my job is, unfortunately, software engineer at big corporation, and the pressure from higher ups to use ai tools is mounting exponentially every day. at this point i'm just seeing how long i can hold onto my job before they let me go for refusing to engage

i decided it's about time i finally play a fromsoft game... and i'm very pleased to announce that i've picked a real fan favorite for my first 😌

FromSoftware page for IRAROJI VOW, a Nintendo DS nonogram game from 2007.

A screenshot from the game. If you're familiar with Picross, that's essentially what this is.

first tattoo ⭐️ my lifelong favorite little guy

A small tattoo on my right arm, just above the elbow crease. It's thin black line art of Kirby on a star, based on a sprite from Kirby's Dream Land.

will never forget the time a few years back when a pest control guy came into our apartment, saw the decorative skull on top of our bookshelf, pointed to it, and said "ah, a touch of the macabre"

hot dogs are like how diet coke tastes best in a diner cup or in a can, but for locations. a hot dog at a baseball game > a hot dog at a barbecue > a hot dog anywhere else

oh interesting! i wonder how intentional that is since the book's from 2019 - although maybe booktok was already really active back then, i don't remember! (i'm also seeing that bunny itself is considered a "booktok book" which would make for a fascinating extra layer)

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

i knew i was entering a depression hole earlier this week because i saw that my gf had tucked one of our stuffed animals into the bed very cutely and instead of thinking "awww" i immediately felt a wave of grief wash over me for the Impermanence Of All Things
