I have made it pretty deep into this game now, though it has no real goal or end game, and I thought it might be worth sharing some random things I have picked up that were not necessarily obvious, or I missed because, like a lot of folks, I mostly skip tutorials. Basically, some … | Continue reading
I wrote a whole post on this show before watching it that I never bothered posting. It was basically, “People are bitching about the show without watching it, so I will “not bitch”… “anti-bitch”? … whatever, about the show, without watching it. In the end, it felt like pointless … | Continue reading
Is Marvel even still relevant anymore? They keep throwing out random shows like they are. Its not really clear where, if anywhere, Wonder Man fits in the “big picture”, he may even just be a random one off since this show is branded Marvel Spotlight. Werewolf By Night was also a … | Continue reading
I’ve picked up yet another “Cozy Game”, because this is apparently my nee favorite game genre. Palia, Infinity Nikki, Animal Crossing Pocket, probably a few others I have forgotten. Funny enough, despite several attempts, I can’t get into the big name game of this genre, Stardew … | Continue reading
Claude is pretty great for creating code, but sometimes you have to actually look at the code. I have blogged quite frequently about my Microblog project. It started as a simple script that just ran on a timer with a manually filled queue, then it pulled from my shared RSS reader … | Continue reading
McDonald’s has recently brought back Changeables to it’s Happy Meal toy line up. This is technically the 4th set of these with the previous sets being released in 1987, 1989, and 1990. So, thirty five years ago. Seeing as these are technically Transformers, they are popular with … | Continue reading
Part of the point of these dumb little entries is to be a bit motivating to you know, actually at least pretend to give a shit about things. But Jesus fuck its hard these days. I mean, have you seen the state of, just everything. Ten days into 2026 and the fucking gestapo thugs a … | Continue reading
I had a little unexpected project recently with my car. And one that went better than fixing the window, which just failed and resulted in a returned part and a window that no longer functions. I was adjusting the blower setting on the air conditioner and there was a stiff turn b … | Continue reading
I was a bit skeptical on Max Battles at first, but I find now, I really like them. They feel like raids with better mechanics, and they are just more interactive than just, throwing a ball. The design also feels right enough that the proper team make up can seriously make or brea … | Continue reading
Ok, lets start the new year off running, so I can sputter out in a day in classic fashion. This year is going to be great. Right? Right? … Ok, its, very very likely going to be terrible. I had a fairly productive Saturday today, I swapped out the ancient bathroom fan for a nicer, … | Continue reading
Its that time of year, when everything rolls over and everyone does wrap up and summary posts. I have done my music wrap up every year for a while now. I did it monthly for a bit but it didn’t change enough to be interesting to write about. Hell, it honestly doesn’t change much t … | Continue reading
So, I am.not a fan of PVP in Pokemon Go, better known as Battle League. Like, at all. However, there is a goofy Luchador Pikachu, locked behind Battle League, that I am a fan of. Apparently, the current season is some sort of special truncated season, which means that in order to … | Continue reading
I just want to throw out a fix I found for a problem with American Truck Simulator not closing properly. Its honestly stupid annoying because its been screwing up my Steam play time numbers, which I kind of really hate. Anyway, I found what seems to be an effective fix, though I … | Continue reading
Kind of feels like an odd line up this week, and I am trying to “encourage” myself to post more individual posts on some things, like gaming. Gaming I actually have been playing the LEGO Fortnite a fair bit. Primarily with some sandboxy elements on, so I can quickly build little … | Continue reading
In classic fashion, I’ve done my 1 month subscription to Fortnite Crew. That is, it ends on the 27th,, and I’ll maybe resubscribe in January sometime for another month. Generally speaking, this works out to a crazy good value. I’d already unlocked the previous pass items for … | Continue reading
Normally this time of year I would be doing Advent of Code. This year they changed the way its run, no leader boards, less exercises. The leader boards thing seems to be somewhat in retaliation for people using AI. It removes the incentive to get done super quick. They also kind … | Continue reading
