After 2 weeks of stockpiling fucks, I finally collected enough to clean my apartment. It's nice.

raven is a low damage character*

LF sets to input into ReplayTheater, PST

Getting bits and pieces of things going on in the world always makes my burn out and dysfunction feel very pragmatic. Anyway, thinking about starting a reef tank. Thinking macroalgae and soft corals. Thoughts?

Fall leaves looking gorgeous

Yo wtf?

Nice and sunny

Interaction of the day (reposting cause compression was fuckt)

Finally hit this milestone

Discord keeps adding new features that make my neurosis go fucking haywire man. The little guild tag things, shiny animated portraits and profiles, and now custom fonts for names. I can't figure out how to remove them all with BetterDiscord's CSS either... gonna lose it, man

Eating before bed so I wake up bloated and get all the joys of weight loss in the morning except there's no hard work and it's a speedrun

The continued trend of RPG series releasing games that are not RPGs claims another (predictable) victim.

gains

New article on MMO paradigm shifts, especially in how developers and players intersect. OSRS good, imo

Folks who flag down a bus asking it to wait for them when they're late to the stop, and then don't thank the driver... How do you live like that

Installed Linux mint on my laptop after many trials and tribulations (fuck you windows, fuck you intel rapid storage technology). Going to give this a whirl for a few months to see how I dig it.

I fucking hate punchman

For the first time since I started playing seriously, I'm not watching a major Standard event this weekend at all, but I keep seeing snippets of horror like "played 8 vivi mirrors" or "60% winrate vs the field" and I've never been happier to not give a shit about Standard

Many frog

Ball x Pit is so damn good

mfw I work up the willpower to cook for one

Halo CE again: again: now on PS5 is just not an interesting prospect for anyone who's played Halo before. Infinite played phenomenally well, can I just get more of that but in a finished game

Holy fuck November 19th I'm so fucking ready inject it directly in to my body in large doses

Finally finished my nextfest demo reviews. Much higher average quality of demos this go around. Tears of Metal, Birdcage, Seance of Blake Manor, and Ricochet Abyss were my standouts.

Whoever in the WoW team designed Precog is a genius. The fact I get a buff for the idiot mages on the other team mashing counterspell off CD is actually so sick

Two meetings today the itinerary for which is essentially "complain about people doing work no one else is willing to do" and I really wish everyone involved a fuck you

Ball x Pit is better than your favourite game

Surprisingly high quality batch of nextfest demos this go around. We'll see how many I get to before the window closes, but its always nice to be reminded there are tons of people making cool as shit games. Now for the roguelike genre to die so the good games are great games...

I really thought after Medley fell in the bath a while ago his curiosity about water would be diminished, but bro just hopped INTO the bath with me tonight and played with bubbles while sitting submerged on my legs. What the fuck is this cat

I would like to start losing to something new, but I do not currently have the brain power to invest into not losing to the same things I've been losing to for the last 5 months.

NextFest demos to play... We'll see how much time and energy I have to put into playing these. I've been getting my ass beat at work.

Wouldn't know I was in the city with this commute

Some short Thursday thoughts on my beloved DanDan. www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2025/10/dand...

Experimental version of Xrd Replay Takeover for any who'd like to try it out while it's still a bit unstable. There's a couple visual issues and crashes I'm working on but it's hopefully functional enough to start being useful. github.com/ibrow19/GGXr...

Wrote a quick little review of Legends & Lattes, after spending the whole day devouring it on Prof's recommend. I really enjoyed it, and it's the first for-fun novel I've read in a day for about a decade. Thanks for the rec, Prof.

Look who's up

WotC making a shit set with a shit choice of IP, which solicited a shit response from everyone and their aunts, and then asking a shit survey question about which shitheads made people hate their shit set is so fucking corporate I could explode

Gosh darn it! My youtubers fed me lead again!

been searching for this old Nage post since the cohost days.... I finally found a route that led me to the Internet archive where it is saved forever. phew. yay "When @nage_pink's spirit broke and how he bounced back (translated blog post)" web.archive.org/web/20221104...

Getting back to the Pathfinder Kingmaker CRPG after a while and man this game is so fucking sick. Buggy, made on the cheap, but so wonderful and so easy to get sucked in to. I might have forgotten that druids were prepared casters in this system, though, and failed to update my spells for 3 levels.

Started painting my bathroom at 10AM today. 3rd coat of paint just went on. Going to have to do a bit of touch up tomorrow. That said, it looks better than it did when I moved in so I'm taking the W.

My regular pizza place has a delivery guy who's just my favourite. Our interactions last all of 3 seconds but he's so nice and he always recognizes me and wishes me well. I love a little passing joy

I think yesterday was the 13th anniversary of #Dishonored being launched. It snuck up on me. This is from Dishonored 2, but I am forever thankful for getting to visit 3 cities in the Czech Republic as we shot this live action commercial. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mi7n...

Extremely bad work news after a whole year of work being a complete drag. Might need to start job hunting again and that is terrifying. Send me your good vibes I'm in the fucking trenches

Went 5-1 in my last solo shuffle of the evening 🫢

Slamming Thoracle down after a 20 turn grind game against no wincon control is still a high that only Magic can provide. My Queen 🧜‍♀️🧎

Just witnessed a new coworker take an entire meeting about PII, driving, with other people in the car without telling anyone. I know we need empathy more than ever but also holy fuck some motherfuckers need to fire up the ol' cranium
