Software developer. Nerd, in many forms. Perpetually trying to recreate the cloud on local hardware. Fan of lost causes. Recovering from 6.5 years in Big Tech. Into making patches now.

A thread of my ever expanding portfolio of patches I've designed. All created in Ink/Stitch and embroidered with a Brother SE700 machine (so far). 🧵
Honestly, at this point, if you have a Substack, regardless of the content, I assume deep down you're a collaborator at heart.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to my favorite table at the nazi bar, Substack, where I can talk with civilized people."
I’ve tried very hard to engage with people in this community over the last 36 hours, but it’s clear that the culture here is corrosive and not interested in debate. It’s too bad, because my “Doctor Gizmo’s Patent Snake Oil Cure-All” is well worth the money, especially in this midst of this plague

I've come to love the Phoenix Hawk IIC, and will continue to shout that it's mercantile malfeasance they didn't make a new version based on the PHX-1b 'Special'.
Huge thanks to @eldoniousrex.bsky.social for coming in clutch with one extra art-piece for the video I'm still working on right now lol.

#SteelViper fans, I hope, appreciate what's coming together for them. I think its 3 full colour pieces now for them alone in the PXH IIC video.

I think I'll stick with the "lucky place". 21% isn't bad, and it's a whole lot cleaner.

"Lower missionary ages will lead to lower marriage ages." is hilarious when you know the psychological bullshit they're running to keep you isolated as a missionary. But also, lotta missionary's meet their spouses that way, which is messed up.

I may not have ridden a moon worm, but I have ridden the Yamanote line in its entirety, and during business rush hour, and yeah, that's a bad day right there.

Anybody want to trade a Laserdisc player for a Panasonic DMP-BD70V combo Blu-ray VHS player? I have 6 extras...
Laserdisc is such a temptation to me, but in a kinda goofy way. I bought the original Star Wars LDs in Japan in 2014 from Book Off, mostly for decorative purposes, but it would be fun to actually watch them.

They haven't managed to win me back from all the last terrible things they did, and this definitely isn't going to get me to sign back up.

It's nice to feel a bit less cringe-y about my Dropkick Murphys phase.

Finally put all the pieces together for the full experience. I'd rather have a pod, but damn if this isn't fun. Also, head aiming for arms is taking a lot of practice but feels so cool!

I can't wait for this CBS/Paramount crap to end. I'm not watching while I have to worry Bari Weiss is going to pop up and try and convince me capitalism is good.

Funny, I don't see @marilynstrickland.bsky.social celebrating a successful vote on here today. Wonder why? She voted for it.

This should be a national shutdown
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

It's funny to look back and realize how much I loved it, but really used it as a guide for what I DIDN'T want my workplace to look like.

Also, I think if more people had played with the Jargonator in Dilbert's Desktop Games, they'd be less impressed with LLM's.
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job
