Doing a chaos Ironman draft at a friends where you draft from random boosters and any card touching the graveyard or exile is permanently removed from your deck - have to replace cards with a new booster each round. Super fun, certainly changes the meta XD

Table with stacks of Magic the Gathering booster packs and playmats with several people surrounding the table

Went to take Winnie for a walk and saw this massacre on the back of our car. Coming back from the walk the culprit had literally returned to the spot on the trellis above the car: chonky squirrel just noshing on fruit and letting the rinds drop onto the car XD

Trunk of a car covered in little chunks of fruit and peel

I did chilli science for the first time today and it turned out really solid, but now I'm doing chilli math to try and figure out how I can make it even more efficient economically.

A google docs spreadsheet listing out ingredients, their total cost, how much was used, and breaking down the total cost per serving compared to a single 15oz can of premade chilli from the store

Entering my unemployed house-husband era: sausage chocolate-chip pancakes that will hopefully reheat well for breakfasts during the week :D

A stovetop with two pans; one with sausage crumbles and the other with pancake batter poured over bits of cooked sausage

A pan with an almost fully cooked pancake, sausage can be seen cooked into the batter

Thanks for reminding me to uninstall outlook from my phone, you smarmy looking motherfucker

Screenshot of the outlook calendar widget on iPhone with a smiling bearded character gesturing to a blue shield icon. The words below read “Your organization has blocked your account”

We also had a friend who gave an amazingly unhinged presentation on Gabby’s Dollhouse

A slide saying “The Seven Deadly Sins” listing “Sloth - Pillow Cat (she’s always sleeping)”, “Greed - Cat Rat (Shiny is mine-y)”, “Gluttony - Cakey Cat (always making food to eat)”, “Wrath - Carlita (she is often shown as aggressively competitive)”, “Lust - DJ Catnip (exciting the passions, references to drug use)”, “Pride - Baby Box (self-sufficiency through crafting, creation)”, “Envy - Kitty Fairy (she lives on the outside of the dollhouse looking in and she has hardly any episodes)”

Laid Off Dev Diary: Day 1 - returned equipment and spent most of the day preparing for hosting a PowerPoint bday party tomorrow. Also after over a year in this house the guest bathroom finally has a mirror!

Me taking a picture of myself in the newly hung up bathroom mirror. Our dog, Winnie, is poking her head around the bathroom door to see in

Also, obligatory first picture of Winnie on the day we adopted her

a small brindle formosan mountain dog lays on a dog bed looking up at someone off to the left of the camera

Garrett Jones@supersamuri0987· May 5

It’s Winnie’s 10yr adoptiversary and we took her to the pet store to let her sniff around for treats - both of which she has promptly rejected once we got home XD

A brindle formosan mountain dog sits and stares at the camera. Nearby a rawhide stick and chunks of another treat sit untouched and ignored while she begs for treats

This show was so much better than it had any right to be. One of my favorite musicals that I’ve seen live XD

Even ChatGPT was like "Don't do it bro" - literal business genius

Screenshot from reporting on the Krafton lawsuit for fired Subnautica 2 devs. Clip reads: "On June 2, Park warned Kim over Slack that a 'dismissal with cause' would not eliminate the earnout obligation, while exposing Krafton to 'lawsuit and reputation risk'. And so Kim turned to ChatGPT for help. When the AI chatbot responded that the earnout would be 'difficult to cancel,' Kim complained to Park"

Sure…yeah, snow. The weather has been so fucking wild this last week

Ancient pickup lines: I have grown fond of the quality of your lumber"

Screenshot from the game Old World. A UI pop-up describing an in-game event says "An emissary from Rome stands before us. 'Our artisans have grown fond of the quality of your lumber. We seek Peace in order to ensure that our trade with your nation grows and prospers.'"

I've been blowing through a bunch of my games backlog during the holidays and I started Pentiment today and...I'm very concerned that it wants me to know a whoooole lot more about medieval europe, philosophy, history, etc than I do...

screenshot from Pentiment of a dialogue bubble saying "The Englishman William of Ockham gave us the Summa Logicae, arguing nominalism against Platonic realism."

The fact that this is a labeler option is so fucking funny to me XD

Screenshot of a Bluesky post that has hidden an image due to it being auto-labeled as “sensual alf”. It has the option to show the image. Below it says “Labeled by @skywatch.blue”

Too real

Screenshot from the video game Q-Up. Bolded text says "Session 2: Food Awareness / 10:30 / Gettysburg Cafe" Below this the line says "As the saying goes - game developers are machines for turning free food into daily active users."

And for a better picture of what it looks like in the light to compare

A light fixture hanging from a tall ceiling. It has a curvy shape as though you took a plus sign and filled it with fluff.

Filing under “things Garrett’s brain really doesn’t need” here’s what I wake up and see above our bed at night…

Nighttime photo of a dark shape hanging from the ceiling that vaguely looks like a head and shoulders

Seattle when the aurora is happening:

graph of cloud coverage every hour of the night titled "Cloud coverage tonight: Lower is better"

between 10pm and 4am there is a bar for each hour and none of them are lower than 86%

It’s extremely hard to be mad at them because they’re so fucking cute but goddamn are they putting my bird feed budget through the ringer XD

A squirrel perched in front of a bird feeder camer with a peanut in its hand raised up to its mouth

Garrett Jones@supersamuri0987· Nov 10

Tried a couple of things to dissuade the squirrels from using our bird feeder including mixing cayenne into the seed and apparently they love that shit…

Garrett Jones@supersamuri0987· Nov 5

Wooh!
