Saw @foilarmsandhog.bsky.social at The Vic in Chicago tonight. Great show! Maximum respect to Colby, the lawyer they plucked out of the crowd to participate in a sketch; he absolutely killed it. Wtf at those shitty folding chairs, though?!

Rolled credits on Mafia: The Old Country this morning. That was a good-ass game. #gaming #mafia

Made my first purchase of the Steam autumn sale today: Tomb Raider Definitive Survior Trilogy with a bunch of DLC for $11.91. These games are a few years old so they run pretty much locked at 60 on the Steam Deck. #gaming #steam

Peace out, #gamepass.

RIP #gamepass, you used to be cool. You can take your $30 subscription and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Some scenes from my past few days in Boston #photography #boston

Just got home after three days in #Boston. My fist time there. I really enjoyed it. Cool city! #travel

What’s a video game that was released the year you were born?

#Boston. I am in you.

“Kung Fu”, by Ash. An absolute banger from 1995. #music

Mafia: The Old Country update. I’m on to chapter 8 now and still enjoying it very much. I don’t know how many chapters there are in total but I feel like I’m quite deep into it now. I like this game, and would recommend it to others. #gaming #mafia

I like neon. Shot on my recently-acquired Sony a6600 this evening. #photography #neon #night

A new APS-C horse joins the stable. I picked up this Sony a6600 from eBay a week ago and it arrived today. Shutter count of 950. Missing the viewfinder eyecup. Came with the Sony 35mm f/1.8 lens and 16-50 PZ lens, along with 3 aftermarket batteries, extension tubes, and some filters and a 32GB SD

Just canceled my 8-or-so years old Hulu subscription because fuck you, Disney. #kimmel

I’m enjoying the shit out of Mafia: The Old Country. That is all. #gaming

Fresh COVID-19 shot acquired… despite the government. It hasn’t gone away.

Started playing Mafia: The Old Country today. Beautiful looking game. The first hour or so reminds me very much of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which is a good thing. I think this is a nice palate cleanser after 70 hours of Metaphor Refantazio. #gaming #mafia

‘Sup #motosky. I got one of these knock-off $25-ish shields for my Shoei Neotec II this week. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality level compared to the $130+ OEM part. It is optically very clear and fits my 2XL shell perfectly. Installation was a fiddly pain in the ass, but so is the OEM one.

I finally made it to the final boss fight of Metaphor Refantazio after like 70 hours of play time, and I’ve gotta say: fuck this noise. This is the most frustrating shit and it makes me want to rage quit the game. #gaming

Pulled the trigger on another camera that I probably don’t really need on eBay. A Sony A6600 with a 35mm f/1.8 lens and the kit 16-50 PZ lens. Comes with a few batteries, SD card, charger, macro tubes. #photography

One of these is not like the others... #photography #motosky #bicycle #blackandwhite #52frames_outofplace

The view from the same spot as my last photo without the benefit of 850mm of focal length. You can barely see the moon behind the clouds to the left of the power plant. #photography

Tonight's moon, Aurora, IL. It was escaping behind the clouds by the time I got my gear to somewhere with a clear view 850mm focal length plus crop! #photography #moon #nikonz6

Today at work was stressful as fuck. Fortunately I had access to the greatest stress reliever known to man once the workday was over. #motosky

I’ve been so freaking busy all weekend I haven’t been able to get out and ride. This is bad considering that the usual Midwest winter misery is on the way and the bikes will soon have to hibernate 😭 #motosky

The nostalgia is hitting hard Real, working Amigas have become expensive unobtainium, so this is as close as I’m gonna get. #amiga #mister #fpga #retrocomputing

So this arrived a few days ago. A MisterPi. My first foray into FPGA gaming. I’ve used it to do Amiga stuff so far. #mister #retrogaming #fpga

Drone shot of the Metra platforms at the Aurora Transportation Center, Aurora, IL. Clouds made the lighting fast-changing and uneven. #52frames_shootfromabove #photography #drone

The Fox River in North Aurora, Illinois. Shot from the Fox River Trail on the eastern bank of the river at around 9AM today. #photography #landscape #sonyrx100v #52frames_reflections

I did my first oil change on my 1975 CB750F today. It was way more of a pain in the ass than I expected. It has both an oil tank and the sump to drain, which wasn’t a problem. What sucked was the filter. It is not a spin-on filter like on most modern bikes, [continues below] #motosky #cb750

A most common sight at my house. #photography #52frames #frenchbulldog #52frames_lowkey #blackandwhite

Abandoned commercial laundry in Aurora, IL. Fuji X100F with Acros film sim. This building has apparently been abandoned since 2016. The mid-century style of it caught my eye when I was passing by on my motorcycle. #photography #abandoned #aurora #illinois #fujix100f

Today I made my first ever sale of a photograph at an art show. I’m fucking stoked. I’m not gonna get rich off this or anything but it is pretty cool that someone liked a piece of my work enough to lay down cash for it! #photography

#MisterPi batch 4 has started shipping. I am giddy with anticipation. #gaming #misterfpga

I thought I was just about to do the big final boss battle in Metaphor Refantazio, but, well, typical Atlus game things happened. Who knows how many more hours this thing has in it?! #gaming

The weather here in the Chicago region has been a rollercoaster lately. Tonight’s flash flood warning has been repeatedly extended. Out to 4AM now, and the lighting outside is like party lights.

Spotted this Yamaha RD400 on Facebook marketplace today. So sexy. I want it. Also 2 stroke braps #motosky #2stroke

Saw Shin Godzilla (2016) in the theater tonight. Pretty good, and reminded me a lot of The Days (2023) which was a mini series about the Fukushima disaster, with all of the politics and meetings about what to do about the ongoing disaster. #movies #godzilla

Stormy tonight #chicagoland

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you. Steam > (top right) Account Details > View Purchase History > Scroll down! My Steam account is older than this but I think all of the games I bought prior to 2007 were retail ones with Steam keys, like HL2. #gaming

Made an impulse purchase on FB Marketplace this afternoon. I already had the (massive) CD player on the bottom of the stack here. Pioneer SA-930 amp and TX-930 AM/FM tuner, both from 1982-83. Everything works, probably because there are no moving parts to wear out. Sounds great! #stereo #vintage

Without downloading any new pics where are you mentally?

I finally entered Dogtown in #Cyberpunk2077 today. Good times. #gaming

@takiudon.bsky.social any word on shipping for Mister Pi batch 4 preorders?
