You'd think I'd have more time on a long weekend but since i was busy all Friday with one-time extra things, no energy today for Saturday chores and a lot of them getting pushed to Sunday. Chance of stream tomorrow is about 40% tops

Didn't think I'd be upgrading anything in this economy, but a friend doing his own upgrades gave me a great deal on his Radeon 7900, better than my RTX 3070. So finally away from nVidia, one more piece of the puzzle falls into place for the eventual Linux transition

Damn, feeling so chill today even on shitty sleep. Needed to go 20% harder on the cardio to hit target heart rate. Guess that says something about the usual stress levels XD Trying to resist the urge to overanalyze where the good feeling is coming from and just enjoy it

Oh yesterday would've been the perfect day to Fantasia to a lalafel in xiv. Uh I mean the April fools joke was that I didn't follow through! It's such a layered and complex prank, like high art 🧐

Chaucer said Aprille is whan the shoures come. He didn't say anything about snoues. That bitch

My brain literally any time (and I mean 100% of the time) someone mentions Franz Kafka: youtu.be/_MOEi5HmK5Q?...

XIV Pictomancer job: people who heard Bob Ross say beat the devil out of it and took it very literally

Movie review: History of the World Part 1. (Ignoring the "it was the 70s" content) I usually like Brooks but it fell flat for me. Felt like a homage to Monty Python movies/sketches that didn't live up to them. Only bright spot was the over-the-top Inquisition part with the Producers magic. 1¾/5

They say the first 80% is 20% of the work and the last 20% is 80% of the work. So if you can, when you're 80% done it's good to be able to say this is enough, it's fine, it's done. Today was a day like that. Crossed some stuff off the list as good enough, moving on to much more important things

Dang, that almost 4 hour stream basically took all day. Takes a long time to get everything set up again when it's been a while

Now starting: a fave of 12 year old me, Wing Commander: Privateer. Space combat, trading, upgrading your ship, you're minding your own business doing that grindset when the plot eventually sneaks up on you. Come settle into this sector of the galaxy on episode 1! twitch.tv/teamretrofox #furrylive

Gonna be streaming today, maybe restarting my old Sunday routine but not sure what the usual start time will be yet Starting an old space combat & trading game: Privateer. It's got a plot if you can find it, and maybe we will someday! Look out for the stream announcement in the next hour or two

Well I did it, and let me be the first to say, we all make mistakes in our life

So so so ready to get back to biking to work and the forecast keeps toying with my emotions. The bicycle's ready to go now anyway, might be able to use it tomorrow, we'll see :0

One of the ways adhd manifests for me is low tolerance for interruption. If I'm working on something and someone asks me to do something else, I might get snappy. Cause afterward I don't know if I'll remember what I was doing or even that i was doing something else at all. Not a fun cope though tbh

US Taxes (Savage) - Duty Complete

Definitely been relying too much on creating social pressures to get myself to do things, promising I'll do something then stressing to keep my word. Without any made up obligations, God it's been hard to get anything done

XIV : Hmm, getting so unlucky with drops on the first stage of the relic quest, very close to saying guess I won't be doing that content. This is a game not real life

Honestly, hard to think of something that strongly clashes. Maybe I'm less outgoing than the stereotype of a tiger furry? Which is funny cause actual tigers are reclusive Actual tigers would have violence as 1st or 2nd tool for any situation and that's not me~

Damn this guy is blunt as hell with our clients. I'd get smacked for talking like that (Signature says Montreal office) Ohhh ok, carry on

Gotta remember I can't talk about xiv in xiv groups the way I talked about wow in wow groups. Too much missing context and history, and no one's translating what I'm saying through those holes in my experience because no one can read minds. Instead I come across as a troll or something

When you buy a home it's legally required to get a cat. Because you can't spell homeowner without meow :3

Having a leisurely start to your morning is really nice on a day off, but I'm finding when you do it every day it makes it hard to get started. Rolling out of bed and starting something easy right away makes it easier to do everything else in the day. Momentum or something.

