Last weekend I was in the final stages of selling my house and there was too much stuff to do to really relax. This weekend I’m not doing a dang thing, I’m gonna sit back and watch SGDQ or maybe the Olympics or something and play video games.

Andy, but they decided against it at the last minute. However, my dad’s brother and his pregnant wife really liked the name, and a few months later my cousin Andy was born.

Some digital artists use Switch JoyCons for shortcuts in Clip Studio and other painting programs.

Since the Internet Archive has already been suggested, you might also want to check out the Queer Zine Archive Project

You might want to check out Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. The book is about the people of the Exodus Fleet, a group of multi-generation ships that left Earth years ago. Even though the fleet eventually found other planets for them to live on, many are content to continue living out in space. It’s a neat little slice of life book about this community doing their part to keep these ships going.

When it comes to buying furniture: Get secondhand furniture handed down by relatives, or found at thrift stores, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, garage sales, whatever. It’s more eco-friendly to buy stuff that already exists, it’ll probably cost less than brand-new furniture, and the older stuff is sturdier than anything you’re going to get at Ikea.

With the money you save buying secondhand tables and drawers and such, buy a GOOD brand new mattress. You can cheap out on a lot of furniture, but never cheap out on a mattress. Decades from now, your back will thank you.

Last week I was on vacation (went to Disney World) so this weekend I’m gonna take it easy. Do some chores, order a pizza, play video games. Nothing particularly exciting, but I’m okay with that.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.

I’m not saying I WANT Dick Van Dyke to pass away, but the man did just turn 98.

I left the house, but only to drive over to my parents’ place for food and presents.

On my way over I saw a drugstore and a Burger King open, everything else looked pretty closed.

A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs - This is one of my favorite podcasts, but I’m going to warn you it’s not for everybody. The creator of this show, Andrew Hickey, is THOROUGH. A great example is the most reason episode about Hey Jude. Either you will love the concept of a 3.5-hour episode where 80% of the podcast is not about the song but rather the circumstances and lives of The Beatles, Yoko Ono, and the late 1960s music scene leading up to the creation of Hey Jude, or you will be furious that so much of the episode is about stuff that isn’t the song.

You can have a friendly boss, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your boss is your friend. Just remember there’s always a power dynamic there, even if it feels like there’s not.

I am now sitting on the laptop my company gave for work, most likely breaking it. Which is unfortunate, but I can probably just request another.

I downloaded a car

If you find an empty community and wish there were most posts, maybe post something.

Hmm, I’m not sure. I can see them from my home instance, but also the last post is from 12 days ago so it might just be because it’s a slow-moving community.

I got Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii when it first came out and just couldn’t get it. I mean, I understood what I was supposed to be doing, but I could barely pass any of the songs. I figured I just didn’t have any rhythm and put it on the shelf.

Fast-forward to 2020 when I was rearranging some stuff and came across Rhythm Heaven Fever again. I hooked my Wii back up for shits and giggles and started playing and was doing great. Either I had magically gained a sense of rhythm or (most likely) the TV I had been playing on when I first got the game had some sort of latency issue.

Now I’ve gone through all the Rhythm Heaven games, but Fever is still my hands-down favorite. I put a copy on my Steam Deck and sometimes I just load it up and play through some songs when I have a few minutes to kill.

💩. Gotta make sure the middle name is an emoji too, none of this “he can go by his middle name if he doesn’t like his first name” nonsense.

Yeah, I bought a couple of iPods from a thrift store on a lark and restored them back to working condition. I use one of them in my car every day.
