To all my friends, enemies, and people I don't even remember - the latest major update to Windows 11 just came out. So if you wonder why the borkage is extra borked*, well, now you know. * I'm assuming borkage, because, well, [broadly gestures at everything at Microsoft has done lately].

Watched "From a whisper to a scream", a 1980s horror anthology movie. Vincent Price was the narrator, and that's the only good thing. Out of 4 segments only 1 was decent, 1 was okay at best, and the other 2 gory/nasty for the sake of being gory and nasty. Verdict: watch something else instead.

Couldn't sleep, so movie time it was. Mortal kombat II was okay, lifted above mediocrity by Karl Urban. Sadly the rest was a bit forgettable imho. Coyote vs ACME, glad this ended up being released in the end, a fun movie and even a smidge heartwarming. 1/2

It's amazing how time and distance works. France to the Netherlands? 11 hours. The Netherlands to France? Not even half an hour.

Tracking information from Amazon that can't be right. And the involvement of Dragonfly does not bode well.

I updated my tablet to the latest version of the OS, and lo and behold, decided to see if the LEGO apps would work, and happy to report to do. Now to update the firmware of 2 Peaches, 2 Luigis, and 3 Marios.

My car passed its MOT. It wasn't due a MOT until september next year. But my car passed its MOT.

So my GP was to call me today in order to get a referral to a mental health professional. Any guesses as to what happened? FML.

So that's two LEGO sets on hold because of missing pieces. One set should have 14 pieces of 6528998, but so far one is missing. And I mean so far. Why? Because the other set should have 2 pieces of 6514455, and there are exactly zero.

If you want to argue with me on BlueSky *and* have a youtube channel where you post 40+ minute video essays on "why this piece of media is bad" I'll just block you.

Watched "True grit" (the Coen brothers one), and except for the somewhat sappy ending I thoroughly enjoyed it. Having said that, Hailee Steinfeld should have had higher billing than Josh Brolin. Both in the credits and on the packaging.

A bit of cult cinema, a light sprinkling of Vincent, and some creatures universally accepted as being monstrous.

Can barely sleep, tinnitus ever more present, shoulder acting up again, need to see a dentist but no way to get an appointment. Mental health about as good as you'd expect. Need to get out, can't bring myself to doing so. FML.

No matter how much you hate the Dutch postal service, you're not hating it enough. Paying VAT and custom duties is one thing I'll begrudgingly do, but €10 in handling fees? Fuck that. FUCK THAT.

This is entirely true. I for one remember pirating Duke Nukem Forever back in 2007.

Just saw somebody on Instagram describe themselves as an "AI creator". That's not how words work mate.

I'm bitter. I'm twisted. But at least my sister didn't bonk James Joyce. (Yes, I *am* listening to the mighty Therapy? However did you guess?)

I've worked with anything from home use to business to professional grade large volume/format printers, and they're all shit in their own distinct way.

So there's a new Nanowar of Steel song, and it's suitably cursed. Something @bhaalspawn.bsky.social and @guycyborg.bsky.social would probably appreciate, although not necessarily for the same reasons: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsfX...

It's taken several years, but I finally have all my ducks in a row.

And in case you're wondering, I will not apologise for the pun.

Can we bring having the spines of physical media combining to form an image? Like the enhanced CDs of Iron Maiden's discography forming Eddie? And James Bond DVDs forming the 007 gun logo? kthxbye
