great. Then a freak rain storm delayed the opening a week. Now I'm getting sick a day before the first dress rehearsal. Maybe next year...

Looking through historical documents has taught me one thing: they couldn't spell for shit

Anyone interesting in researching accessibility in gaming might want to check out Videogaming Illustrated, Number 4 in the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social magazine library. They talk about the KY Enterprises range of accessible controllers. Hard name to google now. Not sure if they released widely

I am a middle aged businessman with a single Weedle hanging out in a battle zone. AMA

I ordered Pokemon Legends Z-A and they sent me a box set of David Lynch and Mark Frost's masterpiece TV show Twin Peaks! What the hell??

And that's 100% achievements on Voxelgram 2. I cried a little, then immediately bit into Voxelgram 1+ and DLC

Power went out. My dad mode kicked in and I grabbed the portable battery and plugged in the fridge. Unbelievable feeling of accomplishment. The power came back on in an hour or so and no food would have been wasted. I still earned those dad points though

Surprising how cozy @goldenidol.bsky.social can feel. The music lulls me into a detective mood. And the final "Everything is correct" fanfare is so satisfying. Almost done with dlc 1 of 4

Before today, only the two bike lockers near the train station had been mapped in Orange, CA. I saw more that I could not map without my family further leaving me behind

On today's fifty minute train ride I: Ate filo and ice cream Sang Wheels on the bus Read a pop up book Toured the train car Taught kid how to play Patty Cake Assisted in climbing the bike holder bars Tickled Chased kid up and down Tried to sleep (fail) Couldn't do any of that in a car

Always a pleasure to run into Jess Rullifson's Invisible Wounds at the library. My second random encounter with it (full disclosure, the second chapter is my story)

Doing the smallest thing I can to help bicycle infrastructure: adding bike parking locations to Open Street Map. When I first saw my city, the downtown area had exactly one bike spot added to the map. When I'm done, every spot will be located. I have more plans to survey everything in city limits.

Watched Let Me In (2010) after initially dismissing it as another unnecessary American horror remake in vogue at the time. Strikingly similar to The Batman in cinematography, color pallet, and direction. I couldn't say the same with his Apes films. They both have an in-car crash sequence!

Alright I'm just gonna take a ten minute break to practice the final boss. Oh crap I beat the game. Anyway I now have eight free days until Pokemon Z-A. Maybe time to catch up on The Rise of the Golden Idol DLC

In Silksong, I think damage on touch is stupid but could hear arguments in favor of it. Damage on touch for enemies who can teleport directly into your path is straight up evil. Can you guess which boss I'm stuck on?

Pros and cons of maxing out assist on an ebike: Cons: We need to conserve energy. You never know when you might need it in an emergency. You'll have to charge it more often. The battery will wear out faster. Pros: Wheee!

Mom can we go to the arcade? We have the arcade at home Arcade at home:

My home automation be like: you know what, it's sundown somewhere

I thought I would be done with Silksong in time for Final Fantasy Tactics. Now I'm just hoping I'll be done in time for Pokemon Z-A

Home Depot getting into the spooky spirit by releasing black cats into the store

As I fall further down the Björk-hole (right next to the recently vacated Phantogram and Mitski holes) I realize I have heard just about zero songs of hers. How is this possible? 40 million records sold, worldwide status, and I've heard nothing?

Once again, I have to rely on random coffee shop music to teach me that Björk is an Actually Good Artist instead of some abstract music meme

Existence JUSTIFIED

Pulled my crap out of mothballs to set up at Riverside Game Lab. Someone play it to justify my existence

Mom said it's my turn to break street date (not telling who did it. I'm no snitch)

Today's loaves for a family who can barely get their act together long enough to provide basic sustenance (mine)

Brioche for a post-birth mom (unrelated to me). You have a kid, you get a loaf from me

Silksong fixes a problem I have with souls-like corpse running. Ten attempts into a boss, zero currency left, my empty useless corpse glows there, mocking me. In Silksong when I recover my corpse, even with zero rosary beads, I get a full silk gauge. Super useful for the beginning of a boss fight

I'm now several mosaics in and Voxelgram 2 is indeed a masterpiece. The two color mechanic means there are now four puzzles happening at the same time: the regular 3D nonogram, two colors, and the intersections between the colors. Balancing them all while remaining 100% logical is quite the feat

E-scooters are awesome, until you get a flat. Then the tires are impossible to remove. I'm surgically separating this one to add a solid tire. Hopefully it will last a few years. After this I have three to go...

I'm learning how to edit Open Street Maps so I can add bike parking and other bike infrastructure in my city

A few months ago I finished all three Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Pokedexes and wondered if I should become a shiny guy. Since then I now have nearly 100 shiny forms. Am I a shiny guy then?

Thanks to someone on the @insertcredit.com podcast for letting me know Voxelgram 2 is out. I'm struggling with the two color mechanic, but I have a feeling it will be transformative for 3D nonogram. A real before and after, deceptively simple mechanic we'll all wonder how it never existed beforehand

I'm thinking of doing something stupid. Just need tie down straps...

The Dreamcast-Neo Geo Pocket connector cable box looks like prescription anti fungal cream

Perfect time to buy Jess Ruliffson's Invisible Wounds, which chronicles twelve veteran's diverse stories during @fantagraphics.bsky.social 30% off sale! Full disclosure, my story is in chapter 2

Did @necrosoftgames.com and @teamcherry.bsky.social conspire to ruin my life, or at least my September?

Gazpacho soup. For the lazies who just take stuff out of the fridge and eat it
