 I'm Melody, a Hawaiʻi ʻelepaio, currently nesting in Colorado, USA! Therian, Furry, Chirper.
🐭 And I'm Cookie! A mouse that's figuring herself out and sometimes squeaks.

 I'm also an adventurer, photographer, big into video games and repairing/modding old consoles, hiking, and whatever else I can get my wings on. Married to the wonderful @kenna_puppers. Professionally I build stuff that goes into space.

I've been slowly working on a 100% run of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, including the DLC.

I appreciate that it's confirmed that Kass can be a pretty bird~

I like doing cursed things to make computers do what I want.

So, after remembering too late that I had a pretty sketch install of Windows across two drives because reasons. One of the drives I wiped for dual-booting and I realized that when suddenly nothing was booting properly.

Anyways, I've got Cachy up and running! And, as expected, performance is great. Pihole is far happier not needing to block as much stuff trying to call home. Now I get to start trying all the programs and see what all works and what I need to keep Windows for.

As for the Windows install.. Well, I can still get back into it and nothing is totally borked. I'll take that as a win despite my best efforts.

AGDQ is a good excuse to update my game database. The total number is.. A lot, at 2,121 games. Steam and Humble Bundle makes up a significant chunk of that number.

The physical collection is still significant, with 616 discs and cartridges on the shelves. I've gotta redo some of the cartridge displays to work with the new shelving we got for the games, and maybe another bookshelf...

A fun thing about donating during GDQ events is that you never have to remember when the next one is because the charities send you a postcard reminder.

I'm always surprised by souls-like being so high in what I play, when I continually say I don't like difficult games. I think my concept of hard is broken.

Also, I have no idea how cats ended up in this graph. I played a whole two games with cats this year, and way more games with foxes. And significantly more with birds!

Five years ago today, puppywife and I got married. The county clerk found us so cute that she offered to stamp our hands, and we said yes.
And we still want to spend every moment next to each other every day. <3
Steam figured out that I might just like playing games with birds.
At the airport, unwillingly waiting to go back home to Denver.
At least I have a new friend.
This probably belongs on my photography account.
But also, birds need to see bird!
