Protomen!!!

“it’s the same picture” Tasbot and the Tasbot plush at Magfest. Thanks for letting me take Tasbot’s photo, @dwangoac.tas.bot and mentioning the plushies would be at the Rock Island Cafe.

There was a hidden ‘nother step in the quest line. I can confirm the Magfest locker registration is outside Expo B! Next to the quantum board.

Made it! #magfest

I have gone on Magfest pop up locker side quest. If you want to skip it, in front of Expo A at 2 pm. If you want the step by step guide: * Go to the map location * Follow the sign to Expo E * Get sent to Info on Floor 3 * Get sent to Expo C * Get sent to Floor 1 security * Wait at Expo A til 2.

Had a stupid but silly dream. Some big food brand collabed with Twitch. Each sub gave the streamer a cookie that would be sent to their address on file. They did think to exclude subs while hype mode was active. The user base quickly learned then most efficient way to gift without triggering hype

Currently doing my best door stop cosplay. #magfest

Checked into our Magfest hotel room!

MTG deck idea based on capsaicin. Food token powered burn. Will need to remember to research.

Okay, nice, my vacuum sobered up and remembered the correct layout. Just to show how distorted the map became here are the two side by side.

My robo vac got confused because I left the bedroom door shut, deleted the saved map, and tried remapping everything. Can you drug test robo vacuums?

Yay! A series I like, Slime Saint, is now getting an official translation. Downside, the first book won't come out officially until Nov 2026. Then who knows how long before it catches up.

I think I could get used to and enjoy half hour commander games in Magic.

Finally giving "Gideon the Ninth" a try. Not far into it, but Harrowhark is giving me extreme tsundere vibes.

This is the funniest I'll be all year. Thanks for the Mariokart @joeyyylmao.bsky.social and making the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 just a little bit brighter. www.twitch.tv/joeyfatone/c...

Year in review for reading. One from Goodreads, one of Storygraph. Something got desynced between the two. May 2026 be closer.

I've waited 3 years to make this post

Between this and the infamous Altoona Pizza, I’m beginning to wonder where Pennsylvania ranks on the list of “total food crimes by state”. I say this as a Pennsylvanian native.

That was disorienting. Recovering from surgery in a dream then waking up.

It happened near the end of book 2. It just was quickly moved on from like no big deal.

Sometimes my weeb tendencies are a little obvious. #bocchi

Also I was part of a thing

Merry Christmas and/or holidays of choice

Piccolo’s father, Piccolo, and Kami setup.

Accomplished a goal I’ve been trying to do for several years. Managed to complete all of corporate’s 2026’s (Dec - Nov) fitness goals for the maximum HSA contribution 3 weeks. Still going to keep trying to be healthy, going to the gym, eat healthier, etc. Just wanted to see if it was possible.

Finished the prop cosplay Prinny (Disgaea) swords. Both turned out well enough for a second or third attempt at this sort of thing. If I need to justify them being shitty, netherworld budget cuts. It actually works in the lore.

Happy Monday everyone!

My mortgage company sent me a year in review snapshot. I think my inner hipster had reached the point of disliking snapshots out of principal.

Finally got around to putting up the missile toad. #pun

Wing night!

Lv 1 .

A “The Necessity of Mega Man X6” panel at Magfest. This has me interested.

Christmas jerky seems well received

#wtyp live show!

Went to an IATSE Christmas party. Last year they gave out boxes of food. By the end of the party, they still had too much, so they were giving people two boxes instead of one. This year I noticed they ran out before the end of the event. Could be nothing. Could be something. I noticed it though.

Finished the minimum viability of the Proto Gelgoog project. In Proto Man’s Break Man colors. Lots of touch ups will be needed, but it works for what I want it to work for. #megaman #modelkit #gunpla

Props to the Omori fandom. Other than knowing the ending can be dark, somehow I've never been spoiled about what goes on through passive pop culture osmosis. I don't know what happens, but it must be tough to keep a lid on whatever it is.

Insomnia shower thought: Do you think Seth Kaiba ever abused his influence over the game’s design just to mess with Joey’s favorite archetypes?

Cosplay prop set 1 primed. It didn’t cover up the flaws as much as I hoped on the more crudely printed one, but that was likely always a false hope. Lesson learned for future things. I planned to use eva foam on the handle to mimic leather, but maybe I should have used it to cover the blades?

Happy Friday ya’ll’ins

He's just like me.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Wait, doing Toggle headers is that easy *now*? How long was it that easy!? I mean, at least seven months according to when this guide was time stamped.

Adventure in Advert Algo Tea Leaves The algos are confused about me again. They keep flipping between assuming I’m on the verge of qualifying for social security or I’m an expecting mother.

FNAF2 movie was enjoyable. It's more of the same type as FNAF 1. A bit cliche at times. A bit "Five Nights at M3gan's" in places. Managed to setup three possible possible sequel movies.

Ugh, just had a nightmare that I lost my late grandma in Indiana. I get out of her car for a moment. I even had the keys. I come back out and it’s gone. Nobody knew she was there, the cops blew me off. Walked to my aunts and most of the household didn’t seem bothered.

After many failed attempts, “Web Toons” might have finally got its hooks into me. Brings back some Keenspace nostalgia. Also the dread of remembering my, several, old web comics from my high school days are out there somewhere. Hopefully long deleted due to inactivity and closing of free hosts.

Music recap for 2025 has dropped over at YouTube Music. Because I have a main YouTube "channel" and a "channel" I created to keep my music playlists separate, I get two recaps. It's always fun to see the differences and similarities.

Reset the counter on finding eggs. A family member just found another one of the plastic eggs I hid for Easter. Easter Hunts are so much fun when the hunts almost overlap.
