Gods the Nintendo Switch 2 looks so shit and boring. At a time when people are bemoaning the loss of colour, Nintendo just straight up made the most utilitarian, soulless looking thing they could. Give me colour and whimsy.

I am struggling. I have a tiny desk so decided to retire my old Altec Lansing speakers. I’ve had them since… idk, 2000ish? Were these my first speakers? Maybe? I feel weird without them on my desk. But also more space. idk. I might reinstate them. Thank you for reading this very interesting tweet :|

Still massively enjoying being back on World of Warcraft/WoW. The new guild, The Gay Agenda, is an awesome bunch of people. They’ve been happy to offer advice (anxious af about tanking and doing mythic stuff), help with achievements and just be fun to be involved with. Midnight is a brilliant…

Got Linux Mint running (it’s very user friendly) and got Battle net installed via steam because @blizzard.com / @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com don’t care about their users enough to make a Linux installer. All good. Only I don’t have the 140gb free that I need for WoW so I guess it’s WoW classic…

I managed to find the book I was after for less so I now have two Point Horrors to relive! I can’t express how much I loved these as a kid.
Two Point Horror Books, The Babysiyter III, and Beach House, both by R L Stine.

Babysitter had a front cover showing an open door with a shadow on it, looking into a room with a Moses basket.

Beach house shows a weird swirly cover of a wave merging into the sky. There is a beach house just visible towards the right edge, more accurately a deck. There are some sunglasses partially submerged in the sand

I’ll always be sad that we never got a Discworld novel about Moist von Lipwig being tasked with building the first Ankh-Morpork (hygienic) Underground Railway. Talking Dwarves around to doing the tunnelling for it, goblins naturally wanting to be drivers and engineers, developing a way to deal…

I swear to God, as a kid I thought Elton John and Dr. Octopus were the same person.
Elton John singing passionately and playing the piano on stage, sporting a reddish bowl cut, dark-tinted glasses, and a bright lime-green jacket adorned with gold crosses. His haircut, glasses, vibrant green outfit, and intense expression bear an uncanny resemblance to Doctor Octopus.Classic Marvel comic book illustration of Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius) standing with four metallic tentacles curling around him. He wears blue goggles, a green jumpsuit, orange boots, and a brown bowl cut, mirroring the glam-rock aesthetic and eyewear of 1970s Elton John.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.
