This Rock-to-Swamp shift has to be the most satisfying thing I've ever seen in this game. #noita

Fixed our new popcorn maker. The original label must have fallen off, I suppose.

I'm not usually one for figures, but I saw this one while in Japan and had to get it. 👌

I know the algorithms tend to push these posts, and I'm truly sorry if you don't have the headspace for this. That said, I can't just not say anything about my puppy Koda, who left this world last week. I've never met a more pure and loving soul, and the world is a far dimmer place without him.

I'm very proud of this cake I decorated for my friend's birthday. Top skills on display here.

A sloppy-ass lemon cake with "Happy Birthday!" written across it in badly legible icing. Bananas and meat in the background. The cake is precariously close to the edge of the countertop.

I don't think of myself as a "collector", but the moment I saw this in a store I said the exact same thing lol.

The world would objectively be a better place if this is where Gen AI had settled:

Snapped this picture of a nearby star today. Tried this once before and couldn't find it in the telescope, so I'm pretty stoked I finally got it!

Not even kidding when I say that this graffiti has more meaning and depth than literally any AI art.

Have you picked up one of these recently? It could explain why everything around you is suddenly failing, if so.

This was honestly so much fun - essentially 24 tiny escape rooms. A few puzzles relied on British-isms that I didn't know, or phone numbers I couldn't call, but overall I'd still say it was 100% worth it. #Taskmaster #TMAdvent

The box shows Greg and Alex sitting in their chairs. Between them is text reading "Taskmaster", "The Advent Calendar", "24 Days. 24 Doors. 1 Taskmaster Christmas Game."
The corners of the box read: "As seen on Channel 4", "Includes exclusive content from Little Alex Horne", and "Time: 24 Days, Players: 1+".

Is it too late to post my Hallowe'en pumpkin? Gotta say, I'm overall pretty happy with how this turned out, considering I was 100% winging it. #GitS #LaughingMan

Left the house for the first time in too long and brought this thing home for next to nothing. The 768GB RAM is a bit of an upgrade from the 8GB in my current home "server".

A younger me would lose his mind to see that I got Melody A.M. on vinyl. Current me is also losing his mind. Such an incredible album! #vinyl #royksopp

A vinyl of Röyksopp's Melody A.M. album, held against a cloudy sky with trees in the bottom-right corner -- a similar scene to what is seen on the album cover itself.

Throwback to Mine Bombers, an incredibly fun 4-player DOS game. If you haven't played this, I highly recommend getting some friends around a keyboard and giving it a shot! It's almost like an "open-world" Bomberman.

Yep. This spicy lil fella gave me nightmares for weeks.

My copy of the Obojima source book just arrived! The production quality on this book is insane, the art is incredible, and it's surprisingly thick, too. You can really feel the passion that went into creating this book. I absolutely can't wait to dive in! #obojima #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e

The source book for Obojima: Tales From The Tall Grass, held up against a backdrop of figurines and a plant on a shelf, and a poster of Japanese kanji.

Started today off with early morning skygazing. Too much humidity to get a good image of Saturn, but our moon was out in full force! 🌖 #moon #astrophotography #seestar #s50

Yep - AI is a valid source of truth, can definitely confirm. 👍

A Google search for "are spider plants really spiders?", with an AI overview stating "Yes, spider plants are indeed spiders. They are not plants at all, but rather a type of arachnid that has evolved to resemble foliage for camouflage. The "plantlets" that dangle from their stems are actually baby spiders, and the long, trailing stems are their legs. They spin webs of silk and catch..."

Throwback to something I made a long while ago - a pipecleaner diorama of a cozy little cabin in the woods.

Good news! I just checked, and the moon's still up there in orbit -- looking good as ever. #astrophotography #seestar #moon

Unfortunately, Duolingo tracks your highest streak, and if I continue I won't have another nice, even number for quite a long time. Looks like it's time to hang up my hat.

Not typically a collector, but The Outer Wilds was so good I had to get the vinyls... and then also a record player. Seriously -- go play this game.
