I spent a long time making a this gif and if it doesn’t load properly I’m gonna

Closet door screws gave up on holding the thing in place Now to do a janky fix with some wooden dowel and gorilla glue while I cast about for better options

Trying to figure out how I previously set up a synth in Logic Before a bunch of stuff changed at the system level Can control it via USB MIDI Just, can’t get it to send audio over USB 🫠 (Can just plug my headphones into it and hear that though, so, we’re halfway there)

Finished our latest DnD campaign, 2 years and 74 sessions later, kinda crazy how much happened during all of that Looking forward to what comes next

Got asked if I was a sound engineer at the bar Naw man, I just look like this and had aspirations to be a sound designer

I just saw this episode of Voyager and I can’t unsee it

My cat has fallen asleep on my lap This is a very good development

I had an idea a few years ago, that would put data storage in folks’ homes They could use a portion of said storage for themselves It would also cache frequently visited sites in the area to better distribute network load, speed things up, maybe make the internet more resilient

They put French doors on an Italian car

I appreciate the Gamers Nexus coverage of the computer industry I just wish said industry didn’t suck so much right now

The thing I hate most are the turn signals on the steering wheel What happens when you turn the steering wheel all the way around? I doubt the signal direction changes Better off writing an L and R under each of them with a sharpie

My partner: “imagine Stellan Skarsgård as Neelix”

Marathon resetting everything means I’m gonna just absolutely decimate my vault Finally free of all attachment to the stuff I’ve been hoarding Kinda crazy how that works

Captchas are getting worse Ran into one that was basically a memory game Then another that was entirely AI generated images This was in addition to forcing an email verification Like, what are we doing at this point?

I don’t think we’re using our system correctly As evidenced by it breaking after every major update

I finished the new MurderBot and now want more MurderBot 😔

My new screen protector lasted a month What did I do? I didn’t used to be like this! I went years without damaging it! Am I becoming a phone shatterer???

I’ve also made a grave error starting another book when the next MurderBot novel comes out in under 2 weeks Currently estimating 9hrs until I’m finished with it Which could be doable But I’m not sure I’m able to scrounge that much time out of my sofa cushions by the 5th

Very funny putting the robot on the anti-anti-ai block list

Finished another book Onto the next! Or maybe I should finish the ones I’ve started

This post was brought to you to you by spreadsheets and overwork

Swear there is some combo of data misalignment that is slightly radioactive when perceived and causes headaches

I’ve been staring at the same spreadsheet for going on 2 weeks It’s not even a fun spreadsheet I hate data clean up

Had the complete Marathon experience on the final run last night - talked a team out of a fight (while my partner shot at them and they called us liars and I was very confused) - Dropped another team - Downed a Rook that picked on us - Completed all of our objectives - extracted successfully

Oh heck yeah @goblinmall.bsky.social Very well done! Do I know what I’ll put them on? Not at all

Ah shit Was Semiosis just a Redwall book?

So what if I totally redo my desk’s cable management again? Surely it’ll be perfect this time around And I won’t need to do it all over again when I swap or add something to it

I’m 2 for 2 with friendly solo runs in Marathon And 2 Traxus contracts complete This can’t possibly change on the next run

Got the printer up and running Also learned how to build a docker image and use GitHub’s forks/pull request nonsense I don’t know why I do these things

What if I got another self emptying docking station for the vacuum for the upstairs? Would that fix my ills?

I am very much looking forward to the weekend

I do not like knowing what I do about supply chains Just one massive tangle of slow motion train wrecks While knowing that it doesn’t have to be like this

Made me remember how protestors of Minamata bought shares of the company to protest at the shareholder meeting An effective means of using a system to gain visibility and public support They also marched through the factory and smashed things if memory serves

@blujayfay.bsky.social: Who needs a gf when you have chat gpt and a fondling case

Marathon truly is a product of our time

Bungie single handedly sabotaging my plans to migrate to Linux 😔 I just don’t have the nvme slots for a dual boot AND a cache drive

Yeah ok why not

I’m very sorry to the Assassin shell I chased through a building while on a solo run. I found you cowering in the vent after you thought you escaped me. You were the first finisher I got for the Arachne contract. I don’t remember your name, but I won’t forget you

Forced to work When I just want to loot and run

I think I had a dream about Marathon last night The game’s just too good

MARATHON #marathon

I’m sorry for third partying the remainder of two teams on Marathon last night Your loot was safely extracted

I think I could improve tech by sending them boxes of bees every time a company does something I find profoundly stupid

We’ve earned a cozy night sitting on the sofa listening to the latest @trangirlismo.bsky.social

Thinking about spending money on things and actually spending money on things are very different things

I keep finding incandescent bulbs around the house Have just enough smart and dumb LEDs to make swaps Last one is an e11 so that’ll be a trip to the store sooner rather than later 😔

I just want to read my book and nap in peace

Next campaign is looking to be sci-fi Very excited to see what our GM puts together

I would like to stop looking like a chipmunk

I think I was just missing spice? I enjoy chicken noodle soup, but black bean chili is a welcome change
