nine games that shaped who i am 🤔 this was really difficult because i have both played a ton of video games and didn't finish many as a child. as a result most of the games here are ones that had an impact on me more recently. also pikmin is for 1-3 and splatoon is for 1-2

just finished playing P3P FeMC, Persona 3's ending never fails to make me cry, especially the march social link dialogue. Saori's letter made me cry as much as the ending, single-handedly justifies the whole playthrough just for that social link not to mention all the other great things in FeMC.

I'm not sure why i never put it together that most seattle roads are 25mph and a class 2 ebike goes 20mph and is therefore not actually that much slower than a car for most trips... now I'm really regretting getting a regular bike

1password deciding to do this really makes me glad i went with an open source alternative, bitwarden, from the start. which btw, bitwarden is just a great password manager all around and has a great free tier with self hosting being viable too so I'd recommend it to anyone as an alternative to this

as amazing as the true ending to persona 4 is, the best part will always be that i only got it on accident trying to see teddie before the train lol. also the fox social link in the final battle is way too funny and kinda ruins the moment while also making total sense.

I continued to wear a mask well into 2024 before i mostly stopped, then in 2025 i got RSV worse than anything I've ever caught, immediately went back to wearing them regularly. Y'all (able bodied people) have nothing to lose by trying to wear one more often but ALL of us benefit from it

If you haven't been masking, give it a try. What do you have to lose? Just wear one in crowds and on planes, trains, and buses. Find a style that fits, so you don't futz with it. You don't have to get sick all the time.

So, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

i love how persona 3 and 4 reward filling out the compendium with broken af personas like black frost which has: no weaknesses drains fire and ice attacks repels dark attacks guaranteed 6+ level s-link high base stats and skills

not sure why it took my playing through the entirety of P3 and most of P5R to realize how broken physical attacks are lol, Chie's rampage carries for the first 8-10 floors of Kanji's dungeon and gale slash is really powerful once you level up enough to get a persona with it

what the fuck was atlus thinking when they made shadows go first even without an enemy advantage in persona4, I've had my entire team KO'd before i even get a single turn while the enemy doesn't even have a non hama or mudo weakness ugh.

My @repebble.com Time 2 has arrived! this thing is awesome, I've always found smart watches to be annoying and boring so when i found out the pebble was being remade and with with heart rate i was sold immediately. huge thanks to repebble for sending me a red band free of charge when i ordered black

what better time for my 5+ year old ssd to corrupt* my root partition than right when i can't buy a replacement thanks to ai companies making them absurdly expensive 🙃 *i think?, none of my troubleshooting has helped since it won't boot after update & i don't have enough space to restore a snapshot

well it didn't black screen but for some reason deleting the old /var folder somehow both didn't delete anything and used up all remaining ~10GB of space i just freed up by deleting pacman cache so now i can't do anything while simultaneously btrfs checks that will run show no errors...... aaaaaaaaa

I've heard a lot of people talking about GIMP today and -- yeah that program fucking sucks lol. also 99% of open source is done effectively without any payment and is usually thankless too so remember that even GIMP despite being terrible is still something countless unpaid hours went into making.

It seems like it might have just been a full root partition. I've moved /var to a separate ~100GB partition and added it to /etc/fstab and am currently deleting the old one on root now that I've confirmed the new /var works properly. Hopefully cachyos won't black screen after i update it this time.

why does windows have to make it such a pain to update applications, even using winget an upgrade --all still takes forever and is way buggier than it ever is on linux with a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade or sudo pacman -Syu

Bambu Labs has trying to be Apple for 3D printers while building the entire ecosystem on open source software and while they're dominating the market they are also pissing off everyone who does 3D printer shit because the overlap between that community and right to repair people is a circle
