Hello there! I'm some guy born in Barton County, KS who now lives in a different part of the state. I'm mostly here for cats, technology, video games, and pro wrestling. Occasionally I slip into politics as well.

As I get ready to close everything on this computer and go to bed, I present you with an earworm that has been stuck in my head for decades: DENVER the last dinosaur He's my friend and a whole lot more

Like yeah I didn't watch it while it was happening but even halfway through 1995 I REALLY want an ECW shirt I can wear out in public. It's SO GOOD, not just in comparison to 1995 WWF and WCW, but ECW is its own thing that I love more and more with every show

I don't even care that this Guerrero/Malinko match is a rerun from the week prior on ECW, I had hardware issues that meant I actually waited like two weeks between from I last watched 1995 pro wrestling stuff. And hey, these two are AMAZING when you put them in the ring together! #WrestleSky #ECW

Thanks to Brian Bayless' writing for @rspwfaq.bsky.social 's site "Scott's Blog of Doom" I know that this episode of WWF Raw from early June 1995 was filmed at a high school auditorium. 1995 really was a rough year for pro wrestling in general, wasn't it? WCW wasn't faring much better.. #WrestleSky

So uh it looks like I maybe lost some data from the old drive? That or I was missing some shows... Either way, I guess I'm skipping a few weeks of WCW Main Event for now..! It's rough that "Season 08 Episode 19" was the very next one, but oh well!

So modern parasocial relationships are definitely a problem, but watching old 1995 stuff had me realize today that I based what brand of underwear I purchase for most of my adult life on what a famous basketball(/baseball/golf, but we don't talk about those) player said in ads when I was a pre-teen.

Even Yahoo news is publishing that Donvict Drumpf is a fucking KGB Ruzzian Pootin spy & Moscow Tool. Codename Krasnov, named after a Ruzzian collaborator with the Nazis. uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...

So these Bob Backlund for President vignettes from 1995 WWF were funny up to this year, but nowadays I'd vote for Backlund's over-the-top incompetent character over the current administration...

Everything computers-wise is back to working as expected, so it's back to 1995 pro wrestling! This video of WWF Action Zone from early June has the ads intact, USA was pushing Tek War *hard* but I don't ever remember watching the show. #WrestleSky #WWF #TekWar

I told my cat that I'd be going to the computer to out in a carry-out order at a fast food place, then I'd be going there to get the food, drop some of the food off with my gf, and then coming back with food. My cat took this as "okay Dad is going to a computer so it's time to nap on his lap."

Finished! Working in a small case with a mATX motherboard wasn't fun, but since I had to take pretty much everything out anyway I took the chance to clear out the dust built up in the PC. It's back to running near-silently again!

Copying the data to a new drive has begun on a spare PC, but it looks like it's going to take awhile...

I love how every night when I go to bed, as I tell my cat what I'm going to do and that she can go to bed too if she wants or stay in the living room or whatever feels right, she watches me intently. After I finish my sentence, her expression switches to one of deep thought every time.

New HDD to replace the one I messed up has arrived from ServerPartDeals, my project for my upcoming days off is recovering data from the broken drive onto the new drive. For now it's sitting in its box, waiting for me to have free time to begin this project

CPU fan on the living room gaming PC is dying, and past me ordered a CPU cooler that does not use a standard fan (Arctic Cooler 12). Looked into replacement parts and ordered a new heatsink and fan for cheap. They should be here on Thursday. Guess I'm going without PC games for a few days..!

My cat lost the toy we were playing with, after I told her that I can't play if she can't find her toy she curled up my my legs to pout and/or pass out

"I made this in one of your pottery classes. It's TERRIBLE!" *angrily throws poorly made pottery to the ground*

My cat did her "hey I want something" meow then lead me down into the basement, ending with a trip to my old electronic drum kit. She went back and forth between sniffing it and looking at me. I think she wants me to play a bit, but there's a problem with that idea...

today I realized that my love language is bringing my girlfriend fast food at her work when she forgets to bring something to eat

I really enjoyed Yakuza: Like a Dragon so I decided to try the rest of the series, starting with Yakuza 0. Is it just me or are most of the minigames in Y:0 super obtuse and annoying? At least the main gameplay is fun and the story has my attention... #SEGA #Yakuza

Oh, will you look at that... nypost.com/2025/02/12/u...
