Mostly gaming, but with a focus on retro gaming and tech. Just moved from a generalistic instance.

Things are starting to take shape... If only modern A4 paper boxes weren't so flimsy. They are great for stacking and carrying stuff on the trolley, but a lot of duct tape is required to strengthen them so that they won't come apart due to how little glue is holding them now.

I miss the nineties, when the they were made of double undulated cardboard and hold together with staples. Good for people that reuse boxes, bad for the environment, though

BYOC: Bring your own computer
BYOL: Bring your own lager (and stop freeloading my portable fridge)
Mousepad for the LanParty (because I don't want to risk dirtying my Steelseries). At 800x350mm, maybe I went a bit over the top. Let's hope it fits...
New keyboard The phone camera fails to get the colors right (same as always with Samsung), but... It should still be obvious.
I began ordering happy meals instead of the normal burgers because those are too big for me, but the toys are becoming a problem. I have no idea how to get rid of these other than throwing them to the trash. Maybe leave them lying around in park benches where parents go with kids in hope someone will pick them?

"I'm letting you pick the console and games for the coop session".

And he had to say "Contra III: The Alien Wars". Now I have to "git gud" at it in two weeks. Argh.

The Summer Games Done Quick 2025 schedule is screwing me like it never has. Around the evening / night time in europe, I get 4 hours RPG runs. I like Pokémon runs, but I don't have the stomach for another Scarlet / Violet race.

Honestly, I think the VOD viewership statistics are a better success metric than the live viewers.

Not sure if appropriate for work, but we are on the third heatwave so far, I'm out of clean tees, and I don't have enough dirty laundry to use the washing machine without wasting water and energy.

First day I managed to get back home without sweating, and I end drenched in sweating from doing home chores in the evening.

Summer sucks, yet I still refuse to install AC. That will only make the global warming problem even worse. And speaking of warm, no streaming until the weather improves. My ancient second screen runs pretty hot, and I don't trust myself to not swear like a sailor when the heat gets to me .

But anyways... Let's finish wiring the PC. Yesterday I tool everything away to prepare a mockup setup for the LanParty, and I just could not put everything back without cleaning where the cables usually reign.

Oh, wait. When did they model the Shambler's teeth???

I never noticed it until I was able to get close to it when summoned as a familiar.
