cloud’s identity crisis 🐥 #ff7rebirth
FF7 comic
Aerith and Tifa holding shopping bags, chatting “that was so fun!” “What a great day”
Cloud, slightly upset: “did you guys go shopping without me?”
Tifa, befuddled: “what are you talking about? You were the the whole-“
Tifa: “time…”
Tifa and Aerith look over to realize they went shopping with a Chocobo

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

Painted my nails for fun. Surprised I hadn't bothered trying this until my thirties (I've had painted nails before as a kid, but that was my older sister amusing herself). Did the right hand tonight and it's much messier than the left. Fun seeing the color change under the light, though.
Photo of me holding up the bottom of my left hand, fingers curled inwards to show my nails. My nails are painted with Root of All Evil nail polish by mooncat, a sparkly purple iridescent lacquer with cyan and turquoise highlights.

New policy on ordering anything: if DHL is the only shipping option, the thing isn't getting ordered. They're the least reliable and worst shipping company I've ever used, and they finally lost an expensive enough package that there's no chance I'd ever use them again.

Been working on setting up a personal Forgejo server just because I don't like GitHub holding everything and the smaller forges are cool but I worry about losing things because they're smaller. (I do throw money at a few because I want them to keep going.) Forgejo's CI has been especially nice.

A drawing of a Common bronzewing on the Hobonichi techo page (Japanese edition) for August 4, 2026. The bird is shown from behind, with its small head looking back, and is brightly rendered showing off its array of colored feathers, particularly the green and purple feathers on the wings. A light purple watercolor swirl appears behind the bird to anchor it to the page. “Common bronzewing” is lettered in the bottom right corner.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, as a child. Off panel, someone says to her, “Enjoy your youth!”
The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”

moon bnuuys from what started as a joke setting
An infographic providing information about the Selenites, a race of anthropomorphic lagomorphs living on the Moon. On the left is a Selenite headhunter, clad in a silken skinsuit shot through with various tubes, ceramic body armor, and a cloak, wielding a rifle. Beside the headhunter is an ethereal creature, the headhunter's dream-familiar. The infographic provides schematics of the rifle, a smaller pistol, and two knives. Much of their artifacts are composed of ceramics and silk fiber, with minimal metallurgy. The text on the bottom notes their resilience to raw lunar conditions without a spacesuit, and their ability to manipulate the space around them via "dream-cresting."

Somehow over the course of my time programming, I went from Perl to BlitzBasic to C to C++ to Go to Rust, with a bunch of other languages in between that didn't have quite the same stickiness. Now I'm back at Perl somehow. This timeline is strange.

It's hard to ignore all the Nextfest demos using AI cover art, nevermind that they're usually very obvious (they at least disclose it). They'd be infinitely more charming if they had done anything else. Considering the cover art is the first thing someone sees, it's really the worst foot forward.
