Part of me really wants to play the Callisto Protocol.

But the rest of me thinks that the combat looks terribly tedious and I just had really good times playing Scorn and Moons of Madness recently and am hoping to have a similar experience.

If I had a pound for every actor who played a minotaur in Doctor Who and then 5 years later played Darth Vader in Star Wars I’d have £2, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened twice

But it would be very nice to have it on during cycling workouts where impacts should hopefully be nonexistent

For instance, I kept getting false positives during a boxing workout (where the watch is under wraps and a glove so extra hard to reach, yet impacts are sudden and intense and frequent), so basically never want it on then

You should be able to turn off Apple’s fall detection for specific types of workouts.

I asked an AI to describe a cat and then I put the AI's description of a cat into an AI image generator.

Wow, great job previewing the most relevant link, Twitter 🙄

Okay, mastodon.social was overloaded enough that the API wouldn’t let me authenticate… so I’ve found a smaller / more focused instance. You can now find me on mastodon at pdx.social/@tekniklr

Trans kids have become political refugees. Internally displaced Americans. That's what Greg Abbott has done.

Life hack: give yourself 8 to 12 hours of alone time in the morning to mentally prepare for the day.

Since Elon Musk refuses to stop talking about free speech, let’s look at his actual record on the topic.

@maggiekarp Thank you for making me retch at the gym

The fact that dudes go on a diet but they call it "biohacking" is so funny to me.

Like if men started knitting they would call it "hyper threading" or "powertangling" or some shit

@stuffedskullcat Oh no! It sucks that we get so little time with them. You gave him a good life, and he'll be missed.

This is the only real time travel paradox

Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, “Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?” and now I’m going to be haunted by this question

NYTimes posted an article about "risks of puberty blockers" and WPATH completely debunked it, lmao

Watching the MST3K turkey day marathon and the mascot "Turkules" said he can deadlift twice his body weight (but at what cost??) and is this the amount of muscle non-lifters think is required to deadlift twice your body weight? mst3k.com/turkeyday

@tuckwoodstock @ambrown He has a twitch and you can hear his voice in the vods twitch.tv/drilgame

Lofi nuclear war to relax and study to

Here are actually experts explaining the many problems with the NYTs article on puberty blockers. Read this and ask yourself how that piece was written and approved. The Times, Twohey, Jewett, and their editors should be embarassed and ashamed. wpath.org/media/cms/Docu…

The existence of parmesan hints at the existence of a smaller and cuter parmechan, and the older and more formal parmesama

Yeah you made us need to do this. twitter.com/TaylerUSA/stat…

I have easily a term's worth of material on how the New York Times' deliberate framing and style choices have contributed to anti-trans legislation and anti-trans violence. twitter.com/MorganJerkins/…

@meowludo The problem will probably be something completely inane, like the person who renewed certs is gone and no one else remembers to do it so one day nothing works until they figure it out

That, or no one notices/fixes security problems and there’s a huge breach/defacement

@Jwaxo 🎶
Colony sea, colony sea
Darling, it's clear that down here it's freeer
Take it from me
Up on the shore, parasites play
Out in the sun they steal away

Under the sea (Ah-ha-ha)

i love both tumblr and twitter but they are fundamentally different and neither can replace the other. you can't go to tumblr for up-to-the-minute breaking news, and you can't go to twitter for a whole user base collectively inventing a 1973 scorsese mafia movie from whole cloth

We really need to bring back this energy.

tumblr will occasionally just tip you backwards into a slightly different but unnerving alternate universe like you're the protagonist of a haruki murakami novel and that's why it's a good website

I regard them with a secret third thing twitter.com/erichhartmann/…

God of War Ragnarok has two, different, sets of end credits; neither of which plays at a point where you’d expect (but especially the second, longer set which has the Hozier song)

This feels chaotic, somehow

the worst thing is I could have conceivably been convinced to pay a small monthly fee for some premium features, just like I do with spotify and youtube, but all the ones he offered sucked and I would sooner set money on fire before I gave it to that worm

Anyway tekniklr.tumblr.com - it’s basically just a place where I reblog whatever catches my eye; sorta a lookbook for my interests. I hardly ever actually write or post anything original there. But, I’m there often, regardless.

As someone who never left tumblr in the first place,

1. It’s nice seeing more activity over there in the past day or so

2. It’s so different from Twitter (at least how I use Twitter and tumblr) that I don’t understand what y’all are thinking, honestly

@BrianEnigma It's a bold statement in flavor for women's rights

@BrianEnigma I see know that this is Mickey, but I’m gonna be honest- at first glance I thought it was a uterus with ovaries

Since my cool cybre.space mastodon instance is closing, I've dusted off my old mastodon.social account and reversed the redirects - mastodon.social/@tekniklr

If twitter goes away for real, I'll probably try mastodon out again, and maybe it will stick

Oh shit lol. Twitter HQ in San Francisco tonight

hold up like 12 new ppl joined.
we're working on it. give it a sec :) twitter.com/PopCrave/statu…

Alright, I've finally decided I should start using Twitter more! Let's go! ... guys?

I'm watching a streamer play Sonic Frontiers and somehow it has massive Death Stranding vibes?

No, I will not be elaborating.

wheeeeeeeeee

@BethSkw Eh, it wasn’t MY pneumonia, and he got better

@BethSkw "it's not the cold getting you sick but the cold air making you more susceptible to getting sick" seems very six of one half dozen of the other
Peter and I once had a "who's the tougher tough guy" competition one Nov eve, standing outside w/o coats, and he literally got pneumonia

Sorry folks Elden Ring is a top narrative contender for this little story alone

Here's the most awkward custom search function I've ever created: everyone you follow, who's also paid Elon $8 for a dodgy tick

The Search Of Shame

twitter.com/search?q=filte…

@cratermoon I’ve been using tweetdelete.net to delete tweets and retweets older than a few months. You can’t delete old likes, though (via any method other than deleting your entire account).

Whichever of us is the last person to leave Twitter, make sure your last tweet is just the word "CROATOAN"

I’m already on tumblr (never left) and the mood there is so different from Twitter that it’s no replacement and that’s for the best.

I hope Twitter refugees aren’t a “September that never ended” for tumblr.

Anyway, maybe mastodon is better now but I guess I don’t care enough to find out. I’ll go down with this ship, and maybe find something else once it’s sunk, or maybe not.

Also, this fire sale mood is the best Twitter has been in ten years.

I tried mastodon years ago the last time there was a Twitter panic.

It was simultaneously too much and not enough, if that makes sense?

There was way more drama but the drama was much more boring.

Any good nonsense account posted 30 times an hour.

Anyway, I bounced off.

genuinely, genuinely, do not buy twitter blue. i'm not just saying "don't give elon your money" i am saying "don't put your credit card info into this website that just fired the grand bulk of its security staff"

Okay imagine all this, except you’re on Mars and there’s a limited amount of oxygen.

@spidey_j I have neither an exhaust fan nor central air but I do have an air purifier I bought for fire season in the kitchen that helps sometimes, a little.

@spidey_j Same. I have to remember to close to the door to the room with my smoke detector any time I cook something that takes longer than a scrambled egg on my stove.

passing on someone else’s reminder:

might want to check if you have any accounts where your only way to log in is through twitter authentication

Update: The Twitter wildfire is at 44 billion acres and 0% contained.

I understand everyone is having fun making fun of Twitter right now and I don't want to tone police but PLEASE remember to also make fun of the crypto crash happening right now as well.

oh my fucking god you can get a blue checkmark on tumblr now too

@drunkenGeeBee Right?! All the drama but none of the terror of the Trump years
