when your relationship with local birds are such one of harmony that they'd just come and knock off the loquats you picked off your tree

WAIT THIS IS NOT HARMONY AT ALL. it's not my loquats it's not your loquats it's our loquats :blobcatmelttears:

I really like how in here I feel I know a lot of you really well but literally no idea what you look like, just like livejournal era. Whether it's a infosec thing or we all transcended past being limited by our meat prisons, I'm super happy with this

If we, as a global community, can understand that "January" don't have to have a set season to it, even if you are one of the weird people who believe in the four seasons for all; I don't see why we can't standardise time as a global thing and just accept it's gonna be 2am in some places that's midnight. I volunteer to have that.

Fuck this whole fucking with my time twice a year, but only in some states, and only some states have its own autosync bs.

Are kangaroos real animals, because I can't believe such actively suicidal thing isn't extinct yet and I refuse to believe any evidence of their existence in 2026 isn't AI.

Look on the bright side, translators will have their jobs again because of enshittification.

what is a good glass nib pen halp ( @doombloomart )

I kinda want to do fountain pens again but every fountain pens I ever had in adulthood (Lamy) just leak everywhere

Coffee can't wake you up? Try something Xtreme: an absent minded wasp slamming into your cornea.

I'm fine. Not stun. Just, really awake for rest of my life.

Sincerely, if we talk here sometimes, and you stream games sometimes, @ me. I don't always have time to attend (realistically like I never do), but when I say I don't care for streaming it's more I don't care if I don't know and like the people playing.

Recommend me your favourite, small hands friendly, no gyro, preferably rumble but not mandatory, Windows PC game controllers please. Prefer PS2/3/4 era shaped if possible.

The downside of only lurking in Reddit once a few months, is the deterioration of US daily lives is noticeably worse compared to my last visit there. As in Reddit is always whingy but this is legit, holy fuck shit are bad and it's no longer Rich People Whinging About Waiters Don't Grovel Enough (tm) anymore.

But seriously if you are indoctrinated in the cult of "morality equates delaying grafitication" you will end up like me, dying without ever feeling joy.

No Freeplay or Game Week for me this year, because I'm extremely bad at unemployment. :blobcatsob: :blobcatsob: :blobcatsob:

Heeeey cooks of my flist. Do you think a deep frier is worth buying? If so what do you recommend? (cc @faithisleaping )

I don't eat a lot of fried food but I make them for others, and this post may be inspired by hot oil splash into my fucking eye

Well fuck. I tried to degoogle by going to proton, and turned out the only reason it's not worse is because they don't have the capacity to be as evil as Google.

Final Fantasy Dissidia Duellum is like the most perfect game for me - oh it's gacha. Fuck the right off then.

Nine Games that Defined me:

Final Fantasy VII, inclusive of the Re series. I see far too much of myself in Cloud, the awkward short skinny femme boy who is constantly gently intimidated by the cool THC girl, worship their far more put together professional friend, escaped the childhood town for extensive complex reasons but still feel somewhat protective of it, motion sickness, poor short term memories, and this one time just impulsively bought a house.

But also. Cloud really puts in effort. He doesn't like socialisation but he tries. He's awkward but generally is considerate to his best ability. If he's given a task he does his best even if half the time he can't even remember where he left his today list. He's a far nicer person that most of the fans give him credit for, and that's why the third disc events were so devastating for me.

What doesn't kill you makes you weirder, the game.

The short version: 9 games that defined me mostly line up with my SSRI deficiency, so take it what you will.

The long version: Not ranked, just one at a time because they deserved the effort.

Why I can never be a proper restaurant reviewer:

1. I'm such a cheapskate that I can't comprehend spending $28 to buy some supermarket rockets put over a supermarket pita bread drizzled with supermarket olive oil

2. I'm a decent enough cook that most people agree that it's just better quality and healthier when eating my homecooked food

(Alternative explanation for 2 is they are being polite and also too cheapskate to pay for $22 to buy some supermarket rockets put over a supermarket pita bread drizzled with supermarket olive oil, but hey, I consider this valid)

I don't think I'm a top cook or anything, just better in terms of per dollar value.
