Learned from the hotwheels subreddit that the Pontiac Aztek has a little hat and glasses in the trunk as a nod to Breaking Bad, I looked at mine and it's there. lmao

Spent the weekend playing UT99 in a garage in rural Centrailia WA. It was pretty cold, but I had a really good time.

traffic jams

Everytime I try to use GIMP I hate the open source community, I remember when someone tried to fork it to make a more user friendly UI and got harassed enough to drop the project.

Vanishing Point

Never in my career did I have an exact skills match for an incredibly niche role, that I'm good at, and an internal referral, and still get rejected. I am taking this one really hard.

My chances of moving to Montreal are back to zero

NYTimes have always been mealy mouthed centrists. This is the headline when the Bolsheviks took over in 1917

New sidehustle, your fursona in UT99 and/or UT2k4

Yeah and it's gone through 3 creative directors, one of whom *died* and another who got fired for misconduct...in *france*

If I can't get work maybe I'll move back to Kansas and live with my parents. I've been thinking more and more of that as a possibility because there's no work anywhere.

first two LinkedIn posts I see are about people doing side hustles instead of jobs

It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food

I honestly see videogame's sliding into the place comics are in now: something that still technically exists but is way smaller and 98% of it is hobbyists.

I've finished Planet Laika, probably one of the best adventure games I've ever played. Right up there with Disco Elysium, probably. Yeah.

I can see OpenAI actually trying to crash planes and literally kill people so it can prove a point.

if he works at OpenAI or Anthropic, Don't fuck him

maybe I'll get back on tumblr who gives a fuck

Remember when Mitch McConnell's wife's sister drunk drove her tesla into a pond and drowned because she couldn't open the doors? and then like nothing happened?

holy shit www.craigslist.org/view/d/redmo...

Becoming a Seattle City council member, unseating Dan Strauss, and closing the Burke Gliman Missing Link by turning Shilsole southbound lane into a bike lane in the span of a week.

Nostalgic for a time when you'd gather around someone's laptop to watch fansubbed anime they downloaded at 720p

A bit of dark magic has appeared on Treats: the SparkEvo. It basically replaces points with a CDI by using another coil. I'm tempted because this is way cheaper than a whole new ignition system. hmm www.treatland.tv/sparkEVO-Pow...

"I'm not looking for a handout" actually, I would love a handout. I would be grateful and use it to it's fullest. And when I'm in a better position I'd pay that forward with a handout to someone else.

If you have a million questions in your job application form and the chachpa expires before I can complete it every time, then I cannot apply to your job and I'm not going to try 3 times

the most depressing slide I've seen in a while

Remember when Livvy rizzed up Baby Gronk? that was 10 years ago

No jobs to apply for, wondering if the "september surge" is over and now hiring will dry up even more as we head into the holidays. Great

The gamedev subreddit was never good but seeing it slowly go pro-ai because the moderators want it to be, oof, feels even worse.

My puchs clutch is fine? it seems like maybe it got loose off the crankshaft taper because i gave it the beans too hard. oh well, at least I don't have to buy anything for it yet (famous last words). it also has the smallest jet i have and is still running too rich so huh

Watching my favorite driver go from 4th to 31st due to bad luck makes me want to stop watching NASCAR forever.

found it very telling that the only cars that "You Can See everything" focuses on are cybertrucks, 2 shots of them.

I saw "you can see everything" in a theater. its a must to see it around people, so you can hear people gasp at moments and think "ok, I'm not crazy"

would not subject modern movie trailers to my worst enemies

really would like to use Seattle public transit and not budget an extra 20% time or do a bunch of research to see if there's a sudden huge reroute or service interruption before going anywhere

Hard to plan bus trips when the busses are always reliably 5 minutes late, but sometimes not

gonna try to see You Can See Everything. i have never seen any of Nathan Feilders stuff before

Getting this car to the starting line was the hardest Gran Turismo 4 challenge I've ever tried

I worked at a Sonic drive in for a single day. The wallet they gave me was 20 short, so at the end of the day they thought I lost 20 and I had to surrender all my tips. I quit after that

somebody finally looked away from their bloomburg terminal and glanced at a map

looking at costco gaming computers, some reviews from 8 months back mention the price, and it's $1k less for the same computer. yeeeesh
