it's a horror game about a bird trying to write a screenplay.

ICE shot and killed a man in Houston with no criminal record who was not even their target. They pushed him off the road. And now he is gone forever. ICE is a domestic terrorist organization. We need to abolish ICE now and stop Trump’s murderous thugs.

bro they laid off the Doom 2016 developers. that's like if you laid off the studio that made arguably one of the best first-person shooters of all time, like Doom 2016

Nothing new to the Critter Stack itself, but it may be new to you! AOT support + compliance. 😎

Looking for that ideal candidate...

GIVE THIS MAN WARCRAFT 2

Hello 10th anniversary limited edition steelbox @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com movie.

When I can find some time, I need to dive back into Guild Wars 2. It's been years. The GW3 hype is real.

I'm eager to close this "chapter" with tomorrow's memorial service for my father. In brighter news, this "pick-me-up" arrived today.

Love is real and it's two strangers in an MMO jumping up and down.

Pulled the trigger on a Radeon AI PRO R9700 32GB for local LLM usage. Will be using it alongside my existing Radeon 7900 XTX 24GB and Radeon 6800 XT 16GB. I already have two machines set up, so this (single discrete GPU) was the practical pick for my wallet.

My father passed this weekend. Dying really is a messy affair, even when there's notice. There's just a lot to take care of.

Cancer is a thief. My father has been in hospice for 6 days now. It has felt like an eternity and a glimmer all at the same time.

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

A wild week of development for the Critter Stack. Incredible, even. Love our open-source community and contributors!

I don't get high, I don't smoke, I barely even drink anymore unless there's some celebration being held. That said, no one should be in prison for weed.

I made it my life mission to reference this as many times as I can

World of Warcraft is a neat game. (Tagnikzur the blood death knight isn't even my main this season. 💀)

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Tomorrow night! 🎉 Hope to see you there! 🤓

Got in a car accident today. Everyone's fine. Physically okay. Mentally, I'm beating myself up even though I wasn't at fault. I just wish I didn't get in my car, you know? Ugh. 😩

Jetbrains Rider is now crashing on me multiple times a day on my Mac. Despite my Windows machine having issues with gaming performance, it (Rider) is reliable on there. I'm now primarily using VS Code forks for my .NET work on the Mac. It's a real bummer.

Guess who got the flu? Hint: It's someone who slacked on getting the flu shot. D'oh.
