Don't even get me started on how every device has its own version of emojis, or whatever the hell the new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new ascii-text ripoff standard is.

Okay, I know that there's dozens, if not hundreds, of made up standards and then there's also standards to consolidate standards which make new standards, but I just want to say... Some of the standards feel like they're making a comeback from the 80's and everyone's in marketing and doing cocaine.

It was explained to me it's because of how the math is It takes the bundle price, then removes 10% of the total, then removes the full price of the game that you already own, then applies the new sale discount on top of that. Neat!

I thought that was when I eat so much that my gut expands and I have to eat more to feel full again?

Anyone else ever get this steam glitch?

Screenshot of the purchase page for BallXPit. One can buy it solo for 34% off, or with vampire survivors with 34% off.

Because I already own vampire survivors, it is $1 cheaper to buy it as the combo pack, despite the % being the same.

THE GARLIC FESTIVAL I used to hate when I was a kid but lately the garlic's been getting better and the food (GARLIC ON THE COB) has been amazing! :D

I HAVE YET TO FIND A RECIPE THAT IT DOESN'T WORK ON YET Oooh, garlic cake!...but wouldn't that just be sweet garlic bread then?

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I don't think there's any recipe that could NOT use a tablespoon of garlic powder. Ice cream? Yeah, that's like vanilla foot fetish. Pudding? Okay, now you're getting a bit of kick to it. Milkshake? I DRINK IT UP!

Your daily reminder that Photography & Pornography Both look very similar as channel names for your server. Probably add some emojis or something to make them quicker for visual distinction before you get bird photos in your porn and pussy next to your photoshopped food photos.

That awkward moment when you realize the level up chime in DragonQuedt/DragonWarrior is just a remixed version of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire.

I love watching ads. Ads are so good. Metrics metrics metrics. I may watch around $2k worth of ads every day. How? ...Don't worry about it! It's not like marketing is a big scam and there's a different way to ad-block that makes them pay so I get encouraged to go to places drowning in ads~!

Something that I love about older games, like RE:Outbreak, is that they usually had a "Nope. I'm out" ending. Secret ending to the first scenario is get to the part where the Bastard in Blue tells you 'walk from here', see the horde of zombies on the bridge, turn around and steal the car from 'em.

Reminder: I have Mint in my back pocket at all times. After I had to wipe everything from one of their "AI coded" updates it's only going to be one more fuckup before my sunk-cost-fallacy breaks and I go "Infinite-profits have led to forever-losses. Goodbye forever fucker!"

Windows 'start experience' app has caused me this issue before. I don't want to publicly say how to escape it without bots latching on. If I know ya,ask me. I've done it so many times.

*Sighs* I don't use one drive. My entire os is locked down because it is demanding I feed it pictures of grandma so it can try to reconstitute her into the digital god they wish their tech was at currently.

Sometimes I want to replay Xenogears and then I promptly remember the time sink that is trying to 100% the game and do all the minigames and hidden storybeats and go "Once was enough~<3" ((...Also fuck if I can play Speed again))

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

...I know it was pulling from some of my weirder recipes, as scrambled-egg ramen was one of them, but it did remind/make me think of making pan-fried riceballs (Cooked rice, egg and flour batter, freeze, pan-fry in butter) and... It shouldn't work. I'm tempted to try though.

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I had some strange dreams last night from a conversation yesterday of "Wait, is there a quick and easy way to separate the meat from chicken thighs?!" Which the answer was "Nope!" The dream however was a cooking show called "How the Poors Eat", a satirical documentary vs the Time's nepo babies.

...I just realized there's an age demographic that have grown up watching the Angry Birds movies but have never played any of the games since I 'think' the last one was on the wii?

On the bright side, this is reminding me to feed the starving children all my old armor. Really watch 'em chew into that shadowdragon hide for nutrients.

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

...All this does is remind me of how bad Occult Crescent is in comparison to Bozja. I know this is trying to stimulate life into older content, but it's kinda having the reverse effect of saying "Isn't the new stuff so much better?" into "We can't seem to recreate the Shadowbringers experience."

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14 of the weekly challenges to earn the current event mcguffin. For 3 weeks the choices have been between other older content, or "Save the Queen" which is their old Bozja content.

There's more, but those are the ones that finished up. Some were OK. Most were terrible. Like just super bad. Like, I can't even begin to explain what happened in the 10 years one since that plot went all over the fucking place.

