Received some bad news today so would appreciate some positive vibes my way, whilst we figure out what to do about it..

Just completed Big Walk! Including all of the post game. What a freakin' delightful game. I'm so so proud of House House, and the fact that this game is AUSTRALIAN! A great showcase of the Aussie indie scene, and of our beautiful landscape! Big Walk's island is based off a real place in Victoria.

Impulse bought a Gintama blind box last weekend. Got the supposed "secret" option. Figured the best place to put it in the house was here..

Photo of a floating shelf. On the shelf there is a figurine of a golden "Elizabeth" from the anime Gintama. Elizabeth is holding a sign that says "chotto matte" in Japanese. Behind Elizabeth, is a line of four tiny yellow ducks. In the background, there are also a couple Omamori hanging.

Does anyone else get constantly logged out of the Bsky app on Android every other day? Getting sick of having to log in again almost every time I open this app on my phone..

Still never seen a total solar eclipse (hopefully weather will be good for Sydney 2028!) but taking this excuse to post the lunar eclipse photos I took 8 years ago.. It's not the best but hey, I'm no professional photographer, and I'm still happy with it.

Sigh. It'd be great if people leaving comments in various Reddit threads (yes, those ones) would just read the room and vibe of the posts and not make my job harder ffs. Whatever happened to imagining people complexly?

Honestly, it wasn't the sound I expected to hear. Although, I don't know what I expected. Let's hope we never hear it again in any case 😆

Wanted to try a juice bar/bubble tea shop on the way home from the shops today, but noticed that had two AI-generated posters up, as I was looking at the selection. Instant nope from me! As soon as I see any AI-generated imagery in your advertising, that's an automatic no for me giving you money.

Put up a floating shelf today, as a way to show off my vinyl record collection. I do have a couple more though, so maybe another shelf is on the cards, once I figure out where.

Photo of a wall with a floating shelf above my computer desk. The records are: Surf Bungaku Kamakura Complete (Asian Kung-Fu Generation), Hometown (Asian Kung-Fu Generation), LOST (Gotch), Princess Mononoke, Adventure Time

This'll be my third time trying to see this band. The first time, my flight to Sydney was cancelled whilst on the way to the airport (thanks Crowdstrike!); the whole reason I could go to Sydney in the first place was because Tenacious D had cancelled *their* concert in Melbourne!
