I used to run a fansite about Sealab 2021, back on the Old Web.

It was a good time and I made some long-term friends through it. It was a great community.

BRB, typing my PIN number into the ATM machine to get some cash for SCUBA apparatus.

I preordered the new Katamari game that’s coming out next week. I’m very excited!

Hey, it’s you! Cool!

This is glorious! I got into that game on desktop ages ago but haven’t played in a long time, and reading that post by the author has me really interested to play the mobile version.

I’m real I thought I told ya

I’m real even on Oprah

I still automatically think “YOUR .SIG IS TOO HUGE!” when reading modern work emails with rows upon rows of name, job title, company, contact info, disclaimers, embedded graphics, etc. at the bottom.

I’m happy to be a direct supporter of creative people whose work I enjoy; think Patreon and similar setups.

I find that making small monthly payments to a handful of independent folks who do work I love and who directly appreciate my support to be far more satisfying and worth it than subscribing to a wealthy and powerful media conglomerate thing which feeds me a bunch of crap the majority of which I don’t care about.

Dates with the person who became my wife. (Fortunately, she felt the same way.)

I’ve always felt that owners of dogs and/or cats should have more than one, so they have one another to interact with when you’re not home. They’re meant to be social creatures and, assuming they don’t happen to incompatibly hate each other (which can happen), it’s a lot nicer and healthier for them than just leaving a single pet home alone all day.

Those crappy old chairs in the classrooms have no lumbar support.

Or white, let’s not forget that bit.

Many truly obsessive Star Wars fans have been technically pirating for ages in order to have the fan-made 4K restorations of the original films Lucas and Disney refused to release in favor of the CGI-remixed versions.

Imagine actual oligarchs and nazis staying in power because actual oppressed people love stories the oligarchs and nazis control about imaginary oppressed people defeating imaginary oligarchs and nazis too much to stop giving them money.

Teräs Käsi.

Sooooo much Lucky Tower Ultimate! I had no idea when I bought this game how much it would eclipse all the other software on my Steam Deck, but I’m loving it a whole lot.

I’m at the stage where I can’t decide whether the Debian logo reminds me more of the Sega Dreamcast or Lawry’s seasoned salt.

While you’re admiring a building which was there in 1925, you get run over by a car which is there in 2025.
