I've been reading *Mujina Into the Deep* by Inio Asano, a dark cyberpunk manga set in a Japan where human rights can be sold, leaving people open to exploitation and violence. German cover warnings: 18+, child abuse and infanticide. Next time someone says manga is for kids, I'm showing them this.

Four Dawntrail Relic Weapons done! ⚔️✨ ✅ Paladin (Tank) ✅ Viper (Melee DPS) ✅ Summoner (Magical Ranged DPS) ✅ Machinist (Physical Ranged DPS) Next one will be a healer weapon. Five roles. Five relics. One very questionable definition of “playing casually.” 😌 #FFXIV #FF14 #GPose

I guess this is exactly the kind of bullshit we have to put up with now that the former president of Microsoft’s CoreAI has been put in charge of Xbox.

qtp with a female character you love ❤️ Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. A tragic past, yet she still manages to hold her own among the Bebop crew. Definitely one of the first characters who comes to my mind.

Got myself a cool new hoodie in #FFXIV! ✨ But suddenly, I can’t shake the feeling that someone or something is watching me... Weird. 😱

"Milka" is a portmanteau of the original two main ingredients: "Milch" (milk) and "Kakao" (cocoa). In the present day, sugar and cocoa butter have replaced them as the main ingredients. And they wonder why kids aren't as healthy as they were. Also it should now be called "Sucbutt"

After weeks of grinding, questing, and queuing for duties, I finally finished my first Dawntrail relic weapon tonight: the Phantom Twinfangs Occultum for the Viper! ⚔️✨ What a journey. #FinalFantasyXIV #FFXIV #FF14 #Dawntrail www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgv7...

He escaped to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... R.I.P. Tim Curry www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Sq...

Telling our grandkids that you could pay for a software once, use all its features, and keep it forever, will be our generation’s version of Grandpa telling war stories. “Sure, Grandpa. And I suppose it worked without an account, cloud, forced updates, or an AI button too.” It did, Timmy. It did.

I don't usually swear in correspondence, but I also got #Sony #Playstation 's passive-aggressive ToS reminder amid the upcoming boycott over its discontinuation of physical media. This goes out to the company that mocked MS at the Xbox One launch for its anti-consumer push towards always-on DRM.

The leading office hypothesis: Danish isn't a real language. It's an elaborate prank on Germans to confuse us that got wildly out of Hand and now they are stuck with it. Our Danish coworker has been trying to debunk this. Results remain... inconclusive. 🤷

Back in 2013, the Boston Marathon bombing was the first time I learned about a major incident on Twitter before the news. Today, Bluesky feels like it's crossed the threshold into being a real-time news source for me. Tough that's probably as much about the bubble I've built as the platform itself.

Me: "I need to create a nuanced, intricate, and eloquent #D&D character." Also me, five minutes into session one:

Shojo manga magazine LaLa marks its 50th anniversary with a takeover of Shinjuku Station's Metro Promenade in Tokyo, 20–26 July. Interactive displays celebrate 34 titles, including "Natsume's Book of Friends" and "Ouran High School Host Club".

It's now 30 years later and somehwere along the way we both upgraded from '80s 250cc Yamahas to late '90s BMW 1100cc boxers. Here are two vector-style desktop wallpapers I made from photos of our current bikes. #motorrad #bmwmotorrad #motorcycle #motosky #RideOn

I choose to believe that The Weather Girls and Drowning Pool were singing about the same event. They just had very different emotional reactions when they wrote "It's Raining Men" and "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor."

I remember this. It was a scandal that rocked the national news!

We're in the middle of a heat wave, with temperatures reaching up to 40°C (104°F) here. I put together a simple heat safety slide that's now part of the rotating info display in our company's foyer. Here's the English version. (Apply local emegency numbers!) Stay hydrated, stay cool!

It's 2026. Windows Explorer still freezes when a network share is offline because the OS insists on repeatedly trying to connect while blocking everything else. At this point, a SQL injection taking down the USS Discovery in 2255 feels less like bad sci-fi and more like a realistic prediction.

One hour of sky, wind, and drifting #clouds, captured with my webcam, speed up a 100 times and folded into 36 seconds. Somewhere between the speeding clouds and the swaying landscape, Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" took over my brain. ☁️
