I drove some friends up to Snoqualmie and we did #twinpeaks things. Sign was missing, that was a bummer. Coffee was damn fine though

If you are in PDX, tracking down the Wildwood birds is a great walking activity

All software makes me angry now Slack: constantly has ways of telling me I have new reactions, replies, threads, etc... in multiple locations. I hate this. Its too much. Okta: I auth against Okta about 20 times a day. It's all for the same realm. This is where can honest to god say I miss Kerberos

Playing with netgraph for the first time on my primary interface is always a wise idea. I'm glad my home server has ipmi and I didn't have to get up at all.

Why is no one talking about Look Outside?! It has to be the best turn-based survival horror game out there. I think it is one of the only games that really gets Lovecraftian horror. The music and atmosphere 10/10, and I just KNOW its a good idea to push my bedroom plant closer to the window

After decades of not playing gin rummy, my wife and I decided to bring cards with us to pine street market and play gin rummy with drinks and food. I forgot a lot of the rules so this all tracks

I hastily ran up to @samlakewrites.bsky.social at the game awards and could not be happier. It's hard to express in a few seconds how impactful someones work has been to you. From Max Payne to Control and Alan Wake. Jesus even the Final Reality benchmark I used to run after each windows reinstall

I'm at LAX ready to go home to PDX and I'm so happy to see @sgj.bsky.social book on display. Truly a must read in my opinion

I had a voodoo, a voodoo banshee and a voodoo 3000. I remember playing Thief on a voodoo and it being substantially better than my nvidia tnt2

Thanks to @lairdbarron.bsky.social recommendation on patreon, I read @paultremblay.bsky.social Another this week. Super fantastic, highly recommend. I don't have a ton of friends so maybe Morel can hang with me for the week

Seriously, who is eating all of the Mediterranean crunch salads at Safeway? I snagged one this week. Is it scalpers?

I've often thought about buying an item on my steam wishlist, just so I'll stop getting notified about it. One day Fort Solis.

I'm a horror nerd. I read and watch horror. Over decades I've read a handful of Vampire/Vampire adjacent novels @sgj.bsky.social The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is one of the best Vampire novels I have read along with @buehlmeister.bsky.social The Lesser Dead This has to be my favorite novel of the year

Normally I either ignore my doorbell or politely but firmly say "I don't mean to waste your time the answer is no" Tonight while I was in the garage, some kids were selling homemade bracelets. Guess who is a proud owner or two bracelets!

@joshmalerman.bsky.social 's Incidents Around the House was pretty great! Nice and short, really great spooky moments and a good amount of sage like advice in these long exposition dumps to get a small child to understand the complexities of being a human

That used to be my train stop when I worked in downtown. It's pretty bad, and has been for a while. I would avoid that area in general.

Something happened on my home server (which has 128GB RAM) Honestly it was probably the minecraft server I have running in a jail and not in k8s with some quotas Thank goodness I have IPMI, I was able to see the death knell in my browser; out of swap space

A local food cart has an AI generated banner. I immediately thought something was off and started looking closer. The fingers on the pretzel killed me

I've worked for Blizzard for over three years now and I finally got to visit the main campus. I also awkwardly ran into @jesawyer.bsky.social and the poor guy had no idea I have a parasocial relationship with him and we've been best friends for months now. Thanks for being kind Josh!

Every time I open LinkedIn I regret it Let me vent because I saw another psychopathic post You don't need to wake up at 4am to hit the gym and be successful. While my success is truly mid class, I hit the gym at 6pm daily and don't fucking wake up at 4am. You're not a failure for being a night owl

I'm really bummed about Bob's Red Mill store closing down. It was a great place to get breakfast or lunch and snag the best steel cut oats you can handle. RIP Bob
