My pin manufacturer reached out right while I was trying to decide on what materials to use for the final draft.

Today I realised maybe I could use cast metal for the anchor...

I'm a bit torn about how I want to proceed. Any thoughts?

OMG YESSSSSS

Melbourne coasters have arrived!

Fry, my pretties, fry!

We had leftover dumpling wrappers and a no-bake cheesecake.

So I added some egg to the cheesecake and made cheesecake potstickers.

There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t think about remaking The Games (1998, 2000) except set in the world of video games and esports.

YouTube video by Alecat If You Are the Run(ner) - PAX Aus 2025 Speedrunning Panel

Our @paxaus.bsky.social speedrunning gameshow panel is now up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qqw...

Huge thanks to Aggy for recording and to everyone involved in making the panel happen.

I recovered in a few hours and could have gotten away with not disclosing this but I figure the People deserve to know hahaha.

I consumed a number of foods stored overnight at hotel room temperature and humidity including some veggies, a Woolies fruit salad and some slices of pizza. My bet is on the fruit salad.

Home, feeling simultaneously energised and exhausted by a weekend at PAX, and surviving a brief bout of food poisoning.

(Yes it happened; hubris was my downfall. Please know I am now filled with an obnoxiousness that comes only from having cheated death and have learned nothing from the experience)

EVACuation In case of tournament, follow the "SAFETY" action plan S - Sign up for your tournament A - Assemble in the tournament area F - Follow instructions of the tournament organiser E - Enter your matches as they are called T - Tell your tournament organiser your result Y - Yield tournament equipment to other players

In light of yesterday's evacuation at @paxaus.bsky.social I declare this image once again relevant. #paxaus2025

The moment we first learned of the evacuation at @paxaus.bsky.social yesterday - mid panel!

@alecat.bsky.social is a solo Untitled Goose Game speedrunner looking for a buddy to take on the co-op leaderboard with. Problem is, her usual partner @nicosar.bsky.social isn't a good fit! (1/3)

Watching the Link Click live action makes it painfully obvious how much the animators *choose* to deliberately bait the audience with ShiGuang.

Sadly, the parents haven’t been around for a day or two. I spotted an egg in the nest this morning but this afternoon I looked out and it had fallen out. The ants noticed much quicker than I did 😭

Meanwhile the other tables have the toum and we helplessly point at them until we get the right thing.

Anyway, I’ll be using this bracket as reference from now on to look it up from.

It endlessly frustrates me that my family collectively cannot remember the name of toum whenever we eat at our usual Afghan joint and when we ask for the “garlic sauce” they bring out a different yoghurt based one.

Pigeon update:
They stopped using the nest for the week after I posted this and I got worried they were abandoning it, but then they settled back in and there’d been one on near permanent nest duty for the last fortnight.

Dreamt that I was playing Splatoon for the first time in forever, but that somehow I had good *awareness* and was capable of not just running into every engagement.

Dreams truly are fantasy lands.

I think I haven't been noticing my solder paste getting gradually drier, which has given me a few problems of late.

“Mr Wilson, have you measured the server ping?”
“Yes, of course”
“Well let me ask you, how long is it?”
“How long is the local server ping?”
“Yes”
“It’s a local server”
“I know what it is, Mr Wilson, I’m asking you how long it is”
“It’s about 100ms long”
“About 100ms long.”
