I had my first fiddle lesson tonight, why didn't anyone warn me that learning to play a new instrument is hard??

We have the capability of calling each other remotely, and yet Minfilia has put out a Return to Waking Sands mandate for the whole org

I was telling myself I was over this head cold enough to go to work today, then remembered a key fact: I don't care about my job So I took another sick day to loll about the house and play video games

Paperback pre-orders are live for my new short fiction collection! If you've ever wondered what it's like to drive trucks for C'thulu, work for a malicious AI, or push the big red button, this one is for you. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GZLVS9K1 #Booksky #Scifi 🪐📚

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Probably more Elden Ring as I take on Raya Lucaria, making a big assumption about this head cold resolving itself by then 💍Thu 7pm - Elden Ring 💍Sun 7pm - Elden Ring All times PST #ENVtuber #Vtuber #Vsky #schedule

Being sick sucks. I will have to take solace in all of the work meetings, slack pings, and email alerts I get to avoid by taking a sick day

The hardest part of the FF14 free trial is not being able to trawl the market boards for cool outfit pieces. Just stuck wearing hodgepodge items gained from the MSQ

GOOD MORNING MINTO!!! Happy Meido Day to those who celebrate.

Convinced my friends to join me on a hike through a 2 mile long train tunnel with no lights! The Snoqualmie Tunnel is pitch black, super cold, and an existential crisis all in one! So glad most of us made it out. #pnw #snoqualmie #PalouseToTCascadesTrail #photography

I have cracked the code to really enjoy my time with FF14: 1) Just stick with MSQ/Class quests (sorry crafting) 2) Don't look at anything online about the game Really I should apply these rules to every game I play

Meeting with an interior designer today to settle on colors, layouts, and pick wallpapers. I still have time to hard pivot to the Church of Maizono aesthetic!

Do I give into the uchigatana temptation? Stick with my trusty claws? Or find a new temptress of a weapon on this Weeping Peninsula? youtube.com/live/WIk8g5z... www.twitch.tv/sannishvtuber #VTuber #ENVtuber #VSky #EldenRing

I wish Steam gave me the option to only notify me on full game releases. I never want to be told about games going into early access! Or even worse, early access games going on sale.

A friend is moving within walking distance! That will put me at four friends nearby! Living the adult dream: walking to visit and meet up with friends

I got my claws, I got my one spell, that's all a foxboy needs to take on the back half of Stormveil -- or I will flee to the Weeping Peninsula youtube.com/live/OJ6PWHm... www.twitch.tv/sannishvtuber #VTuber #ENVtuber #VSky #EldenRing

Sometimes recruiters send me job listings that I am qualified for, but the description is just so so bad that I have to laugh Today's email has the next steps as a "short AI interview" Buddy, there is no way that will ever happen

Some people at work have such bad takes that I wish I could block them on slack

I am remembering what truly brings me joy at work: writing janky scripts to do things they shouldn't, yet somehow get the job done anyway This time featuring python calling jira apis to build and send plain html emails

All these fancy tools: reporting platforms, dashboards, slackbots, and what do people keep asking for? Automated plain html emails, so they don't have to remember or care about these tools

A friend brought me cookies this afternoon, thus solving the riddle of what to eat for dinner

I have lost all heat tolerance through the winter. Now on the first hot day of the year I am dying. It was 76F What has the Pacific Northwest done to me

Elden Goals for the week: cheese some bosses, kite some enemies, chortle in glee as I only engage in unfair fights. 💍Wed 7pm - Elden Ring 💍Thu 7pm - Elden Ring 💍Sun 7pm - Elden Ring 🎨: skeb.jp/@subtle_dawn All times PST #ENVtuber #Vtuber #Vsky #schedule

I ended up 9 levels ahead of the MSQ in FF14. So I started another job to be appropriately leveled -- it is now 4 levels above the MSQ merely through class quests and the hunting log! I need to appreciate this bountiful XP gain while I have it

Almost had to cancel a dinner and anime night with friends because I couldn't get a jar open while doing cooking prep Who would win? 1 foxboy or 1 jar of pimentos

For the first time it actually happened! I refreshed the USPS tracking page for a package and the delivery date got moved up from Wednesday to Monday! Miracles do happen! Keep refreshing those tracking pages!