Aye, I kind of have things to ramble about this week. Gaming I started on UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves. Its been on my list for a while. Its, kind of super awesome. Big chonkey robot combat, super cheezy old school anime plot and moments. I feel like the controls … | Continue reading
Something I’ve tried to do, then forgot I was trying to do, for while now, is to optimize the images across the WordPress sites I have. It’s actually just this one for me, and my wife’s two old blogs she no longer really uses. There are a variety of plug ins that do this, I be … | Continue reading
I wasn’t going to bother posting a wrap up this week, not a lot going on really. No new music, no new toy stuff, I already wrote twice about my microblog code project (That’s two links there) In boring life news, I went and finally set up an annual check up with a new doctor. … | Continue reading
So, I wrote this, or at least, something like this, then sat on it for months, and now its out of date. Its GROTESQUELY out of date. The new/current system is way better thanks to this thing I had AI build. Its also a process that has sort of, evolved over time. It was a digest t … | Continue reading
So I wrote a post a while back about my sharing workflow from Fresh RSS. Basically, as I read stories in my RSS Reader, I tag anything I find interesting. Then, sometime.on Friday or Saturday, I run a script that pulls all those stories, asks if I want to add commentary, and adds … | Continue reading
I picked up a few theories in the Star Trek sub reddit which honestly fit well, one I had already considered. In the interest of less obvious potential spoilers up front, I will drop them in between Episode 7 and 8 below. Episode 7 I feel like I missed something in the flow of th … | Continue reading
I feel like there was SOMETHING I wanted to ramble about in this little opening bit but I can not for the life of me remember. Fairly busy week at work, but I don’t really like to discuss work here much. Toys Big boy Omega Supreme came in. He is big and pretty sweet. Bigger than … | Continue reading
I have been kind of wanting an excuse to go back to American Truck Simulator recently and they have a new little Halloween event going on, so it seemed like a good excuse. I think it ends November 15th. I meed to keep an eye out for the next sale on maps, because Illinois comes s … | Continue reading
It’s a Trove of Transformers Edition. Or something like that. I’ve got two main things this week, Toys and Coding, so we’ll go with those first. But first, in general random rambling. A while back I randomly wrote about my nice Water Bottle. I got it, last year I think, with some … | Continue reading
What a slow dull week. I am not sure its worth posting, but I should also keep up the habit I suppose. In personal life stuff, my wife finally got her test done on Tuesday, after being delayed/rejected 3 times due to not meeting the needed pre requisite numbers. The Doc basically … | Continue reading
Fortnite is so hit and miss with its special music events, which is extremely annoying because when they are good, they are really good, when they are bad, they are, really really bad. Daft Punk, thankfully, lands into the good. Unlike some of the previous music experiences, this … | Continue reading
Int he first three episodes we saw Khan and his crew’s early steps to setting up their colony on Ceti Alpha V, after being stranded there by Captain Kirk during the events of Space Seed. Quite a few of the characters got killed off during these adventures. We still have not seen … | Continue reading
Its been kind of a funny week as far as regular activity cadence goes. My wife is doing some medical stuff so I was off Tuesday and Thursday, mostly so I could drive her. The medical stuff isn’t anything major. Just some tests, but it required she change her medicine. The test al … | Continue reading
I have essentially completed my Digital Garden project. I say “essentially” because I am sure I will iterate more and its intended to be added to, pruned, and maintained. Its a garden. What is a Digital Garden? Honestly, its a bit nebulous, but its basically, a curated block of r … | Continue reading
If I were still naming these, it would be “Now For a Taste of Things To Come Edition”. Because there are at least 3 posts that will spawn from the stuff talked about here, and I randomly re-watched Mortal Kombat, which is a goofy crappy film that had that line in it, but the soun … | Continue reading
