While I wait for Factorio 2.1, thought I could clear some achievements. Lazy Bastard is a great opportunity to break my hand-crafting problem Then, I realized... I've never used artillery & had a very funny opportunity, getting both achievements for it at once

Anyways I have moved on to my usual giving up ritual, which is taking an easy win right after I am doing the first bit of work for my eventual "play every Fire Emblem game" plan. Might be streams, might be videos, maybe I just post about it. Who knows!

After months of not cooking, last week I did some pretty okay quick fried rice & today I did a perfect patty melt for brunch. We're back!

I felt like making a new Quickshell config after updating the old one for Hyprland lua support. Why not learn Qt shader stuff along the way? Far from the only way to recolor things dynamically but I like how it turned out Still not done yet but it has the features of the old one + peak volume bars

Surprising absolutely nobody, my plan of "eat mashed potatoes and gravy only for dinner because of dental appointment" yesterday has backfired the next morning

Let's Plays that brough us such sick quotes as

"Trotskyists are arguing for or against the big bang being viable under dialectical materialism" sounds like some Disco Elysium-tier abstractly poking fun at trots, but it's real and happening. It's like that guy who thinks 1+1=1 cause magnets, or the argument from the Dumbest Boy Alive video

Bottle for my new mouthwash has the color & shine like I'm about to clean my teeth with cobalt blue automotive paint

still drying off after a shower, saw this out of the corner of my eye & didn't quite parse the account Which lead to the thought of "That's cool & all but why is Defunctland posting this" only to realize my mistake moments later bsky.app/profile/chic...

Huge nerd moment: I believe the DDoS is the real cause, & the reason I believe it is they might have basically asked for it end of last week after the previous outage blogpost basically saying "oh yeah we thrashed our shit on accident & death spiraled" is kinda just asking for someone to test it

I dunno guys. Bluesky looks just fine to me.

getting back into making my website

Wife leaving today I'll miss her Yamcha death pose sleeping positions

I'm gay

The sleeper

guys, bluesky is dying. if we don't start getting more likes, a greedy developer will bulldoze the site to put up a parking garage. the only thing that can save it is for a ragtag crew of misfits to put on one last big concert at the community center.

Just saw the thing that's got idiots going nuts about ethel cain again & that's it? Seriously, that's it? I don't go here, but cmon

Random "fun" fact I learned recently: small aircraft still use leaded gasoline. FAA plans to transition over were only drafted last year & give a soft transition period plan until 2030, if market availability allows it Which I'm sure won't be at all affected by current events, mhmm, totally fine

as a Linux Sicko who owns a wired VR headset & 20 series Nvidia card, it's very nice to see that they have engineers on much more important matters, such as "making everyone mad with a tech demo that sucks shit" bad in every way except destructive failure. tho i guess 50 series does that on its own

You ever think about the fact that it's been 10 years & still, so many things are about the same? That history repeats itself? I feel like if you know what "allyzone" means you should be entitled to some form of compensation at this point.

Just found out the local CiCi's Pizza closed down & has a korean BBQ & bar in its place as of last year. What an upgrade

one thing my decades of experience in online communities allows me to say authoritatively is that it's extremely good that the staff here publicly air grievances about the userbase on a regular basis, because that always lets the userbase know they're being rowdy and encourages deescalation

Got all my guitar stuff set up now, got another big taste of the Audio On Linux experience figuring it out but we're all good now! Now if only I knew how to play it...

this summer I ordered a prebuilt pc that came with the GPU packed in separately. obviously a prime candidate for theft. and yes, of course, the package was mysteriously delayed, and when it arrived it contained only... the GPU. can't help but imagine the coen brothers writing the other side of this

Put nicer guitar picks on my christmas wishlist as a filler item but still feel goofy for it yeah lemme get uh triangles

Near completely fixed a big divot in my calf that's been there for year(s) by just... squeezing it a bunch 2 days ago The organic equivalent to getting a dent out of a bottle. Okay then

Fully cementing my role as A Fucking Nerd, I've been linux daily driving for weeks now & learned Quickshell. forgot to install CS:Source tho

four score and seven years ago i drew 2 cards from my deck

Guess who is passing a kidney stone again! 3 days before my birthday! :)

Header is getting more & more accurate over time. I ass Not yet at "ass is too big, need new clothes" but I am on pace for that soon too

Playing Deadlock a decent bit. Got Mo & Krill due to finally getting a game where I don't just get Billy, managed to luck into a good build & adjusted it for my tastes 2 games, 2 wins. Also I did good enough in a long game that an obvious new player Paige main copied me & bought Magic Carpet, lol

Some of the band t-shirts in the BL manga THE METALHEAD NEXT DOOR by Mamita:

Remembering strange things about my life. Went to a comedy show in September 2013, & my mom counted it as a birthday present. We were up on the grass so we were surrounded by weed smoke Unbeknownst to us, this was the show following Chappelle getting a bunch of racist hecklers in August

yknow the Cracker Barrel thing really fell into place for me mentally when I learned that the Steak n' Shake guy has a 9% ownership but no seat on the board. Like are people being performative about it regardless, sure, but it is definitely also that asshole trying to create pressure

Yknow at some point i should go even further in embracing the Adult Content label i got for the ass in my header

"I can see the affliction. I can like, taste Pepsi."

Went back and rewatched the Pat Finnerty video on Emo Girl again.

the other wrinkle in all these "we're banning porn for UK users!" and "bluesky isn't available in mississippi" stories that no one seems to be talking about: geo-ip is inaccurate as shit, even before VPNs get involved. you can't just detect where people are with any kind of consistency

My mom is "drunk as shit" in her own words. I wonder why
