God, I'm a basic bro. I got pumpkin spice themed body wash. I also have a pumpkin spice themed cat.

If only we were all as hot as the Zepbound farmer's market lady on the instructions packet. You know how like everyone is hot in beer ads? It's like that for diet drugs.

Well, I just like to point out that you made me curious enough to watch Chargeman Ken.

Do all the Japanese sauce containers really look like they have little eyes?

They work whether they are connected to the network or not, so you can configure them and then delete the app but you're not going to get the little messages that the food level is low.

They're actually pretty good. A company actually sent me one to review and I absolutely love it. It's like a bidet for your cat. The people that use them are cultish about it. youtu.be/m5XqCSuOio8

Luckily they still sell the older versions where there's no camera but you got to still have a 2.5g wifi around. I got this one, or one very similar by the same maker. a.co/d/06WNdCr0

About three decades ago, I had the norovirus and I was violently puking and shitting myself nearly to death. The ER docs kept asking me if I'd been on a cruise ship where this happened to almost everybody on board, and it was at that time I decided that cruise ships were not for me.

You could take Officer Izumi out of the police force, but you can't take the police force out of Officer Izumi. The sense of justice just has her by the very soul.

Just look at those hand-painted Showa-era acrylics. Those backgrounds are just dank.

You mean her deadbeat dad who blew up her home and killed basically billions? Gosh, I could imagine that she would have cracked open a couple of tasty marshmellons (Star Trek V reference).

Which part of the Pacific Northwest? So I don't know any dedicated art space. However, I do know a queer trans lady that runs a retro video game store that's very large. It's in Portland.

Still is so fucking impressive. There's no way I could do anything like that. I mean, I'm good, but you would absolutely wipe the floor with me.

Whenever I film against my green screen, I feel like I'm filming a hostage ransom video but with compositing.

There are two autographs that I'd like to get at Portland Retro Gaming Expo this year. I'd like to have Nolan Bushnell sign my Atari games, and I want Gail Tilden to sign my Pokémons.

My favorite "anime" is on. You see, it's ironic because Star Wars was a huge influence on anime, and George Lucas took inspiration from the Japanese cinema of Akira Kurosawa in making Star Wars. He even tried to hire Toshiro Mifune.

It is a goddamn abomination that Robotech stripped out all the soundtrack and original songs from Genesis Climber Mospeda. I am listening to it on a cassette tape while I'm walking my cat. It SLAPS so hard for mid 80s Japanese rock youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I figured out the controller UI for TimeslotTV and when you go full screen mode it is awesome. And then you can flip through your channels. It's not out yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam.

So I was looking for a mini photo printer and the super macho "slightly pink" model was five dollars cheaper, so I was like, "Oh yeah, I'm covered in chest hair, sign me up!"

@metagamemike.bsky.social DIAGONAL MOVEMENT CONFIRMED! So it is more Neutopia II and Zelda: Link to the Past instead of Zelda 1-ish. Moving diagonal is a QOL improvement

I cannot wait for some "Zelda 1" flavored zombie killing action.

JKR is more than just a transphobe she actually used her billions to change the laws of the UK lobby their Supreme Court and to get trans girls kicked out of the British equivalent of the girl scouts. Politics isn't stripping people of their basic human rights. That's hate group shit

TimeslotTV is a cable TV experience simulator. You give it a directory of videos and it arranges them with a channel guide and everything and you can flip through your videos. It even has VHS and scan line simulation. It's coming soon to steam and then to Mac and PC. www.timeslot.tv

Eff Facebook they have gotten worse and worse and worse and now they're just openly pushing Nazi stuff to get a reaction like I don't want to see Nazi stuff but it knows that I don't want to see it and so it's deliberately showing it to me it's trolling

The coziest YouTube video just dropped, the official 10-hour "fire log" Funeral Pyre of Darth Vader burning, i know technically he's Anakin again at this point but that probably smells like burning hair and burning plastic and burning evil. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyXX...

So I went out DVD hunting and I came home with something completely different, which is always the case and it's okay. Well, in fact, it's totally rad.

So I was at my local library and I literally saw a zine about something I've always been curious about but not enough to ask someone about. The more you know.
