Milo wasn't a fan of my mom using a measuring tape to see how many inches of space he was taking up on her bed. (It was 33 inches)

I've been sitting on a mostly-done version of a theoretical USUM hack for months without testing it or publishing it because I go back and forth on whether or not it's even worth publishing.

I know everyone is dunking on this "review" of Splatoon Raiders but I can't get over how ridiculous this take is. They never use the term "Spin-off" in the review, so my guess is that they either genuinely thought this was Splatoon 4, or just have never heard the concept of "spin-off" in their life

that one trash review of Splatoon Raiders complaining that it doesn't have Turf War and therefore the Splatoon devs are "discarding" the franchise's main gimmick. It's a spin-off.

I forgot how... weirdly they treated Kotori in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. Currently in ZEXAL II and there was a scene of Kotori fresh out of a shower, wearing only a towel, camera slow-panning up from her bare legs, the scene cutting right before the towel accidentally falls off. This character is 13. 🤢

The universe knew I needed eye-bleach so it blessed me with spotting a cute little baby gecko (probably newly hatched) peeking out of his hidey-hole next to the garage 🥰

Gonna need bleach for my eyes because I saw an ad below a video for a slopbot chat app with a cropped picture of an anime girl doing the nasty with a dog. YouTube ads make me want to commit seppuku.

I deleted the history off of the living room TV's YouTube, and after watching exactly 3 trailers for animated movies, these are the videos that came up in recommendations... I have no words. What the actual hell.

"from recommended searches" after watching 3 animated movie trailers (🧅5, 🧸📖 4, and 🧹), and two of the recommended videos that came up are:
Some lady talking about shaving her 🦪 and 🍑 🕳️

So I'm either just not a brie cheese person, or every wheel of brie I have ever bought was mishandled and/or doused with Windex. It can be purchased weeks from the "best buy" date and let to air out for hours, and it still has the aftertaste of cleaning products

I like cozy/life sim games in concept, but I have no creativity whatsoever. I did the bare minimum in Pokopia, barely touched it after getting to Sparking Skylands. Tomodachi Life, made an island with basic "characters from shows I like". All have the same boring expressions and personality.

Going to a Mexican place in Vegas tommorow as an early Mother's Day lunch, so I looked up their menu tomorrow and... 😬 They couldn't be bothered to take actual real photos of their own food, apparently.

Green fuzz herbs and nonsensical blobs of red and white in the chips, spoon a disproportionately small handle, two different bowls of salsa with one being incomplete and having weird shards coming out of it

Bowl of guacamole with red chunks that clearly never touched the guacamole

It's been like 17 years & I'm still not over the Pokemon anime giving so much screentime to Ash's Aipom, letting it slowly discover it liked contests, trading it to Dawn, having it be one of her top team members, and then deciding in a single episode to give it away to a stranger to master ping pong

The downgrade from BW1 Elesa to B2W2 Elesa (Normal/Easy Mode) will never not be sad and funny. Thank Arceus her Challenge Mode team is good.

The difference between Elesa's team in Pokémon Black/White compared to Black 2/White 2 (Easy and Normal mode). Elesa replaced one of Emolga with a Flaaffy, and both Flaaffy and her remaining Emolga have 3 moves.

I used this stupid slop app a year ago, regretted it immediately, and turns out you can't delete it so it's permanently part of the internet forever. Great.

Dumb app that runs your account through ay-eye and makes a sloppage summary of your account.
I did it a year ago out of curiosity, realized it was public and not delete-able, and I've since gotten more negative with my views on ay-eye so this thing is just a stain that cannot be removed.

I vastly underestimated the size of this burger.

A burger at a BBQ place that had two "brisket patties" (basically shredded smoked brisket reshaped into a patty and grilled), pulled pork, bacon, cheese, and fried pickles.
With a side of fried okra.

It did not need two patties. I had to take one patty off tone even eat this thing.

Had to take Cooper to the vet the other day because she started limping. She seemingly hurt her one of her back feet outside, but it's just tissue damage and will heal with rest. Poor little owl-kitty probably feels harassed from being picked up so many times over the last few days.

Cooper in the pet carrier on the way to the vet.

Cooper under my mom's chair in the vet's office. She was very calm and affectionate again once she was let out of the carrier and allowed to roam the room

Cooper two days later laying on the scratching board. She doesn't like being picked up normally, and probably hates it now more than ever if she associates it with vet visits and pain meds.

I made the mistake of overwriting my save outside the Zone with me in the grass, forgetting that I'd be standing up whenever I'd reset the game, making the Froakie run away every time I reset. But thankfully, after 10+ resets, I did manage to by speedy enough to get it 😵 #PokemonLegendsZA

I have never have felt more demoralized than using Undercover Brella in ranked #Splatoon3, losing a match... Then finding out days later that ProChara was on the winning team while livesteaming, so hundreds of people got to see me lose with Undercover Brella. Oof.

I really hope that one day we either get a full decomp of Pokemon X/Y, or a demake/fangame that more or less just recreates the game that GameFreak would have made if they weren't rushing the game and had their Gen 1-5 design philosophies intact. Reading about the cut postgame stuff makes me sad.
