My roommate gets some of the most insane spam emails I’ve ever seen in my life.

Whenever I say/do something that disgruntles my wife I always give her a smug smile and side-eye — In my head I feel like the cat blocks from Wario Land 4.

war never changes

Life imitating art.

I feel my frontal lobe exploding after reading the “Guilty Gear groomicide” Discord DM leaks. Someone please exorcise the vengeful spirit of Jeffrey Epstein possessing that young man.

My friend messaged this random guy’s Wordpress blog over Steam and it’s a trainwreck I can’t look away from. Literally 10 years of posts from an antisocial incel in the UK pissing in jugs, stalking people, and self-harming. Amazing.

Seeing many entry/mid level SWE jobs posted in Bangalore is making me want to take on an Indian pen name and register a VoIP number with the +91 country code. The first month of unemployment was liberation, the next three drove me to despair; the final months leave me to anguish and radicalization.

Estradiol and Spiractin are the equivalent of HGH and anabolic steroids for cybersecurity researchers.

I hope i did well lol

Holding out hope that if there’s a fifth Sonic movie, it’ll feature the inter-dimensional cat princess and her psychokinetic twink. Love Blaze and Silver.

Do people who post TikToks about post-Soviet urbanism know that there are other bands in Eastern Europe that aren’t Molchat Doma?

Leaving the depressed recently laid-off software engineer arc to enter the degenerate online mahjong gambler arc. We went from "It's so over" and hating it to "things are so bad you couldn't possibly imagine" and loving it.

Wonder what kind of reactions I’d get if I brought the Hello Kitty apple CRT to the FGC locals.

I had a dream about that one Ricky Martin song (you know which one) and it compelled me to watch 20 year old clips of Hard Gay Razor Ramon when I woke up.

Good morning Bluesky I hate Microsoft Windows

I keep submitting my name to the Hotline to Hell website but I’m regrettably still alive. Maybe Hell Girl will do a contract with me to fix the JavaScript on her submission form?

Military propaganda: ❌🤮👎 Military propaganda but Japan: ✅✅✅✅✅✅🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Very excited for Valve to release an updated print of "Raising The Bar". I've always wanted a copy ever since I was in middle school, but current re-sale price of the original books are several hundred dollars and I can't justify the purchase to myself.

Anyways I’m back to practicing Japanese because I wear all the 「日本語上手」comments I received as badges of shame. For all the hate generative AI gets, it really has improved my studying proficiency more than what Genki and Duolingo alone could provide.

Security in Nara was air-tight. No larceny occurring on his watch.

sometimes I think about how the dreamcast had a secret much more technically impressive menu mode that was completely inaccessible until it was snuck into the final dreamcast game released exclusively in japan as a bonus with the included memory card icon

Waffling hard on Valkyrie Profile’s English dubbing. On one hand, it’s full of awkward sounding scenes that wreak of the 90s JRPG VA dub cheese. On the other hand, Lenneth shouting “TO MY SIDE, MY NOBLE EINHERJAR” before combat encounters tickles my autism far better than it does in Japanese.

In a more positive Harajuku experience, I met a friendly おばちゃん who ran an 80s-style ヤンキー clothing store where an old designer I liked used to be. We became friends after squatting and shouting obscenities while pretending to smoke cigarettes together.

I got bullied by an おばあちゃん in Harajuku today into buying some streetwear clothes she designed. She pulled me into her shop and pulled my hoodie off and started dressing me while shouting “I AM JAPANESE FASHION DESIGNER, ばかやろ!!” Can’t tell if she’s worked in marketing or hard-read my social anxiety.

Started playing Suikoden but can't shake the memory of those 2008 SomethingAwful posts about a guy attending UCSB whose flat gotten taken over by a mentally ill fujoshi, who believed she was an incarnated character from Suikoden, running an entire cult out of their living room.

Communication via text is turn-based. Speech is a rhythm game.

Dissecting data structures in WH40K Boltgun truly gives the authentic experience of communing with the machine spirit
