I found a museum near my house that has grimoires and alchemical tomes for your perusal. Also there is a casual grail here.
It’s called the Embassy of the Free
Mind if you’re ever in Amsterdam

I haven’t posted much recently due to illness and life being busy but I’m still alive! So here are some pics from some recent Dutch adventures I’ve had: Amsterdam Pride, Efteling, Amsterdam Sail 2025, and a bonus shot from Germany

Never thought I’d get to see a strandbeest in person but today I got to fulfill a lifelong dream to see (and propel) some of Theo Jansen’s amazing creations!!

Takahashi Keita’s new game To a T is so deeply trans-coded this can’t be an accident. From the unspecified gender of the (probably NB) main character to the opening song’s lyrics “I don’t know why I became a T. You’re the perfect shape” it’s a joyful celebration of being who you are

Uh so today we've created an absolutely unhinged prototype mashup of pinball and a twin stick shooter and it's such a cognitive logjam to actually play.
Maybe we should lean into it and add a bunch of distracting sounds and colors a la Lumines

Unfortunately my lack of psychopathy means that a career as a high-power CEO, cult leader, or politician is unsuitable for me, despite my very suitable skillset

Inspired by @delaneyking.bsky.social I took a bunch of personality tests at Psychology Today’s site and the results were pretty much as I expected - I’m shockingly well adjusted but also kinda depressed
Also the charisma explains why people just randomly open themselves up to me unprovoked

Took us till our 3rd game but the wife and I got our first win in Monster Train 2 last night
It’s still just as amazingly broken and perfectly balanced at the same time. No other game makes me feel like I’m getting away with something constantly like this series (and maybe Noita)
Perfect 15/10

Just your annual reminder that Eurovision is happening again very soon! Now that I’m European, I guess I gotta root for my home country (and C’est la vie is a great song) but also I suggest you check out Estonia and Ireland (if only for synth guy)

External validation has always been a way to exert power by those who give it. Sometimes it’s well-intentioned but a lot of the time it’s not.
