damn i was sure this would count

A screenshot of the quest log from FFXIV, for the quest "In the Shadow of the Tower". Two of the objectives are marked as completed. The third is labeled "Complete the critical encounter 'Appalling Behavior'.".

an uncooked pizza on a peel. toppings are pepperoni, olives, red sauce, and cheese.

i beg your pardon, who the fuck is this

A cropped screenshot from Memory Alpha. The header reads "Appearances". The text reads "This list includes 123 items (show all)." It is followed by a single bullet point, reading "VOY: (123)".

i recently tried to impress upon a friend just how much psychic damage digital art has done to me but i don't think i managed to convey how even a "quick doodle" so i can pngtube a ffxiv stream involves splitting the sketch into thirteen-ish individual layers that i can minutely adjust

well, if it's straight from the developer's mouth...

A screenshot of the Zero Escape wiki, for the character Seven. The header has been altered to read "Six Seven", all mentions of the now-last name "Seven" have been replaced by "Six", the first sentence has been altered to begin with "Six Seven, better known by his alias Seven..." and the last sentence has been altered to end with "...Six is the only character that doesn't have his real name revealed in-game." The remainder of the page is unaltered.

ok, serious question, why has half the sourdough bread at the grocery store been replaced with “artificially flavored sour”?

i've been having fun with trials of innocence (a chinese wright-like) but sometimes the backgrounds are unintentionally hilarious, like the view from this 101st-story window, with the bullet hole that i am told could not possibly have come from outside because there are no nearby buildings that tall

i’m getting tired of this bit so here you go

The Shibuya scramble crossing, with the 109 building artfully framed, but joke’s on you, the 109 building is one intersection over, this is a trick!

blastron @blastron.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

ok is it this one? i think i’m lost

Another crosswalk. This is not even a scramble (it’s all-way but not signaled) and there is a sign reading “Shinjuku Tourist Information” in the background.

blastron @blastron.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

i have been informed that the previous was not the scramble crossing so i went back to get the right one

Another scramble crossing in Shibuya. This one isn’t the famous one either.

wow, the famous shibuya scramble crossing

A scramble crossing in Shibuya. It is not the famous Shibuya scramble crossing.

i went to one of those trendy capybara/cat cafes and, somehow, despite spending most of the time with the capybara, the only picture i wound up taking was with this handsome fellow

A beautiful cat, sitting on a translucent yellow chair, getting a little scritch. He is a Siamese mix with a dark head, a light body, and brilliant blue eyes. There are more cats in the background but they are irrelevant.

blastron @blastron.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

am i picking the sake based on how good the cats on the labels are? no. incorrect. why would you assume that.

Two glass cups, of the kind in which frozen sake is served. The left is full; the right is empty. Both have cartoon cats on the label. On the left, the cat is angry and hissing. On the right, the cat is a fisherman and is holding a big fish.

if you see this, i implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using with no explanation

opened the curtains in my hotel and got hit by a raw blast of aesthetic

A dense urban environment, seen from several stories up. The buildings are a mishmash of styles and materials, and the rooftops are covered in machinery.

two cats! the cat on the right is a big fluffy white cat with black spots and a little mustache dot. he is lying on the ground. the cat on the left is a black void with eyes, standing up. the shot is low to the ground and at eye level with the cats, who are looking at the camera.

sometimes you just need to take a bit of a break and make yourself a procedural world-space grid texture, as a treat

A screenshot of some geometry in a level editor. The geometry has a checkerboard-like grid pattern on it. Notably, on angled surfaces, the grid stretches so that it lines up with those on flat surfaces.

if i were in silent hill i would simply walk around the monsters

A screenshot from Silent Hill f, depicting a dim, foggy alleyway. At the end of the alley is a weird puppet monster. A red arrow has been drawn pointing down the alley, labeled "intended path". Another red arrow, pointed at the monster, reads "spooky ghost". Green arrows have been drawn, labeled "easily climbed roofs", highlighting an alternate path that could be taken if the protagonist were able to haul herself up on top of waist-high obstacles, a feat that she has proven herself to be able to do.

me when i gracefully depart the bar at midnight after consuming my third plate of hot wings

A picture of the USS Excelsior from Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. It's a pretty typical Star Trek ship, with a wide, flat saucer, a couple nacelles on some pylons behind it, and connected by an engineering hull with a blue thing on the front. The engineering hull is way bigger and rounder than on most other Star Trek ships. The ship is flying dramatically past the camera, like a particularly majestic whale, with a space station behind it. A funny joke is that in the scene this shot is from, the ship is about to lose power and drift dead in space, as one does after their third plate of hot wings at the bar.

after five months of repeatedly shooting myself in the foot with increasingly complicated computational geometry problems i can now wrap lines around things in my levels, which is useful, because, uh... ask me in another five months

A screenshot of a video game editor. There are some blocks arranged to form various ramps and walls. An editor gizmo is placed on a white wireframe capsule. Originating from the base of the capsule is a green line that projects forward, wrapping itself along the blocks.

Similar to the first image, showing a different configuration of blocks.

come on are you even trying

A Google screenshot of the results for the phrase "q-up 'exit to hero select'". The top result is an AI Overview. It reads:

The command "q-up 'exit to hero select'" is likely a user query for how to quickly return to the character selection screen in the game
Sunderfolk, where that specific menu option exists.
- "Q-up" is a general gaming term for queuing up for a match or a game mode.
- "Exit to hero select" is a menu option found in the game Sunderfolk (and possibly others with similar mechanics), which allows players to change their character between missions or from the main town area.

this is so true it hurts. i used to blitz through game jams while writing new songs weekly and training parkour and translating webnovels, all with a full-time job. my soul was on fire and it was impossible to contain. now i struggle to keep even one thing alive. when did i decide everything is hard

A screenshot of a tweet by @arithmoquone on X, the everything app. It reads: “When I was 15 I wrote a raytracer in a day just off intuition and wikipedia alone. It’s not like I’ve gotten dumber. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I think it’s literally just a confidence thing. I used to believe I was smart. I need my ego back.”
