Zero Jackal

Saw this "trending" and my furry-addled brain totally read it as "Nick Wilde named sexiest man alive" and just thought "Well no shit?"

Man, just beat Horizon: Zero Dawn again for the second time (been a while), and.. what a gut punch. Outstanding storytelling in that game with probably one of the most heartfelt protagonists ever. Looking forward to finally playing the sequel soon.

Finished a nice long rewatch of all of the Stargate series, and... man, it makes me sad that we had over a decade of some of the best science fiction ever, only to end up with a trash filled desert of the modern era. (Yes, Expanse was amazing, so was Westworld S1, but extremely few & far between.)

Man, I grew up with jolt cola as the original "energy drink", so seeing it back (but ONLY available in utterly disgusting "diet" varieties) is disappointing. Really wish America (and Europe in this regard too) would get over its fascination with using chemicals instead of food =/

Eight hours. I was doing contract work for various agencies, got hired for a temp-to-hire thing doing desktop PC repair / support. PRETTY sure it was a clerical error and they went with another agency, they had no clue what to do with me. Got paid at least, but wasn't worth it.

Rare double post, but the more positive side of the coin! Stargate SG-1 by a long shot (or hell Atlantis / Universe even, the entire franchise). It encapsulates all of the adventure (and some of the philosophical aspects) of Trek, but with almost no bad episodes. For comedy, probably KOTH.

People at work are being EXCEPTIONALLY lazy today, and trying to shove every issue my way as if I didn't do that all week already. Nope. Done. "Quiet quitting" for the day, as they say. If people want to put 0 effort in sending shit my way , they get 0 effort put back.

Sure, why not, I'll bite. Mass Effect came later in life, but the rest were pretty influential in some way. JA2 got me into tactical, BG2 served as my first intro to tabletop D&D, etc.

Don't mind me, I'm just a Fuck Jackal

Furries: Man, Twitter is awful and run by / full of fascists and trolls, people shouldn't use it! Also furries: Anyway check out my new art, which I post on Twitter. What? Stop using it? Why should I do that? I thought this was a 1 week moratorium.

One of my 'fav' furry archetypes: the self-chatter. Vomits a total non-sequitur into the void, nobody responds. Proceeds to respond to their own message 10, 15, 25+ times until the entire chat is just a stream of their consciousness. My man, if nobody was interested in the first 3 messages, stop

I am very tired. In general. Every single day at work is 20 different people coming to me with 30 different problems that has had 0 actual effort put into any of them. I ask people for simple tasks, either get stonewalled (cybersec people all suck) or outright ignored until it's a problem for THEM

*Opens BSKY* "What's the discourse for THIS week?" * "Third spaces for adults: Should they even exist?" * "Girls, eww" * Fandom fash supporter travels to hostile country "Yeah ok, that's enough internet for today.."

Picked up Elite: Dangerous again over the weekend since I hadn't played in ages. Flying around in my ships is neat. About two hours later I remembered why I stopped; good lord this game is boring as hell once you've seen most of the generated terrain planets. Lots of "stuff", but little to do.

There's always one dude at every job who has utterly zero life, and wants nothing more than to work every second of every day without downtime. This wouldn't bother me if they also didn't try to make it everyone else's problem. It's Fri before a holiday weekend. Stop messaging people for work!

It's a shame there isn't any 4DX release of Coyote Vs Acme. I think audiences would have really enjoyed being able to smell the coyote.

I saw Coyote Vs Acme this weekend (and again today) and everyone needs to go see it. Such a great, heartfelt movie that feels in the same place vein as Roger Rabbit. A perfect blending of toony and "real world". I would live in that universe

As far as I could tell, this place was only ever popular because they had a cute mascot. Nothing of value lost here, we have cute mascots at home. Hope they go under. And if it's shitty gas station cuisine you want, there's always Wawa.

Young Frankenstein. Love Mel Brooks movies in general, but I simply do not see the reason why people love this one. Watched it and thought it was boring as hell, and the jokes weren't all that funny, a real snoozefest.

This shit right here? This is why I have not watched any superhero crap since "Endgame" and likely never will again. I am not putting in 40+ hours of homework, watching a ton of slop, just so I can *checks notes* watch some new slop that's coming out.

I am extremely 'done' with people at work sending me messages that consist of nothing except "Good morning" or "How are you". If you can't be bothered to tell me what you need from me in the same message as your small-talk "hello", then I'm gonna assume it's bullshit and you get a response in 2 hrs

Seeing conventions open up rooms and subsequently selling out within *literally* 1-2 minutes is just a painful reminder of why I've given up on the idea of attending most furry cons anymore. "Lotteries" and whatnot don't help, the entire process is just stressful and sucks. Need more small events

I was watching RedLetterMedia's latest video on the awfulness that is modern Star Trek, and saw that @scrumpet.bsky.social totally got credited for a video they ripped off old VHS. Pretty awesome!
