I was checking out my journaling app yesterday and found out I've been using Linux for a year. Man, time flies. But I haven't regretted it at all! I'm even more nerdy about it now than when I started.

I keep thinking about an AI video my mom sent me a while ago about nostalgic Christmas things from years ago when the world wasn't as technologically advanced (i.e. when I was a kid). My grand distaste for AI video aside, it did get me thinking:

Finally finished reading this book and just. Wow. This was such a good read. Fantastic pacing, really great characters, and a story that just would not let go of me. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!

A book titled "Five Broken Blades" by Mai Corland is displayed prominently with a mild glare on the plastic coating.

Really considering joining the chorus of people who switched to Linux last year and and made videos about. I wouldn't make a long video, just something to share the little things that I REALLY love that Linux does better than Windows. Been using Nobara since October and I haven't regretted it.

Some of my friends will send me videos and reels that are basically nostalgia bait pining for the lost era of the 90's and such. I really feel for them because I miss parts of it too. But honestly, it kind of hurts me when people send that stuff to me. We're so dissatisfied with now that we--

I was initially just asked to read news segment for this episode. One of the things @faulerro.bsky.social told me he wanted to do was designs for a fake Hanna-Barbera type Sonic cartoon using the original concept ideas. Needless to say, due to my fondness of HB stuff, I was inspired to do it first.

For those who listened to the newest THIAG already, here's the theme song I made for the fake cartoon "Sonic and the Karma Collectors", where the unused band from Sonic 1 concept art solve mysteries. (Art by @aedouble.bsky.social!)

You know, I often find the song "Experimental Film" by @tmbg.bsky.social helps cure brain rot. Good reporting.

Screenshot of an article from the Hollywood reporter. Purportedly claiming the antidote to brain rot.

Just throwing this out there: A third party vote wouldn't be a "waste" if more people voted third party. Our two major parties have failed us over and over. We should explore other options while we still can. And if you vote 3rd party, good. Make your voice and distaste of things known.

This movie was incredible. And I really mean that. I'm still really emotional after watching it. It's beautiful, it's heart-tugging. I'm just blown away. Please go see this.

I remember a couple of years ago, people printed out stickers of Biden pointing at gas prices saying, "I did that." Where are the stickers of Trump doing the exact same thing? Hypocrisy and double-standards are nothing new, but I just hate how people my age or twice my age can be so childish.

Even when the people in the world are awful, I'm thankful that the world itself can be beautiful enough to remind us that there is still goodness to see if you try to look for it.

My wife has been playing Wind Waker HD and it just makes me really want/hope for the next mainline Zelda game to bring back music as a core mechanic and story element. I miss it.

My wife and I beat Haven by @thegamebakers.com last week and wow. That game was so good. It was so special to be able to play that together with the woman I love. We saw SO MUCH of ourselves in Yu and Kay. And we're already brainstorming stories for a sequel. Y'all, go play the game. For real

As we approach our 100th episode, I'm reminded of the fact that I never do much to promote our Sonic podcast, The Hill Is Always Greener, found at @sonicf.bsky.social. I guess this accomplishes that? Actually I'm not really sure. I think I got distracted halfway through.

I've had a really up and down day today. I want to shout out the app "Daylio". It really helps to be able to journal about the day. Also gonna shout out the song "Nova" by Falling Up because it's helping me get into a good mental space before bed.

This is a wild idea/speculation. I think an amazing, open source innovation that could happen this year would be new compatibility layers in PC gaming where old GPUs could easily play new games. I have NO idea how that would happen, but I believe it could happen.

I've been making yearly seasonal Playlists on my music listening apps ever since 2012 and it's such a gift my old self gives to my current self every year. Some of the music I was listening to back then still hits in all the right ways. Currently listening to "Fuzzy Blue Lights" by #OwlCity.
