Something I was randomly thinking about today, The other day I went to the movie theatre in town. They no longer accept cash. That's gotta really contribute to the death of "Third spaces" for teenagers right? Lock out anyone who doesn't have a debit card.

Loving my friends is following games on Steam just so I can later gift them / play it with them.

Decided to give "All Her Fault" a watch and it was so good. Phenominal actors and phenominal acting. (Fuck that one character for being such a psychopath)

US is in such a sorry state that I didn't see a single mention of Mar10 (mario) day, and only saw one mention of 3.14 (pi) day. Who has the time to have fun.

Wonder Man was a solid Marvel show. Definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Todays jam youtu.be/zMCx9Pu3rKY Happy New Year, everyone.

When I thought "Hey I should upgrade and buy a taller bookcase with another shelf"- Terrible idea. Man books are heavy, switching one out for another sucks.

Jealous of the places that are apparently starting the new year expecting 3-4ft of snow. Another decently warm day today with a whole lot of zero snow all December.

I think the only thing I'm doing for 2026 that's "goal" related is more nature walks with friends. Looking back on 2025 I really enjoyed just walking through parks with good company and chatting about life.

There's a guy with a Harley that always passes by, and I swear he owes my dog money. He must live near by, on nice days the same looking one will pass by at least twice. Every time, she'll freak out and start barking up a storm. "WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF" means "Give me my money back", right?

Bought a christmas gift yesterday and returned it two hours later, because I got home and had a $70 coupon for the exact item in the mail- that becomes valid in December. Big stores are silly.

Tempted to hook my Steam Link back up to my TV and play through God of War.... hm....

Can't wait for the "Every company has an AI" bubble to pop. I hate that I own a $1300 phone with two useless physical buttons: Google Assistant that took over the power button Moto AI that has a dedicated "AI button" Disabled both AI and now two buttons just do absolutely nothing

My biggest UX pet peeve is the death of actual link elements. Stop making clickable div elements. I want to middle click or right click > open in new tab

One of the fun things about a folding phone is that it's smaller (and square) size makes taking it out feel like checking a pocket watch- despite the fact that I also wear a wrist watch.

Still really enjoying my ATH-e50s that I got back in March Maybe should've gotten the ATH-e70s... 🤔 🫣 The current jam youtu.be/23AqaRqOzdk

I miss 24 hour stores. Such a super US thing, but 3am grocery shopping was such a mood

I continue to question partial ISP outages. Can connect to half of the internet. DNS is fine, just can't load like 50% of sites. Connect to VPN: All issues resolved. I can connect to a VPN, but not Twitch, Google, DDG, or Youtube? Makes me scratch my head

Kinda funny after 10 years of doing Extra-life, exactly $999 raised. doitforthe.kids/greg

Only two weeks until the yearly Extra-life LAN. Definitely can't wait to see some long distance friends in person again.

Unlike a lot of people, I usually always close out my browsers tabs and always have my PC off at night. Start each day with a fresh session. My phone on the other hand... I've had the RFC 9309 spec open for close to a year.

Pretty good timing replacing my UPS's dead battery last week, since my power managed to blip twice last night

The jam of the day youtu.be/KaPAXPGqeSs

Really getting tired of forced AI and Assistants

This is my jam of the day youtu.be/qSzGxcT9yMM

The $250 hardcover Witcher box set is tempting.......

Spend the weekend playing games? ✋ Editing game wikis? 👈

Picked up a Topping E30 II and a Topping L30 II, and it provides some pretty good audio to my ATH-E50's, not gonna lie

V Rising continues to be such a laughable experience The lady who I, am vampire, am trying to steal an apple tree from (to decorate my castle with): "It's the end of daaaaaayyysssss!!!!!"

Randomly curious today on how much of internet traffic consists of 2xx status codes versus 4xx status codes... Crawlers that are unsuccessfully looking for insecure WP or PHP installs have to contribute to a lot of 404s; 'Hackers' hitting 401s and 403s ...but then regular user traffic. Who wins...

Strawberry-Pineapple Moscato is pretty good stuff

Got Chinese food for dinner yesterday Fortune cookie paper had a fortune on one side, and a $25 voucher for one of the major gambling sites on the back Capitalism at it's finest

Unplugged and turned off my UPS last month when I rebuilt my desktop with a piece of Butcher Block Today I learned that when I plugged everything back in that I never actually had turned it back on. UPS was being a fancy surge protector. How did I discover? Yeah, the power went out..

Bought some new headphones today, so sharing my bop of the day: youtu.be/ziIkK62b1G8

I've glad to see somebody with a .gov @governorwalz.mn.gov That's true best type of verification right there, it should be done more across the board.

Going through old tweets before jumping ship, this is a @qqts.live appreciation post.

Being able to work on a fun programming project like santatracker.google.com is probably really cool. People made that, it's so cheerful and cool.

All I know is that I'm beyond pumped for Witcher IV. So good. youtu.be/r6vgZpvlpl4

I'm a little curious how bsky handles invalidating custom domain names. What happens when a domain is sold? When it expires? If a subdomain is granted and then taken away?

And just like that, it's December

I like domains. I wonder what poor staffer has to be proded to give people in the political sphere on bsky .gov TLD usernames

Been a bit since I've done one of these. Also more posts for the bluesky space. The one mistake is because I apparently didn't hit space before starting the next word. #monkeytype

Coding continues to be fun, finally got past a bit of a snag ✨✨ Building of cool things continues onwards

Still one of my more wild recent discoveries that these two share a VA. Fable 1 and Witcher 3 are peak.

Posting into the bsky world the keyboard that I continue to appreciate and admire each day

There's no worse UX to me than sites that activate dropdowns on Hover. I've got multiple monitors, my mouse leaves the browser window. Please stop activating

I haven't played Skyrim since 2018, been kinda getting the itch to download some mods and play it again Mainly been playing Satisfactory (though I finished the story), and giving Throne and Liberty a try

Modding is fun and I'm happy when people enjoy my mods This one was for Stardew Valley

Factory Game is definitely a lot of fun

I'll be raising money for my local children's hospital this week through Extra-Life for 24 hours. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated 🙂 www.extra-life.org/participant/...
