For years I've often used an image for profile pics of me in Japan with an owl perched on my arm and a cup of coffee in my other hand. The unanimous question after seeing the pic tends to be "Is that your owl?" The answer is no, and every goddamn day I wish the answer was yes.

New Wish for 2026: I hope LinkedIn dies by the end of the year. Looking at posts on that site for more than a few minutes made me want to choke on my own puke.

Our girl is finally free. #CookiesBustle #Cookie #RetroGaming

BREAKING: We've freed Cookie. Following an investigation by VGHF, Ukie and Web Capio have suspended DMCA takedowns for Cookie's Bustle on behalf of Graceware, SL. More info:

Final update on the Los Angeles parking complex tally chart: Ass has won by a considerable amount. Granted, the legitimacy of this victory has yet to be determined.

An update on the Los Angeles parking complex tally chart: Ass is winning by a considerable amount, though tits is starting to catch up.

Flashback to a healthcare job I had interviewing patients about their lifestyle. During onboarding, I asked the instructor what to do if there were cultural differences that could change the standard process. She said "You just have to question everything, huh?" That was the only question I asked.

No, I certainly don't have feelings for the smoking lady on the pizza shop's TV screen. Shut up

My contribution to the city of Los Angeles

I may be new at this, but the more I study how to code, the dumber and and dumber "vibe coding" ends up seeming.

Fuck, I hate living in this shithole.

I really have to wonder how BlueSky's algorithm came to the conclusion today that I was into Zootopia vore imagery. I'm not into it; you'd know if I was. I am unfortunately not into seeing Nick Wilde eating his loving partner Judy Hopps whole. I can only assume she's loving. Never saw either film.

All this Highguard drama has only just reminded me of the time my friend attempted to get me a Concord beanie as a joke merely two days before the game's shutdown. Sadly, Concord merch was canned not long after the game was, so no beanie for me. God, it would've been such a good conversation piece.

To Media Freaks of Bluesky: What's a good VCR to get for recreating authentic VHS video? I think I've worked out the process of transferring it to digital, but now I just need to know what kind of hardware would work best. Any help's mighty appreciated. #VHS #VideoEditing #Retro

I'm sure it's a popular question at the moment, but to all the expats out there: what's the best way to find work outside of the US? Just having a good old bout of immense shame for being born in the US, as usual. Figured I'd get some input if possible.

God. Words can't express how much I needed a game like Skate Story in my life right about now. It plays phenomenally, and is stylistically perfect.

I'm on an Amtrak bus wherein the guy in the row next to me has decided to leave his phone's audio on to watch videos. Most of what he's watched has been ads. It's fucking 2AM.

Really hope social media dies soon. Like, the whole damn thing; the entire kit n' kaboodle. Throw it all in the bin, yesiree.

FINALLY!

Another day, another realization that Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1986 goth-rock classic Tinderbox is a near-perfect album.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Been nearly a year since I transferred my Spotify library to digital/physical (buying when possible) and you know what? It feels great knowing I'll never see a dumbass yearly wrap-up again. No more "You're a turbo quirk nerdypuss!!!" after monitoring how much 90s techno I listened to this year. 🎉

I want to frame this & put it on my wall.

Beat System Shock 2 for the third time last night, this time with the remaster. One thing that continues to baffle me is how strong the rest of the game is compared to the last quarter. You'd think a mapless maze through fleshy tunnels in a cosmic being would be cool, but nope. Still love the game.

All this talk of people jumping ship to another social media site makes me wish social media would just kinda stop. If the inevitable fate of all these platforms is to be run by real weirdos with abundant ambivalence for their users and standards, then maybe we just put it down for good.

Witnessed someone eating a tuna wrap and drinking a milkshake soon after. That just seems so rancid and unpleasant. Die.

Sometimes I think about making a video series where I look through my crusty old Nintendo Power/GameInformer mags from the 2000s, except I'm wearing fucked up monster costume gloves to confuse the viewer whenever my hands come into frame

lots more laseractive rips for ares went up in the past few days, including.... techdocs.exodusemulator.com/Console/Pion...

Someone at work told me today that I look like a bald Robert Pattinson. Quite frankly, it's left me feeling like I just drank cleaning supplies from under the sink, and not entirely in a bad way either.

Finished my third playthrough of New Vegas, and I'm baffled by my continued willingness to keep the game installed. I saw credits again, and thought "Yeah, I'll probably start another save soon". Not to sound like a YouTuber fresh out of ideas for a video, but New Vegas really is a timeless gem.

Is the world truly out to get you? Are they trying to kill your dreams in cold blood? Do they want to smite you for the mere sin of breathing? Just Don't Die #art #design #sticker

Going through old hard drives is such a wild time tbh. I used to have such a different style, and honestly? I should try to adopt it again. #design #art

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

No, YouTube. I don't want to watch how someone beat Oblivion by only using cheese wheels. Nor do I want to watch how someone beat Zelda by only jumping once. I also don't want to see how Dead Space can be beaten by only using the stomp ability to move. I wanna watch men kiss and hug and smooch and

Sudden urge to force someone into porting Bloodblorne to PC. Not sure what it's gonna take, FromSoft, but I'm getting desperate here.

Stunning! A pigeon doing backflips.

I beat the Silent Hill 2 remake about six months ago, and for some reason it's been on my mind again. I remember enjoying it a fair amount, but still have a hard time justifying its existence over the original. Like it was a fine remake, but I still wonder why it was even made (apart from profit).

Real question: anyone know how to turn off that "Transition to Windows 11" message whenever you turn on certain computers? Just being reminded that Win11 exists is giving me severe reflux, and my insides crave relief.

Man, you artsy types did NOT warn me about the amount of spam emails I'd get once I made my own portfolio site.

Hm. Oppa Gangnam Style

Another day, another afternoon where I come to the realization that Massive Attack's 1998 album Mezzanine is an electronic-industrial masterpiece that very few can rival in terms of variety and quality.

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller July 26,1949

Made something for a worldbuilding concept I've been thinking up. Also been in a bit of a 60s/70s cover art mood as of late.

This is the summer that finally taught me to hate humidity. I'm so wet and life is so hard.

This is exactly what it feels like to be bald.

The Bay Area is so beautiful and the tech people in it so vile it gives me Kaczynski-adjacent thoughts every time I consider it.

Love this modern society where it's considered acceptable for employers to invite you to an interview, and then completely forget about it the next day. Definitely not a slap in the face and a waste of my time, no sir.
