SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Argh, lost 5 days of notes because obsidian-git decided to break authentication on desktop and in my idiotic fumbling to fix it I apparently somehow pulled to iOS without committing changes first. Doubt any of it was important, but I'll probably never know because I have the memory of a goldfish. 020

SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Something that still pops up in my head after watching Superman a couple months ago is James Gunn made Clark a breakfast-for-dinner kind of guy, which is wholesome af and fits well with this incarnation of Clark (Granted I say this as a breakfast-for-dinner kind of person, myself) 000
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Spent the first half of my night running chkdsk on my old desktop because Rescuezilla refuses to back up one of the drives past 94.21%, and spent the second half of my night trying to recover my iPhone because the 26.0.1 update hung up on literally the last pixel of the update bar. Good times. 000
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Anxiously awaiting the Tech Pod episode in a year or two where @bradshoemaker.bsky.social excitedly explains to @willsmith.fun how some guy made an AOL dial-in server and put it on GitHub (I'm only 1/4 joking; I really want to hear this, I love those episodes) 020

SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Made it all the way to the office before realizing I forgot to drip my pipes last night and check for leaks this morning 🤦 Worst part is I spent way too much time outside last night fiddling with a faucet cover and never even thought about inside. 110
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 04/02/2025The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster OSTs are on Steam right now (on sale!), and like a sucker I got all of them but really only wanted the orchestral recording of FF6. I meant to play some Diablo 4 tonight, but instead I wound up doomscrolling here and listening to the finale to FF6. 110
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I will say, if you have any desire to play an emulation handheld away from wifi, don't ever dabble with retroachievements; you'll find yourself second guessing whether you *really* want to play Pokemon Pinball on the off-chance you do something mid-session that would otherwise pop an achievement. 020
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Finished For the Frog the Bell Tolls last night (after playing it off and on for... a *really* long time) and it's a lot of fun and fairly short. The gameplay is so much different than what I'd expect from Nintendo, even with the limitations of the Game Boy. retroachievements.org/game/5045retroachievements.orgKaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru | For the Frog the Bell Tolls (Game Boy)There are 79 achievements worth 506 points.

Reposted by SkadusXThe Editorial Board @editorialboard.bsky.social · 12/12/20241. I was on Stephen Robinson’s podcast when I blurted out a personal truth. I have defended the Democrats for years, but since Donald Trump’s victory, I haven’t been in the mood. In fact, I find myself open to arguments I had not been open to. 1314340

SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Oh god damn it I just saw a YouTube thumbnail that abbreviated the "Department of Government Efficiency" as DOGE and of fucking *course* Elon weaseled himself into an advisory role to call it that 140

SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 04/03/2024Regardless of questionably-shaped popcorn buckets, the popcorn served for Dune should be served with Slap Ya Mama on it. Tony Chachere’s at a bare minimum. 000
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 01/03/2024Every 6 months to two years I get the idea in my head that ROM databases should be a simple and easy way to catalogue my stuff and won’t drive me absolutely insane and keep me up until 1am, and I am always proven wrong. 000
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 22/02/2024Trying to think of a tag for my note program for… I guess reminding me of positive things about me in general.

SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 22/02/2024Either Epic needs to hurry up and have the zombified corpse of Harmonix create a Rock Band game with vocals on PC (Steam Deck compatible), or Microsoft needs to make a portable Xbox so I can play Rock Band karaoke with people at get-togethers. 000
SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 14/02/2024I feel like I spend more time tinkering with retro games than actually playing them sometimes. Which is okay, because I feel like I learn a little bit every time, and it’s fun to see what new stuff has come out to beef up older games. 100

SkadusX @skadusx.bsky.social · 07/02/2024It would be kinda neat if the invite codes bypassed the phone number requirement that Bluesky has now after opening up, since I’ve been seeing complaints here and there (mostly in an arstechnica thread) about it. 030
