I took Friday off work because "I haven't taken any days off this year", but the real reason is that I wanted a day off to play Xenoblade. There's so much content and I only just finished Chapter 4.

thelibre.news/foss-infrast... Everything this article says is true. Some AI companies are so aggressive and masking their activity so well, it's impossible to block them. My website was constantly crashing due to hundreds of thousands of visits per day from bots, from random IPs and user agents.

Best picture I can do. Finally knocked Lunar Eclipse off my list of space things to see. Very cool! The lead-up reminded me of the solar eclipse with the moon having a sliver cut into it, until eventually it turned red. Not as red as in BotW, but still very noticeably red.

Screw it, I'm going to stay up til 3am to watch the Lunar Eclipse tonight. Will post a pic if I get a good one. Every time I've wanted to see one in the past, it was cloudy. But weather is perfectly clear today.

Anyone that didn't wake up at 2AM last night to change all their clocks is a lazy procrastinator

Bought the FF7 Remake and Intergrade soundtrack. One of the best soundtracks I've listened to in a while. Picked a selection of 3 hours to add to my playlist. Incredible for a game to have so much S-tier music.

Still thinking about FF7 Remake after finishing it this week ... I really want to go right into FF7 Rebirth but I know I don't have the time for that. In the meantime I've been listening to the soundtrack, and it's immediately one of my favorites, not only the remixes but also the brand-new songs.

Bluesky HYYYYPE!!!

I put my water bottle in the dishwasher, it's only been a short time but I've already instinctively reached for it at least 10 times in the last hour.

Spawned by current world events, a NEW asteroid has just dropped, with a 1.2% chance of flattening an entire city in the year 2032 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_YR4 . This is only the third ever object to score higher than a 1 on the Torino scale and pose any potential risk (but we'll probably be fine)

Dogsitting successful, and this time my sister didn't walk in just in time to see poop smears all over the carpet.

A beta for 99.0 has been released! This version adds better search in the save browser, and boosts fps in Fire/Fancy displays by putting rendering into another thread. There's also now in-game credits, a new tools api for creating Lua tools, and various simulation / crash fixes. Download: tpt.io

Groose added to Nintendo Music

I had a friend affected by doxxing due to this guy. Sucks to see it. I've struggled before with questions like "this person technically followed the rules as written, should they be banned?" and the answer is that yes, if they're souring the entire community for everyone, get rid of them.

Typical game of Mario Party

Just finished Mario&Luigi Brothership, and I have to say, it's such a great game. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a M&L game this much. Pacing concerns in the intro and ending aside, the game is pretty good in all other aspects. Love the combat in particular. Solid 8/10 game.

Here, have a picture of my sister's dog trying to carry a stick

Sticker acquired. Remember to vote!

Beautiful fall colors in northern Michigan yesterday. What a perfect time of year to do a bike trail.

Astro Bot platinum achieved. Worth every second of it.

Pearl & Marina putting on a great show tonight at the Grand Festival Grounds. (my favorite out-of-bounds pic I took today)

I miss manuals. Just look at this incredible art / instruction book combo that came with Astro Bot.

Tape normally solves everything, but my last-ditch attempt to tape my headphones back together didn't work

Tasty oreo splatoon cake

TPT is Currently #1 on New & Trending! I wasn't sure if it was just for me, so I also checked steamdb.info and we're #8 on "Hot Releases" with over 300 players right now. Incredible to see us in the charts at all.

I was told there is a puzzle in animal well that requires 50 people to solve. Here's my contribution. (Yes I know it was already solved)

Another sky picture. But this one actually looks cooler in the photo than it did in person. Sadly too much light pollution by me to really see it. Just an hour away and I would have been able to see dancing green lights in the sky.

Totality is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should try to view. It quickly turns to dusk, all the streetlights turn on, and everything seems to stand still. You can't tell in this photo, but the sun was black with the white light of the corona emanating from it.

The poisonous potato update has an insane amount of new content. But my favorite part is the powerful potato, an endlessly growing root system that eats all blocks and funnels the items to the surface. This thing is so huge it's farming deepslate way below the surface. It's an AFK "everything" farm

Sent in two drifting pro controllers to Nintendo, and got sent back two seemingly brand-new controllers. Same splatoon 2 colors on one as well. Excellent customer service, and way cheaper than buying two brand-new controllers.
