@joshruben.bsky.social I’m nobody, but I had to ping you to say Heart Eyes was awesome. It’s really nice to watch a slasher where you don’t hate everyone on the screen, and none of the kills feel like cop outs. Really great job.

Watching LITTLE BITES tonight on @shudder.com. There’s a lot going on just in the casting of this film and that’s enough to keep it interesting at least. #horror

Kind of a weird week for me.

I've got a questionable habit of binging through bad horror movie franchises. In the last year I've gone through all of the Critters, Toxic Avengers, Children of the Corns, and One Missed Calls, and most of the Amityvilles. I've really gotta stop doing this to myself.

Up to 5 unassisted pull-ups now at 235lbs body weight. That seemed impossible two years ago.

I really need to go back to giving games a chance instead of just playing the same thing all the time. I gave CITIZEN SLEEPER a shot today, and I'm completely hooked. It's a great scifi story, and the game mechanics are just enough to keep me engaged.

Woot woot, confirmed for the network test of Nightreign. Looking forward to seeing how it works in practice because a lot of that trailer looked pretty bizarre.

Suzuki is right, but also, it'd be great if Matheson would stop taking useless shots and creating turn overs. The OT loss was really not 8's fault, but the shot-into-the-shins-to-turnover thing is happening so much that it's turning into a meme at this point.

The opening track from Avatarium's new album is fucking great. Perfect doom metal track.

Being caught up on work today is freaking me out a little. I can't even remember the last time I didn't have a fire to put out or otherwise have a stack of urgent to-dos. I might actually be able to work on professional development stuff for once.

Calculating whether I have enough in the tank to do my cardio after deadlift day. Got vaxxed on Wednesday and it’s kicking my ass.

It's wild to see something like what went down in DC yesterday, log on to a news app (specifically, Apple News+) and see absolutely no mention of it in any headlines there.

Well, this is a terrible period of hockey for my Habs. Ridiculous number of penalties and ONE shot on net (which happened to go in at least). They better come back chastened in the 2nd. #gohabsgo

I spent about two hours yesterday just flipping through used records. It is so ridiculously relaxing to just physically browse like that. I didn't end up getting anything for myself, but my wife found something dear to her, and the kids got banh mi and milk tea after, so a nice afternoon for all.

I finally, FINALLY got myself a decent turntable and set up my sound system. My amp and speakers had been in storage since 2005!

Pretty on-brand for Trudeau to be late for his own press conference.

This week is the last on my current bulking workout program. I put on about 10lbs over 11 weeks, and my scale says better than half of that is muscle. Gonna do a six week cut next and see how I feel. 3300cal -> 2200cal

Something I started doing a couple of months ago is watching anime while I do my cardio. Currently finishing up Summer Time Rendering and other than some very cringey fan service I’m enjoying it a lot!

So far all I’ve played in 2025 is Satisfactory and POE2. Gonna get back on Metaphor soon.

First workout of the year in the bag. Bench press day, hit 163lbs x 7 on my top set. That’s a volume PR at least so a good start. One of my goals is to be well past 225lbs 1RM by the end of the year. It’s not gonna be easy!

“Perkele” is such a fun curse word to say #thelastdrivein

Kid doesn’t listen for shit. Accurate #thelastdrivein

That gingerbread scene is a little heartbreaking #Thelastdrivein

Big THE THING vibes with this scene #TheLastDriveIn

Tonight’s first film on #TheLastDriveIn is RARE EXPORTS, a fav of mine. Great way to spend a Friday the 13th evening.

I got myself a pair of Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds specifically for my work PC, to replace my WH-1000XM2 over-ears (because I got glasses and over-ears hurt my head now). I thought at first the noise cancelling was way worse, but once I put on aftermarket memory foam tips it's def way better.

Minor brag for the day: I've been training grip strength this year, and I've managed to jump up two "steps" in the Captains of Crush gripper line. Started out barely able to close the 80lbs one once, and now I can reliably close the 120lbs one and can do 10 reps on the 100lbs. Progress!

In the last couple of weeks it feels like India-centric subreddits have been getting pushed really heavily in the main /r/popular feed. I've muted probably 30 subreddits to get them out of my feed. Never seen any of them before recently.
