Managed to improve an issue with a script at work that reduced the execution time from 50-60 minutes to less than 2 minutes. A whopping 97% reduction! Guess whoever wrote this didn't anticipate the multiplicative nature of reading hundreds of lines in a file per file being validated.

I wanted to make a funny command for a streamer I mod for, so I spun up a Java spring boot app and deployed it to the Google cloud. The app contains logic for a !roulette command, but the odds are rigged: twitch chatters have a 1% fail rate while youtube chatters have a 90%. Fail = 10 min timeout

At a Poppy concert and a lady noticed my iron mouse shirt. The only indication it is an ironmouse shirt is the little mouse poking out of my shirt pocket. Pog.

Went to a party at 3 p.m. and took a 3 hour nap on the couch. I will never emotionally recover from this.

Buddy told the gang he doesn't know why he got a 7-day suspension in League of Legends. We checked his match history, and he went 25 deaths in a 35-minute ranked game and 21 deaths in a 28-minute ranked match. The group chat pulled up the VOD, and the voice chat is exploding in emotion.

Solo night dire marsh has been a blast. It's still early season so the average person is rocking a green which gets one tapped by a rail gun. I have upset a many runners over placing a bolt into their cranium while they are locked into the activating network tower animation.

Marathon really has its hooks into me. If the PvP and gunplay weren't 💯, I would have probably bounced before reaching triple-digit hours. But maaaaan gimme a way to learn the Cry Archive map without having to burn gear 😭😭😭😭

Got a random mini side-quest from dad. He works with someone who beat him at a words-per-minute test, and he asked if I could race him. Suffice to say I smoked 'em and restored my dad's honor 🫡

100% All Achievements xkcd.com/3148/
Comic. PERSON 1 to person with white hat: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I’m up to the 400-level courses in most departments. But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous! [caption] My university is making it really hard to finish a 100% all achievements speedrun.

Shen Comix @shenanigansen.bsky.social · 23/09/2025
Panel 1: Shen waving to his back-right at some teenagers leaning and sitting against a wall and saying "Hey!!" as he walks by. One of the teens, with curly hair but straight bangs, is standing up, while another, with a white tank top and light blonde hair, is sitting down. The standing up one responds "Sup Unc!"

Panel 2: Shadows emerge from the word "UNC" as it resonates in Shen's mind. He looks to the side, concerned, with his brows somewhat furrowed.

Panel 3: Shen looks forward and attempts to force a smile, but he is sweating and his brows are now very furrowed. His face is lit dramatically from one side. "I'm not an 'unc'" he thinks. "I'm 33 ... That's not unc territory... Teto's in her 30s"

Panel 4: Panicked, Shen jumps to his bathroom mirror when he gets home and looks at it. Looking back is basically Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a middle aged hairy man with a moustache who wears a gold chain.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 29/06/2025
An immensely obscure tiny detail in Super Mario Sunshine is that Strollin' Stus have heightened awareness of Mario if he has no water left. Pumping FLUDD with no water makes them notice Mario from much further away. This took players 22 years after the game's release to discover.

Age has given me a better appreciation for classics such as Weird Al's White & Nerdy. Land ownership and back-alley deals for the Star Wars: Holiday Special were goals to aspire to.

Bluesky's userbase tilts pretty far towards liberals (gonna count progs as libs, but apologetically and with all due respec). But to everyone calling this place an outlier / echo chamber let me give you some admittedly unscientific anecdata:

I beat The Hundred Line. Good-ass game. Story and characters kept me enthralled even if the combat was serviceable (doesn't take long to one-turn waves when your items give you way more action economy than needed).
