Scrounged together some parts to go with my old processor and graphics card, and made a compact gaming PC that fits in my tv media center. Honestly shocked at how easy setting up a Linux gaming PC is and how well it just... works, for the most part. And presumably it will only improve.

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

It's too late, I have already depicted myself as the laughing Bernie Sanders and you as the sullen Eric Adams.

My New Year's Resolution:

Woe, mug wall of disassociation upon ye

any discussion of city transit improvement online ever

popping three adderall before i play armored core to better simulate mech pilot combat stims

Fun fact: I used to live literally just over a block up Blue Lick Road from the internet infamous house at 8800 Blue Lick Road.

People will say downtown in their city is dangerous like they've never been in the parking lot of a grocery store in an upper middle class part of town the day before a holiday

The greatest and often unreported irony here is that the Alt-Right's WHOLE FUCKING PITCH to young men was "get your shit together, hit the gym, help us turn this country around, and you will be swimming in women" only for "Who did you vote for in '24?" to be the inflection point of their loneliness.

Step into my office, we need to talk about all the PTO you didn't use this calendar year

The movie might be bugfuck insane but it does have the Ghidorah kissing scene and I know you’ll all agree with me

guess who was somehow allowed onto a podcast about godzilla had an absolutely lovely time and said some wild shit as always thank you derek and charlotte!! 💜✧

We snuck one last movie in for the very end of the year, and it's a big one! @dollblood.garden and I were joined by @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social to talk about the absolutely bugfuck insane Godzilla: Final Wars. What the hell did we just watch? Out now on your pod service of choice! pca.st/wd23ym6r

We must destroy short form video content

I'm not sure it's co-option so much as just, like... doing the same thing again.

People keep asking me how much I charge for a schmeat schmooshin. Brother, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

It was a late contender but a few people got mad at me for saying I was going to fight someone over a bad boomery Teams message at work. Bluesky is of course famously populated by Thermians who take every word 100% literally, so in their defense they thought I was preparing to commit felony assault.

I think last night I discovered Sleep 2

My body is a machine that turns calories into confusing my wife

Time to go bCk to the old mr (,weedless)

Lord forgive me but its time to go back to da old me (too young to drive)

What if I destroyed one (1) man before the year is over Just went for that 3 point shot at the buzzer Just fuckin, a shitty frat guy nobody knows, of no consequence Just ruined him And promised to be good in 2026

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

Mass Effect style dialogue wheel except the only dialogue options ever offered are "No, yeah, for sure." and "Damn, that's crazy"

WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED

Loadbearing post for the upcoming episode

I'm all locked in for PAX East, so if anybody is putting together panel submissions last minute (like I did) and is itching for experienced panelists, they're always one of my favorite parts of doing PAX!

Normal things to ask while watching Godzilla

Bored and indoors on a Saturday night, got the urge to boot up the original Diablo to kill some time, figured I'd stream and chat. Swing by and say hi! I'll be live in just a minute. twitch.tv/derbycityderek

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Folks We have achieved soup

Hail to the King

It is with a heavy heart and lead in my stomach that I write this, but I can not keep this secret any longer. I'm the person who gave Lotus Juice two benadryl right before he recorded for Persona 3 Reload.

We turnin Christmas ham into sooouuup Haven't done an old school ham and bean soup with the bone and everything in a while, and there's a lot of meat left on this ham, so it's time to bring down the industrial sized stock pot and make enough soup to feed an army

Why is Godzilla: Final Wars like this I could not fit all of the things I have to say into this post

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

I just love Discworld so much y'all

Fellow creatives. Please. Going into the new year. Give yourselves some credit and remove the "aspiring" part of your bio. "Aspiring" voice actor. "Aspiring" writer. If you're working on being the thing? You ARE the thing. You may be aspiring toward a certain goal? But you ARE the thing. <3

Gather round children and I shall tell you the legend of Marie Kondo

Miraculous Crimbo, friends!

Dude. You'll never believe what just happened. I was visited by three spirits.

A lot of people throw around the term narcissist very freely these days, but the vast majority of you have never dealt with an honest to god narcissist and I pray you never have to. My mother-in-law is diagnosed NPD and I gotta tell you the real ones are next level. I hope you never understand.
