I would like to believe this is just an AI chatbot in the vain hope that gay men who have the personality of a tube of mayonnaise don't exist but they do. They really do

I found this cursed 2000s mouse stuffed into a drawer at work. I think that the default way to interface with a computer should be to rotate a giant fleshlike orb

you could say the failure of mankind to stop exponentially consuming data is a tragedy of the dot commons

you go BACK to anime dvd box sets and you will LIKE it

I kind of am here for how Pokemon games depict this mythical element and spiritual reverence for animals probably imported from Japanese animism which feels really lovely and profound and then most of the game is about making them fight each other for money

humanity is saved if we collectively agree to go back to shitty dial-up internet. people get bored of 50kb/s speeds and go outside. emissions fall as AI data centres lose their viability. social media is dead forever. you still can enjoy IMs, CD-ROMs, forums and silly cat .gifs

It branches into innovation, games and tech, but yeah, not quite PAX level

It is still open and free! But yeah I feel you, I completely forgot about PAX

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 2d

I am at SXSW Sydney showing off a cool game by Fragile Shapes called Beyond the Board. It has been nice to ramble to strangers about puzzles all day

the only upside of birthdays over 30 (next week) is figuring out which businesses that harvested your data are willing to give you a discount

or, to be fair, protective muscle mommy

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 2d

totodile is the greatest starter in pokemon history. he is both cute and fierce, and canonically is the only starter to evolve into a protective muscle daddy

Oh damn it sounded like you were ready to disappear somewhere exotic- sorry!

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 2d

Where are you headed?

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 3d

Absolutely! I have Bowery Electric track on mine. What does it for you? I found a band recently called a.s.o that really capture that vibe

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 3d

No actually! Currently listening to 'Material' by a band called Carroll. Sort of an indie thing with very mild neo-soul thing going on

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 3d

I think its that indelible dissonance when you feel quite isolated but are surrounded by life and people, mwah. Perfect vibes. Love it. Inescapable ennui and nice music as an outlet for emotional release

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 3d

how good are sad wanders through the city. i have a sad wander playlist entirely for this purpose

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 6d

the hat stays on indoors. my hairline has not receded recently. i do not bathe in a vat of minoxidil every night

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 6d

I went to the gym and all I got out of it was a vague ego boost

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 6d

i'm trying to write about them more often

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 6d

ryan @cybreco.bsky.social · 6d
