Welp. Guess I'm never buying another LG product. Bring dumb devices back.

If you grew up during the advent of social media, and can come to the conclusion that society is worse off for having invented it and handed it over to capitalism, and you think AI isn't more of the same and will somehow work out for the betterment of mankind... I don't know what to tell you.

If you're at #SGDQ2026 and you'd like a bit of free merch, come to the practice room and find either myself or @ihaveonebigeye.bsky.social in the practice room to try Super Metroid Map Rando and claim your pin!

I soft released a rom hack, Zelda 2: One Mind, on the Z2 speedrunning discord. I plan to get it on some of the hacking sites after SGDQ. If you've ever wanted to make zelda 2 more difficult by playing with a friend, this is the hack for you.

Going to #SGDQ2026? Like Super Metroid Map Rando? If you can find me at the event, I'll be giving these enamel pins away to any Super Metroid Map Rando player who asks for one! Never played Super Metroid Map Rando? Try it today (maprando.com), or in-person at #SGDQ2026 and give it a whirl!

The older I get, the more cynical about some things I am. At this point I honestly feel like it would be better for society if we deleted the stock market and went back to pensions for retirement. Speculation in general just seems to be tied to the worst things these days.

Just got a phone call from my PCP that my assigned doctor was let go from the practice due to "corporate downsizing". Capitalism in healthcare is utter cancer.

Topics of conversation at dinner with my coworkers: International travel ❌ Sales ❌ Sports ❌ Investments ❌ Exotic vacations ❌ I often feel like I'm out of place with other adults (especially in social settings like bars) but more the truth is that the traditional conversation topics are so BORING.

Update to this: I am not as big a fan of their pricing, which is, to put it mildly, extortionate.

I'm 40 today. My back does not hurt, I weigh less than I ever have in my adult life, I exercise regularly, and I still play and enjoy video games. Which is not what my parents predicted for me, in an effort to try and scare me into acting like them. Take care of yourself, and do what you love.

@hytale.bsky.social Your new account flow is still not quite fixed, the links which were supposed to work for 24h don't work after only a few hours, and re-doing the flow and clicking re-send doesn't send another. Just a heads up! :)

When there's finally Linux support for a 4k HDMI passthru internal capture card that isn't a $900 Magewell, maybe I'll finally consider Linux as my daily driver O/S.

My first Metroid game was Metroid Prime, and I never really was into traditional metroidvanias until a friend bought me Timespinner and I played it in a randomizer. I've since played several metroidvanias, and today, I completed Super Metroid 100%. I get it now. Good game.

The GM Energy charging stations by EVgo have turned into my favorite charging network. Paired with Flying J/Pilot, it means we're always somewhere with predictable convenience and the stations are usually covered, which is very nice

I have already removed the old wire and install 6 gauge wire for the two hot wires and 10 gauge wire for the ground wire. The unit no longer overheats. Thanks, so-called professional electrician. Very cool.

Flapjack @flapjackretro.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

For the electrical layperson, 10 gauge wire is thinner than 6 gauge wire. Using a wire that is too thin is 1000% a fire hazard. If the EV supply equipment hadn't had an onboard sensor to know the unit/wires were getting too hot, then I very well might have had an electrical fire.

Flapjack @flapjackretro.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

My at-home EV supply equipment wouldn't run at full speed and was throwing an indicator of overheating. After a while I started to become suspicious so I took it apart and checked it. The electrician I hired used 10 gauge wire with a 60A 240V breaker. It calls for 6 gauge. Fuck me, I guess.

In Dallas yesterday visiting friends: a bewildered older gentleman was trying to pay for parking at the same time I was. Payment options were text-a-number or QR code; his phone refused to read the QR code, and he'd never sent a text before. He probably would've been stuck if I hadn't helped.
