welp time to write yet another retrospective blog about a music venue that was super important to me closing down

has only seen two episodes voice: i feel like the density of G Reco is overblown by people who skipped Victory

oh to start 2026 with image/video AI generators to be on path to be banned after the grok csam debacle

"SKINHEAD OCTOPUS CHICKEN SHIT" forever lives rent free in my head

New year, sure - but I'm still drawing a goddamn pokemon every day. Did you know the 'firework pokemon' is a weird clown looking thing? I sure didn't until I picked it for the NYE entry. For New Year's Day I chose something simpler which turned out to be a sentient butt. Pokemon has layers, man.

Just experienced fireworks and snow at the same time and I’m so happy rn. Watched Mamdani getting sworn in, 2026 off to a good start lmfao

Instead of the usual 'here's all the things I did this year' I opted to just reflect a bit and share some recent photos including moons, snow, new techos, music gear sticker updates and a ridiculous photo of Possum A happy 2026 to all whom try for better in a world falling apart

Some intentional selections, some RNG - please enjoy the last few Daily Dex entries. I was surprised to see such a normal-ass pokemon as national dex entry 666 but then again it's nice to not have everything dictated by judeo-christian hegemony.

Nothing like looking back over your end of year photo haul and realizing you photographed the moon less than any other year on record where you were photographing the moon. Anyway, enjoy some multiple lens shenanigans:

evergreen moment in Land of the Lustrous (2017)

Centurions are incarnations of the Queen’s order manifested as avatars of violence. It is said that their power of these commanders does not dwindle with their numbers, and that the few who remain wield the ferocity of the hundreds who fought before them.

Daily Dex continues (albeit a little delayed by holidays). For christmas I drew a cursed santa bird. Enjoy!

I’ve got a new record called ‘Thumbtack’ coming out 1/22 thru Julia’s War Records. Few tracks streaming now. Cassettes avail in March. I suck at posting here but this is what I worked on this year loadcard.bandcamp.com/album/thumbt... - #rock #indie #electronic #music #diy

i don't think you should be openly hostile to people coming from Twitter but it is not remotely adversarial to ask why "Twitter making AI unavoidable" was the breaking point versus "every third poster is an unrepentant white supremacist who yearns for genocide of queer people and ethnic minorities"

influx of new users? ok I got this post cat paws

Also think it's good to remember that under fascism and authoritarianism, laws and rules are selectively enforced to target undesirables, which also creates a culture of fear that this could be you if you step out of line and become undesirable

Seasons greasons, today's daily dex entry is a haunted tree pokemon in honor of the christmas (Also a there's a Tyrunt in there from yesterday)

Happy Tokyo Godfathers day to all whom celebrate. (if you don't own it, it's streaming on Tubi)

My year-end anime post for @glorioblog.bsky.social is about finally watching Planetes and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and lamenting how their visions of corporate-controlled futures have so much more ambition than our actual stupid capitalist world. obsidianmoonshine.com/public/1-blo...

oh hey it's me talking about Hyper Light Breaker again (A game I enjoyed!) The game was cancelled and most of the staff let go back in October, but someone put it on the steam sale and it looks like the publisher had to step in to clarify it's actually dead. The whole thing is just really sad.

omfg this scene is still so goddamn funny, a timeless moment in anime history

this is so fuckin satisfying dude all of the scene renders for all 12 of the dodie videos are now up on my cara here cara.app/oats <3

This week I learned about Frigibax and it may be my favorite design of the current generation?? Sad sack ice dragon?? What is there not to love!! Anyway, here's your daily dex entries for yesterday and today

It's the solstice, and like every year, I've done close-up photos of every cat in the rescue to make one of these ridiculous gifs Spin the wheel and either pause (or use screenshot) to let me know which cat you got I'll tell you what it predicts for your 2026 blog.curiousquail.com/happy-solsti...

anyway, seasons greasons (the court will also accept Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz)

warning: yearly solstice cat gif coming tomorrow morning, please look forward to it

The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients. Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility: www.indiegameawards.gg/faq

In today's daily dex post, I learn about another deer pokemon that just happens to have a winter-themed variant. Here's Thursday through today, enjoy!

I love it when you say "I think this country is fundamentally evil" and white right wingers shout "THEN LEAVE" as if that's like, even remotely an option lmfao?? Not even saying this as a person who works in immigration law; moving is expensive! moving COUNTRIES is worse!! VISAS are a nightmare!!!

I LOVE MY TRANS COMRADES

It should be one of the industry's biggest shames that crunch and 'mandatory overtime'-ridden studios like ND are still allowed to win "Best direction" awards despite their clear mismanagement. What about ruining your workers lives shows you're "Directing" a work properly?

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

All these fuckers are doing is creating a generation that will remember how you didn’t just abandon them, you intentionally tried to snuff them out. Protect trans youth. Now and always.

the joy of logging on AFTER the person everyone is quote dunking on has blocked them, so you only see half context and can remain blissfully unaware of what horrid shit was on the other side.

Q: Does grabbing a free Epic game still support the developers? A: I don't know, but why risk it? There are a lot of other games out there… Q: Sounds like you're leading up to something? A: You got me! ZERO TRANSPHOBES WERE INVOLVED IN THE MAKING OF SEASONSPREE! www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

With AI brainrot permeating in seemingly every tech company executive suite, I've been thinking a lot about how @procreate.com exists as a model for companies who don't want to AI trend chase. (For when the bubble bursts and Adobe Fresco starts adding dogs to images without anyone asking it to)

Daily Dex continues! Here's the photos from Monday through today. I wanted a snow pokemon for today AND wanted to get snow in the photo itself. Kinda worked??

tired of having to replace my browser every few years because of horseshit bloat features being shoved in is there a non-chromium based browser that isn’t AI-ridden or actively spying on you at this point?

the teeth on this shot crack me up every time

It's that time of year where I reflect on games I played that were released in this year (or the final months of 2024) and put thoughts to blog Please enjoy MSD's GOTY Indecision Blowout 2025 Kicking off with a blog about @nitrogenomega.bsky.social, a game I will absolutely not shut up about:

Gonna be so mad if that writers guild filing is accurate and what spoils the next Godzilla x Kong villain purely because that’s the silliest way to spoil things

Man I was promised snow when I moved to new england and it's become such a rarity now lmfao Anyway, here's a bunch of photos and gifts of today's winter wonderland, please enjoy

Nothing like photographing all the snow happening right now to remind me "Hey uhhh you gotta edit and post the last few days of pokemon first my dude" Please enjoy! (Also reminder that I take requests; Hisiuan Typhlosion was another for @kaffetorst.bsky.social )

This is absolutely bonkers. Having worked with the intricacies of Apple IDs as both a consumer AND as en ex Apple employee on the Cloud m Services org there is absolutely no reason they cannot restore access. They are actively choosing to lock Paris out.

Honestly two of them are at the now defunct Metreon in San Francisco. The first was Fellowship of the Ring with the power going out due to an electrical fire the moment the Balrog was on screen, and the second was seeing Final Fantasy Spirits Within at a special pre-release event with Sakaguchi

I see people sharing lists of 50 indie game recommendations. I decided to make one for fun. backloggd.com/u/KyleLabrio...

I’M DOING MY PART

I think the sooner you stop looking for validation of your favorite media from nebulous award organizations, the healthier your relationship with that media will be.
