Seeing all these new hoodie posts and eyeing my doorstep with anticipation 👁️

@aleen oof, my condolences. up until the past few years of mask wearing, I'd reliably get a nasty bacterial sinus infection every fall like clockwork

It’s couch computing time with Cheddars and Catsby #cats

You ever heard a bunny roar? It’s startling as all heck. (just kidding they’re yawning)

These bunnies are named Lady Buttercream and Lord Butterscotch, BTW

@mav @hacks4pancakes I really liked the Animatrix for getting me to sympathize with the machines!

Also liked the comics, especially Neil Gaiman's "Goliath" which featured tentacular space aliens throwing asteroids at the earth and the Machines waking someone up to go stop them

@WillemPenn@pettingzoo.co Unfortunately, yeah I've heard a rabbit scream :blobsadleft:​

Hmm, aimed to tinker a bit with my fedi-rings stuff tonight but a bit stymied by being unable to log into glitch.com

(hilariously, just as I write this, login starts working again :blobwhee:​ time for bed though)

Some strange things afoot at the Circle K though

@WillemPenn@pettingzoo.co oof, my condolences, we've lost a few buns over the years to both sudden ailments and old age. it's not easy

oooh, john waters is coming to town in the spring and we're gonna go see him https://www.portlandmercury.com/movies-and-tv/2022/11/22/46206765/john-waters-will-celebrate-his-77th-birthday-in-portland

Bought Cyberpunk 2077 super cheap awhile ago, finally gave it a try over the weekend. I was a big fan of the original TTRPG, still have all my source books.

The game is... alright? Awkwardly edgy in parts to the point of bad cringe. Game play doesn't seem like it improves much on, say, GTA5 or Watch Dogs 2? Braindance is a neat interface, if they would lose the flashy lights.

Oh, but a thing that keeps bugging the hell out of me in dialogue:

In Cyberpunk 2020, in relationships, the term "input" essentially meant "bottom" and "output" meant "top"

In Cyberpunk 2077, for some reason, they reverse these? So I keep hearing dudes talk about their girlfriends as their "output" (edit) and it took me a real long time to sort out that they weren't all talking about cyber-pegging.

@packetcat Yeah, it makes no sense the other way around IMO.

The Cyberpunk 2020 slang was describing the connector type. The point was that historically we've called connectors male & female. But, in the future, the tech is more important than humanity so we flipped the jargon. Not that deep, but still it's a thing

(also just realized I got the term wrong in that first toot, so mixed up. mastodon has edit now so :shrug:)

While writing a journal entry today, I just realized the word "prod" is the prefix of "productive"

I often have to prod myself to achieve productivity. I don't like it.

@thegibson @derek Now I want a crossover like The Five Doctors, where Bill and Ted show up.

The other Doctors are like, oh yeah that's just a couple of our regenerations hanging out together for awhile. Very dangerous with regard to time sync but it was a fun era.

@cd0 These are both healthy reactions IMO

@atomicpoet@mastodon.social I wrestle with this sort of thing from time to time.

I'd do what I do without followers, thanks to my intrinsic motivations.

But then again I don't post to my blog much in recent years because I don't get much interaction there these days. I still write, but I don't post it much of anywhere.

Not chasing lots of followers, but still looking for a bit of interchange with shared things

@selfagency RIP graphics always made me grumpy because I had a C64 and then an Amiga. I don't think either of those ever had a decent term program that supported RIP. When I finally got a PC, the web had already landed

Wait… Lisa Loeb and Tatiana Maslany are in a weird superpowers fiction podcast together?! https://www.realm.fm/shows/power-trip

So, I know that these things are the height of consumerist nonsense. But I have acquired several Freddies Mercury

Rather cold & drizzly for today's walk. I think the crows are starting to recognize me.

One followed me for about a block. I sprinkled out a little cat kibble and four more appeared from nowhere, all cawing away and descending on the snacks.

At the park, a couple escorted me around the walking path for a little bit before I found a dry spot to tip out some kibble. Lots of cawing and six or seven appeared to have lunch.

I hope to establish trade relations by spring

@lori Huh, you're the second person today I've seen talking about a Boox. You like it? I've got a 12-year-old Kindle that I keep thinking about replacing

@phlash They're pretty smart around here, I think I'd end up baked in a pie first
