(2026-1/365) I'm starting the 2026 version of #blueskies - a thread with daily uplifting stories, good things happening in the world, or personal enjoyment, meant to be a break from life's challenges. Let's start with this dedicated educator of 61 years who inspired many. www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

There's lots of important things to talk about on social media, but there surely is room on here for Halloween Candy discourse and my controversial opinion that candy corn is not so bad, actually.

I was fortunate to work at BioWare, a storied studio, and one of the most amazing IPs in STAR WARS. At BioWare Austin I knew wonderful people, many of whom have moved on to doing amazing things, and who I still consider friends. I have ink to commemorate my time there. I'll always remember it.

As a big nerd and an IT professional, best post to start my day of having to patch a bunch of stuff.

hi my friends, no longer working at BitBot- will still be playing Knock Off ASAP and wish the team luck! that said, i am looking for work! open for Events, Game Production, Project Management, Live Broadcast Production, Community, Social Media & Marketing, or Voice Acting! 👋🏽 judyjetset.carrd.co

Every year the people who create food for sports stadiums get more unhinged about what they cook up yet there is still at least one of those culinary goblin creations I would probably devour happily. This is 2026's.

#Dreamcatcher UAU heads over to the US in October, Siyeon celebrates her birthday, and Handong continues her solo endeavors as Summer gives way to Fall. The latest on one of the best of 3rd generation #kpop groups is below! thelowkeygeek.com/dreamcatcher...

Deserved. I've got to get on that NG+ run for sure.

The strangest way I sell how lore dumps/story finds are one of the best parts of @remedygames.com 's CONTROL Resonant is to refer to the "itchy, tasty" story from Resident Evil. That was surreal, darkly humorous, and horrifying in its progression. That's rife in all of CONTROL Resonant. I love it.

One of the best parts about playing an open world action game like CONTROL Resonant or Ghost of Tsushima or whatever is how you can look like a total badass taking out 5 enemies on a building one minute then look like a total idiot the next killing yourself jumping off of it.

I started writing regularly again. I have a small, but faithful readership that takes in all my opinions on kpop, games, and community management stuff. I plan on trying YT videos because editing vids brings me joy and I might get successful. Definitely normalize chasing dreams when you're older.

Good to know this puppy who is much cuter than I am reacts the same way I do when I have annoying hiccups.

question for *senior* community managers... if you stayed in community: - what makes you stay? can be fun things but thinking concrete stuff like opportunities, new challenges, $, etc if you left community/pivoted: - why? lack of upwards mobility? lack of agency? lack of studio support? layoffs?

I finished up CONTROL Resonant, and @remedygames.com has delivered once again on their sci-fi plot work. Below's my spoiler-free reason I've been a fan for years: thelowkeygeek.com/control-reso...

It's the Great Pumpkin(s), Charlie Brown.

Highly likely we'll be getting @remedygames.com putting on CONTROL Resonant live karaoke at some gaming-related event or media content in the future. (IYKYK, I had so much fun and laughter for that mission).

Over in #kpop land, #Dreamcatcher projects are in full swing this Fall as tours and appearances continue into mid-November. Find out the latest on the group below! thelowkeygeek.com/chrocktikal-...

Gotta say, the company who printed that knows the deal.

Multiple #Dreamcatcher member #kpop projects are heading out on tour this Fall, and the content from Siyeon's band ChRocktikal and JiU, SuA, and Yoohyeon continues. Check out the latest from September 2026 below! thelowkeygeek.com/dreamcatcher...

My album review of South Korean indie band ChRocktikal's 1st mini album is below, and #Dreamcatcher Siyeon, Wonseok, Junyoung, and Gwanwoo bring late summer energy to their latest. #kpop thelowkeygeek.com/album-review...

This was one of those "I laughed at the meme but then went 'wait...' " moments, so I went looking. Memory Alpha says even though TNG never picked it up, DS9 novellas did, so between that and the captain's log they had to have told someone....I hope. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Conspir...

One of #kpop's most unique 3rd generation groups had a nice reunion recently as #Dreamcatcher showed up for one of their extended family, while new music is on the horizon with ChRocktikal. The latest is below! thelowkeygeek.com/dreamcatcher...

It's not exclusive to it in any way, but this one really made me laugh, because this is very much what happens in #kpop spaces with fans finding a new act they love.

Discord Bot update: the code is of course far from optimized and I saw that YT throttles rss feed scraping on its end, but now instead of returning the last video it can also return up to the last 5 in a list. Not too shabby I'd say.

People are finding out more about Dolly Parton recently, but the important thing to remember is she didn't spend too much time frequently posting/snarking about the worst of society - she just tried to make it better. Folks on here who spend more time doomposting than doing could learn that.

Folks are passing around the one chart regarding exam scores among Chinese students who do or do not use AI tools, but the source paper that contains it, at 58 pages, is worth the read if you can set aside time for it. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Saw that one person's odd "philosophical" question about LLMs, but it was framed better years ago on TNG: youtu.be/vjuQRCG_sUw Data is sentient. LLMs, which only contextualize based on self-attention seeking criteria and probability modeling, are not. Trying to connect or compare the two is silly.

Summer continues onward, and #Dreamcatcher UAU keeps their album promotions going on the home front and in China with lots of fan events. The latest on one of the best #kpop groups around is below! thelowkeygeek.com/dreamcatcher...
