Hiya, I'm Ren! 🦊🏳️‍🌈

"Adventures in Modern Recording" (1981) by The Buggles (Trevor Horn / Geoff Downes) is one of my favourite albums of all time.

A synthpop album, one of the earliest created with the Fairlight CMI, a digital sampling synthesizer. Featuring strange, abstract lyrics inspired by novelist J. G. Ballard.

I watched this movie with my parents when it aired on TV and it was actually pretty decent, for being a romance with a furry meeting sidestory.

I appreciate it for not making fun of fursuiting and showing it in a sympathetic light. First time I've ever seen that on public mainstream TV in Germany.

Oil slick in the middle of the forest with freshwater source nearby. This sucks.

I just saved an earthworm. 🪱
It was in the middle of a street and a car was coming.

I quickly picked it up and threw it far away into the grass on the side of the road.

Earthworm Jim gets to live another day.

A mushroom, fly agaric (amanita muscaria), in the dark. 🍄

Ren, you're autistic? What does that mean?

Every person on the autism spectrum is different. We have some stuff in common. Like niche interests we're super into. Or being clumsy with social interactions.

Here's an attempt at explaining my autism. 🦊

I still use Windows Movie Maker in 2025 to create stuff for YouTube. For audio uploads.

This is the one software I haven't found an adequate Linux replacement/counterpart for yet.

If anybody has suggestions let me know. WMM is one of the main reasons I still cling onto my old Win 7 laptop.

Having a day with not much to do I think I want to dabble in some Kraftwerk stuff again.

I spent months cherry picking the highest quality concert recordings of the band. I could make a playlist of them.

I have excellent hearing and a pretty good judgement of what makes a bootleg recording "good".

It probably doesn't make much of a difference, but I won't be buying anything Harry Potter related ever again. Not in this lifetime.

I used to like those books as a kid. But J.K. Rowling's anti trans hate campaign makes me feel repulsed.

I can't find joy in something made by an awful person.

Free as a bird 🪶

A common sight late October / early November in the Saarland region of Germany. They fly Southwards for the winter months and return in spring when the weather turns mild again.

I thought they're wild geese, but no, they're cranes (Kraniche in German). Geese make different noises.

Something that greatly impresses me about birds of prey is their ability to "hover in place the air" to observe their surroundings.

When they spot prey they swipe down to grab it. Some species are even able to see near ultraviolet light. They can spot the urine trails of small rodents to find them.

I love watching the sunset from this spot on my hiking trips in the nearby hills.

I have a few favourite spots where I enjoy hanging out, listening to music or just relaxing, this is one of them.

I spent the evening with my family. We watched a movie on TV and a furry meeting and fursuiters played a central role in it. It was portrayed in an absolutely sympathetic and cute way.

My parents didn't make fun of it, and I felt very happy. I felt embarrassed but at the same time it was wonderful.

Even Cloudy Skies are pretty 🩵

There are still flocks of birds flying to the South. I guess they must be wild geese.

Weather was beautiful when the fog lifted up on the hills. I love this place, one of my favourite hiking paths in the area.

Common Puffball / Flaschen-Stäubling / Lycoperdon Perlatum

When mature they burst into a cloud of spores when stepped on, hence the name puffball. They're edible when young and white inside. Seen in Southwest Germany, November 9th, 2025.

Always wanted to make a video of them. ^^

Did a 4(!) hour walk, exploring a new route in the forest. The day started foggy but later, up in the hills, it cleared up and the sun came through. It was beautiful.

I feel amazing and happy. 🦊🎵🧡

I met a cute doggy wandering around all alone. Probably it belongs to a hunter. It was friendly. 🐶

I'll spend the evening practising Super Mario Bros. 2 The Lost Levels. 🦊🐾

I never finished a playthrough of the original Famicom Disk System version although I completed the All-Stars SNES version many times.

FDS is harder. 1-Ups are meaningful as you restart the world with 3 lives on Game Over.
