Dear, #bsky

Give me an option to filter cowards on my/the discover feed who mute their replies. Thank you.

I'm running out of themes for my photography photos. So here are some masked #portrait #photography of #cosplay -ers I took at various SoCal conventions.

Incentive reward for surviving 10 sessions.

The guts rearranged joke was hilarious.

Cara mia!

As in. Both people want to go to a shlockpy pumpkin patch and participate. Both people want to take a class together.
Doing stuff with that individual. That's the spark that both people want to kindle.

But I'm probably an odd one out?

Being invited to do errands together sounds great to me lol.

Everyone's different though. Some people want that whole shebang, but I've never vibed with women like that.

After the the third date or actual time spent I'd say the intimate stuff is on the table because at that point, it shouldn't feel "satus quo, but more-so desired.

Maybe it's my neurodivergent brain, but dates felt like a weird transaction that was normalized before my time.

My favorites dates were ones where we'd get a drink or snack and just walk around talking and window shopping in both my youth and contemporary now.

I've always thought blind dates were weird. A movie, dinner, museum, venue. All that stuff with a stranger.
Stuff that I'd do normally with friends.
And in my time, I was expected to pay for everything.
But my friends and I would pay for ourselves and even get each other stuff just cuz.

The best kind to be subjected to manipulative shenanigans lol!

Love it.

Your OC gives me young Klarth F. Lester vibes (Tales of Phantasia) for some reason.

What's his personality like?

Onimusha 2. Controls very well. Gameplay is fantastic.
Story and narrative is fucking bonkers and beyond cheese.
Not sure if I'd replay it given the reward of the gift system is getting to know the others more when the writing for it is... meh.

I prefer the first more.

Wow. The PlayStation 4 controller (DS4) is so easy to take apart. It's so user-friendly for repair. And even the parts are easy to fix. The only down-side is if you really messed up your analog sticks.

On the subject of controllers. The Xbox X controller is just engineering cable management love.

I like playing fighting games' arcade mode on the highest difficulty and treat them as puzzle games, but MK II doesn't do that even on its standard arcade difficulty.

I grew up during this era and always avoided this machine. I would watch because I like gore n horror, but no way I'd play it solo.

I hate Mortal Kombat II. Let me preface that it's a fine game when played -only- with other people.
Other than that. Be it console, handheld, or arcade, this game is Komplete trash as the AI is a quarter-muncher that would make some SNK games blush.

Color my surprise to find that Onimusha 2 not only has a tiny little hub, but a dating sim embedded in it. That explains why those four characters had a spotlight in an amazing game opening (with amazing transitions to boot)!

It's still Onimusha. Love my tank controls.

The day I move from SoCal is going to be a happy one. But I'll definitely miss the used and farmers markets.

I needa pause my Indian exploration for Korean food. Spicy and sour are my jam!

Also- I learned at a young age, when Boy Bands became a thing in the 90s, to never get in-between them & their fandom. I can only imagine Kpop fans being 20x more viscous.

I also was into J-rock, so I get the look heh.

Aside putting on a hat to surf the high seas, an option I do is use another Youtube profile with adblock.
Last I recall you can do that with the browser, but I haven't done that since.
I use a workaround that disables it in for the app (Android). I'd mention it, but lawyers.

I honestly thought there was going to be some more complex puzzles with the ability to control two Captains and no time limit, but no. Separating teams and and exploring two areas is hindered too because of the underground stuff.
The new Pikmin are neat.

Pikmin 2 is fine, but I wouldn't replay it.

Not done with it yet, but I feel as though the whole game is just about hanging out underground. The map design for the four areas aren't as creative as the first and I believe it has to do with the intent that the underground was suppose to be the new identity with pseudo random generated layouts.

My guess its a psychology of happiness envy or FOMO remorse (or being let down).

Flip side is the same too. I like speaking about the negatives of things I like and the fandom is upset I don't like thing like they do.

Either way, it sucks. Grats on your shinies btw!

DARKSTALKERS ARE NOT DEAD!!!

Ten games to know me by.

(Outside of Maplestory and World of Warcraft, I'm sure, i'd easily recommend any of these games today)

I really like the song, "A Total Eclipse of the Heart", but whenever I sing it, I use "extreme" or "death" metal vocals.

I have yet to find anything that sings the song with those vocals. I wonder if Retsuko from Aggretsuko would ever sing it, hahahahahaha (/Fenneko).

Original still great though.

Tried to be concise, sorry if it's a lot of info, but remember, if someone really wanted to get your data, they'd do it. So I hope your enemies aren't pros at data theft or simply tricking you.

Viel Gluck!

Like the cloud folders, you tell Syncthing which folders will be sending data to where and from what. And it's free.

So you can dedicate a save folder for your tablet stuff and it'll automatically send it (as long as the app is running on your PC and tablet) to your PC.

There's another alternative such as SyncThing where you host the server (main PC for example) and assign folders to either receive &/or send data

The caveat is that it's a psuedo-medium to cloud storage. Your main PC storage is storing it.

The cloud storage system route, like GoogleDrive, OneDrive, Box, DropBox, etc... is a simple drag n drop with a dedicated folder (list) that you pay for.

It's simple and all you do is pay for it. Security-wise, you'll just have to learn to password protect and encrypt stuff (isn't too hard).

You can run a simple NAS set-up as a small server with TrueNas. The software will probably be the hard part.
And it's an extension or final form of what essentially is cloud storage.
