Testament just released their new album, Para Bellum. Way better than Brotherhood Of The Snake and Titans Of Creation, as they've toned down the black metal experiments (not fully though) and we're back to Bay Area thrash. It might replace Dark Roots as my second favourite!

"bloodshed" has left early access recently. it's a combination of vampire survivors (most mechanics, including autoshoot) with a retro fps (aiming, dodging). climate and aesthetics are very close to "blood". hits a combo of dopamine releases i never knew could be combined.

My new laptop has an integrated GPU and a 2800x1800 screen, a combination which makes running new games sound impossible. But thanks to Gamescope's integer scaling and this iGPU being pretty decent (HX370), I got Oblivion Remastered look decent (no blur) and run at 35+ fps.

Current status: not the biggest fan of ActionMailer, it gets ugly when you want to do specific thing on some of the exceptions, and then test that.

I just pulled the plug and migrated (back) from Logseq to Obsidian, with all my journals and pages, and I've added my keep-it-markdown (export from Google Keep) notes as subdirectory. It already feels so good! Blogpost incoming.

UUIDv7 is awesome and included in Ruby 3.3 standard library, so there's no reason not to use it when you need sequential, timestamp-including identifiers that don't depend on central id-issuing authority.

TIL that Gemini 1.5 Flash also does vision and has a decently sized free plan (1500 requests per day) with low prices beyond that. Time to add it as third image description engine for my funny images archive.
