It's frustrating how many UIs misuse the "notification dot". You know if bothers me when it's there, so why do you make me read your self& promotions to get rid of it?

After being intrigued by the backstory cutscene in Shadow Generations, I took a small tumble down the rabbit hole that is the Sonic wiki and... wow. I didn't realize the Sonic franchise is a sci-fi epic, but apparently so?

I just finished the Sonic Generations half of Sonic x Shadow Generations. I'm not a huge Sonic fan, but I had a lot of fun with it. It's a real tour de force of Sonic history. And by that I mean it has Green Hill Zone and that level where you run down a hill from a truck.

Getting frustrated with Returnal. It's a good game, but very hard. I've fought the first boss 3 times and lost 3 times. And I've been killed by mini-bosses and plain mobs many, many times in between. I do want to persevere, but it's getting to the point where it's more frustrating than fun […]

LibreOffice is perfectly fine, but I honestly have found @ONLYOFFICE to be a far more polished drop-in replacement for Microsoft than Libre is

Don't let the desire for perfection stop you from appreciating imperfect but still good solutions.

Basically all I know about Returnal before I started was:
1) Sci-fi
2) Time loop
3) Roguelike/lite

But it turns out it's also pretty scary and psychological. Also, it's a bullet hell? I didn't even know bullet hell games existed outside of 3D, but here it is.

Muting people whose posts annoy you is free.

You don't have to justify it to them or to anyone else.

Reminder for myself and for anyone else who needs it.

So envs.net is shutting down their Matrix server and I don't think I've used Matrix in over a year anyway. I could migrate back to matrix.org, but I don't think I get enough value out of Matrix to warrant the effort. I can always revive my Matrix.org account in the future if I want to […]

One of the stealth changes I made to my blog was changing the contact email address. I was using a Posteo alias, but it cost €0.10 a month for an address that was basically exclusively being sent spam. Then I recently found out that Cloudflare does free email routing if you use them as your […]

You don't really get the full effect from the still, so I'm linking the animated clip from Sakuga Booru

I finished the second season of DanDaDan yesterday. 4/5 show overall, but it has some of the best animation/sakuga I've ever seen. I updated this account's cover photo to a still from the season 2 finale.
