supporting a four day work week so i can fit in the critical and important "stare into space and disassociate day" into my routine

I implicitly feel comfortable around pokemon gays because anyone that has the patience to attempt to catch over 500 of the fuckers is either very chill or almost certainly neurodiverse

Playing Outer Wilds and I don't know if this is just depression talking but really vibing with a game that overtly deals with themes of existential dread and inescapable doom in a cute alien space puzzle game

after writing the wiki article for Barbie (1984) as an early video game for girls, i'm researching Barbie Fashion Designer (1996). you may laugh but there's like a million women out there for who this was their first video game. in 1996 this sold more than quake or doom

if you post or like a comment that says "who's still listening to this in 2025???" on a music video you deserve life imprisonment

I bought like 10 new floral shirts over the past week to wear to work. I will NOT let the hot guy on my floor co-opt Weird Floral Shirt Guy status. That title is MINE

sex slings look like they would do wonders for my lower back. buying one and just rocking around in the backyard with a drink and a book in it like it's a patio hammock

took a bunch of night shots from the trip to taiwan. wandering around taipei is great: there's no shortage of night markets and food stalls to check out. always busy, always rainy

"Elf Monopoly", I intone. My children immediately start crying. My wife tugs on my shoulder. "Please," she feebly protests, "not Elf Monopoly. Not tonight". I slam my fists on the table, knocking over the wacky Will Ferrell player piece and Elf Dollars. Christmas night is ruined

does anyone really outgrow a midlife crisis or is it more just that people settle at various levels of comfort with accepting some problems are just inescapable aspects of life as an adult

i guess i should get bigger arms if i want to play drums, which is probably me doing more weights and protein so i can hit thing good

i'm not so good at learning to develop my own film and mishandled and trashed this roll up really badly pretty much in every way one can. has a real "you found your dad's concert slides in the attic" vibe though. hashtag no filter

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

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

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

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
