Finally got Bluetooth working on my new desktop PC. Who knew, that you had to plug in the WiFi antennas to use BT?! Not me. Anyway, along with my new PC, I bought Half Life: Alyx just for the occasion. Using my PSVR2 for the first time on PC. Look how uncool it makes anyone who wears it!

Randomly jumping in here, but I echo BPJ's thoughts. Also, person in screenshot does not have your wellbeing in mind, and it actually.. ergh – NOT to make a mountain out of a molehill – it's a little sickening that anyone could say that. Be careful who you listen to. They're objectifying you.

New game get! #FirstLight

Still gotta be well dressed for working from home.

Okay but why is the Right padding on the left, and the Left padding on the right? Why, @framer.com ? Why. Who hurt you?

Kristian@krisminsk· Mar 28

I saw this, and had to immediately mock this up in Figma. Making the buttons look more 'equal', deemphasing the blue might go some way to that end? But I'm sure a Bsky UI designer would say that primary buttons always have to be the same colour, I am probably breaking a design system rule here.

Plan to wear a new jumper this evening, and I managed to mix two varnishes on the first try to colour match it.

I find it interesting how, some of the best of design I think I've done for my current project have come from sudden inspiration I got after seeking out references. For the Blog page, I knew there's a 1000 and one ways to do it, but upon finding this on Awwwards, I instantly saw my way of doing it.

Blocky, colour blocks of dark grey background and very light beige cards for each blog post article link, with ample white space between the blog name and the cards. The cards have ample amounts of padding inside, around the content.

The blog page design I did in Figma, with similar use of large blocks of colour for the blog post cards, and a large, graphic arrow pointing to the right to signify linking out to another page.

Oh yeah hi. What I wore out last weekend to a drag show at a goth club.

Sympathy please and thank.

Hobbled to kitchen for tea, hobbled back to curl up and lay dizzy on the sofa. Was suddenly struck like a train by feeling sick and feverish. Cancelled my trainer. Hate hate hate, I want to work. 😒

Trousers went off the moment I realised I can't bare to sit at my desk anymore.

Trying something entirely different for my phone backgrounds. I think it looks hot on my phone. 👌🏼 store.rikoostenbroek.com

Hi 😊 Daytime and evening..time. It's been great having my own bike to get around quickly and regularly top up my fitness/stamina/leg and butt muscle strength ;3 Training with my trainer has been going really well, too. Feeling and seeing the difference is 😋☺️

So today my client signed-off on the design for their website that I've been working on for close to two months now, albeit with some minor adjustments here and there. Hehehe 👏🏼😁 I am very very excited to be moving on now to learning a new tool; Framer! But I am D E A D tired, so, gonna rest first.

Kristian@krisminsk· Mar 11

Um-ing and ah-ing about how to zhuzh up this stats banner I've made, and it took me maybe 40 minutes to arrive at a styling that, when I was finished, I recognised as something I did for Gwent 6 years ago. 🤦🏼😆 Sometimes you have to drive around the entire block just to take the same exit.

A balanced, 9pm working late for fun snack: Little's Coffee, lemon cake, and cottage cheese, because gains (hopefully) 💪🏼

Top down view of desk with wide, deep cup of coffee with milk, a plate of lemon cake slices and a pot of cottage cheese, with a keyboard and laptop off to the right side.

Feels very validating when my client gets external feedback on my work, but then still sides with me on my original intention. 🤗 I've really been enjoying working with them.

My Logitech Craft keyboard's spacebar completely stopped working :( And then this spare Microsoft Wedge keyboard I bought years ago also started having issues.. So I bought my first mechanical keyboard! ✨ #Keychron

Yeah, physical UI is always going to be superior to a digital one, due to the natural reliability of tactility. You don't need to look to use it. Mine is ~15 years old, but I haven't felt the need to replace it yet.

Switching off Night Light to accurately design colours. Left: Chill evening work, feels good. 😌 Right: ARGGHHH MY F&@#ING EYES

For the life of me, I simply cannot reason why Sony decided to eschew the universally agreed on off-white that every single white household object is made with, opting instead for a harsh, titanium white. I know they chose it deliberately. But I need to know WHY. What was the reason?! SONY EXBLAIN

The controller appears slightly blue in comparison to all the other white objects.

I'd be so embarrassed to publish something like this. Just why? And all the games released in 2025 that weren't nominated at all, are they the biggest losers too? Just so stupid. It's sad if this is clickbait, deplorable if they genuinely see the world this way.

Kristian@krisminsk· Dec 12

Yours could be wider, but not with that attitude.

Running a similar strat due to the sales. Probably on 1st, those games will be mine 🤗

goddamnit. I wish the Windows 11 calendar flyout wouldn't take up so much goddamn space. I've had it! O-fficially! It could easily be half the height, communicating exactly the same information, be touch friendly, etc.

I'm getting so good at recognising the AI generated websites, the two line excerpts are enough. 1. Answer is vague and noncommital – It's AI. 2. A person would not start a post with such a conversational answer like, 'The short answer is no.' 3. "This article delves" – I've already stopped reading.
