Times like this I'm so glad I got insulated garage doors. Those things are worth every penny.

Deluxe Prime Airacnid is hands down the worst official Transformer I've ever had. I felt insulted that they thought it was good enough to sell.

Well, didn't expect that. Hasbro is doing pretty bad, so maybe a shake up is what it needs.

Finally got around to getting art done of an adopt I got a ways back. Decided to name her Miranda. I was only vaguely sure of what I wanted, but @lizbie.bsky.social did a fantastic job. It's so adorable, and it captures exactly the personality I wanted. Character originally by @okaliz.bsky.social

I got a lot of graphics cards in the past year O_O Oddly enough, the Arc A380 is easily the most used out of them. Those things are amazing as a transcoding card in a Plex server.

If you see this, post a Transformer.

This line has lived in my head for decades now. youtu.be/iycfZzk6Mlo?...

It's not perfect, but I finally got something to make the Switch 2 useable for me in handheld mode. Hopefully Hori makes a Split Pad Pro for it, as I'd like that better, but this will do for now.

Managed to grab Big Convoy and Razorclaw in Target's 20% off sale. I'm digging Big Convoy a lot more than I thought I would. He's a legit good toy.

Few Transformers toys hit with this much wow.

Why is it so expensive to fly from KC to Ohio? Going anywhere else in the country from KC is cheaper. Flying from other cities to Ohio is cheaper too. This specific combination is oddly expensive for some reason.

These end of year things always make me feel like an idiot for buying consoles and games. I apparently don't play very much compared to other people, so why do I even bother?

I think I have a bit too much of a Lego backlog.

I can never post enough Selene pics.

I feel like I'm maybe a year away from just saying screw it, and shaving my hair off. I hate dealing with it. It's slowly thinning anyway. Why even bother? I worry I'd be cold though, and I hate wearing hats.

Decided this is going to be a year of focusing on games I already own. There's plenty that I've wanted to play for ages and never got around to playing. Right now I'm playing Jak and Daxter. I've had the PS3 collection for years now, so it's good to finally play it.

Some new art for my 2026 business card!

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

I hate my stupid digestive system. It sucks so much. Maybe my years of spicy food has finally caught up with me.

Insulated garage doors are probably the greatest upgrade I've made to my house. It's been a few years now and I still love them. Seriously, if you have a garage, treat yourself to some insulated doors. They make a huge difference. Makes the house so much more comfortable in both summer and winter.

I'm getting that urge to get a new art com. I have too many ideas though. I need to narrow it down.

The Playmates Megazord looks so much better with these new canon parts. They match perfectly, and one of the biggest issues with this figure. I really like that they still function as missiles too. Thanks @nonnef.com for another great set! #Toys #Megazord #PowerRangers

Why can't the AppleTV passthrough TrueHD and DTS-HD audio? It's near perfect if not for that. Not sure if I should stick with the Shield on my main TV or use the AppleTV.

4 games that defined my 2025

More experimenting with digitizing VHS tapes. Image 1 is my new method. 2 is with the Retrotink5X. 3 is a direct DVD rip. The deinterlacing in the new method really does look quite good. #VHS

I gots this year's #artvsartist2025! #artvsartist

I wish I had more Christmas Laserdiscs.

Metroid Prime 4 has issues, but I still really enjoy it. Not quite done yet, but I'm far enough in to experience what folks complain about. They're valid problems, but I still think it's on par with Prime 3 at worst. I do hope they patch out some of the green energy stuff though. That sucks.

Got a nice Bowsette pin from @lizbiecafe.com ! Pictures don't do it justice. The dress is so sparkly.

Playing around with VHS digitizing again. Left is my new transfer, right is the old. New retains more analog noise, but also keeps a lot more detail. The new also has much higher quality audio. The real test will be my Nickelodeon tapes, as I digitized them using my Retrotink 5X.

As far as I know, here is every physical console port of Doom that exists. These are all playable off their disc or cart without an internet connection. It's shockingly hard to find info on all of these, so I've tried to keep up the list myself. #Doom #RetroGaming

Apparently hard drives are now being sucked up by AI data centers. I thought they'd be safe due to the slower speed, but I guess not. Yet another way that AI has made life worse. Add it to the list.

My weird obsession with digitizing VHS tapes continues. Got a AV to DV converter, and dug up an old PC with a Firewire port. Should let me direct capture 480i video, and then I can use QTGMC deinterlacing. Why do I even do this? The Retrotink did a good job, and I don't even have that many tapes.

The main menu theme from Need for Speed 2 works shockingly well when slowed down. It's got a very ethereal vibe. youtu.be/LaNEm6pTybU?...

I hate to say it, but I just don't think Hazbin Hotel is for me. I adore Helluva Boss, so I really want to like Hazbin, but I can't force myself to like something that just doesn't click with me.

I hate when I'm just about to finish development on a project, like only a few days away from setting up user testing, and then they are like "Oh hey! We need all these changes too! Not a problem, right?"

More Black Zarak. G1 KO with the Gen Selects version from a few years back. #Transformers #ToyPics

It's beautiful! I never thought I'd own a G1 Black Zarak. Sure it's a KO, but I wouldn't touch the original with a 10 foot pole. This one is really high quality, and doesn't come with the risk of destroying itself if you look at it funny.

The Xbox One X and Series X seem to be really picky about disc condition. I've had more issues with those consoles and slightly dirty discs than any other consoles. I pretty much have to clean every used disc I get, or else they won't fully install.

I feel like more and more of a Luddite as I get older.

Frieren?

I have way too many AM4 CPUs sitting around. I think I've currently got six of them.
