they're trusting me with a sword what could possibly go wrong! five years of (ALLEGEDLY) meritorious service with Blizzard! 💙
I was just recently shared this paper, and I don't agree with everything in it (the last few pages are a wild ride), but I think the core idea is still very true and also still highly relevant. pablo.rauzy.name/dev/naur1985...
I love when video games have operational fake computers with websites, programs, email, etc! Fired up my Xbox 360 and put in Liberty City and finding there are internet cafes with usable computers in it is a joy.
I was training for a marathon in 2019 and was usually getting around an 8:40 pace for my medium runs. This was in Michigan (virtually at sea level). We visited Estes Park and I even still have the note from my little 5k shakeout run in Strava. Lopped a whole minute off my average pace. It's no joke!
heavy fog hangs over the city today, really nice walking weather, good breeze

Date yourself with a snap of your first ever compute: This is the earliest picture I have, but my parents probably have photos of me playing Commander Keen when I was a lot younger. The picture below is from a basement LAN party, December 2002. We played Quake2, Quake3, and Unreal Tournament.
a wary traveler seeking refuge from the heat in my abode. sorry friend. no shelter can be found here. mayhaps the next window over?
😎 I have been chosen... to spend money. Wait. (Happy of course. Will be fun to toy around with.)
My account is 22 years old and TIL that Steam goes out every Tuesday for a few minutes for maintenance. I've been dodging it for decades??? Genuinely impressed.
Forza Horizon 6 was my first Horizon game and honestly, what a joy! Chipped away at it here and there over the past few weeks and finally got the finally wristband. Total playtime: 34 hours.
Did a quick E1 run through this morning, decided to try the Doom RTX mod, guide here steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...
before & after texture pack, just crazy stuff (kidding of course, thats a picture i took today while on my lunch walk)
I remembered to cancel a trial subscription, please clap. Had family over and wanted to watch a baseball game. Our building recently cancelled its cable TV subscription and I hadn’t set anything else up yet. Luckily YTTV had a free trial. Unluckily I couldn’t even get the game we wanted anyway
