Ruler of an empire of dirt.
I’ll accept him adding his name to the Kennedy Center, but only on the condition that it is also in a ‘memorial’ capacity.

Because Spotify doesn’t always have everything, I have just bought my first new* cd’s in 12 years.

Very efficient too. Direct from Amazon Japan to Australia in a little over 48 hours.

(*The cd’s, while new, are actually 20 years old…)

So he’s been looking rough lately, but when you take off the mask, it’s actually quite alarming…

Got the blocks consolidated down from taking up a giant storage tub on the floor, to just a single shelf.

Now begins the long process of counting everything.

The pieces initially appeared to be bagged up correctly, but after starting to count out and check the pieces from bag 1, it has dawned on me I’m going to just have to sort everything (!) into colours and do a full audit.

It may or may not be the UCS Millennium Falcon and a stand.

All 8445 pieces of it.

it’s very silly.

But it was free, and not $1300, so 🤷‍♂️

well, my (now free) silly aliexpress purchase has finally arrived.

No greater indicator for how disrupted, interrupted and generally shit my year has been than a listening to 16k less minutes of music than normal.

feels bad man.

So I caved on the Black Friday sales and grabbed a PS Portal.

I wasn’t sure if the remote play experience would be better than via any of the apps, but I was *quite* wrong.

At least for my setup at home, it feels like the games are running natively. very pleased.

The sky yesterday genuinely looked quite evil.

Like those pictures of the first milliseconds of a nuclear explosion.

What in the bloodborne is going on up there?

Oh hey, the Analogue 3D is finally shipping.

Neat.

Well this was unexpected.

My mum’s iPad (which was my old 2017 Pro) died on Tuesday, and she offered to buy my M1 Pro and essentially go halves in the new M5.

So…I have a new iPad now?

I bought something silly from aliexpress because it was very steeply on sale, and the tracking just updated and oh god it’s so much heavier than I thought it would be.

I am trapped, but in a good way.

case in point for the aphantasia + chess thing.

I won this game in a minute. Didn’t lose a piece. Only moved 3 pieces. All I can remember is how I opened. Everything else is blank.

There’s not a lot of planning in my chess, it’s all very much flying by the seat of my pants.

I have admittedly gotten quite into chess via Duolingo.

Been doing it for about a month and I’ve just cracked 800 ELO.

After trying and failing to get into it several times in my life, I am starting to actually see the matrix a little, sort of…

(aphantasia + chess is a weird equation)
