Photo of a green waist-high smirking stylized plastic child figurine with a heart in the middle of its chest reading "KIDS". The left half of the figurine is visibly discolored by prolonged sun exposure and it is chained to the post of a street sign via its arm using a steel chain and a bronze lock.

Bonus: After accompanying on the hunt, I am allowed to touch now.

About a week ago I was in the village where I grew up. Took these pictures of a water mill inside an alley for someone who asked about that place.

Some of the birds he was interested in…

I also met Gatt after not seeing him for a long time. 😊

Not the greatest weather here lately, but I got out yesterday for a few and met the poop-inspectors…

It was surprisingly painless.

recoverydrive.exe isn't doing too well either. 🤷‍♀️

I'm about to install CachyOS and I'm scared, because the only backup computer I have is a Steam Deck. 🥺

vergeofapathy ⛾ @apathetic.bsky.social · 1d

The Windows 10 tool to create backup images of your install can't create a corresponding bootable device for you to restore that image unless you still have a CD/DVD burner lying around. 🤔
Got to manually launch recoverydrive.exe for that, something that's not in the backup/restore/recovery GUI.

Interesting if true…

Screenshot of the Steam store page for the game "Ricochet" claiming it's similar to the games "Doom(2016)" as well as "Resident Evil 7"

Really enjoying the actual game part of the game. Though the story feels like it's trying its best to get me to break the Y-button on my keyboard ("skip dialogue line") out of boredom. 😐

vergeofapathy ⛾ @apathetic.bsky.social · 7d

While the cinematography is neat, the first 15 hours of Cyberpunk 2077 just felt like I accidentally skipped 40+ hours of story missions that were supposed to get me attached to that one guy who died and the protagonist who will/could. Instead I'm watching every cutscene with the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯-emotion.

Probably still the BF2 Demo, which in hindsight somehow ended up being the best multiplayer version of that game.

Bonus today is this landscape scene featuring ground fog that I like (and shot at 150mm (equivalent) due to cold fingers 🙃)

(4/4🧵)

Landscape photograph of a mowed meadow in the foreground, followed be an unmowed part of the meadow, followed by the overhead line of a rail track, followed by a bunch of low fog across a field, followed by another field higher up, treeline even further up a hill in the background, some of the horizon visible

Pretty sure that's the kestrel on the left. Other photo is a song thrush I think

Morning was really cool (literally). First pic is the meadow where the "stork" was yesterday… which I was told is probably some type of heron and not a stork.

These first three were taken with some ancient 35mm Beroflex lens.

Is there any indication it was not just the inverse? As in a (dangerous) one-way shortcut down until one rings the bell which wakes up the dog thus enabling the way out.

I don't have much this time, but I got up very early yesterday for a little rabbit holdout. "Heavy fog" warning on my phone so I went out even earlier than I planned. 🙃

Maybe they just never polished it to line up because at that point they were aware that the elevator breaking in the non-prototype maps could easily lock the player down there.
Though I think this could have been a dope way to force people taking the shortcut to traverse Blighttown in reverse.

Bonus sneaking stork because you made it to the end:
