I wrote a new post about something I've been feeling the past few weeks. AI is helping me appreciate that things are still worth doing yourself, even when you know they’ll be flawed. https://moddedbear.com/things-are-still-worth-doing-yourself/ #blog
Things Are Still Worth Doing Yourself
AI is helping me appreciate that things are still worth doing yourself, even when you know they'll be flawed.

Feels like these days it's good to remind each other that you don't have to be good at something to make it worth doing.
Is anyone else on quxnet.net? I've been exploring it since last night and it seems right up my alley. Here's a screenshot of my profile there since I don't think you can really see anything if you're not signed in.
Finally updated my concert log with all the shows I've been to this year. Lots of good ones! https://moddedbear.com/concert-log/
Concert Log
Loathe w/ Prostitute and Fleshwater — October 2026 I’ve been listening to Loathe a lot recently thanks to their new album A Stranger To You. It’s a strong contender for my favorite album of the year, and their show didn’t disappoint. It was great getting to see Fleshwater too. I remembered concert ear plugs this time, would highly recommend. Weezer w/ Silversun Pickups and The Shins — September 2026 This lineup was absolutely stacked and I can’t believe I got to see all three of these guys. Weezer’s setlist was amazing too and even had a deep cut or two.

Going to see Loathe tomorrow and judging by the crowd energy in the few videos I've seen there's a very good chance I'm going to die.
The game prototype I've been working on is still going strong so I'm starting to get excited that it'll actually turn into something. My current idea isn't anything too fancy but it should hopefully serve as a good base for future projects.
Shoot. Reddit is finally getting around to removing their RSS feeds. I figured this day was coming but I still have a few subreddit feeds in my reader. It'd be awesome if smaller, independent forums could ever get traction again, but then again Reddit users will put up with absolutely anything […]

BRB running some data analytics on the Sporepedia archive. Man I should boot up Spore again one of these days for old time's sake.
It's been about a month since I finished the last bit of game dev work I've had going on the side this year. I've got a couple ideas banging around for a personal project that I think I want to start prototyping soon...
I've been trying for the past month or so in my phone to disable the stupid blocking of app installations from developers not verified by Google. You have to enable developer options, find the one that gets rid of the block, promise you're not being coerced to change it, restart your phone […]

I didn't get completely destroyed in X-wing tonight, so I'll count that as a success.
Started poking around at the dumped Flock ALPR system images tonight. I barely know what I'm doing but it's kinda fun.
I don't know why but the lineups at Weezer shows are absolutely stacked. Silversun Pickups just finished and The Shins are up next!
Just found an email in my spam folder from an AI agent offering to write catchy titles for my blog posts for $3 a pop (lol). Anyone have clever ideas for ways to respond? Would be very funny to send it on a wild goose chase to waste as many tokens as possible. Either that or get it to divulge […]

Ooh! Just found out that Blood Cultures has a deluxe edition of Skate Story Vol. 1 coming out soon.
Blogging now feels way more cyberpunk than when I started only 5 years ago. It feels way longer than that with everything that's changed. You can just put stuff on the net on your own site and people will come read it, and a large part of why is simply that it was written by a human. Tell me […]

Email's not exactly the most exciting topic in the world, but my post about leaving Gmail sparked a lot of discussion on Hacker News. Here's an update a few months later on how the move to Fastmail went. https://moddedbear.com/an-update-on-leaving-gmail-for-fastmail/ #blog

Made a little tweak to the links underneath my posts. I think it looks way cleaner than just listing the links unstyled like I was doing before. Really liking how it fits in with the messaging widget too.
Now that I've finally finished reading The Expanse, here are a few quick thoughts on what I loved about the series. Plus a few ideas for what I'll read next. https://moddedbear.com/you-really-should-read-the-expanse/ #blog
You Really Should Read The Expanse
A few weeks ago I finished reading Leviathan Falls, the ninth and final book in The Expanse. Here's what I really loved about the series and a few things I'm planning on reading next.
