Met a very inquisitive Barred Owl on the trail today. I don't think I've seen an owl this close in a long time! #photography #birds 📷🐦

I'll say this about the Youtube algorithm: it always knows exactly when I need to hear the main menu theme from Killzone 3.

Stressful day today and I can't tell you how much I needed the end of that game. Aaaaaahhh.

A quick walk by the river today because the spreadsheets were making my brain boil. Lots of fun green stuff, lots of birds, one little butterfly. I saw a killdeer, which is a new one for me, but didn't get any particularly amazing photos of it. #photography 📷

Some studies of green things. I'm at a point where I'm starting to enjoy photography again, but feel drawn to abstract shapes and compositions that aren't really... easy to communicate. But that's why having one's own private art is nice. I like them, and that's enough. #photography 📷

Beautiful walk by the river today with quite the chorus of birdsong. #photography 📷

Amazing how much of the sort of "Steven A" level of basketball discourse seems to be based around the idea that you can still play hero ball in a way that hasn't really made sense since teams started playing zone defense in the pros.

Our new cat is obsessed with sleeping in a different location every time and I'm both curious and slightly worried to see what happens when he runs out of new places to sleep.

Actually kind of weird to see two teams execute late-game fouling correctly and immediately, usually someone ends up screwing up eventually.

Lilies of the valley in my backyard. Beautiful, graceful flowers that are a little tricky to get right in a photograph. Cameras are not a huge fan of white flowers. #photography 📷

Feels like we are heading towards a situation with the Monaco GP akin to the NBA All-Star game where F1 is going to be trying to convince drivers to compete rather than chilling in the parade. I'm not sure there's a good solution other than just removing the race and running it as a time trial.

Play enough roguelikes and you start to understand that making these sing is really hard. I like this game a lot, but the recipe is just a bit off... I think it's a combination of a little too much chaos with not enough recovery (health) opportunities. Movement feel is amazing, though.

New leaf growth always has this quality like you are seeing motion frozen; a tree captured in the middle of an exuberant shout. #photography 📷

It's easy to forget Siakam was supposed to be the franchise for a second in Toronto, but... not tonight. Monster game.

It took me a while but I have become a believer in the steam deck frame rate limiter. In the absence of an adaptive sync display the 90hz on the OLED sometimes seems a bit ambitious for games.

Well, it's been a stressful week, but I am now 2 for 2 with repairing LCD TVs by replacing their power boards. So I guess I can hang my hat on saving that little bit of money.

Well, that sets a new standard for craziest playoff game I've ever seen. How do you go to bed after that?

Spotted this little guy on a tree branch. I don't see that many chipmunks that high up; not sure what he was up to. #photography 📷

So, if I buy two games it costs less than buying just one of them? And buying the deluxe upgrade also costs less? Sometimes, Steam, you really confuse me.

First frozen custard flavor of the season: cappucino. I pity the poor souls who have never supped of this godly nectar.

Stood around on an intermittently rainy day and was visited by some outgoing birds: a curious grey catbird and a phoebe who was patrolling the nest area. Also lots of chickadees but the darn things never stop moving long enough to photograph. #photography #birds 🐦📷

Trying to explain the Doomslayer to my daughter is peak comedy. "No, I can't stop him from breaking that. He's not here to have conversations with the robot. He just wants to kill demons."

Quali margins of victory in F1 are so ludicrously narrow now that it amazes me drivers/cars can consistently win. It feels like quali session outcomes should be determined by minute breeze differences, the flapping of a butterfly's wings, etc.

Definitely struggling to get back in the groove with my photography after the long winter of illness. But I do like these chives. #photography 📷

There's been a truly unprecedented scope of discussion about why Doom: The Dark Ages does not seem to be selling awesome on Steam at the moment... and I think the simplest suggestion seems to escape people: three straight fairly similar-vibed Doom games was too many. Make something else!

Sometimes you have weeks that end in a small triumph, and sometimes you're just left Friday night with a residue of frustration.

One of my favorite format of Reddit posts is the person very seriously asking why their cat is doing some random, dumbass thing, like is this your first day of cat ownership?

I've never had a cat before who just played contentedly with his own toys, and it's very adorable. Oliver's currently in his play tunnel rolling around with his little plastic springs.

Two things: 1. "Steve Chatbot" is an amazing name 2. The primary problem with my Nissan Versa is that I don't own one.

Judging from the TNT audio, it has got to be like 40-50% Knicks fans in Boston tonight.

I dunno who it was on Reddit recommended plastic springs as a cat toy, but Oliver is obsessed with them. I've never had a cat that would just take a toy and play with it himself before.

Can we talk about how Mikal Bridges just won two straight playoff games by doing the same thing, on essentially the same spot on the floor? It was kind of... eerie.
