Talk to me about the way of the Bonsai. I think I want to have that experience. I am trying to determine what to start with. Sure, there are a million articles. Does anyone here have experience? Any store recommendations? #bonsai #newbie #plants

I had to watch the whole thing, I was convinced of another outcome. Good reminder. Easy first isn't always the winning strategy. I work in CI for a living, and sometimes we just have to trust the process. #ContinuousImprovement #Lean www.youtube.com/shorts/l8UDM...

I can taste the smell of this game. omg. Well done #4AGames #metroexodus #gaming

On the "I didn't know I would have to do this in life" front, I catch my cat before he uses a rug, remind him "potty?" and walk with him to his pee pad. I love him dearly. And I will endure this because someone declawed him (all four paws) when he was younger. But still - wow. #cats #family

As someone who enjoys spiders, studies them, and keeps a few species... I must say that video games with jump-scare dungeon apocalypse vibes and spiders that crawl on you STILL FREAKS ME THE F*** OUT! That is all. Happy gaming. #MetroExodus #gaming #spiders #tarantulas

A marketing campaign really had to specify - made with "real cheese." What a time to feel unalive!

I hated the Mistlands... until I didn't. #valheim #gaming #marriedgaming #game

Sooo many chickens. #valheim #gaming #game

Valheim - here we go. Starting the weekend early! Hope your week is winding down. #valheim #gaming #gamer

The artwork in Avowed is fantastic. I really like this style and how it is applied in the story. #avowed #game #gaming

My wife traumatically ripped the blankets off me last night. But I will recover.

Want to learn more about bugs? Check out Nancy’s YouTube channel! I got to help out by providing insect photos and I’m so happy they are being used for entomology education.

Green Bottle Blue. #spidersunday

What the heck does that say? I NEED a machine to read that to me.

Nelson’ Milk Snake. Temporary enclosure, today. Long term being assembled. She (attempted sexing) is still tiny, I have a minute. #snakes #reptiles

I have no clue about the origin of this - but this is good. Lol.

One thing about Avowed... well... The running feels off to me. Somewhere between the Hyenas marching in The Lion King, and a soldier marching in a reigime. It's just a little stiff mechanically. Anyone else? (Still loving the game - don't let this critique fool you!!!) #avowed #gamer #gaming

Car died at 7am on the interstate. Guessing alternator. -9 temp + windchill is brutal. I really wish there was more care for our homeless population.

I have to admit, there are many times I see beard hair on me and go “WTF how’d that get there…” Then I realize it was just a beard hair. 😬

Ummm... Yeah scary...blah blah terrible... I wanna move to the Living Lands IRL. (Shhh don't yuck my yum, let me enjoy mentally leaving my current country). #Avowed #steam #gaming

Avowed is a beautiful game. It plays like Skyrim - but different. I cannot put my finger on it. The story arc delivery feels like BG3 and Skyrim. The bow mechanics seem in line with Horizon Zero Dawn. My opinion 🤪- It feels like a game you should consider. #gamer #gaming #skyrim #avowed #firstplay

I do wish they would remake/modernize Tom Clancy’s HAWX. I could go for some of that right now.

One of the most difficult things in my career has been transitioning from an output-based role to a creative/consulting-type role. Switching from the need to have a product at the end of my day vs. strategically putting things in place for the long term. Manufacturing culture is very results-driven.

It's official. The age of change is upon me: less Five Finger Death Punch sing-alongs and more Geoff Castellucci. Oh the ragey guy is still in me - but he doesn't need to burn all the time now.

I had a whole itinerary for today. I do not think it is going to happen. This week was rough—new ERP (special software to manage creation to cash, demand, purchasing, etc) software transition. Account validation is a rough go.

Groundhog Day, the movie (1993 Bill Murray), has so many layers. Comedic views on repeating cycles expecting different results… get to know people and worlds can change… and boundaries when enough is enough. I have no idea if that was intentionally built into the arc or not. Tickled my brain tho.

The fluctuations in the voice, the rhythmic diverse layers of sound make this song a pleasant suggestion for me. Thanks DJ X.

The time is now!

Happy Valentine's! It's a wonderful time to spend right next to your dearest ones, whether they are friends or soulmates~ Twas a Valentine's gift for my love @fizzbringer.bsky.social, made by @ssfluff on insta! Love this dork so much 🧡

I can see why Skyrim has held such a following so many years later. I played a chunk of it around release time. I never finished (for one reason or another). It has aged very well. Let us finish this. #gaming #gamer #skyrim

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

#GulfOfMexico Pass it on

The power to get answers to "anything" at my fingertips... and this is where my head goes... Question: Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? Answer: It depends apparently. Sly AI, sly... Yes scientifically... blah blah... but possibly... what you think? #chatgpt #randomthoughts
