... aka the most effort I've ever put into a stupid horror pun, lol.🦇

Oh hey @bakelitebetty.bsky.social it's our neighbor's new dog

Oh, my mistake, I thought another comment mentioned an FPGA, which I toolk to mean it was one of those plug-and-play systems made to look like a SNES controller.

But yes, HDMI can be used for other things, should one be so inclined.

All the processing of the game is being handled inside the controller itself, usually by a some kind of microcontroller or FPGA. Since the HDMI handles both audio and video output (compressed or uncompressed), it's not doing anything out of the ordinary in this case.

I'm just wrapping up Authority, book 2 in the Southern Reach trilogy. It's not gripping me as much as Annihilation, the first book. The cosmic/psych horror element of book 1 sort of takes a back seat to the more conspiratorial feeling of book 2, but I'm still here for it!

We live in an age where exercising personal privacy and agency is seen as The Hard Way™ the same way living off the grid is seen as a path for nutters and paranoids.

You guys, I'm pretty tired of thriving in a fast-paced environment and working well under pressure while being part of a family.

Can we change this shit up anytime soon?

remembered this stupid image I made like a decade ago when I was pissed off about garbage on youtube

I think it *is* still a full time job! A cursory search shows me there's listings for pixel artists on Indeed, Itch.io and LinkedIn. I say get yourself out there, your work is great!

Everything you need is already within you, citizen.

Sorry, gotta cancel this weekend, too tired from picking myself up my the bootstraps every day.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Your last meme saved is your moral philosophy

Been making an effort to doodle more on paper lately. Fun to crank out some little guys free of any Big Art™ pressure

How rad is this?!

What were your thoughts on ER back in the day? That show blew me away, it felt so much more intense and "real" than anything else on television at the time. We rewatched it before The Pitt and I felt it still holds up!

I could not stick with it either. I found the whole thing dry, save for the monster design. Legendary has built out their Godzilla universe nicely in the films and show, but they really need better writers who can produce a compelling narrative that gives the audience something to invest in.

I wrote my own note, too, saying that I am happy that my wife chose me. She is and always will be my safe space.

But the photo is my reminder that I have to try and do better, even if it seems like nobody else is...because, hey, *someone* wrote each of those notes and just wants to be #happy.

As I kept reading, I was overcome with a weird mix of frustration and dread. We humans are so awful to each other, even when we don't mean to be, and we communicate really, really poorly. I held that feeling, knowing that I had to try to do better, at least for those around me.

"My time with my brother" or "being able to express who I really am" or "having time to read a book." A lot of them end up implying the author of the note is coping with something, like loss or a limitation imposed on their life by external forces, be they innocuous or purely evil.

The photo I took was of a little hallway toward the back where visitors are encouraged to jot down what makes them happy on a post-it note. At first it's fun, but as you read them, getting through the "boobs" or "booze" ones, you start hitting the ones that sort of make you sad.

I never explained the banner pic in my profile, so I'll attempt to do that here.

It's from the Happiness Museum in Copenhagen, a tiny place that looks at a rather big question; what makes individuals and communities happy?
