My reading progress is slow because my 4 yo loves to pull my bookmarks out and lose my place 😞

Erika has started saying "listen" when responding to certain things. She doesn't understand, as a Zelda fan, how triggering that is. 🧚

whenever I setup a new linux machine, one of the first things I install is schismtracker.

today is a 3 coffees, no lunch kinda day

Cake pop demon hunter

Watched the Xbox dev direct and I'm so hyped about Beast of Reincarnation and Fable. Both look really good and it looks like they'll be released this year!

Just picked up a copy of The Shadow of What Was Lost by James Islington. Folks compare it to the Wheel of Time series. We shall see!

Got this sweet Castle Rat shirt and cassette today ❤️⚔️🏰🐀

I was just thinking about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and I remember loving that game... But when started watching videos of the game play, I have no memory of it at all other than Midna and turning into a wolf.

Being in my 40s, I find myself relating to Gandalf more and more with

Feels like a good night to play Skyrim

I think I just ate my weight in mango sticky rice 🌝

Finally got AOE2 installed with the help of Crossover. The easiest route is just to install Steam first, and then install it through Steam directly. Don't use the bottle in Crossover.

Looks like my work music has skewed my end of the year scrobbles, but I'm not mad. Data Rebel, Miami Nights 1984, Mitch Murder, and Mega Drive are definitely some of my top artists on the electronic side of things.

Getting into some Elden Ring Nightreign today

My little coffee frog, chilling on its perch 🐸

Pretty excited about Steve Jackson games re-releasing this old solo RPG series!

Skyrim is my favorite cozy game of choice

..something something download and play Skyrim before the time it takes Max and Holly to go through their gates...😩

Feeling the urge to fire up a new run of Skyrim ⚔️

what is it about being on vacation where my brain is like, "fu sleep" and then I wake up at 4:30am 😩

This cassette player I got is pretty cool. It also plays mp3s from an sd card. So naturally, I wanted to copy albums from my plex server to the sd card and it lead me down a rabbit hole of: - creating scripts to export playlists/albums - cleaning and renaming the artists and albums

Erika also got me a Stranger Things shirt, but it's a picture of Starcourt Mall. Which, I think I love more because Starcourt Mall is Gwinnett Place Mall in real life, which is where I spent a lot of my youth. 🤓

Talk about a retro Christmas. I got a portable cassette player, camp snap camera, and some He-man figures. Erika got a C64 and an Atari. First tape in the cassette player: Labyrinthe by Faetooth.

Wrapping gifts for the kids and found this video of some old 80s cartoons from DIC, complete with commercials. Inspector Gadget was the jam. youtu.be/ZYWeGd4zKZc?...

castle awhile to warm up to Castle Rat, but I get it now. Just picked up The Bestiary cassette and shirt. 🏰🐀

Out of Season merch is always _in_ season, amirite? Just scooped up a Questmaster tape and shirt :)

Look at this lil guy

Well, if you're jumping ship from Firefox, might I suggest Vivaldi? A privacy focused, independent browser vivaldi.com

Stumbled upon an MCP that can parse through Reaper projects and I'm seriously intrigued. github.com/dschuler36/r...

whoa. a tracker with all the chips already? yes, please!

I'm still amazed that I made Erika watch the movie Freaked on our first date, and even though she hated every minute of it, she still ended up marrying me :)

say what you will about using llms for coding tasks, but creating a bash script on the fly to help organize all the bandcamp albums I just bought and get them ready for my plex server has been a breeze

Feels like a supermarket sweep run to find all the artists I forgot to wishlist on bandcamp and support them today

Aura Merlin's latest album "Moon Gates" is an exquisite piece of fantasy synth. Just scooped up the vinyl owl🦉🏰 fiadh.bandcamp.com/album/moon-g...

Heck yeah! Nice to see it out :)

Forget that other place. Just waiting on my last.fm yearly report like a sane, rational, human being 🤓

This demogorgan crunch is pretty pretty good I must say. The lil crunchy bits are waffle flavored of course

My wife has the makings of King Buzzo hair

My kids are 3 and 11 y/o. I've been like, "when are they going to play together?" And now they finally play together, and now I wish they'd stop! 😩 They're so loud.

oh-my-zsh is cool and all, but starship.rs is a lot faster. I like the catpuccin preset 🤓

Just heard this barred owl outside my house as i was about to to look at the Moon Gates album by Aura Merlin. It's kismet merlinbirds.org/species/brdowl

You can watch the documentary about Echosynthetic Fest, Atlanta's first(and only) synthwave and retro electro music festival, for free on Tubi. Lots of great folks and great music here. A real snapshot of the state of the Atlanta synth scene and synthwave in general!

A little Elder Scrolls Online to round out the night

Feels like it's going to take forever to get caught up on One Piece. I'm only about 270 episodes deep! 😅

Finally getting some time to play through Wizordum and having a blast. Definitely reminiscent of those good old first person games from the 90s. Tons of fun!

I loved Head Lopper, and that Double Dragon 2 inspired cover has been hooked. This is going to be great!

Newest Town Portal is good. Feels a little subdued compared to their previous stuff but still brings that sweet mathy post-metal sound townportal.bandcamp.com/album/grindw...

Spent the last day getting my desktop setup with a new layout. Installed Borders and Yabai to tile/style my windows. Hid the dock (I always use spotlight anyways). Switched to Alacritty for my terminal, and then used tokyo neon theme for just about everything. Feeling productive with this setup!

Glad to see that schismtracker works well in Omarchy. And still amazed that I remember all the commands from using screamtracker 30 years ago 😅
