mike @schneider.coffee · 29/09/2026the last showing of Odyssey in imax 70mm tomorrow evening vs friday evening's imax showing of Digger 021
mike @schneider.coffee · 24/09/2026two weeks until puzzle day. i have defeated the puzzle man (and his many talented colleagues) twice before and i will do it again 020
mike @schneider.coffee · 28/08/2026that beer didn't exist until you grabbed it dude. i saw that. i'm watching you like a hawk, get your act together 000
mike @schneider.coffee · 11/08/2026do you want to hear something really annoying. people on discord servers about coffee say yeet a lot because its what they call it when you intentionally brew an espresso really fast. and that is not even their most annoying word for making espresso fast 220
mike @schneider.coffee · 07/08/2026the list of former band members of swiss folk metal band Eluveitie is really something else. yeah for two years we had some lady on the Crumhorn but she left and we couldn't find anyone else who even knew what a crumhorn was 052
mike @schneider.coffee · 21/07/2026the guy next to me showed me Rush memes on his phone and then he showed me a pic of when he dressed up as the Test for Echo album cover for Halloween decades ago 130
mike @schneider.coffee · 21/07/2026my seat is so far back i have become intimately aware of the speed of sound but i am having a blast anyway 100
mike @schneider.coffee · 20/07/2026i was really impressed by Raqib Shaw - Paradise Lost on display at the Art Institute Chicago. impossible to capture digitally, you have to see it in person. it feels like the painting is jumping off the wall at you www.artic.edu/exhibitions/... 021
mike @schneider.coffee · 07/07/2026the way rush fans have been embracing touring drummer anika nilles, rather than seeing her as a threat to neil peart's legacy or whatever, is really heartening to me 000
mike @schneider.coffee · 19/06/2026i can't believe they're giving us even more of this demo tomorrow. i would be thrilled if i bought a $15 puzzle game on steam that was just this demo 120
mike @schneider.coffee · 16/06/2026i'm not even done yet but i'm too tired to keep progressing. this is the biggest demo i've ever played, by a huge margin. it rules honestly 121
mike @schneider.coffee · 08/06/2026it’s chipwich season. to participate in chipwich season, simply go to the store and buy a chipwich or a box of them. 040
mike @schneider.coffee · 30/04/2026finding myself on exactly the same page as this art critic about the current exhibition at the Guggenheim hyperallergic.com/an-overfille... 010
mike @schneider.coffee · 29/04/2026Richard Berger - “My Couch” (1976; on display at the Guggenheim) i was especially hypnotized by the way the beads subtly sway with the natural air currents of the museum, so I didn’t think a picture did the work justice 020
mike @schneider.coffee · 29/04/2026genuinely more meaning imparted into this set of light strings than a lot of art i’ve seen. i think The Whitney’s current installation of it with a view of the Hudson River and Jersey city is especially apt 010
mike @schneider.coffee · 28/04/2026i’m flying back to the US today. here is a picture of airplanes, as a visual aid for the concept of me being on one 020
mike @schneider.coffee · 27/04/2026here is my music video about men who eat burgers “for work.” thank you 1205
mike @schneider.coffee · 24/04/2026at this mall in hong kong i saw a store i heard about on a podcast and stopped in to see if i could find a candy i heard about on a podcast @whatsallthispod.bsky.social 190
mike @schneider.coffee · 24/04/2026everybody wants to ape teamLab’s shit and nobody else even comes close to having the juice 000
mike @schneider.coffee · 22/04/2026I sat for the full 40 minutes of this three-channel film essay by Liu Chuang, “Bitcoin Mining and Field Recordings of Ethnic Minorities.” I rarely do that in an art museum but it really grabbed me. Incredibly beautiful work 130
mike @schneider.coffee · 22/04/2026something I love about going to art museums is seeing a work I’ve never seen before and saying, wait—i know this from somewhere. these three photos are by Edward Burtynsky, who took the famous Breezewood, PA photo for his “Oil” series 160
![So we’ve got this thing here. [I point at the prize in the middle of the table. It’s a red object shaped roughly like a stereotypical Kong dog toy, and it’s being held in place with a big blue clamp.] You’re not going to tell me what the name of this thing is, are you?
Everyone, at once: Oh, no.
Disseldorp: You know what this thing is, it’s whatever you call it. That’s the name of it.
Do you have a name that you all call it though? Even if you won’t tell me what it is.
Disseldorp: Yeah, we call it something, but it’s really unimportant what we call it. And we shouldn’t have any more weight than any other group.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mnpu6etn6exskixlsogw7uci/bafkreighnhopij3mq7cy2iy7xdgc7oha54553ivqoaoergstqcexfcxheq)
![Chris Trottier (gameplay designer): I needed to have a stress level that was appropriate. [...] Will, once a train is runaway, he'll just kind of shrug and be like, I'm sure it'll be fine. [But] that was not a good fit for my life at that time, so I did not see the last year of Spore.
Jenna Chalmers (gameplay designer): Will got distracted, as he usually does near the end of a project in general, let alone his specific distractions for this project. He is more new idea and big vision. So once you're down in the weeds, tightening all the little nuts and bolts, that's not the part that's interesting to him.
Will Wright (chief designer): I got a divorce. I was distracted by that, for sure.
Guillaume Pierre (gameplay producer): Will disappeared for the last year of the game. […] He got a new girlfriend, and he would spend more time with his new girlfriend than time in the office. He would come in once every few weeks and play the game a little bit, and then disappear again.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mnpu6etn6exskixlsogw7uci/bafkreialx6brcygmmswi4plmyoe5pgfao3jjtrw7lxlv4u3i3fbngnpa4q)
