Yacht Club Games are good folks, and deserve support, even if Shovel Knight DX and Mina the Hollower are delayed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxX2...

Ceiling light has been flickering all evening, and then modem (which is on surge protector) crashed and needed a reset. I would expect that sort of thing during a heavy snow storm, but things are clear. I wonder if the neighbor's floodlights over their backyard hockey rink are stressing the pylon.

I ship Lucas and Kumatora, and love The Maid I Hired Recently is Mysterious. I hope that doesn't mean I'm into shotacon.

I treat Star Wars like a dead franchise. I enjoy everything made before the Disney take over and everything else is 'Star Wars Disney'. Easier to ignore & enjoy what I like. Try it.

Fuck Disneywars. Everything the demon mouse company has a hand in is bad fanfiction.

I wonder if Samus Aran would be triggered if a secret admirer left a heart balloon at her locker.

youtu.be/Wu4nxYg2Qpo I wish motion tracking on a balloon was good enough when Kazami Ten was around. I wonder if a (SFW) Sally Rand dance would be possible. #looners #vtuber

Have the "Black Tears of the Arizona" ceased, since the last survivor passed away last year? Reminder that Michael Bay is a hack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0n4...

Regarding Christmas movies. Could 'Babes in Toyland' sound any more like a smutty VHS that was hidden behind the counter? At any rate, it's sad that it doesn't get a lot of recognition beyond marching band geeks, and people who see the toy soldier Disneyland parade. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnzK...

AI sucks (except Nicole Lynx, Johnny 5 and the Tachikomas). Nvidia sucks. Microsoft assistants suck. Tim Sweeney sucks. Call of Duty sucks. Micron sucks. Every State and Federal politician who is throwing money away with data centers is a crook who sucks.

Samsung Magician added ugly dark mode that's impossible to read on this display, and shoehorned in a chatbot for no reason. Samdung products and services have been crap for years, but this is a new low. Rolled back to v8.3 and set firewall to refuse any network activity.

Time to rebuild living room PC. I wasn't planning on it until next summer or so, but the crisis with RAM prices is only going to get worse.

Stirfried some shrimp, crab meat and spam with rice noodles, veggies and green curry paste. Nice late evening snack.

I can see why Asahi SUPER "DRY" is so popular. Hope the company recovers from their recent woes. Quite tasty. Though Total Wine was a madhouse today, same as most other retail spaces on Black Friday.

My favorite part of the (real) Star Wars saga was when Jacen Solo was sitting with Tenel Ka and comforting her after her accident. It's heartbreaking how things later went with him, never mind Anakin and Tahiri. As always, fuck disneywars.

Reminder that there are only 6 Star Wars movies and the Expanded Universe (NOT "Legends") Though even before Lucas sold out, the Clone Wars show was pulling ridiculous retcons and character assassinations. No way scrappy brat Ashoka could survive Aurra Sing and Qymaen jai Sheelal.

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

Cloudflare sure picked a lousy time to go haywire. Nothing is open this time of morning, and going back to bed would be pointless.

www.lowyat.net/2025/372693/... People have been drawing cute anime fox girl mascots for Firefox for decades, and when Mozilla finally does an official one, it's so... minimalist.

New Valve hardware looks cool. I don't really need another controller, but companies that make sensibly-designed ones, with the analog sticks parallel and below the d-pad, should be supported. F*** the xbox layout.

50 years...

Is the Japanese government still banning the Yamaguchi-gumi from giving candy to trick or treaters? Because that was a dick move.

Since Roman concrete has been rediscovered, I wonder if Brutalism will make a comeback. Any entrepreneurs thinking of starting a house building business that specializes in it? Or maybe not. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Why is season 2 Ada Twist Bri'ish?

AI is a bubble that's going to cause disaster as more and more industries and nationstates are relying on it as a lazy crutch or shortcut for crucial tasks with low error tolerance. Still, it's useful for advanced websearching, like remembering the name of an obscure CDROM game I played as a tot.

Almost time to decide whether to use AtlasOS, Tiny11 or GhostSpectre. As worthless and unacceptable as Windows is, I need to keep one machine running it around, since companies like SCUF are douchebags and don't have a linux alternative to icue.

Late night snack. The toncio Spam is a little too sweet. I prefer the gochujang Spam. But still good. Reminder that Spam is Minnesota's thing. Not Hawaii's.

Some people get buckets of booya at the fire station or VFW or church fundraiser. Some get gallons of raw cider to ferment. My autumn ritual is to smoke cheese to last through the winter.

I've been more actively engaging with autism related topics online since about 2010 when Frontline did The Vaccine War. Funny how I never heard the term "Refrigerator Mother" until just now. I always thought of myself pretty knowledgeable, but apparently I missed an important chuck of history.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... "In 1980, Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, an unrepentant former leader of the Nazi women’s bureau in Berlin from 1934 to 1945, described her former job" That can't be a real name, right?

www.reddit.com/r/insanepeop... Arguably the first girl gamer was Ada Lovelace, since she was a notorious gambler and proposed methods of using the Babbage Engines for handicapping race horses. A plot borrowed for the novel The Difference Engine by Sterling and Gibson.

Trump explains away not ordering half-mast flag honors for Melissa Hortman www.twincities.com/2025/09/15/t... As the New Yorker comic strips say: "Christ, what an asshole."

😕 (Reminder: he declined to call the governor)

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

If Geishas are trained in traditional Japanese entertainment, why do none of them want to play Street Fighter 2 with me? apnews.com/article/japa...

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

I don't miss school, but back to school sales are nice. And it won't be long before my niece starts driver's ed, and I'll probably be recruited, since I still drive manual like a real Northerner.

Kernel update server has been having a stroke. Trying to do a system upgrade on coffee shop network, but it's crawling along at single-digit KBps, and closing time in an hour.

It's a good time to revisit the Casual Criminalist episode and get a refresh on how insanely corrupt and incompetent officials were regarding Epstein, even before the current trainwreck of an administration. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwnS...

Sabrina Conrad is my biggest influence. I never used Amiga, though. I've kept one Windows 10 machine around, but soon, I'll have to decide whether to continue using it unsupported, give GhostSpectre Windows a try, or finally dump Microsoft crap entirely. But first, I might see how AROS works.

I'm only here to spite those POSs, Musk and Zuck, and to defy the various fascist pushes for age verification. I am an adult, and I will not prove it, or allow ads or suggestions. Also, I'm here to follow artists who got dissatisfied with DA and FA, or those whom xcancel is too cumbersome to follow

I've been kicking around the Internet since before MySpace was a thing. Didn't see much point in myspace, and even less point in all the "web2" crap that came after. It's a darn shame the Internet has been reduced to a few consolidated, tightly controlled and monitored platforms.
