I don't know what exactly caused my GeoGuessr rank to drop down to Gold IV - do you lose ranks for skipping weeks now? - but it's time to fight my way back up twitch.tv/arborelia

does this programming language support tables?

Good news: I've met the eligibility requirements for my permanent residency application! I can also apply for an open work permit! Bad news: It's $600 for the processing fee for my perm res app & $155 for the work permit. I hate asking for help but I've set a ko-fi goal: ko-fi.com/proxyglitchc...

so: yes, there is a nationwide shortage causing the supply to pharmacies to be inconsistent an unexpected person very helpfully pointed me to Costco Pharmacy, which was able to fill the prescription

Tonight, @arborelia.net and I have been beating our heads against the Super Mario Odyssey rando trying to make heads or tails of it. It's been such a fun time. Both of us figuring out how it works and excitedly running to the others room to share findings. That's marriage, y'all.

I've been doing that to the best of my ability also, but I don't want to break into my resulting emergency supply of semi-expired estradiol just yet, when it's a medication I'm prescribed and supposed to still be getting

aaaagh the CVS pharmacist just asked me if maybe I could switch to patches

okay uh, is it true that estradiol valerate is unavailable nationwide, or is CVS bullshitting me?

I'm working on my post for tomorrow night's Silver Ball Century, and I'm excited to write this one because I get to tell you why the attract mode of Data East's "WWF Royal Rumble" pinball machine has a reference to a Weekly World News article

page from Weekly World News, headlined "DEATHBALL 2000". Subheadings: "New pinball machine electrocutes players who lose ... & teens are dying to play!"

An unrelated inset article is headlined: "Dinosaurs plucked their eyebrows, says scientist!"

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

In local spaces, I've gotten a few compliments on my dead bounces and occasionally asked how I look for them. So I made a lil graphic of what I look out for! This applies to both Real and Vpins, the majority of my playtime is on VPX but I absolutely think this applies to both! Hope this is helpful!

The flippers of Monster Bash, with the left side colored to sections of the top of the flipper. Underneath is a legend that goes over what the colors mean.

red: The "Uhoh!" zone! Don't try to dead bounce here, its very risky at best, will do the silliest, saddest flop over to the other side. Try other saves. Note: If the flipper is raised, the tip of the flipper is great for passing it over to the other side!

green: The "Yippie!" zone! Leads to an ideal dead bounce! Don't panic flip, the ball will typically make its way to the other side and roll down at a pace thats easy to attempt a good shot. It also feels great!

yellow:The "Wild!" zone! You're usually good to dead bounce here too! but be careful as the trajectory could be a bit bouncier than the green zone, and depending on the layout, bounce into sling territory (Bad!).

purple: The ambiguous "What the hell!? I swear the ball hit the rubber there, why did it just slide off!?" zone! If the ball hits the inlane part and not the flipper, it usually doesn't bounce. Either get ready to flip on that side, or try shielding/cradling.

I made a shitpost the other week comparing AI to blood magicks but I'm a bit tempted to write a story about that. Twisted magicks taught to the world by The Dark Lord, an evil lich, claiming to have seen the errors of his ways. Everyone that uses the magicks weakens and corrupts, but it's so useful!

I know it's 3 in the morning here but I am still glowing about how we have pinball events here without the IFPA involved in any way, and people are _showing up in numbers_. it's not just a Belles & Chimes thing anymore. Cis men are showing up!

as a possum who lives in a tree in the woods, even though I have a degree from MIT, it is hard for me to evaluate the AI guys’ propositional attitudes but all this embarrassing spectacle drives one thing home for me: how grateful I am to have aged out of believing I am So Smart And Special

the funny awkward part was when I was loading it into my car and another green haired woman shouted that I'd left the front wheel on the ground. I was about to drive away without it

arborelia @arborelia.net · 16/09/2026

it was pretty uncomfortable and took a few tries. I said out loud "if you're watching this, I assure you this is my bike" but also it was unsettlingly easy overall

well I have a fun task this morning, which is that I need to steal my own bike (a cheap ABUS combination lock failed in the locked position, on a bike rack in a park, and the only recommendation anyone can give is "buy bolt cutters")

I really appreciate anyone who stopped submitting to the ifpa, and now we have something to show for it. it's no longer that trans players and their allies are quietly disappearing. TDs have _noticed_ that we're missing
