I'm dyslexic as hell so I feel extra accomplished for not only finishing a book but doing so in one sitting. A Short Stay in Hell is a super fascinating read! Lots of Severance and Twilight Zone vibes.

You either die a smart fella, or live long enough to see yourself become the fart smella.

My previous employer just posted a video of mine a whole two months after giving me the boot. It was a video they said had a lot of errors and used as cause to get rid of me, yet now it's good enough to post with no edits?

Nick | Mug & Play @mugandplay.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

It's probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but one of my motivators for my YouTube channel is to outperform my old employer's channel. I need them to see the value they lost in letting me go. Anyway, if you haven't subbed yet, now's a good time! www.youtube.com/c/MugAndPlay

My new job has me handling high value graded pokemon cards all day and it's making me want to start collecting again.

"You sure do panic a lot for somebody that figures it out every single time." This insightful yet backhanded phrase has been simultaneously calling me out and making me feel a little better every day since I heard it.

It's been a bit of a shit day but at least I got a picture of these two being unusually close, so that's good at least.

Car won't start after I replaced the battery, and i start my new job on Wednesday. If you hear one long continuous twelve hour scream (irrespective of where you are), you can ignore it; that's just me.

Me when I see back to school supplies in stores in July: Ew, too soon. It's still two months away. Me when I see Halloween stuff in stores in July: About damn time! It's only three months away!

Lindsey Graham died? That's not very pro-life of him.

Friendly reminder that if purchasing doesn't equal ownership, then pirating doesn't equal theft. Save your money for indie devs.

I'm less than an hour into the new Star Fox and the way Fox and Falco talk to each other already has me like "Jeez, just fuck already. Get it out of your system so we can continue saving the galaxy."

Pulled a Sylveon from an Eevee evolutions blind box! I love Sylveon because they know how to obliterate dragon types AND transphobes!

Finally saw the finale to Amazing Digital Circus. Definitely enjoyed it! Very glad that all of my theories about how it would end were all wrong.

Just got done watching the Nintendo Direct. If I had a nickel for every time I saw a game with swords, magic, and an anime aesthetic, I'd have a shitload of nickels.

I hooked up my synthesizer! I took this pre-loaded drum loop and messed with the tempo and some other settings and was able to pitch bend it while playing. I'm no Trent Reznor but I think it sounds neat!

The first moments where you're like "I'm supposed to be at work right now" are strange. I feel like one of those animals that gets released into the wild, sees the vast expanse of freedom and just kinda looks around, unsure of what to do.

WELP they decided to just lay me off today. The remaining members of the team were understandably furious at management and gave me hugs, which helped. Thankfully I've got some cash saved up while I job hunt (since I was saving up to quit), so I'm not worried. I guess my holiday weekend starts now.

Next Friday I have a meeting to see if I'm laid off or not in the morning and a job interview in the afternoon. The universe works in mysterious ways.

The Trolley Solution was easily one of my favorite indie games of last year and they made a visual novel out of one of the levels where you fall in love with a trolley! #trolleysolution youtube.com/shorts/Xan83...
