Look, we're either going to have to Return to Office (RTO) or we're going to have to Ban Daytime Lawn Maintenance (BDLM). One or the other people.

Two red ceramic jars, one with white text that says "coffee", the other says "tea". However, someone crossed these out with black sharpie and wrote the opposite word on each.

It's 2025. I updated Windows 11 and my Realtek audio driver disappeared.

In a small way, it's comforting to still feel needed. Thank you Microsoft.

I get little pings from itch.io about this and it makes me quite pleased and also for some reason makes ME feel more productive which is wrong but fine.

Wow that is big. Congratulations. I know it was hell from what you've expressed publicly. Hopefully its success is some consolation.

The whole thing sucks and I couldn't even bring myself to turn it on. I watched The Last Dance for the 5th time instead.

The Weather Channel is the Fox News of weather. They name all the winter storms to make them sound extra scary. What I love is that NO OTHER MEDIA OUTLET uses their stupid names. They're like "Winter Storm Donald is going to ravage upstate NY!" and everyone there just thinks "it's snowing".

Serious question: are we still in "the internet age"? How long will this go on for? Feels like that maybe was 1995 to 2010 or so and now we're onto a new age that needs a name oh no it's the age of enshittification

The reviews for The Axis Unseen are 100% positive in the past 30 days!

Seems like all those patches where I've fixed things, added things and addressed feedback have helped a lot!
