straight-down pictures of an open cardboard box with a grey winter dwarf hamster in the middle of it, looking up at the camera. He's in time-out while i clean his cage.

Sideways picture of a freshly cleaned hamster cage, with a pile of hay in a corner, a running wheel in the opposite corner, two small homes in the other two corners, a pile of chew toys in the middle, and food and water bowls to the side. A hamster is sitting in his food bowl and raiding it.

Sundays are made for cleaning hammy cage, and that's just what they'll do!

I got a new bag of hay and this one is grown in canada, it looks less artificial, i hope Geoff likes it!

YouTube video by Kivy VODs Today We Craft Frenzy (And other GW2 shenanigans)

It's been a while since I uploaded a VOD to Youtube so here's one from last Monday's Twitch stream where I played Guild Wars 2 and built the legendary harpoon gun Frenzy. :3

Oof i feel that so deeply. I have OCD and chronic fatigue, so some days i don't have the energy to shower, and then i can't sleep properly because i feel so gross.

I hope you get running water soon! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Being an adult is also eating dry Cheerios with your hands straight from the box, at 1 am, because you bloody want to. ๐Ÿ˜

A 25% built Lego Ferrari car sitting on its build manual on the page where it tells you to open bag 2.

45 minutes of pure joy later, the first bag is done and it's already starting to look like a car.

Really impressed with the hacks Lego came up with in this build, some of it feels outright illegal!

This thing also has a shift stick and a hand brake?!?

A Lego kit with its 4 bags laid out on a workbench. The booklet is open on page 1. The final piece will be a red Ferrari supercar.

Been eyeing this Lego kit for a while, and finally jumped on it yesterday. 35CAD for a Lego kit sounded like a good deal, but i wasn't expecting FOUR bags out of it. Maybe two max. But this will be 4 screen breaks! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿฅฐ

Why is the 52% so much higher than the 69% bar. And why is the 69% bar the same height as the 30% one. Like you aren't even parsing real data you're just manipulating it to have it say wtf you want. Very scummy.

I'm not sure exactly how it works. I just remember years ago reading about a library that got flooded and they rented freezers to save the books? It might have just been to freeze them all ASAP so they can dry them one at a time. ๐Ÿค”

I had bottom surgery so many years ago i lost track, and then i got old and fat and now I'm just some random dyke going out in sweatpants and no bra. When you start it's all about tells and appropriation and then one day you wake up and nah clothes are clothes.

The problem with learning to live with anxiety is that you end up gaslighting yourself every time you feel bad by telling yourself it's all in your head, and then you can't tell made-up vs real pain apart anymore. You just become numb to everything.

On bad mental health days like this one, i catch myself wishing i had been born 500 years earlier so i didn't have to live through this dystopia, and remind myself they only bathed once a year back then and i can't sleep at night unless I've showered that evening. ๐Ÿงผ๐Ÿซง

a grey winter dwarf hamster in a cardboard box, with a smaller box inside used as a home for him. the home is in the corner of the bigger box and the hamster is trying to climb up on it.

I put Geoff in time-out while i cleaned his cage, and i put his home in the middle of the box so he's got a place to hide. Little escape artist pushed the house to the corner of the box and tried getting out! Ah!

Wait, search bars are still a thing in 2025? People don't just search straight from the URL bar? ๐Ÿ™€

Typical DuckDuckGo W.

It's been my default search engine in my Firefox for a few years now, it's been much more useful than either Google or Bing. It's not perfect but it's not the worst, at least.

Anyone else with good hearing can recommend me a phone charger that doesn't buzz?

Crazy how I'm 37 and can't charge my phone at night cause switch mode power supplies keep me awake. Get with the program, ears! I'm old now! ๐Ÿ˜ 

Maybe i should build a linear USB charger using a transformer and 7805.

It's sad how I used to do 12h streams every day and now I cant even stream 4h without collapsing from exhaustion and needing multiple days to recover.

Long-covid really messes you up. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”

New GPU who dis?

Been on the fence about upgrading for months and decided it was time to get rid of that debate at the back of my head and just do it. From an AMD 8GB RX 6600 to a 16GB RX 9060 XT was a HUGE upgrade! More than twice the performance gain, impressive.
