Just a guy wot does the photos, writes and draws sometimes.
While mowing the wildly overgrown lawn yesterday I ran over this baby blue tongue skink. I was so relieved he was unscathed!
I picked him up, we had a moment, and I put him in a safer place across the yard.
Blue tongues are so cool. There are at least two adults living in my back yard.
A recent joystick purchase didn't fit my Sega arcade control panel, so I whipped up a 3D printable copy of Seimitsu's SE plate for 40mm sticks.

Had the very fun experience of an ambulance trip to the ER here in Japan. Kidney stones.
Don't do it, kids.
Great experience tho. Excellent EMTs and the staff at the hospital worked very hard to meet me half way (more like 90/10) on the language barrier.
This, so much this. Mastodon's real future, IMO, is a handful of large instances run by deep pocketed entities, and a handful of very small ones that churn in and out of existence.

As someone that is running their own PDS, has...

I recently received one of Taito's Egret II Mini joysticks, and I tore it apart almost as soon as I opened the box.
It's really cool inside! New stick mechanism, 4- and 8-way stick lock, Windows and MiSTer compatible.
Incredibly well made. Have a look!
lol, get fucked Canon. I'll scan my porn with your devices if I want to.

I go shopping. I wear a mask. One other person does the same.
But covid, fucking covid. The penalty for getting this wrong is just huge.

The screenshot is from a different, forgotten source, but gosh it resonates with me.
I can't really understand how Powerwolf, a metal band fronted by an opera singer, could do a cover of Alice Cooper's Poison, and make it so lifeless and flat.
