Just some guy. Being a dude.
Hang on...

There's a new Xbox handheld coming out that's $1000?

And all current consoles have increased in price instead of coming down, this late in their life cycle?

And all the "exclusives" are coming to PlayStation?

And now Gamepass is $30 a month?

Wow! Xbox enshittification intensifies!

It's always fun when your company makes you change your password on a Friday so you forget about it by Monday.

This is only going to go one of two ways:

Godawful or extremely disappointing.

No in between.

All great points! AI could be a useful tool. As with any tool, using it wrong is dangerous. It’s like a chainsaw. Fine in the right hands, horrifying in the wrong ones. And right now, we're seeing too many Leatherfaces, dancing at the end of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

YouTube tricked me into using generative AI ✨twice✨, so I made a video on my personal channel to complain about it

It's hot out.

How hot?

That's the ground temperature.

A little over 65° in foreign money.

Oh boy! Correspondence school work books from nearly 100 years ago!

I have no idea why I have them.

Me, looking at video game prices:
Guess I gotta find a new hobby

Me, looking at wood prices:
Guess I gotta find a new hobby

Me, looking at food prices:
Guess I gotta find a new hobby

Me, staring off into nothingness, with the screaming silence of existential dread:
Yeah, I can make this work

Big wrench.

Tiny screwdriver.

I'm sure there's a joke in here, somewhere.

I'm doing my part!

There'll be no Canada bashing here.

It's crazy how a lot of things that happened in the Simpsons ended up happening in real life.

I think about that and wonder what's going to be next...

Well. That was unexpected. Probably should be connected and not just hanging out.

Also, how do I have three soldering irons and NO solder?

There's got to be a big, complicated German word to describe the feeling you get after waking up from a good dream, getting slightly melancholic when realizing it's just a dream, completely forgetting what the dream was, but then that feeling remains.

I mean, they came up with gemeinschaftsgefühl.

So, if the eggs don't exist, then they can't be expensive? Right? Is that the logic?

I'm sure there's a flaw there, somewhere...

Oh, don't act like you've never made a lackluster ham and cheese quesadilla at 2 am because you can't sleep and are severely dissatisfied with life, the universe, and everything.

did we ever figure out if being obsessed with right-wing grifters and reposting their insane, horrible shit everywhere would stop the rise of fascism? i hope it worked, because otherwise, everyone had to see it all for nothing

Me before: Why are these things so expensive? I could do that for way less.

Me after: They don't charge enough for these things!

Far from perfect, but never building one of these again.

When you do New Year's Eve on your own, you make your own fun. Cheers!

Now who's foolish for holding onto all these old cables? Huh? Huh!?

I didn't even know these things could break.

Been going through my old junk dropped off by my parents. In amongst the old school notes & projects, as well as the angsty and embarrassing teenage writing (which has since been mercifully destroyed), I find these! Remember pogs? They're back, in pog form!
