Everything is honestly fine.

I just have a lot of adult stuff I have to sort out as well as try to create a bigger backlog of episodes so that I don't feel like I'm drowning when balancing finding guests and releasing at the same time.

Adulting is hard and exhausting sometimes 🫠

Hey all! I have to make the difficult decision to go on a release hiatus till the new year.

Tl;Dr: Adult stuff needs attention. Can keep recording, but the loop with releasing is too much work right now.

Attached image says all of this in more words and a pretty (?) picture.

More importantly, does it need to be a real fact and how do you feel about being posthumously accused of witchcraft and necromancy with a specialization in boxelder bugs and cicadas?

I heard from someone today that Bluesky is just full of extremists and crazy people and it's doomed to fail...

Y'all, whose hiding all the crazies? Everyone here seems mostly sane. Am i missing out on all the fun?

Or am i supposed to be truly unhinged here promoting cheese olives or something?

It also lets you annoy your friends that are trying to play seriously by chasing them around with a trumpet.

Allegedly it is a great way to make everything go sideways and create wild chaos

Every time I read people complaining/criticizing a solution to a problem as not the best, or that there are better options or what have you...

Remember, perfection is the enemy of good.

Progress is progress and only pushing for "perfect" ignores that progress.

I'm like, fairly confident this is some American rule as i was taught in school punctuations inside a quotation for speech is not an end to the sentence but things like Word fight that every chance it gets

Link Shinigami @linkshinigami.bsky.social · 23d

I can say that is not the case because i too get dick pics occasionally from people that absolutely refuse to appropriately use the adult content flag thing to prevent them from just loading up willy nilly

I wish you could report those people too cause damn, respect consent for sexual content pls

And iirc the biggest "anti" PS movement comes from the execs that give themselves 30% bonuses and raises every 12 months. The FedGov needs to pull rank and take the crown corp back and get rid of these freeloaders. Let it truly be a public service without the asshats at the top ruining it

Link Shinigami @linkshinigami.bsky.social · 27d

I really hate that people keep saying "Canada Post is a public service and doesn't need to be profitable"...

No, it was until '81. Then it turned to a crown corp with a mandate to be profitable.

The rhetoric needs to be "Canada post needs to be a public service again".

Technicalities matter here.

Well this is weird -
In grinding for items in Castlevania Symphony of the Night I have noticed Alucards pos + weapon + enemy pos has a seemingly repeatable drop rate?

Either that or I am super bloody lucky and the game gave me 2 1/1024 drops near back to back because I've had a super bad week 🙃

Fun nonsense fact (for the unaware) for why i think they can get away with this...

Non-freehold space you only own the volumetric space within the confines of building so the windows, and probably balcony, are technically theirs.

Which sucks because non-freehold stuff is actually "affordable" 😞

Link Shinigami @linkshinigami.bsky.social · 29d

Unfortunately, as i believe the issue with CanPost is mostly the execs, if the gov tried to intervene and get them back to PS you'd probably see an attempt at a weird fire sale by said execs to ruin any chances as well as an attempt to destroy CanPost.

The stars aligned and I was able to use the EoE gif. I'm legitimately shocked I had the chance but here we are!

I HAVE A NEW IDEA and oh god I'll probably get in over my head again with it but 🫠

Oddly it still largely has to do with @theredtunicpodcast.com and will go under its banner... I just... I have to find a #gamedev that will be ok with me stealing their time and the project falling through 🙃

Man I rarely get to drop this random tidbit but I like to 'cause I'm a moron.

Back when Charlie first started he released a short lets play video for Sumotori. So did I. We had the same cadence and such. My video was on his heels but I went "Ah man, dudes doing my schtick" and I bounced.

Apparently #MTG is doing a #TMNT set for next year?

And it'll likely see a Secret Lair release too?

Had a presentation at work today about what good AI could do for us...

In a 1hr presentation MS CoPilot rejected the same prompts from the previous test run and then hallucinated a random user was the creator of the current project despite the presenter saying it was the owner.

He blamed settings

You'd hope but clearly not, or at least no one is actually ensuring the law is being followed.
