^ that's me ^

I'm a man on a mission to see how much time spent playing video games is "too much", and how subtlety I can make a bad joke without people noticing.

The usual stuff:
he/him
Cis man
Pansexual
"Leftist"

I like:
Bideo bames
Astronomy
Memes
New friends
Philosophy
Music
Politics
etc.

Filling my head with fictional space politics so I have no room for real politics. I made a pirate empire and they're hilarious and make me happy.

#stellaris

Just got whiplash from an add for a shirt brand called untuckit because for a moment I didn't know what it was for and my first thought was "okay girl damn live your truth wait why is this on my tv"
Me playing as a genocidal empire in #stellaris after threatening every empire I meet with annihilation

So it turns out the rest of the galactic community was building an army to kill me and I lost. Oh well, time for something new.

I've gotta thing bigger this time, more evil, be a larger threat. I think I'm going with terravores, dead set on consuming all matter in the galaxy. That's a much larger threat; a swarm of rocks with mouths consuming the mountains and the earth, down to the core until there's nothing left.

Sounds like a blast 😃

Been on a huge stellaris kick recently. The most fun game that I'm very bad at, but I'm kinda killing it right now with my robot empire dead set on ending all life in the galaxy (determined exterminator). Right now I'm working on upping my unity so I can BE the final boss instead of fighting one (leaning towards galactic nemesis but might go with cosmogenesis idk).

Huge fun. Great distraction.

I started playing #starlink a few days ago and it's actually pretty good. It does the whole space sim song and dance but in a way that feels more like a video game than a very pretty spreadsheet. It's on a smaller scale so it's more rewarding to explore. The characters are fine, but I'm pretending this is a starfox game so I don't really care. A little annoyed at the toy spaceship gimmick since I'll have to find new weapons on ebay or something. But I'm enjoying it.

I don't know how I missed it but I recently hit a milestone on my bike. I've rode it 1000 miles in a little over a year. It's honestly a little emotional thinking back, not knowing if I made the right decision investing in an e-bike. Especially after getting hit by a car on my old bike, I wasn't sure if I'd commit to it or if it would just turn into another interest collecting dust.

But after riding through every season, weather event, and time of day, I'm proud I made it this far.

I feel so frustrated because I really want to rant to someone about voter suppression from the far left and how it only benefits the right, but everyone I know is either A) not a leftist or B) might be the kind of leftist to defend that brand of voter suppression. I don't even know who to complain to that I'm frustrated about not being able to talk about it! So I threw a dart at a board and it landed on mastadon, so here you go. /complaint

It was a little dongle that lets any guitar controller work with any console. Without a console restriction, I did a little digging to see what is considered the best guitar controller overall, and I was very surprised to learn it was the Wii controller I already owned! So I returned the $130 Fortnite event guitar, and now I've only spent 20 bucks on the dongle. It even has a nunchuk port, so it can be used with Wii controllers.

Sometimes technology is just magical to me. 2/2

I decided recently to rekindle an old flame: Guitar Hero. I bought a GH game for the first time in my life (my parents bought the ones I own for the Wii over a decade ago) because I heard that Warriors of Rock might be better than GH3. Decided to get it for an HD console and splurge on a new guitar controller. Riffmaster was recommended to me, so I got the Xbox version of that controller. It didn't work on the 360 though so I had to trouble shoot, and I found something magical. 1/2
