I think my favorite anime trope is when two characters get surprised or embarrassed socially by a third party, and one jumps out the window while wishing the other good luck

Back before I quit drinking, this used to be one of my go to listens at the end of a long night. While I have complicated feelings as a result, it's not the fault of this wonderful performance by The Great One youtu.be/dWRCooFKk3c?...

I've decided the first Frog and Toad post I see every morning is my horoscope for the day. My chosen superstition.

When you're watching your morning video and someone drops a reference to Phineas Gage, it's a portent for... something.

When the morning posts line up, iykyk

New pet peeve: dodging questions by starting your answer with "Do you really think..."

Administration officials out there making Tim and Eric characters look like Humphrey Bogart

You either die an unga, or live long enough to become the bunga

Changing my PIN to 0911, so I'll never forget.

Anime names in western medieval settings be like:

I'm late to the party, but I finally got my head around Age of Wonders 4 and it's scratching that itch so good. A nice pivot from EU5 while it gets worked on, and feels very fresh after years of Total War: Warhammer. Hopefully I get some good mileage out of the vanilla game before looking at DLCs!

Inject this straight into my veins

Well I told myself last year I'd get Hard Boiled on 4k, but couldn't afford to get The Killer too. Well, now I'm $45 poorer and fine with it

Brain cleanse: every time I see a post where someone misses their pets, I give my dog a scratch or a hug. So while y'all may be feeling low, I hope it's a small comfort that through sharing you are improving my pets' day!

Good night to finally watch Superman 2025

It really is as simple as psychosexual neurosis with these people. They'd benefit from therapy if they didn't think it'd turn them gay.

Not an original take but JFC he's president David Brent

When did Hugh Jackman start to look like Craig Ferguson? Important questions to conclude 2025

Me watching anime: This is pretty good, but I don't know if I'm actually enjoying this or more enjoying analyzing it Me watching anime while dealing with medical issues: Naruto should be the president, that'd fix America

Nursing a toothache this week, reminds me of the saying "Tragedy is when I stub my toe, comedy is when you fall into a hole and die."

The new video game I'm playing is very buggy. I'm uncertain if this is enhancing or reducing my joy.

Watching my dog's eyes dilate in real time when I pick up his frisbee is one of my great pleasures getting me through 2025. Like watching a camera lens operate

Why do I keep trying to make Searing Blow runs work in Slay the Spire? Heartbreak every time.

Criterion Closet but it's your first grade classroom's cubby holes

In the bag you see: an emerald, rations, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, a throwing axe, and a spell book.

I wonder if this is what the 60s felt like

Watching fighting games on YouTube lately, Street Fighter 6 in particular. I didn't have the reflexes 20 years ago, but damn is it fun to watch and fantasize about being good at them.

When you decide to check out the subreddit for your new interest

Watched Ran (on 4k) for the first time in 20 years last night. While I'm no Shakespeare expert, I can see why some people say it's the best film adaptation of Lear. What an absolute feast for the eyes, I can't imagine what seeing it on the big screen back in the day was like!

Life is chaos and pain. Shop S-Mart.

Fist of Legend with Jet Li - still whips ass

I've really been trying to keep an even keel while using Bluesky with NSFW content allowed. Between all the puppy boys, vore/feeder enthusiasts and tragically horny depression posts I was getting pretty good at muting/blocking and moving on. Today I'm throwing in the towel, y'all perverts have fun

Me when I'm confused beyond all possible hope of understanding

Literally picking up drawing for the first time since I was a kid - at least as far as consistent practice goes. I'm trying to do 30 minutes a day, just getting the muscle memory and familiarity down with a cheap pencil and pad. And I remember I hate being left handed sometimes.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

Tonight: the back half of Barry Lyndon. Let's gooo

You either die a Guybrush, or live long enough to become the Threepwood.

"Hi! You look like you're in a stand off in a cemetery, would you like some help with that?" - Lee Van Clippy

If you see this, post a redhead.

I have discovered toxic YouTube videos of rage bait revenge stories over repetitive videogames footage. Incredibly disturbing, also the tropes are fascinating and hilarious. "My cheating wife had expensive tastes" could be a full on drinking game.

Water, water everywhere. But not a drop of rain.

I'm sure it's not an original observation but AI evangelists remind me of tech priests in W40K. "Crafting the right prompt" is the first step on the road to burning incense to appease the machine spirits

I can't be the only person who uses their nose to activate their fitbit when my hands are full... ... right?

Me the night before I board my dogs

Thank you FitBit for clocking my 18 minute swim without leaving my living room

Made some chicken soup but unsure if I'm ready to add the noodles. Dinner may be a whole loaf of french bread, liberally dipped

Cowboy Bebop still has one of the best soundtracks of all time. Pure joy in the car!

Spring always makes me feel better, very few bare trees left this week!

It's all about the simple pleasures in life, like listening to a Californian take their best guess as to geography east of the Mississippi.
