I play games and make computers do stuff. Erstwhile streamer, constant tinkerer.

In 1960 we only knew of a dozen or so “near earth asteroids” advances have been made with telescopes and photo tech and now we’re aware of tens of thousands of near earth asteroids. So telescope production must be causing these asteroids to appear. Right!? Right?! #thisisactuallyaboutautism

elder millennial vibe check: look up the song "this is the day" by the the (if you don't already know it) tell me if within a couple bars of this song a particular movie comes to mind

Me, feeling clever while moving house: “I’m just gonna put this [important item] in with this other stuff I’m hauling just for now, and then when I get there I’ll take it right out because I’m need it very soon” Narrator: it’s been 2 weeks and he still hasn’t found his [important item].

UX tip 💡 Show validation feedback for things that can be validated, like the SWIFT code. This little "Valid" label is so reassuring.

Form displaying bank details for the United States, including a valid SWIFT/BIC code and a hidden account number field.

Moving as a millennial is both easy and hard because I still have every original box for every electronic device I still own so moving them is nice and safe, but finding storage for all the boxes afterwards is a mess. (Mostly joking)

oh nooo nat 1 on a constitution check for mystery meat and i only have 5 hp at the moment? eh, it'll probably be fine. [narrator] it was not fine