Since bluesky is open source, really wonder how hard it'd be to implement something like locked accounts on a self hosted instance. Even if just "if requester not a signed-in mutual, respond that there's no update/nothing there"

Huh, an ad on YouTube paid for by the provincial governing party about how bad the opposition is, and when you go to "see less" it says "see less from [opposing party]". What in the Dick Nixon is this

Dual citizenship sucks sometimes. Even though finances still aren't that great, they're OK enough now I gotta start doing the really complicated IRS dance with tons of extra reporting requirements. Gonna be all week after work 🪦

It always feels weird when two people i follow for different reasons reply to each other. Like a baby with no object permanence, can't believe people would have other ways of meeting each other besides the ways i interact with them XD

Thanks to a clip of a @thejinkx.bsky.social show coming up on YouTube, "Gaston foot pic" is now in my search history and that's something I have to live with

Eating carnivore meat is vegan because you're removing other meat eaters from the planet. It's like buying carbon offsets

Where tf did the share post button go? Gotta go into browser bsky, look up the account, find the post, then copy the url to share a post anymore

Actually Oops, won't have the vacation days for two of the four local events i usually do. Will be calfurry stuff only this year Vancouver will be end of July into August long weekend

I don't know if there's any real studies that have been done, or on the other side of things what astrology says Pisces are supposed to be like. But everyone i know with a birthday near mine has a similar quiet thoughtfulness punctuated by bursts of quirkiness or punchlines

Yesterday went to Banff with Tannyk to treat myself. Brunch at a Louisiana restaurant (Tooloulou's), up Tunnel mountain, and dinner at the fancy fondue place Grizzly House (not pictured)

It's the day of the year I get to pull out the Jimbo gif! This time both my age digits are the same, maybe that's lucky. Was it lucky any of the other times? Not really XD

Random job opportunities pop up and I do what I can, sacrificing healthy habits for more interview prep time. I never get the job and it takes forever to get the habits back No more of that. If I can't get a better job while maintaining health, it wasn't meant to be

Since sometime in the mid 2010s, I've had big anxiety issues around gaming with randos. Used to do it no problem before then. Feeling like it's time to work through it. It's making me very high maintenance in gaming groups

Anyone know an Astrologian (pref) or White Mage who would be up to savage raiding on FFXIV 2-4 hours a week? (Needs to be comfortable with coordinating with a primarily west coast US party) We're progging m10s now and are very comfortable with m9s.

Said to tannyk literally yesterday "I should finally watch all the Evangelion stuff they made after 2001. They're probably done making more at this point" You're welcome?

God damn turns out when I get really confused really unexpectedly, my whole perception of the world turns upside down for a little while then the fight response kicks in. That's one to put in the future therapy notes file

There are tropes about older people moving slower and couples having less time for friends, and though I don't feel any different I can tell by comparison that they've both been in effect a while now. Compare vs a young single person, especially before/between jobs, and goddamn (1/6)

Never played many fighting games and haven't played smash in maybe 10 years until yesterday. Is kirby known as an entry-friendly pick? Tried 5 different ones, all disasters. landed on Kirby and immediately started holding my own

MMO shit: The plan since starting this xiv nonsense was to bounce between it and wow now and then but I dunno about that anymore. More likely gonna pick up wow one more tier (13.0) to see how it feels then permanently pick a side. Wow's slightly disadvantaged in this contest rn

[To "When I'm 64"] Making a shitpost Or YTP It sounds like heaven Will you still fave me Will you still meme me When I'm 67

Spoiler: it was. It was CO2 lol. Something we did a few weeks ago to increase energy efficiency made the air stagnant in the bedroom when we're both there at night (gray area of the graph peaking high). Figured out a workaround though

Wish snow days were a thing for adults. I could use a day of absolutely nothing to balance out this weekend~

Taking adhd meds on weekends too now and this is feels better, but maybe too productive for a weekend XD nothing exciting, just backlog of maintenance stuff that didn't get done on withdrawal weekends

Being irresponsible and going to karaoke even though it's a work night :0 trying to think of something new to sing

Finally moved the Linux VM that handles Nextcloud to tannyk's proxmox server and goddamn it boots so much faster than in hyper-v, like why. Nextcloud seems to sync smoother too

Deleted the post about discord censoring since it turned out I'd been pranked but wasn't in a position to notice it was a prank at the time
