Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

I know you Final Fantasy 7 folks are gonna pick up Tifa when she comes to Street Fighter 6. You want to know how to learn a character? You want to get better faster? I'm learning Yasmine tonight and would be happy to show you how. Also, the foster cats! www.twitch.tv/normans_own?... 7PM EDT

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

WHA OH!!! Anyway use deer.social

Occasionally my job includes wandering through vacant and/or abandoned spaces looking for metering devices that are still on system but no longer in use. I love this part of the job.

Our cute friend Laguna, last kitten of the Final Fantasy colony, goes for his ear surgery first thing in the morning. If you’d like to help cover this costly procedure, you can donate at: linktr.ee/crits4cats

If at first you don't succeed...

Anybody know when the Street Fighter 6 patch notes drop?

Some friends and I went to Picklefest at the NJ Expo Center and it was delightful. Pickles in every size, ingredient, flavor profile, as well as things you wouldn't expect. The one that got me is the spicy, pickled pineapple chunks. This stuff is great.

My favorite fighting game that sucks is Zero Divide. Had so much fun playing that stupid game with my brother back in '95. We even imported Zero Divide 2, but didn't get to play that one nearly as much.

when someone says their "favorite fighting game that sucks" is something really designed in that constrained esports way, like Granblue VS, I kinda get mad. cuz we're talking about games that you love enough to play even if they don't have world tours and thousands of players online right now.

Street Fighter 6 - Yasmine's Debut

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

You Can Rest Now, PSX Ghost In The Shell Anime Cutscenes

Thirty years before Science Saru’s anime adaptation, this PlayStation One game was the closest thing Ghost in the Shell fans had to seeing the OG Major as an anime baddie

During the q&a section they straight up confirmed that the ps1 ghost in the shell game cutscenes were a major influence on the new show's art direction. Did not expect them to just go "yeah" like that!

Now that I’m done with Final Fantasy colony, I can return to another spot that I’ve wanted to do serious work on for years— Orange Colony (named for the group of 6 orange kittens that came from here a couple years ago). Matriarch Molly is gone but her kids are still proliferating. Look at this guy!

new video is up! ♡ #ASMR youtu.be/OdbI_7lGN54

And slightly older, shyer friends will also be excellent companions. One or two will be right for YOU!

It's the last stream before Street Fighter 6 rank reset. Can I get AKI to 1800 MR? Will the modifications I made to my joystick help with my execution? Do you need to care at all or just come for the foster cats? All these questions answered at 7PM EDT! www.twitch.tv/normans_own?...

I'm at the Lowe's Home Improvement and Bird Seed Buffet, apparently.

@jasonschreier.bsky.social Just listening to the latest episode of Triple Click and if you're comparing Spielberg outout to Nintendo's, the most likely Schindler's List analog is Sin and Punishment. Love the show and this discussion is hilarious. Thanks!

yeah i'm a gamer

I keep bringing the kid to these devices and squeezing him in there but nothing happens. He comes out (almost) exactly the same as he went in. NONE of them seems to work. The baby remains unchanged!

I do have one highlight to share from last night's stream. I had forgotten to switch my stream layout from chatting to gameplay, but magically caught Momo failing to climb the newly revealed shelves.

Walked through a wall to a different liminal space.

Stream time will be normal. Stream content will be normal. The stuff going on behind my head may have changed. What could I possibly mean by this? Find out. 7 PM EDT www.twitch.tv/normans_own?... The foster cats will be here.
