Kids these days have no idea how exciting it was to have an open pixelated world on a heavy, bulky device in your jeans rear pocket.
..which needed itβs AA-batteries replaced pretty much every week.. xD

Thatβs not a bad thing, just feels like I had a lot of missed opportunities the last few days. It is what it is.
To the few folks who did up spending some time with me, thank you all so much, and Iβm really sorry if I wasnβt as energetic or chatty as I usually am.
Love you all π
Back in Germany
NFC has been.. a con..
I already didnβt have much social energy going into the con, but I ended up getting a cold on the first day, so my physical resources werenβt plenty either.
So been a fairly quiet and slow con for me this year.
It is so good that I actually bought in on vinyl.. twice.. xD

Last stop, Salgelse, DKπ©π°
Snow stopped, roads are clear.
130km to go :)
Just crossed this absolute thing :D
Stop number 4, Fredericia, Denmark π©π°
Where my car now looks like this
Third stop. Greetings from NeumΓΌnster. Hamburg wasnβt too bad, but a quick look at the weather radar and the map predicts trouble ahead.

Second stop; nearing Hamburg. Generally a bit smoother, but the autobahn still has some icey patches every now and then.
Next stop should be just before the Danish border
First stop of the journey, nearing Hannover
Been a mess so far. Thick snowflakes, slippery roads, 60/80km/h restrictions. ETA got pushed back to 15:25.
And the biggest hurdle of the journey is yet to come (Hamburg..)
Alright, letβs go :)
#NFC2026
As someone who frequently travels to Czechia and Poland; ugh..

Been a nice couple of days showing @sheriffraccoon.bsky.social around :)
Today is cleaning, packing and con-prep day.
10 hour snowy drive to Sweden tomorrow
Fifth, looking at the Schedule, Thursday is my busy day. The rest of the con Iβm pretty much always available to hang out :) Not staffing this year either.
Lastly, no, I still donβt have new stickers.
Yes, I still plan get new ones made at some point soon ;)
Fourth, in contrast to last couple of years, Iβm skipping early-early-early-arrival and whatnot and wonβt be getting to the con until Tuesday.
I plan to leave at 4:00 that day which *should* get me to Sweden at 14:00, depending on how troublesome the Elbtunnel proves to be at 8 that morning.
Iβll bring my mood-badges along.
Adding to this, if Iβm in suit, Iβm mentally in a good spot and hugs/chatting improves my mental health even more.
So, if you see fluffy me, donβt be nervous, please say hi π
Secondly, my mental and physical health have been in a rough spot the last several months. If I tell you βnot nowβ, please donβt take it personal and give me some space.
Big cons are tricky for me now, as EF has shown me last year, which is why I left that con last year after the second day.
With NFC just around the corner, a few head-ups;
Iβm pretty easy to find. When Iβm not in my own, or someone elseβs room, Iβm probably near a bar :)
Alternatively, feel free to add me on Bump;
bumpmaps.com/p/paFCxwrIpI...
Locked accounts.
Thatβs it. Thatβs the only reason why I still have somewhat of a presence there.
One of my coworkers called me a "good boyβ earlier..
I am cooked.. x.x
In which case you could always try to find me at any mutual later con and ask me to stamp it xD

I've been having this idea for a while of Furcon passports and stamps.
Like, I'd be handing out Con-Passports, order a bunch of stamps and hand them out to Reg-Teams at cons so that if someone shows up with one of those booklets, they can be stamped at registration.
Kinda like the Lego-Store ones
Just looking at NFCβs schedule and jees.. my Thursday..
Barely have stuff planned for the rest of the con, but on Thursday afternoon I have to pick between 3 different events I want to attend.. x.x
Great, so thatβs yet another YouTube design change Iβm gonna need an addon for to reverse.. Thatβs gonna be the FIFTH Browser extension just for YouTube..
How is a platform so massive able to keep worsening its user experience..
www.reddit.com/r/youtube/s/...
Not to scare anyone, but..
..two weeks till NFC.. :)
Also, you should give Hide & Seek Japan a shot.
Or the original one, in Switzerland :)
Kinda wish they would do a S1 (Connect-four) or S2 (Circumnavigation) again
Theyβre still the two seasons I recommend to people who never seen JLTG before
I quite enjoy Hide & Seek though admittedly, the exciting bit is mostly the end-game
This season is more enjoyable to watch than the last season of Tag or Snake was.
βWould you kindly..β

What we want; private accounts.
What we get; stonks.
