i was like "HUH????" when i heard a new castlevania was announced and then i realized it's by the dead cells guys and was like oh yeah that makes sense after the crossover dlc www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3-S...

The Dutch love four-day working weeks, but are they sustainable?

Controversial Opinion: More food should be “ball” shaped. Sure we’ve got meat balls, rice balls and gum balls but where are the broccoli balls, the fruit balls and the olive balls? You should be able to make a salad just by pouring a bunch of balls into a bowl.

I’m thirsty AND I need to pee. Good lord! I’m stuck in a paradox! 🫣

I’m begrudgingly starting to accept the fact that I can only think properly if I talk aloud to myself …

Sal Busema has died at the age of 89, a comic legend at least to me, he never got the strong critical acclaim of guys like Jack Kirby, but if your the right fan you know how good he was, and if nothing else, I'm going to miss the way he drew punches in comics.

Oh great! Now you can’t even turn off your malware infested bloat-machines! Another win for #Windows! tech.slashdot.org/story/26/01/...

been working on a open source replacement for bento.me (which is shutting down) using your bluesky pds to save your data. still very much work in progress, but can be tried it out here (editing your blento currently desktop only): blento.app source code (svelte ofc :P): github.com/flo-bit/blento

I’ve discovered the secret to a perfect morning: Ice cream for breakfast. 🍨

My 6-year-old: Daddy, with no glasses and shaved, you look like Parker. Me: What, Peter Parker? Thanks man, that’s cool. 6yo: No no, Parker. From Thunderbirds. Me: Oh … <insert humorous gif of Parker from Thunderbirds. Yeah, good luck with that, take this as compensation:>

Man, DriveThruRPG is like crack! I just spent ANOTHER ton of money on there when I haven’t even gotten half way through the stuff I already have!!! Still … I feel less bad about buying stuff on there than random crap on Amazon. It’s at least feels like I’m supporting some form of independent art …

What’s that? X doing something gross? Never could’ve imagined. 🙄 news.kagi.com/s/4n4u7g

Oh, Kagi Small Web is a cool thing! Like retro internet, but with current websites. kagi.com/smallweb

I go back and forth between the idea of making a my own website. I guess I'm just concerned it would be too much of a mess. Like, I would just dump any old random stuff on there that I make or think. aftermath.site/website-musk...

In the LEGO shop. My kids are suitably excited. I’m suitably blasé, until: Me: Oh my god, look! It’s the NCC-1701-D! Family: The what? Me: Oh my god, the saucer section detaches?!? Family: Huh? Me: RIKER’S GOT A F&@#ING TROMBONE!!! Family: <walks away quietly > #StarTrek #nerd #nostalgia

How I’m entering the new year.

It sure is satisfying to finish one last book on New Year’s Eve. That makes a total of 21 books (including audiobooks and graphic novels, excluding single issue comics, kids books and short stories) finished this year. I’m a pretty slow reader so I’m actually really happy about that! 😁📚

It remains unclear, but if Trump told MTG "my friends will get hurt" by the release of the Epstein files, that sounds a heck of a lot like he's protecting pedophiles and gives all the more reason for them to release the unredacted files (minus victims' names) so the truth may finally be known.

I’ve finally done it. I’ve found my perfect local bar.

Oh sweet Jesus. Ive found a slice of real West Country joy here in Japan. Not sure how long it’s been available out here but I’m over the moon to find it. ❤️

YES! Love this artist!

You can learn a lot about a person based on who their favourite Muppet is.

Is it controversial to say that I just plain don’t like the design of 3D Pokémon? In pixel form I think look awesome and/or cute but in 3D I think they just look dumb…. 🤷

Just finished Guardians of the Galaxy. The game. Man. I really think this was the perfect game for me right now. Great length, humour, drama, visuals, sound. Fun combat. Story doesn’t drag. Doesn’t need too deep thought. Not too difficult but still challenging. A real banger.

Damn right. I ❤️ those Daddies! #Podcast #DungeonsAndDaddies Also, my other most-listened-to podcasts are equally amazing. Few things are as comforting to an expat as a decent podcast.

This is the most Christmassy Christmasing that I’ve seen Christmased this Christmas. 🎅

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

When in AD 2025 someone on social media responds to being corrected like a normal, decent adult who accepts they were wrong and makes no big deal of it:

My 6-year-old: “Daddy, are ghosts real?” Me: “No, not at all. “ 6: “Are dragons real?” M: “Nope.” 6: “Ogres?” M: “Nah. “ 6: “Superheroes?” M: “Ha! No way.” 6: “Santa?” M: (sweating) “What? Oh, yes! Definitely real. Very real!” 😬

Yeah, I love this movie too.

Oh, DuckStation has dropped Flatpak. That sucks. I prefer that over AppImage but as long as it remains supported I’ll take that over nothing. Still, it is a shame. www.patreon.com/posts/steamo...