I understand the benefits of social logins (login with Google, login with Facebook, etc.) but I am annoyed every single time I see them and they are placed above the regular email/password login. I don't want to link everything together! Let me be free!

Almost went down the home networking rabbit hole of buying a new router, switches, NAS, cables to match. Then spending a day or four setting it all up. Turns out the problem is just that one of the ethernet ports on my Comcast modem died. So switching ports around fixed the problem

I made a critical mistake of planning. I started the FF14 free trial while simultaneously booking out my weekend with socializing. All brunch and hosting friends for anime night while my poor bunny boy will sit there wondering about the next MSQ objective

Phone calls...

Streambot struggles and then maybe Elden Ring if it all works out past the scuff. youtube.com/live/yxe8zc4... www.twitch.tv/sannishvtuber #VTuber #ENVtuber #VSky #EldenRing

8am meetings should not be allowed. In particular 8am meetings to talk about AI slack bots. Nobody liked this.

Time to start a nice cozy stream of Elden Ring! It will be my first time doing a magic play through and I am ready to cheese some enemies at range! www.twitch.tv/sannishvtuber youtube.com/live/BpbUY5G... #VTuber #ENVtuber #VSky #EldenRing

Always amazed when an engineering manager pushes back with "Whoa, that is just Too Hard for my team! They would have to learn a whole new thing?? Literally impossible" Sorry your team is shit?

Acquired my first violin just in time for classes starting next month! Either this will go absolutely great or I will pretend I never once thought about violins

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

The era of dashboard is now behind us. The people want custom email reports, slack reports, and AI chat bots integrated with slack. No one wants to remember the URL for yet another tool

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

I see all these posts excited by FF14 and it really makes me want to play! Except I have played! And couldn't ever quite get into it enough. My poor white mage lies there, abandoned, in a ditch on the outskirts of Gridania

I had a crisis of faith for what I should stream next. Instead of overthinking I picked a cozy comfort game from my To Stream backlog: Elden Ring. 💍Wed 7pm - Elden Ring 💍Thu 7pm - Elden Ring 🎨: skeb.jp/@subtle_dawn All times PST #ENVtuber #Vtuber #Vsky #schedule

Like a fool I started playing Vampire Crawlers on Friday. It is now Sunday. I have nothing I planned on doing. I know I should step away to do at least one of them. And yet.

When the uptime on my laptop starts getting high I put up with more and more issues to put off that inevitable reboot. Got to get that uptime high score!

Normalize telling your friends that you love them and currently aren't planning to betray them

I have a month to prep for GMing a new campaign! Tonight I start to hammer out some details and do a little chatting on the side. www.twitch.tv/sannishvtuber youtube.com/live/wEsXQDQ... #VTuber #ENVtuber #VSky #TTRPG #worldbuilding

Successfully used an 18' ladder without getting a lifelong spine injury! Then set myself up to not need to do that again (I hope)

I made it onto the anti-AI blocklist used by bluesky staff! I'm somebody now!

Today is my 13-year anniversary of a daily journal! Clocking in at 3.1M words written of entirely quotidian musings. It has helped me be more mindful of how I spend my days, improved my memory, and gave me an outlet for more in depth thoughts and processing when needed

Realizing it is way easier to draw something myself, badly, than wade through a swamp of AI generated results online

What if instead of fighting my current obsession I just lean into it and stream Windrose all week? 🦜 Wed 7pm - Windrose 🦜 Thu 7pm - Windrose 🎤 Fri 7pm - Chat & RPG Worldbuilding 🦜 Sun 7pm - Windrose 🎨: skeb.jp/@subtle_dawn All times PST #ENVtuber #Vtuber #Vsky #schedule
