Crazy to me that's Humans figured out anything. Dawg, who figured out bread?

I can't imagine using the middle finger when you're genuinely mad. Your pissed off response was to raise your little hand sausage, don't it just feel goofy?

Still playing through every Pokemon game, and I beat Emerald (though I haven't fully completed the dex). Crystal's the better game with charming sprites, but I do like Emerald's more. My only complaint is the sheer amount of HMs. Buf, I def love the box GUI and no longer having to switch 'em all!™

Naruto has some really cool moments, some of the coolest in battle shonen even. But Naruto feels so wasteful. I think I could cut out half the show and have a similar, or better, experience

I'm still playing through every Pokemon game, I just beat Crystal (though, I haven't completed the dex or post-game). I think it's waay better than Red, the item limit's better, HMs are better, Dark is a great addition too. Also, I like Crystal's sprites so much more than Red's

I'm playing through every Pokemon game, and I just beat Red (though I still haven't completed the dex fully). I completely forgot how tough Red was in terms of QoL though. PC boxes, backpack limit, menu-only HMs, etc.

Theseus had to be fuckin' difficult: bro it's YOUR ship, you tell me if it's the same or not asshole

I just watched Flow, and I really liked it. Its style is simple, and it's a beautiful thing to see in motion. Even without dialogue, all of the characters are so immensely expressive that you feel you can glean each one's thoughts and emotions. Flow once again reminds me why I love animation

I love the Unthinkable nuke diffusal spreadsheet containing only gibberish

I like to see happy people. It doesn't matter what they're doing or how they look. I don't know what it is, but I just love to see people being happy. Happiness seems like such a great thing

Photo and video are great, and I love to take them to better remember things—but I try not to focus too much on the recording. I don't like to look through the view finder very much. If recording would take away from the experience, why record at all?

Brighten The Corners : Nicene Creedence Edition feels so jumbled to me. It's like the original, 2 EPs, b-sides, outtakes, and diff recordings, all out of order. I'd rather listen to them as separate releases (or discs). A 12 track album gets like 10 new songs and somehow ends up with 44 tracks

What's the threshold to being happy? What percent of time do you have to be happy to call yourself as such? Even depressed people feel moments of happiness, but I don't think that makes them happy. I suppose it's a nebulous thing. If you think you're happy, it's ought to be true

I think self-diagnosis is good (within reason). It can be helpful to many, but it can also be mucky. I'd rather 100 NTs think autism is just some fun quirky trait than an undiagnosed autistic kid not being able to find community with people they relate to because they can't get through some gate

I like hard games, but not NES hard. I'm of the opinion developers were still in the arcade mindset. Ghosts n Goblins, Double Dragon, Battletoads, and Ninja Gaiden were all fucking impossible. I hadn't beaten em until I was like 16

I can't read as well as I could before. The words begin to meld and my eyes glaze. I even like the books I'm reading, it's just hard to actually read them. It happened before too, but now it's all the time. I can't read anything without excessive breaks lest I retain nothing

I would posit that Linux isn't really any harder to use than Windows, just different. Ubuntu or Mint with a GUI package manager is all you really need to have a good time

It's funny to think of The Divine Comedy as a fanfic where Dante journeys with his favorite writer and a lady he crushed on

Saw my last.fm year summary. This summary doesn't list time, but it was 77,460 minutes. My favorite album of this year was definitely Knocked Loose's You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To. My favorite album I heard this year was probably Yo La Tengo's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out

Really the new year should have no special significance, but I can't help but feel it. I suppose it's the signifier of passing time, that the future is ever approaching. Hoping for a good year

There should be an option on streaming services to add TV shows to a pool where they get played in a random order but chronologically. So like ep 50 of king of the hill, house md, fresh prince, supernatural, sex and the city, family guy, seinfeld, ep 51 of king of the hill

Sometimes I think about the comedy in being a nonbinary bisexual agnostic. Like damn, stand for something at least

I'm all in on the death of the author; sure, the author and their meaning is important, but less so compared to the readers' interpretation. This goes for good and bad people alike—they're separate from their art and can't control it

If the Invincible show does one thing differently, I'd want it to give the ending room to breathe. I actually liked the ending, but it felt like bam-bam-bam, too much way too fast

It’s strange how nostalgia works—how vivid a comparatively small part of your life can be. Nostalgia in young people is even stranger because it wasn’t even that long ago. 20 year olds can be nostalgic and that’s whack. There's no reason my young ass should be nostalgic about jack

Weighted blankets are fuckin great. I still think they should be heavier, but that'd probably be bad I think. I just like weight on me, I used to love it when my big ass cat lay on me (he doesn't anymore, he leans on me when lying down instead)

I don't like my shadow. Without details, I can imagine an idealized version of myself in its outline. I can see my hair without its rattiness or stringiness, my outfit without seeing how out-of-place I seem in it, and I can't make out my face or proportions. Not a great feeling, but it's all good

I've resigned myself to accepting that I'm overly sensitive to noise, and can't fix it. I can't stop all sounds. Generally I solve my issues with more noise, music. Not in both ears or loud enough to interfere with hearing important noise, just enough to drown out the world's constant buzzing

I remember falling off Arcane after like episode 4. Not out of dislike, I just didn't have the time or motivation. I'm thinking of catching up now, because the visuals especially look really good. I think it'll get messy storywise. Not in a bad a way, just in drama and conflicts

Noises are usually annoying, but I often ignore them fine. Still, every so often they just make me function worse. I can't hear what people say, I can't think as well, I shake my head about it. Generally the plan is to put in the other earbud and turn up my music louder, maybe walk away awhile

Don't like the idea that queer people are stylish, cause I'm utterly swagless, sets expectations too high and gives me a bad rap

I've wanted to be a programmer since I got my first computer at 12. It was fun and more feasible for me than a lawyer or doctor. But I don't have the talent or passion for it. I like the outcome but not the process. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better at something else, but plans haven't changed

When it comes to pets dying I don't know exactly what is best(natural vs euthanasia). I understand that if an animal is terminal, it may be better. But, if I were the animal, I really wouldn't want to die no matter what. I surely fear death more than pain, but I wouldn't assume animals do. Cont.

I remember visiting my pa when he and my ma split(I say visit, but I was like 9, so I was dropped off). He was upset and played an Eminem CD on a PS2. At the time I just focused on the loud music being played(not my sad father). Thinking back, it should've been sad, but in memory that shit was kino

It's crazy how much transphobia boils down to "You're not hot to me"

Still strange to think about how fucking recent something as simple as same-sex marriage in all 50 US states was legalized. It was 2015, the first state did it in 2004, that's crazy. Every single gen-z kid was born before anyone in every state could marry

Bluesky is convenient for Japanese. Not only are there a regular extra 20 characters, but Japanese characters are counted as 2 on Twitter. So Bluesky functionally has twice as many possible characters with 20 more in Japanese. The next post will use あ for Twitter size, and い for added Bluesky size

I struggle to find a good balance in life. A highly structured routine seems necessary for me to do things proper, but starting any routine is incredibly difficult. Without an active reminder I will forget everything, but properly getting the reminder is almost as important, lest I forget that too
