As some of you may know, I had a weird midlife crisis a few years back after my Mom died. I dealt with my grief by backing a LOT of Kickstarter campaigns (for some reason). Good news is a bunch of them are finally arriving. One Last Fight from Hit Point Press just got here. Looks epic. 💪🏻 #rpg

Hey, in case you need to hear it today… Just because something is easy for someone else doesn’t mean you need to feel bad if it’s not easy for you.

I finally decided to move away from a stock cooler on my PC. I grabbed a Phantom Spirit 120. The installation was terrifying (the thing is MASSIVE), but so worth it. I’m able to keep temps under 60°C during heavy, multi-core loads. INSANE

Officially running 12 cores. 💪

I got tagged in a thing! 5 things I like and 5 oomfs to do the same! Bubly water Taking pictures Tinkering with electronics Making weird ass YouTube videos Cheese @radiooptimism.tv @astrokittycat.bsky.social @jordthegourd.bsky.social @feraldactal.bsky.social @vertighost.posts.cat

Not sure if this is a hot take, but I think I might like Digimon more than Pokemon. 🤷‍♂️

DEMO! 😍

What is CODEX? #wipsnips #writingcommunity #booksky 📚💙 #whatiscodex

My copy of Down Among the Dead just got here today, and it’s GORGEOUS! 😍😍 #downamongthedead #ttrpg #pirateborg

I just really want the new Fable game, please.

Okay, I don’t know how I didn’t find about this band sooner. They feel like a hardcore spiritual successor to The Blood Brothers. And I’m HERE FOR IT. 🤙🏻🤙🏻 tidal.com/track/345706...

I finished Ronin of Okane Vol 5 today, and I’m pretty bummed. There’s no release date for Volume 6 yet. It’s a damn cool series. Highly recommend to anyone into R-rated comics with heavy cyberpunk / Japanese culture themes. Brilliant artwork. 💪🏻 #roninofokane #comics

By the way… if you were ever on the fence about buying a Steam Deck, now is NOT the time. If you need a good laugh, check out the eBay listings. Sheesh. #steamdeck #gaming

This BNC crimper reminds me of the Alien movies.

Holy fuck… All 39 Discworld books for $16???? 😳😳😳 #booksky 📚💙 www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

I let one of our cats (Jake) know that I was legally changing his name to Stock Market Henderson. He meowed after I told him, so I’m assuming he’s fine with it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Okay, but these things fuck.

Actually really hilarious when you make a post about feeling invisible and how algorithms suck, and it gets pushed to no one. 😂😂

🧵

Things are happening. 👀 #whatiscodex

Ronin of Okane is pretty damn cool! I’m on Volume 5 already. The next one isn’t even out yet. 😭 #roninofokane

What changed?

First time installing an M.2 drive. Holy cow, that was a HASSLE. I also had no idea they were so tiny. Crazy. Just glad that’s over with. Windows now boots in like 12 seconds. Game-changer. 💪🏻

I’ve been staying up too late for a few weeks. Trying to get shit taken care of for the book release. There aren’t enough hours in the day. 🫩

Just found out something really cool. My company has over 400 employees. Everyone in the company is getting a $1000 bonus tomorrow. Except for me. I’m the only one here employed through a staffing agency, so I don’t qualify. I love that for me.

Tell me about your week so far.

I STILL haven't received my proof copy of CODEX. I even paid for expedited processing and shipping. Ugh. I just want to review my copy so I know if it's in good enough shape to put out into the world. I'm just gonna be impatient and grumpy about it. 😠

This doesn’t apply to me because I haven’t taken any trees. :/

I’ve been doing all sorts of nerdy computer shit lately, but I have no one to talk to about it. I upgraded my BIOS last night for the first time in my life. I’ve always been afraid to do it because I’ve heard it can brick your system if you do it wrong. It was embarrassingly easy and quick. 1/2

I love how every box of Q-Tips specifically says to not use them to clear your ears, but we all just collectively said FUCK THAT and we do it anyway. 😅

Myths never start loud.

🤔

Update: It’s awesome. 🫡

I’ll take it. 💪🏻

Also, it’s annoying how good Joe Abercrombie’s writing is. It’s not fair.

A NEW CARMAGEDDON GAME JUST DROPPED. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I feel like I’ve been in a constant state of ‘waiting for something’ for the past 10 years. Whatever it is hasn’t happened yet, and I’m not even sure I’d know if it did.

Wife and I just watched the new Dracula movie. It was PHENOMENAL. Seriously. It was our first time going to an actual theater in ages. Very worth it. 10/10

Without naming your job, tell us something you say over and over again at work. “Fuck this place.”

Finally starting The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. Been looking forward to this one for a while. #booksky 📚💙

I don’t think we give enough credit to the little Casio keyboard solo in Girls Just Want To Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper.

The clouds tonight were whacko #skyporn

The Universe is really, really testing me right now. 😑

So bad news. The incel that got fired is apparently back somehow? As with most shit human beings, he found an HR loophole, and is now back working like nothing happened. Very seriously considering leaving this job, which sucks because I actually like it here. But I also have morals. I hate people.

Here’s a MilkPork lore drop. 5 years ago, I did the whole midlife crisis thing and bought my dream car. And though it has been very fun and the driving experience has been a blast, I would never do it again. Between the car payment, the insurance, and being forced into premium gasoline, I pay 1/2
