I've been upgraded to Win 11 at work. I know it's needed but the fixed taskbar on the bottom is killing me.

Final day highlight. A morning walk to the waterfront in Urayasu. This marks the end of the Tokyo Game Show 2025 trip.

Thank you all for coming to #TennoVIP Tokyo. I'm glad we could run this event for you all. You should have never trusted me with your Karaoke machine. 😜 Photo courtesy of @zachmckone.bsky.social

Things I learned at TGS 2025. 1. Selfie sticks are banned (totally understandable) 2. Ow my feet.

Good morning Tokyo Game Show 2025. See you later this afternoon.

Midweek. Need that extra motivation? How about donut day at work? Yeah. They spoil us.

Shit. Deadlock is pretty fun. I did not expect to like it as much as I do. Gremlin Support Main!

102 days. Rank 3 in my league. I need to practice as much as possible before Tokyo Game Show and our vacation in November.

Time for me to retire my messenger bag. I love it but my back and my age don't. Time for your reasonably priced tech backpack recommendations. Needs to fit a 17in laptop. Look modern/mature/minimalist. Anti-theft pocket for travel. Water resistance to protect my gear from the rain. Go.

Flights officially booked for our first real vacation in over 10 years. Now to plan everything else.

During holiday break last year, I started playing Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and dropped it after Costa del Sol because it felt like chores, the video game. This long weekend, I finished it. I must say, the enjoyment levels of no filler were remarkable. I don't know how I feel about it.

What an stellar Path of Exile season. Finished 3.26 Solo Self-Found two nights ago. Some highlights: ✅ 36/40 challenges ✅ All bosses killed (minus Ubers) ✅ 115/115 Maps ✅ 132/132 Atlas Passives ✅ All favourite slots ✅ All Voidstones ✅ Highest level ever (97) ✅ Crafted a disgusting axe ✅ Never died 🙈

Okay. Uhhh. I might be running into problems with my browser on Linux and uploading images to Bluesky 🙈

Today is the love of my life's birthday. I am truly the luckiest man alive to have you by my side throughout our journey in life. I love you @tadacharly.bsky.social 🧡

Wtf. That was 6 hours of grinding that so many of you watched while I nerded out about Japanese music. Thanks for stopping by. Maybe in the future, I do a full showcase of music that defined me as a person. 1994 - 2010 Jrock.

Grinding away the Path of Exile Challenges. 9 more to go! twitch.tv/ruutv

I appreciate the Apple ecosystem. The seamless integration across all devices is incredible. But as an Android daily driver, it's extremely frustrating to use.

Learned a lot. Linux and Enhanced 2K Broadcasting is not ready. 2 big problems. 1. Lower bitrates were playing old audio from 10 minutes in the past randomly. 2. AMD HEVC is better than what it was a few years ago but it still isn't as clean as Nvidia's NVEC codec. Going back to 1080p for now.

It's my day off but I am researching and testing Twitch's 2K streaming. Let's see if I break the bitrate twitch.tv/ruutv

Music taste in 6 artists 1. Pay money To my Pain (P.T.P.) 2. FAKE? 3. hide 4. Dragon Ash 5. RADWIMPS 6. Bump of Chicken It's amazing that after all these years, I keep coming back to these Japanese bands. Almost 30 years since hide's passing but his music helped define me as a person.

One of my favourite tasks for Tennocon is creating the Twitch Drops video. Since everyone loved 90s Zach so much, we had to bring multiverse versions of him back. Shoutout to @zachmckone.bsky.social for going along with all my cringe ideas. Here is Day 1.

I started taking vocal lessons last June, so I've been learning and singing regularly for a little over a year! I've been keeping my progress more private - only sharing with family and close friends. However, I want to start sharing more here, too! This video is from April 2025! 🎵 💕

After almost 2 years, we are now officially caught up to One Piece. Now we wait every week with you all on new episodes.

if you are ever curious what it looks like behind the scenes at Tennocon.

@brighan.com now that was a great restream. Your reactions were top notch. "I hope nothing bad happens to Adis..." 😏

I think the cats are so happy we are home.

@patchworkbeanie.bsky.social 10/10 restream. Your reactions are top notch. But I have questions. 😂

Nobody said the MTG had to end in the park so we drafted the Final Fantasy set courtesy of one @rebbford.bsky.social ! A perfect send off for an incredible event!

A reminder. If you or your favourite streamer co-streamed Tennocon, send me those links.

Love this game, this community, and these devs. HERES TO ANOTHER 10 YEARS!! #TennoCon2025 @ruu.coffee @tacticaltater.bsky.social @tadacharly.bsky.social @warframe.com

It was so so much fun to assist @ruu.coffee this year with the TennoCon production! 😍 I hope you all had an amazing experience! 💕 Thank you for being there and watching the streams!

This is only a fraction of our production team that helped move mountains to bring Tennocon to you. Thank you all for the love. Seriously. We are constantly blown away by your support.

So... What did you think of TennoConcert? Was this something you were prepared for?

Me: Since I'm working production, I should wear dark clothing to blend in with my surroundings. Also me:

And here we see the broadcaster in his natural habitat. Careful now, do not startle him during this moment of focus. He might cry.

Warframe Creators. Please restream Tennocon. I am so locked in during the show that it's all a blur to me. One of my favourite things to do after is watch your reactions. That's all I watch for weeks. Let me know if you plan on it so I can place you on the watch list.

HOW IS IT JULY?!

Windows is gone. No turning back now.

I think I'm ready to rid myself of my Windows install. I booted into it briefly for the first time in months and hated every moment. As much as I love how lightweight EndeavourOS is, I don't think I can keep up with the maintenance of everything but I have learned so much. So next stop, Fedora? 🤔

🍭😈 #ironmouseart

Today is a Dragon Ash kind of day. I need those tunes to help finish the week. youtu.be/gYkGPbIu75M?...

Top 5 Steam Games sorted by hours played. The top 3 aren't accurate as it doesn't count stand alone launchers or console game time. I don't even want to know how much I spent in these free to play games 😆

Hmmmm? 🤔

What a wild ride of Linux wtf moment. Yesterday, I updated a few dependencies which didn't brick my system but locked it up whenever I attempted to play media. If I wasn't willing to tinker with software as much as I do, I wouldn't recommend Arch Linux. Fedora or Debian based distro though 🤔