• RE:Zero • The Oblivious Saint yadayadayada • I became a legend after 10 years fighting the demon lord's army • The Frontier Lord Begins with 0 Subjects • HELL MODE: The hardcore gamer dominates in another world with garbage balancing • Clevatess • A Livid Lady's guide to a low budget anime

This anime season is drawing to a close, and the ones that stood out were: • 3 season payoff • The JFK assassination ending • I had a chicken to defend against vampires, but then I learned to eat vampires • BIG SMELLY MAN. WIFE HAVE HORN! • NG+ via Hamtaro • Lasers from my mouse-ass! • 3d bookspin

These are just some of the zomboid ti-...I don't even want to say tips. This is me coming back to playing the game and going "Why don't I recommend this game to friends again?" and instantly going "OH YEAH, THAT'S WHY!"

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

• There are context-sensitive buttons, which would be fine if it would at least hint where/how to do something without living on the wiki. • Speaking of: holding v and holding q have secret radial menus. No, the game won't tell you directly and "fuck you for asking. Why aren't you on the wiki?"

110

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

• Speaking of calories. Cooking/crafting is a mess. The options aren't logically organized, it's "whenever we added is the order" which means "what was the name of the thing I needed again?" • Everything needs to be in your main inventory, and again if something fails, it fails silently.

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

• Overweight is good now. With the new calorie/fat/carbo system and how it works you're constantly missing something. Either get the free points from being 'overweight' or play the nonstop weight yoyo as you go between super skinny and obese via munching lemon grass and downing sticks of butter.

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

• Ugh, inventory is a mess. 'Currently selected bag' is where your grab items go. • Unless it's full, then you just won't pick it up and it won't tell you you didn't pick it up • Equipping and wearing are different. Wearing is safe, but if you 'equip' a bag expect to drop it every time you jump

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Things Zomboid players do instinctively that keep fucking me up: • You have to hold right click then press left to attack. • However you can always press Spacebar to push • Holding alt will attack downwards, but expect sweaty hands as you're right-click-holding + alt-holding then L-clicking

Stop thinking in infinite profits. Instead think of forever losses. If you tarnish your brand so badly you will have to rely on the young and stupid to continue funding your growth. And birthrates are declining~<3

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I understand there's sometimes a surplus of a certain chemical/oil that makes it cheap, but... STOP FUCKING CHANGING UP YOUR BRAND. I WILL GO TO A COMPETITOR FOREVERMORE AFTER YOUR SHIT MAKES MY SKIN ITCH VIA BETRAYAL FOR 3 CENTS FROM A SINGLE PURCHASE!

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I hate how I gotta buy a 12 pack of bodywash/shampoo/soap/whatever that'll last me 3+ years because every year they change the shape and name and design so what used to be "Wildberry" turns into "Wolfberry" which turns into "DEEZ NUTS". Also allergies and conflicting scents w/ formula changes.

Brejen @brejen.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

BUT everything's connected. You can tell the writer thought out the entire story and how everything is connected before starting the web-novel, as there's numerous hints for future events as well as past history coming through! It wasn't made with the 'plot-for-this-month' mentality and I love it!

Screenshot from the Wikipedia page for RE:Zero. Text reads as follows:

The series editor at MF Bunk J, Masahito Ikemoto, first became aware of the web novel in April 2013, when it began appearing on his Twitter Feed. He was immediately struck by the series' use of Return by Death, describing it as a "depressing, yet surprising, twist on the fantasy genre", and subsequently collaborated with Nagatsuki to adapt the series into a light novel. Although most light novels are approximately 250 pages in length, Nagatsuki submitted a manuscript exceeding 1,000 pages for the first volume, requiring extensive editing by Ikemoto. Nagatsuki had intended to incorporate worldbuilding early in the narrative, but Ikemoto argued that engaging readers with the characters should take priority. Consequently, he restructured the story so that the world and lore elements were deferred until the third arc of the series.

Content warning: It's a hard watch. It's not just the semi-horror blood/guts that can sometimes happen, but also the mental fuckery that goes through the character's heads via weird not-nice magic world's rules are grimdark at times. But then you have a cute cat! And maid twins! And Emilia-tan!

*Rolls around* AHHHHH~! 3 SEASONS OF EMOTIONAL PAYOFF IN THE SPAN OF 2 EPISODES And none of my active friendgroup watches RE:Zero. Sadly despite getting one halfway through season 1 it didn't stick because of 'that-one-awkward-storyarc'. ...I'm debating doing a viewparty of it.

Are you stressed? Journal more. Talk about your feelings in writing to process them. If nothing else, think about when you have a bunch of filled journals, and you'll be part of someone's side quest in the future when they try to figure out wtf happened.
