Happy New Year everybody!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! And a fun day off to those who get to stay home from work and play video games.

I'm still here, by the way. Taking months long breaks from any social media is normal for me. Hope you're doing well, Bluesky.

I just learned that's Adam Granduciel playing guitar on the Beyoncé/Miley Cyrus track "II Most Wanted". I know I'm late to the party.

Watching the Puppy Bowl for the first time. Had to learn the rules. Carrying the ball/toy into the end zone is a touchdown and kicking/pushing it in is field goal. They just did both at the same time!

My top 3 #Grammy moments of the night: 1. Janelle Monáe as Michael Jackson - 2. Gaga California Dreaming - 3. Shakira's bellydance

I'm so glad it's Friday! Lots of issues at work this week that are out of my control to solve. Waiting for external support halfway across the world. The good news I get to tell my reports their annual raises today. Yay!

First world problem of the day: My dampened toilet seat has lost its dampening. Oh well, I'll live.

I got rid of Facebook years ago. Convinced my family and a few close friends to switch from Whatsapp to Signal. Today I signed up with Pixelfed. Finally the day has come to kick Meta to the curb for good. Downloading my Instagram data as I write this so I can delete that account. Zuck you!

I wish humans had a fast charging feature. If I could get the equivalent of an hour nap in 5 minutes, my workday would be so much better.

Tested negative yesterday. Goodbye Covid! Not exactly ready to take on the world, but it's Monday 13th and what choice do we have. Good luck out there!

Ah yes, all the classics.

"Tell us your birth year by sharing the cover of an album that was released the year you were born." Too many to choose! It was a very good year.

best i can do.

Why am I scrolling through vegan Thanksgiving recipes first thing in the morning? To get myself into the mood for this week I guess but it's making me hungry!

Spell your name with Video Games! 𝗙inal Fantasy 𝗟egend of Zelda 𝗢xyd 𝗥une 𝗘nclave 𝗚uild Wars 𝗔rmikrog 𝗡everwinter Nights

In other news, I still haven't finished Neverwinter Nights but I'm finally working on it again.

Listening to Golden Smog and wondering if they'll make a new album now that they're reunited. Either way, grateful for what exists. "Weird Tales" is just about perfect.

I just followed about 100 people who replied to a thread about gaming over 30. That should raise the average age of my timeline. Nothing against all you young'uns but I feel kinda old here at 42.

Don't mind me, just learning how to post photos on here.

Infinite Growth Forever: global-tetrahedron.com

This evening, I finally installed Stardew Valley and then proceeded to play it for 4 hours. I grew my first parsnips, made my first donation to the museum, and I adopted a dog! Have not met all the townspeople yet nor have I ventured into the mines. All in good time. Good night!

"Everything will be all right in the end; if it is not all right, it is not the end."

Frantically uninstalling key mapping software and resetting my keyboard just in time to join a conference call with a client. I made the mistake of plugging an Xbox controller into my computer to play Tomb Raider I before work and somehow messed everything up. I shall try again this weekend.
