When you're mean to a dev on patch day this is who you're being mean to (yes, Irvine has turned into the Misty Mountains for some reason)

For a bedtime song my toddler was insistently asking for "Unicecanmexxyhayheejamperu" over and over again and I had no idea what he was saying, but he kept repeating it, then I asked him to slow it down...
He was asking me to sing Yakko's World

Lunch before stuff gets truly bonkers at work: Got up to 3R/4L before dropping, but had 15m where I couldn't do the combo at all because I was trying to fix the 6H->3H thing and breaking my directional handoff.
Still haven't landed it in a real match, too easy to clutch on 5Hx2 once I get a hit.

Labbed it more tonight, got the 5 on one side so tried right to left and completely broke my brain (started getting M H 6H 6H instead of 6H 3H) but 6s1 >> M was way more solid when I pretend like I'm trying to plink dash macro into M.
My mental cue for the 55f pause is "stare menacingly" lol

Had to break out the frame meter to figure out why the intermediate corner carry combo (M H 6H 3H 6S1 >> M H H S2 S2) was dropping. Turns out I was dashing too early (you need to wait 53-56f before dashing) and then inputting the M out of the dash too late). Now to land it in a real setting!

Apartment complex randomly deleted my RFID credentials so I couldn't get back into the complex to get to my apartment? Not behind on bills or anything either, what the actual fuck.

Got homesick and flipped on an algorithmic playlist and got curious: is there a good resource that explains why country music song quality/themes have diverged so drastically between male vocalists and female vocalists? Are all the dudes who've got the chops going the Hozier route or something?

Happy Thanksgiving from our herd to yours!
The goat's Thanksgiving feast included these veterinarian-approved foods: mashed turnip, a side of baby food, pears, blueberries, long-shaved carrots, mocktails (muddled beet juice), willow, maple, and evergreen.

I'm thankful for all of my friends and coworkers who've been so kind this year. I'm thankful to have a job which is still creatively fulfilling after nearly two decades. I'm thankful for Galen and Clara who brighten my days in the flesh, and every other pet (both IRL and internet) I get to pat. ❤️🦃

Hi, I’m Matthew Seiji Burns. You may know me from such tweets as “They call him Big Hat Logan because he wears a big hat” or “Sam. It’s me, Die-Hardman. Wanted to let you know there's banana bread in the kitchen.” Check out my debut novel, about a guy who has a bad time.
Process takes readers on an intense psychological journey into the dark heart of Seattle’s tech startup world. The main character is a young man driven by an almost animalistic need to find outsized success creating the next unicorn tech juggernaut.
