Playing 20-year-old isometric JRPGs the way they are meant to be played

Whooooooooof, fam.

[Benoit Blanc during a Reacher Christmas episode crossover] Listen, son, I myself am of the conviction that violence is the crude weapon of an incurious mind, but I will admit that my gigantic friend here makes the most convincing argument I've yet heard on the virtues of expediency through force.

Shop update: almost done with my laptop table! Just some more sanding and then I can start oiling it.

We’re through the looking glass here people

There is no functional difference between people looking for rampant voter fraud and ghost hunters.

This is why we don't trust any online storage. Mayyyybe you can trust Mega, but you should ALWAYS have an offline backup.

Small shop updates: finished the bench and the bird feed bin!

Because men of courage do not slay dragons, they ride them.

TIL that squirrels aren't the only ones that like peanuts. Hello little friend.

You may not be aware that the regime in this country is doing this on an ongoing basis. Consider yourself duly notified. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/m...

Small shop update: mostly done with the squirrel and bird feed box! Once the glue dries on the front accents I'll attach the rear and then oil the whole thing to weatherproof it.

Hahahahahaha

Only fellow Olds may recognize this epic souvenir I got at the New York Public Library…

Funny how getting the top left is extremely improbable.

Small shop updates, got my bird feeder sanded and oiled, started work on updating this yard bench

Focusing on their ages instead of their policies is a mistake, but the DNC loves to shoot themselves in the dick, so they'll probably go with that.

Hey BlueSky, you’re neat, so you get this first: the clip I asked @dropout.tv to do for me of @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy, because “community” gets tossed around a lot in TTRPGs & game studies but @analoggamestudies.bsky.social is doing the work.

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

Got the dry layout done on my table, finally! I'll work on the stand while I look at it and decide if it's done, then glue it all down and start on the arduous sanding and finishing process.

Are there any studies that look at if targeted marketing via personal data sales actually works? Because my reaction to it is that it is creepy and intrusive and shows a deep disrespect to me as a person, so I will never buy the products. I cannot be the only one.

New tabletop done!

Srsly

This whole thread is hilarious

This is the greatest thing ever

Spokane Washington is threatened by multiple wildfires. Winds are sustained at 20-30mph with gusts at 50mph. The largest fire has jumped the Spokane River and neighborhoods are burning. Traffic is slow as people evacuate. It’s horrific. Other areas in Oregon and Washington are under high fire danger

Today's further shop update: much progress made on my table, and a little arrangement of test samples to see what it's going to look like when done! The center will be layered with purpleheart stripes.

Shop workshop updates. My partner needed an upgrade to her 12 year old Ikea laptop table, so I made a template from it, then made a jig to increase the size, added a cupholder, and stained it to her favorite combo of stains.

oh noooo

Had an interview today, I think it went well. They said they'll be making a decision by tomorrow and let me know either way.

Shop projects update: Making myself a couch side table, shaped like a Superman logo with a Z instead of the S. Woods: Basswood, Padauk, Purpleheart.

Earlier today someone was like “you could stand to be more social” and I was like “no I could not”
