In case anyone was curious about my social media handle

I like how putting these together blends the meanings, and how it evokes the idea of the parasocial.

Launcher 10 on Android at least makes the start screen awesome again.

I've been to Coachella. AEW shows are way more exhausting.

Sawyer @par0silience.bsky.social · 2d

I've criticized the length of the shows plenty. As a TV show, fine, you can pause, come back later, sure. As a *live* experience, AEW goes longer than any other event I've ever experienced. All Out was over seven hours in total. Their tapings are often four or more hours. Its a lot to ask.

As far as I know it's the main reason the GO exists

Love Bullet is a lovely new manga find

And then, make blood and guts be where they set up the first champs.

Those tag belts would have been 100% more interesting if the team number was flexible. Make it work with any number.

said blog post. Initial impressions of some weird tech!

Initial Thoughts on switching to android, the Samsung Fold 6, and the Classic Watch 8

The General Situation I picked up a used Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 for $1080 CA in September 2025. The device retailed for $2500 CA just a few weeks prior, and then was replaced by the Fold 7 for the s…

It's giving Archie mail-in x ray goggles

Sawyer @par0silience.bsky.social · 7d

I think that's what's pushing me towards builds that centre around casting. That feels like a very different game

I believe in hat kayfabe

it's actually *more* steps to make an audio file than a video file, somehow.

Sawyer @par0silience.bsky.social · 7d

it's kind of my one gripe with Hades II, actually. I love just about everything about it, but it's a game about playing the same game again and again. Hades already was its own sequel.

Sawyer @par0silience.bsky.social · 7d

You Chose Poorly became video because I was recording with OBS anyway, and it was easy enough. The whole pipeline of uploading to Spotify and Youtube seems to *want* video, as well. But yeah, I can't really imagine wanting to watch any particular podcast.

The advantage wrestling has over nearly all other tv is it's regular time slot. Moving around is the worst thing they can do

Level four is mean! Surely the final boss must be right around the corner

Sawyer @par0silience.bsky.social · 7d

As someone who rebogs and posts occasionally but mostly lurks, my time on Tumblr is generally more fun, relaxing, and informative. The other social media platforms usually leave me stressed out.

Sawyer @par0silience.bsky.social · 7d

Beat the third Hades boss. That's almost near the end right?
