Evil sci-fi lynx overlord, not very good at being evil. Hyperfixative nerd. Tweets about cats and old computers a lot. Sometimes NSFW. Please eat responsibly.

Do you ever just wish you were a spotty tufted cat and could go mrow mrow mrow at people all day

My only complaint thus far about the new Bubsy game is the lack of a dedicated meow button like the other cat games 🐱

Rapidly losing confidence in my 3d printed Atari case. 😕

As expected the superglue left a nasty residue and so many parts don't quite fit together properly.

Finally decided to start cleaning out all the 20+ discord servers that I haven't looked at in years

I just happened to find some cyanoacrylate glue in a drawer, I must have bought this stuff at the comic shop years ago and totally forgot about it until now.
Think I'll give this a try.

I'm still waffling around if I should use 3D Gloop or JB Weld for my 3D printed case.
Skimming Reddit has me second guessing myself.

Discord consensus seems to be JB Weld is better

First meeting of the MN retro tech club 😃

Cyrus @cmdrcyrus.bsky.social · 7d

I need to find a free website designer program that still uses web 1.0 HTML format for building the retro tech club website

Maybe if I could get my childhood PC working again I could remember the program that came bundled in

My new dental crown feels funny.
Not in a painful way, just a weird texture to feel in my mouth. Like I got a plastic tooth.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

Gross, all the computers at work got force upgraded to Windows 11

Shit. I'm permanently deferred from donating plasma because I messed up a questionnaire a few weeks ago.

That was the only way I was making ends meet while I was unemployed and with my current crappy job.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Not a day goes by that I don't secretly wish for the economy to crash so that my debts are null and void, and the rest of the country can deal with its decades of pent up rage

Tell your favorite artists you love their work

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 11d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
