In my hype for #WoWForever, and RP-PVP servers, I wrote a beginner's guide for Always In Character Roleplay: hypernotepad.com/n/89e5adbfbd...

Been writing like crazy lately. I gotta say, I really love Markdown. I don't know why online Notepads are so obsessed with Rich Text editors. Just build a good Markdown renderer ffs.

.... well, I suppose I should be glad that science is increasingly dipping into what meditation practitioners have been talking about for a thousand years.

My @bsky.app experience is hitting mute account on 90% of my Discovery tab because "see less like this" does nothing against the flood of American politics that I (as a Finnish person) don't have the energy to care about. In general I avoid politics on social media but seems impossible here 🫤

So excited for WoW: Forever. The cynic in me has opinions but oh man... I don't care.

Just #degoogle 'd my phone's photo backup and switched to filen.io Still calendar to go, and then I'll have released my personal day to day things from it's crummy grasp.

Finished my blind run of DS2 and now I have a video record to prove it to myself when I start to wonder how the hell I managed. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Started playing Dark Souls 2 for the first time and decided to record it.

This + Yahtzee Tries got me to buy it...

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

I feel like I'm seeing a lot of junk science news lately that essentially say "brain makes you do stuff". You don't say?

Excited to finally launch the Tantra112.app by Hareesh Wallis, author of Tantra Illuminated! The revered 9th-century nondual meditation manual, the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra, transmitted directly from Sanskrit to the modern practitioner. #classicaltantra #tantra #meditation #nonduality #spirituality

So fast and aggressive ASMR has become such a norm that people label their video as "extra slow" and it's basically the speed most ASMR was 5 years ago 😕

Indie web stuff is so fun and inspiring youtu.be/tkUgOT22F5s?...

This week on Semi-Ramblomatic @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social makes a complete mess trying to breakdown video game genres.

I see that Apple will spare no expense in finding new and exciting ways to make their piece of shit interfaces even more horrible and difficult to navigate. How I detest Macs.

Don't get me wrong, Dark Souls and ER are both beautiful games with superb map design and interesting worlds. I can understand the appeal of the systematic combat. But I still don't like it. And I think souls-likes are overrated. And yes I did complete Dark Souls (and soon ER). #hottake

Screaming to the void: I WISH someone made a game like Satisfactory, but with a fantasy theme. Maybe some crazy potion shop. Magic. Whatever. With ASMRish soundscape. Let me look at pretty sparkly stones, potions and widgets on a magical conveyor belt while hearing bubbling, popping and fizzing.

This was such a great conversation. Very timely, especially for people who think that meditation is just shutting oneself away from the troubles currently going on in the world. Or for anyone who indeed uses meditation just as a form of escapism or dissociation.

I yearn to meet new cats

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

New commission I’m working on.

I have a Wacom Intuos2. I got it.... 25 years ago. If the drivers worked, it would work. It's sturdy as fuck. But Win10 broke the software at some point. Someone said they got it working on Linux Mint. I really hate the idea of having to replace this hardware purely due to software issues.

I had a nice conversation with Alex O'Connor: youtu.be/DrMEL20o5KE?...

Pretty fun game. Hits mostly the same receptors in my head as Terraria and Minecraft though wish they had taken their time with the start - just because I've seen the copper phase doesn't mean I wanna just speed through it in a new game.

Can we normalize services using their own damn website to notify about service status (assuming the website isn't affected)?? I'm not going to log into X, FB or Insta for this crap.

I've spent a lot of time researching ethics and climate impact of various products. Ironically AI makes that job a hell of a lot easier. Ethical consumerism is *exhausting* and more often than not, just checking for some cute green label doesn't really guarantee anything.

Spooky lil fish, the Chimaeras! #LetsChangeThat

Ah. The time has come. The schools have distributed recorder flutes to the children. I do not have children. I just have a bedroom window facing towards the playground.

Wave of support today has been huge, thank you. We don't know if this is how YouTube will be going forward, but supporting the Patreon now helps us be prepared if it is the new norm viewership wise. YouTube itself will never decide how things go on Second Wind, our subscribers will.

I wanted to play an asshole run of The Alters but my second playthrough half-accidentally got a really good ending that left me feel way too warm and fuzzy to then ruin it :(
