Quick pinned post so folks aren't just like "who the hell is this?" off-hand lol I'm Torrey! You probably know me on Bluesky as @interestingmtg.bsky.social. This is my personal, general account where I'll just post about whatever interests me Sometimes I look like the left pic, sometimes the right

Told my dad and stepmom about my graduation, and they said they would try to come down to Florida for it, and ohhhhhhh godddddddd

Today, in DD/MM/YY form, is 24/10/26, a Pythagorean triple, the last one this century apparently

Passed one of my hurricane-rescheduled tests (still waiting for a score on the second, but I'm confident about it), and I feel like I'm *finally*, actually back on track. Feels good

I have some really complicated feelings about BioWare closing, but what I don't have complicated feelings about are yet more game industry layoffs I really wish that shit would cease promptly

Found out that my college will be streaming our fall commencement in December via Facebook(???), so if you want the link to it around when that time comes, just lmk. It'll be a very precious moment for me, tbh

If any of you want to come to my commencement, just lmk

There is, inexplicably, a Scooter's Coffee where I live, and boy oh boy, am I over the moon that it's here sometimes They're out of my region of origin, and it's like getting a little taste of home when I get some coffee there. Comforting, lovely

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

I should be allowed to make "Daniel's Brew" the drink that has a fatality rate of 80%

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court agrees to review Reconstruction-era ban on distilling spirits in private homes.

I've been playing through Persona 3 Reload slowly over the past several months primarily on the Steam Deck, and real talk: The best way to play a Persona game is on a handheld system, by a WIDE margin

I have Bebop on DVD, and like, thank goodness for physical media. My internet has been down all afternoon, likely due to post-hurricane infrastructure work, but you know what doesn't care? The humble digital video disc

Still great, even after all of these years

Proof of life Not my greatest selfie, but whatever. Sometimes you just have to present yourself as you are, and I think I'm presenting just fine today

*This is a re-upload of a video that's a few years old. The latest Persona game it features tracks from is Persona 5 Strikers

Few things hit quite like the post-extended power outage shower. I feel like my humanity has returned

I FINALLY HAVE POWER AGAIN, I COULD SCREAM WITH JOYYYYYYYYY

Hours away from four straight days without power, so since I'm done with Devilman, I'm tearing into this next

Alright, so I ended up blasting through Vol. 2 (of 2) this evening, and like I'm going to need a minute to process all of that, good lord

Power's been flickering on and off over the last 45 minutes, and it'll probably be just off before too long, so I'll probably be offline until I can come out of Hurricane Mode. In the meantime, my storm reading some seasonally-appropriate comfort(?) food:

Finally finished this. Extreme, fun, and deeply strange read. Some creative choices made here that I don't personally vibe with, thinking of one chapter specifically*, but so it goes with art. If you're looking for a manga that's kind of off-the-wall, you could do worse. It's fun, if nothing else

Still don't have power back, BUT my neighbor and I got our yard clean-up done this morning, and I feel SO accomplished

Slow-roasted a frozen pizza over a fire pit this afternoon, so that's pretty cool (still w/o power post-hurricane)

Storm's passed, all good here! Also: I had forgotten about how low-key funny Devilman is, what an odd, odd manga /pos
