Dug out my old 3DS to mod it and I forgot how much I loved Streetpass. It's such a cool feature. Seeing the same people pop up on it multiple times really made you feel a kind of connection with strangers in your area. Wish they'd bring it back for the Switch 2.

We’ve been taught to fetishize convenience so thoroughly, and the costs have been hidden so effectively, that we seek convenience while unknowingly reinforcing the system that make us crave ease in the first place.

Catching up on some of the books I got for Christmas and just finished Dr. Strange: Fall Sunrise by Tradd Moore. What can be said other than that it's incredible?

Recently learned that battery "acid" is a base and have been going ham fixing all my old electronics that had AA's leak inside them by wiping the contacts down with vinegar. It's very satisfying.

Finally ditched my mechanical keyboard for a Logitech MX Keys S and oh my god it is so much better. Wild how like 99% of keyboard takes on the internet sing the praises of mechanical when my old one made typing an absolute chore and sounded like a skeleton falling down a flight of stairs.

A funny side effect of most Christmas songs being from the 50's is that this time of year makes me feel like I'm in a Fallout game.

Guy with an anarchy face tattoo standing over me on a crowded bus trying to measure out a specific amount of liquid in a dropper from a bottle labeled "LSD" while the driver lurches the bus back and forth. One wrong move and I'm going to have a very interesting day at work.

Been playing Jedi Survivor and (non-specific SPOILER) that betrayal was probably one of the most telegraphed I've ever seen but mostly because they make you like the guy so much that the entire time you're thinking "if this MF betrays me...."

Had an edible and watched Megalopolis last night. Incredible movie that left my face contorted like the victims of the Joker gas from Batman TAS the entire time.

How do we, as a society, put up with the existence of gas powered leaf blowers? These things are going to be my super villain origin story.

Was thinking about doing inktober this year, but the prompts are super uninspiring and I just got a tablet so I'm going to do as much #drawing as I can this month. Just kind of messing around with various tools here. One day I would love to learn how to really paint digitally.

Feel really bad for all the animals that have to drink water by lapping it up with their tongue. They'll never know the joy of just chugging a full nalgene bottle of ice cold water.
