Today I had some hot & sour soup. It went down okay but the texture seemed off. Still sick in any case. This leaves me in a state of perpetual exhaustion.

Spent a less-than-graceful 10 minutes in bed this morning just tactically outgassing so I'd uncramp enough to be able to actually get up and out of bed. Wasn't no pooty poot either. It was big, loud, long horrible farts that Spire should probably be paying me for. However, I think that's progress.

How I hang on to life in the face of this adversity I'm not quite sure but I'm here to tell you: rough living. If there's a GI thing going around: don't get it.

Against all odds the ghost plant is alive! I didn't expect that but I just noticed that it has these weird leaves on it now. They have a strange texture to them. Almost no wax to the leaves, deep but dark green coloration. Almost a seemingly velvety, pleathery-y texture of all things(?).

Yesterday I summoned the devil into my colon. Periodically I am besieged by demons.They tell me to burp out a boiling hot waft of heavy whipping cream every couple of hours. Naturally, I am told this as if I have a choice in the matter. It's a bad one. Yeurgh!

Had a magnificent idea for a wall of 4x4 large boxes in ABF. Turns out that the dang freakazoid birds hanging from the ceiling as apparently map brushes block one from achieving the desired height. The collision maps with the bird sculptures are precarious to say the least and you can't yank these.

This seems to be a first-person puzzle game about trying to avenge yourself upon someone who put all your clean laundry on the floor. The art style is largely clay-ish, but in a sort of a PBR kind of way, and it works(?).

For some reason I find myself rewatching No-Guns Life. This part in the first S01 ED song sounds like the lyrics, "lickable bible." What the Hell kinda concept does that convey?

The other night I became the locus for a confrontation. Orange dude came by wanting food but Max made a big impression of fending off this interloper by munching every food pile I made. He never made a noise but he kinda put himself straight between me and the orange guy at all moments.

Tonight I see if my N64 gift is a good one or a dud. I'm nervous! :X

Caught up a bit with ABF. I beat the game on a multi-person account but now I'm back grinding on my solo playthrough. Just gonna take it real slow and progress furtively.

My toilet seat? Repaired! Thank god. They used new nylon screws though so it'll break eventually. Oh well, maybe I won't live here by then.

I've popped into ABF because there is now a very small, snowy, Christmas-y-ish anteverse as of the last patch. Also seeing a bunch of other nice things that have been invented since I started playing the game. The ammo bench is a miracle! Or it would be. Having to spend carbon to make powder? Tough

Watching a playthrough of a very interesting game. The game is a certain Bustle involving Cookie the bear. Really something else to see it in motion. It's a swell and delightful little game, but with sinister undertones. It's really something else.

particle physics produces pretty images

I am face to face with the ginger guy who lives around here. First time seeing him up close.

Despite having lived in the bathroom for some time now the reaper has been peculiarly productive.

My latest aerial embroidery - thawing snow/ice over blue and teal waters 💙 it came out somewhat abstract I think? Or at least more so than my more usual aerials :) I'm hoping for some snow this winter!! This landscape will be available after the new years (to avoid the backlogged post) #art

missing the oystercatchers... #birds #birding

Okay, time to finish this N64 controller refurbishment toil. Here goes nothing.

This year I was playin' video games.

Got my Steam REplay 2025 but now Steam is having some sort of connection issue ?>;/

I need them to stop counting ‘sessions’ as ‘every time you launch a game’ because half of those are New Vegas or Helldivers crashing 😭

Nobody from maintenance has come by to fix my toilet seat so now I get the pleasure of nearly busting my ass every time I need to use the throne. No spicy peppers for me anytime soon :[

Oh hey. I can see my calendar and notifications on all three of my monitors on Windows 11 now. Glad Microsoft rectified that discrepancy. Correcting that regression has improved my life ever so slightly because now I can easily tell what day of the week it is.

Every time I hear about someone posting on Threads it sounds fake, like when there’s a parody social network in a GTA game.

Seems like yomyom (don't really know what they're called, truth be told), the creator of Ganbare Douki-chan! has been cranking through about 3 volumes of a new romance manga. Not sure it has quite the same appeal as the former but I love their art and I'm glad they're doin' more works!

What if you 🫵 wanted to stream? But GOD said ☝️?

I hope that when Sam Altmann announces that ChatGPT has become AGI it just tells him to shut the fuck up and wont stop spouting increasingly delusional Helluva Boss fan theories.

I think it is a deplorable shame that Mac Tonite is apparently some kind of 4chan racism thing(?) because the aesthetics and design of the character are superb and supremely My Kinda Shit.

In any amazing turn of events my toilet seat of all things broke. Thing was affixed with vinyl screws and the screws sealed with silicone so I'm not entirely surprised. Anyway, this sure sucks ass :3

OOo! Abiotic Factor update with a new anteverse that has actual story linkage. Hmmmm! Mighty tasty! Might have to pop into my solo file and have a gander.

Subject of drawing hands came out so I dug up an old sketch. Actually found a few sketchbooks earlier while looking for a piece of paper so I might have to take a few photos, see if I can rekindle some ember of passion for drawing within the otherwise cold, dead kiln of my soul.

If I can get a good photo of Mr. Spaghetti I'm gonna turn that dude into an emote for my dumbass Twitch channel. Just need to capture some sort of visible facial emotion with him. No mean feat though. Dude has a resolute poker face except under one circumstance: tummy rubs. Hard to take a photo tho.

Oh damn. No groceries today. Too damn cold outside :X

A true Hunter just sent me this and… wow. 🔺Steam version 🔻DMG (itch ROM) Both Glory Hunters, running at the same time on an AYN Thor. Interactive map on top, classic DMG vibes below. ✨Pure glory✨

Think I read that Steam will not host Brown Dust 2, and even if I have no particular desire to get sucked into that nexus I still condemn Steam's cowardice on this point. If they don't stand up to these goddamn payment processors then who will?!

"Don't make me write your first post! I'll do it too"!

Bluesky puts a “write a post” prompt on the “no posts yet” view for *someone else’s* profile? Huh?

The President weighing in on the death of Rob Reiner and his wife by making it about himself certainly begs a question that would otherwise never have occurred to me to ask.

With respects to the Mark Cuban thing going around: the man fails to appreciate that a good idea is a lot like a tasty Worcestershire sauce. The ingredients have to ferment in metaphorical barrels full of salt and acid for varying periods of time. Assuming the ingredients survive, it might be tasty.

Fieldfares, Linnets and others on a rare sunny morning on the Cleveland Way Path along the edge of the North York Moors in the northeast of England. Pen and watercolour drawings from my own reference photos. 🪶🐡 #artAdventCalendar

So this whole business of Samsung not updating their goddamn Hoogle OS software appears to be quite plausible true. I'm not enthused, but I'm also not sure the degree to which it matters as anything more that an ecosystem fragmentation.