I had a bit of time to kill at my parents house recently while waiting for my brother and remembered my mom had asked about this old jacket of mine they have hanging on a hanger in their hodgepodge room. I forget exactly what she had asked, she wasn’t around at the time to check … | Continue reading
Yesterday, was a fun time, I went to the Springfield Route 66 Car show with my brother and nieces over in Springfield. There is a gallery of photos I posted yesterday, If you are in to that sort of thing. It was a nice fun change of pace. Music A couple of fun music things. One, … | Continue reading

I’ve posted a few simple AI created scripts here in the past few months. Generally these are simple automation tools. Convert X format to Y format. Post some links to social media. Not every project is a winner though and I’ve found that in many cases, the more complex things get … | Continue reading
Star Trek has put out an audio drama podcast recently, and since I listen to a lot of Podcasts, it seemed like an easy thing to just add it to my line up. Just a note, for this, I’ve been jotting down some thoughts as each episode releases, so some earlier speculation may end up … | Continue reading
Day to day life has not been exciting this week. No special events or activities. I did do a lot of progress on my bookmarks sorting project. I think I have mentioned it before but I am.slowly sorting all the thousands of bookmarks I ha e in Firefox into a sort of Digital Garden … | Continue reading
I don’t have a lot to say here, but it’s worth saying, because all of the solutions I found online, did not work, but I found the issue, or at least my issue, and it was what I suspected. I kept getting issues with updates on my Linux PC, specifically related to MYSQL/Maria 8.0. … | Continue reading
Or, adventures in vehicle maintenance part 2, or something. Also yes, it’s been 2 weeks I mentioned previously, that I had push mowed the yard because the mower was acting up. I went ahead and changed the oil and oil filter this week. It’s not super hard to do, but it did involve … | Continue reading
I almost didn’t do one this week, but why not, it’s also the end of Blaugust, so let’s throw something together. It’s supposed to be “What I learned” week, but sorry fellow Blaugistans, I’ve been doing blogging for ages, I am not sure there is anything I really can learn. Blaugus … | Continue reading
Daredevil on Netflix was one of the best things to come out of the MCU, though its questionable if its actually part of the MCU. Not to get into the weeds too much, but basically, there used to be “Marvel Movies” and “Marvel TV” as separate divisions. They had different heads, an … | Continue reading
Another week down for Blaugust, though I am not at all actively trying to reach any goal for that. I am not even properly promoting my posts in the Blaugust Discord. But now I’m pushing more filler t the bottom of these posts, with links lists that used to be separate posts. So I … | Continue reading
On my little list of projects, I mentioned a webcam set up. My wife asked me about something for monitoring the cats while we are out. The ideal place would be in the front room area. I have plenty of Pis floating around and an extra Logitech cam, but I also already have one Pi i … | Continue reading
Man, talk about some monkey paw ass shit. I have finally after wanting to do it for, a good while now, installed Homebrew on my 3DS. The process is relatively simple, or more it SHOULD be relatively simple. I followed this guide here. I’m linking that page instead of the actual g … | Continue reading
It’s Friday now, as I start to write this. I am off work, the first of many fridays off, because i never really go on vacations and have vacation time to use up. Since I’m the only one in my local office, I can’t really take like, a month off or something. I don’t know that I wou … | Continue reading
I’m going to touch on the entire discography here for Blue Sky Archives, it’s only 3 EPs, each with 3 songs, and a couple of singles. So it’s effectively just, one album’s worth of music. But first I want to touch on why the group is significant. It’s a precursor band to one of m … | Continue reading
I keep telling myself, one day I will have a more “healthy lifestyle”. I’ve made some attempts to move this direction for a while, but It never really feels like it’s getting anywhere. I go without soda, I try to eat less carbs, I walk more, I try to get myself to actually do wor … | Continue reading
Partly for my own organization (ha ha) I wanted to run down some projects I have been doing or hope to do soon. GOG Download Its taken like a week and a half, but I have finally finished downloading roughly 500 games, 2TB of files, for all of the games I own on GOG. I have even i … | Continue reading
