Turns out old, rich, white men do and say old, rich, white men shit. As a middle aged, middle class white man, if I start saying and doing old, rich, white men shit down the line, you’re all invited to the tontine to take me out.
Holy cow. Threads is a cesspool of bad faith engagement.
Absolutely devastating to wake up to news of another layoff at Epic Games. So many wonderful and truly amazing people impacted. Just awful. www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/n...

“and in being the industry's vanguard we have taken a lot of bullets in a battle which is only in the early days of paying off for ourselves and all developers.” An insulting piece of writing. Millions wasted on ego stroking lawsuits, and he has the gall to say this. #gamedev #videogames

Gonna vent for a minute. We’ve got a kid that is often big drama. We’re working on that, but she’s expressive and emotional. Her teacher is retiring after this year. She made it to school, and all the way up until 245 was fine. Her teacher texts us “[Daughter] says she has a headache” (1/3)
I don’t really think there can exist a better album cover than Stratovarius’ Visions.
It’s 4:37am. I have to be at a park in an hour for the start of my first marathon at 7am. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea like 5 months ago??
Y’all wanna see something nuts? The kid broke her collarbone this weekend. Straight up snapped.
Video Games. Let’s fund them. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #videogames
Two more weeks till the marathon (sans a day) and with the shin issue I basically lost three weeks. Gonna attempt 17 miles today. If I can, then I think I can handle the marathon on the 15th. Maybe I’ll record it.

The website update is looking pretty cleeeeeeeean. (Don’t mind that top bar, I uh, haven’t done a ton for mobile yet). #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #pcgaming
Once a year I love to make the mistake of shaving my face to help me remember what a big fucking stupid face I have and how good it looks with a beard.
@akirathedon.bsky.social I’m not sure you’re still on here but my neighbor, and friend, Ted made a comprehensive Akira the Don discography website in his spare time, just for fun!

So, I’ve got what looks like a shin splint like 4 weeks for my marathon. Not 100% sure what that means for the run. I can manage a decent run, but thirty minutes after my right shin on the inside is killing me and is for a couple of days. Going to PT, but man this sucks.
The Benadryl from night and the Vyvanse and Sudafed from this morning are all fighting for supremacy in my body.
Grabbed TikTok and Insta for the Etsy shop. I can’t be trusted with that shit. It’s programmed directly for my brain. Hours just fucking lost rotting in one spot.
There’s a Mexican place near us that serves 4L tequila drinks…
Kinda weird clusters I’m near, but I’ll take them. My two nearest neighbors don’t appear to be online any more but @sgephd.bsky.social seems like the right kind of people.
