Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 20/06/2025I realize it's been a few months since I checked in over here, so what's up Bluesky? 210
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 01/04/2025It's been a bit since I've checked in over here. Mostly, I've been waiting for private / friends only posts. Until then... it's been difficult to figure out exactly what to share here. Maybe soon, though? 010
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 10/02/2025It's a small mercy, but I am looking forward to the new episodes of Cobra Kai and Yellowjackets this week. 040

Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 02/02/2025In movies, just to keep it light, I rather enjoyed Zoe Kravitz’s Blink Twice. I think we’re going to have another movie night tonight and watch Heretic. Some nights, the comfort of home is strong. 030
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Well that's one more band for me to shelve for being MAGA-aligned. See ya later, Seraphim Shock (not that you had that many bangers either way). 110
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 29/01/2025I did an initial inquiry into taking vacation time this year, which felt good. Of course, I don't know when or where, and my boss similarly feels that rug could be pulled out from under us making travel plain difficult... but hey, gears in motion? 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Mr.Kitty dropping select US tour dates is certainly something 320
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Looks like I have a mountain of busy work to do. The troubles of maintaining a site with a slew of whitehouse(dot)gov links, when it appears almost everything back to at least 2019 has been deleted over there. 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 23/01/2025On a positive note, it looks like I don't have to worry about a return to office. Finding this out over a Balkan buffet while chatting about Blood Incantation and Alcest with a coworker was just icing on that cake. 040
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I wonder if our special local promoter is still fawning over the G*thsicles and plotting an attempt to book them around here. I'm sure I know the answer, though. 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Two things I still want here (and probably everyone else does, too) - privacy settings and the ability to edit your posts. C'mon Bluesky... make it happen this season... 040
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 23/01/2025We wrapped up watching 1899 last night - what a ride, and how annoy it got cancelled after one season. I hope the creators are working on something new... maybe I should Google that today. 040
Reposted by Vlad M.I Die: You Die @idieyoudie.bsky.social · 23/01/2025TicketBastard metadata indicating that NIN tickets are likely to range from ~$45 to $180 US. Also, looks like most nights will have a 2nd stage mid-floor. Pulled from Reddit, coming to us via @timseppala.bsky.social & @tricil.bsky.social. 1203
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Maybe it's the cold, but my mind keeps going back to a quote from The Thing: “Nobody trusts anybody now… and we’re all very tired.” 050
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Having our heat out today when it's 15 degree out is... not fun. Hooray for space heaters to at least help keep this office in the 50s. 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 22/01/2025It will probably be like $500 / ticket, but fingers crossed it's less than that. 030
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I know there was a whole "let's leave Meta for a week" meme going around. I didn't broadcast my participation, but it's been (considering everything going on) a rather peaceful switch. I'm sure I'll return soon enough, but it feel strangely peaceful outside that rage box. 280
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I really can't manage many salient words here today, but there's moments I wish for a cryogenic chamber to suddenly appear and put me on snooze for the next four years. 040
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I guess after TikTok, it’ll be interesting to see if TenCent is actually next. What a weekend. 100
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Apparently Bluesky's looking into an Instagram replacement called Flashes. I'll have to look more into it when not on my work PC....avclub.comNew Bluesky app could work as an Instagram surrogate, tooNew Bluesky app could work as an Instagram surrogate, too 050
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Ohhhh - so that movie about the singing monkey is the Robbie Williams movie and not a planet of the apes spinoff. Now I know! 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 14/01/2025I'm still way too amused at the possible TikTok ban pushing a large portion of their audience to Redbook. 050
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 14/01/2025It's nice to see a steady climb in a follower count around here. Only a few weeks in, and I've got about 10% of what I got going on with Facebook. 050
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 10/01/2025With the possible ban coming up, I've gone ahead and reinstalled TikTok. Will I use it? Who knows, but at least I have a copy in case the app's yoinked from the app store. 010
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 10/01/2025I know it's too much to ask, but it'd be nice if certain local promoters would stop trying to court certain MAGA bands to come to the area. 140
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I swear the last few months' talk about egg prices has really fallen on deaf ears here with my severe egg allergy. 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Last night, we finally started watching DARK, after hearing how good it is for years now. Three episodes in, and I'm feeling invested. 140
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 08/01/2025It'd be nice if this place had some sort of "Events" feature like FB. I think that ability and messenger are still my big draws over there. If one exists... let me know? Still, in the interim, I'll maintain that account and veer away from any sort of 'public post', but we'll see how it goes. 080
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 08/01/2025After playing around 15 hours of Mass Effect: Andromeda, I find myself enjoying it more than ME1. Is it still janky in parts? A little, but no more than most open world RPGs. Halfway tempted to play the 2 and 3 remasters now, if they're on par with this one. 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Seems Zucks intends on turning Facebook into something more like X. Well hey, at least there's this platform to fall back on for my random dumb thoughts... 250
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Every once in a while I recall the time Kele-De had to explain to one of her old coworkers that yes, Europe does indeed have electricity like the USA. 150
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 13/12/2024It's starting to feel like Bluesky's the place to discuss gaming these days. Anyway, Witcher 4, Onimusha, the new Naughty Dog game and the multiplayer Elden Ring sequel all look fantastic. I do get the feeling I'll need a PC upgrade to run half of them, though. 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 11/12/2024It's pretty cool to hear my manager exclaim that they wished I started six months ago because I'm such an asset to the company. I guess my SEO nerdery is paying off. 050
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I wonder how popular "Deny Defend Depose" merch will be this holiday season 120
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 05/12/2024I see the local scene edge lord is still big mad at me. Real shame; I hope your friends on X can lift your spirits. 130
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Another fun project I worked on with Suicide Commando. Johan's a super nice guy, and always a pleasure to work with on these things. 060
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I hope Love Under Will produce something new soon. This single remains a floor filler, but in the words of A. Eldritch, "I want more!"youtube.comRomancing StigmataYouTube video by Love Under Will - Topic 020
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Nothing quite like being monologued to about Musk and "DEI games" from a catboy on the least-cis server in Final Fantasy 14. A highlight from the weekend, indeed. 140
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 02/12/2024The trouble with the season for freelance design projects is that it's always a bit slow around now. Part of me thinks I should use this time to upload some designs that went nowhere to Redbubble for funsies, but we'll see. THAT SAID, if anyone needs album / merch design work, I'm sorta available. 000
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I see we’ve reached the stage where I get dragged for using AI in something that had zero AI involved. Excellent. 000
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I know some are not fans of e-scooters , but I like the fact that we only have to fill the car up with gas maybe once every two months now. 010
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Who knows it'll be viable for us, but I'm pretty jazzed a new airport opened in Nuuk, Greenland. We've wanted to visit there for years, and Iceland's even got stopover packages going for 2025, too. 050
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Slightly bummed that this is no longer a four day holiday weekend, since I gotta be "in the office" Friday. 110
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 25/11/2024For a scene that I keep hearing is dying online, I'm certainly getting paid more to spin now to larger crowds than I have in like 20 years. 080
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I’ve been craving the vegan shawarma from this place in town for MONTHS and just discovered they opened a branch right off our neighborhood bike path. Well that is a quick dirt cheap lunch settled for forever. 030
Vlad M. @kallistidesign.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I see a new Manson album is out - thanks FB. No, I'm not DJing it, and I hope no one requests it. 430
