@caseyliss Noticed an odd thing with dates for Lion King 1 1/2 in Callsheet just now. Haven’t yet had a chance to dig in to where that 2012 date being pulled in from for that detailed view. Perhaps some kind of home release?

Love the app and I keep recommending it to people. Happy to submit this info some other way if it would be preferable.

@overcastfm Really loving the new stats (and the 48 hour history!). And very happy to pay the increased price at renewal. It's long overdue!

I'm curious though: Other stats look about right, but I'm pretty confident I didn't listen to Doctor Who Flashcast for 123 hours this year. Maybe a bug in logging at some point where pauses got tracked as playtime? 🧐 I do love listening to @ThatChipGuy and @jsnell talk about Doctor Who, but I'd probably bail if they were doing 10+ hours per episode. 😅

I tend to keep my computer's desktop very clean, with only temporary but unimportant scratch project files and drives displayed (internal & external storage + automatically mounted network drive). Every month or so I remember to delete and/or move to permanent storage whatever leftover scratch files are there.

This one is a keeper prompted by a random dinner discussion with a friend's family, then never shared anywhere.

My new transparent purple Analogue Pocket getting its orientation run in good company. (I like it when looking at it alone, but I’ll admit I wish its purple coloring packed more punch. Purple is my favorite color but I sort of regret not going with one of the brighter colors, which all look much more saturated in the promo materials.)

At 37 years old I now own my first piece of official Mattel Barbie merchandise. It’s properly fuzzy as in the movie (unlike all the fanmade ones people were selling immediately). Pre-ordered 1.5 months ago.

I’m 13579 days old!

Back in 2016 some time I decided on a whim to punch a bunch of arbitrary number milestones into a “days after” calculator with my birth date as the starting point, then put them in my calendar to give myself random fun surprises for the next few years.

Today was the last one I entered that day and I’ve enjoyed these enough over the years that I’m absolutely going to put some more into my calendar soon.

I highly recommend doing this for yourself.

🎵I want to push you around🎵 (with the force).

For Dragon Con Sunday I followed up yesterday’s straightforward Beach Ken with today’s Kylo Ken. Really proud of how this came together, even if it’s not especially pleasant to walk around in on a day hitting the upper 80°s. 🥵

And of course I had to stop a passing Spider-Gwen to get a Ken & Gwen pic!
My DragonCon cosplay for today is a straightforward Beach Ken. Tomorrow’s is a Kylo Ken mashup. So far I’ve seen or heard about 3 other people doing Barbie/Star Wars mashups, but all different from mine. Really hoping to see more on the same theme tomorrow to stop and get pics together!

Really hard to overemphasize how delightful the Playdate is as a handheld time killer. The perfect way to wait for the DragonCon parade to start. Really nails that game niche that has moved from handheld systems to phones, but phones don’t actually do especially well. And so pleasantly portable.

I’ve had mine since April 2022 and it continues to be one of my favorite gadget purchases (as someone who buys way too many gadgets and game devices).

Thanks, @playdate!
