Satan: 'Oh, hahah, you're doing desktops again, can I tempt you into ditching your laptop to go back to ATX form factor and all the upgrade possibilities it holds?' Me: 'No, Satan, I still travel. I thought you were -also- omnipotent, fucking Satan, letting me down. I'm still maining laptop.'

Hey, #Balatro, fuck you. I still love you, but fuck you.

Youngest, accusingly: 'Dad, is -that my computer there-?' (on my workbench, being turned into a Plex server) Me: 'Yes. Do you want this old slow one back instead of the nice fast one?' Youngest: '....... no, it's good.' Thought so kiddo.

Anyone else having trouble with Ubuntu package servers tonight? Getting nowhere with daily driver and project w/new install, rest of Internet seems a-ok.

When you accidentally order a SODIMM instead of normal desktop RAM and then you discover SODIMM-to-DIMM adapters exist.

I find it fascinating that my kid's computer has a 15yo processor in it that's still not really a slouch (an i7 2600K) and still handles his gaming load quite handily. I mean, he's 12, so it's not much. But he's getting the Ryzen PC now and I'm taking the i7 because his old rig intrigues me.

'Well, I might as well try to resurrect this computer here that I feel like the CPU might be fried on and has been sitting for over a year.' -computer fires up- 'Oh.' Ryzen 5 5600 with an RX 580 in it rn, still a decent beast :D

More new roguelikes to play: Darkest Dungeon II and Death Road to Canada(!)

NEW COMIC: Next Gen

There is no song to absolutely encompass my global music exposure. Canada, my roots, NS celt and Ont punk, BC weirdo acid rock, UK best oldskool ardcore, Slavs the soul mzk, IND pride, GWAR et al, Bstn, Newfs et Qs je t'aime, Guelph yo, so much so loud

So this is ADHD. I keep getting emails from Voice123 with these fun-sounding requisitions for voices. And I never submit, because I've always either got too many things happening or I have task paralysis. Fuck my life.

I'm on a military French course at home, in week three of five. I have duty tomorrow on the ship, which I've fobbed off because, man, I'm on French course. I'm curious to see whether my boss or the dude I fobbed off on remember. Especially since the dude asked for $20 for it, which I said fine to.

Someone remind me in a couple weeks that I can run LSDJ on an Anbernic handheld.
