De-rusting on DDR after not playing for a month+ is the biggest whirlwind experience ever.

Set 1 - Struggling to read the arrows, my legs are wobbly, my timing is all over the place, I'm running out of breath playing 14s.

Set 5 - I have 5p 75% of the way through on Aria ESP.

The Texan in me is screaming

Look, this country is a clusterfuck, especially in recent times.

Once in a while, we do something that makes you proud to be an American.

Televised T-Rex races on ESPN is one of those times.

I hate how long interview stuff takes, but thankfully have my next round of interviews scheduled for this week (and up to 2 more after....ugh).

In the meantime, taking advantage of Funemployment and finished 100% DK Bananza last night. Phenomenal game, up there with Clair Obscur for GOTY.

Recruiter screening interview secured this week for a senior level position. Wish me luck!

Thankfully over the past two days, carpet padding has been replaced from flooding, outlet has been replaced, & have submitted job applications via a recruiter from my old work director (he left before I got laid off), which should at least get me an interview. Slowly trying to get back to normal.

If you're wondering how my life is going, the answer is "I had an electric socket apparently catch on fire due to the industrial grade fans plugged into the same circuit used for my apartment flooding a few days ago, which happened a week after being laid off."

So, not the best ~10 days of my life

No explanation needed.

I still need to update it (obviously on my to do list), but can certainly send your way once I've got an up to date version.

Not the news I wanted to deal with today, but sadly I'm joining Funemployment™ today due to layoffs. I've been networking out all day, but if I happen to have any friends that know of job openings in digital marketing (specifically Google/Youtube Ads centric), let me know!

Heads up for folks that used them - both the DDR Players and DDR+ITG Players groups on Facebook got suspended/nuked at the same time. Not sure if this is Facebook's auto AI doing this, or someone maliciously reporting the groups. We're waiting on appeal, but thanks a bunch Zucc.

Apparently you can't combine videos with pictures on Blusky?

Strong Switch Con™ the week after CEO. Just because I didn't have enough pool action last weekend.

Bruh.

These things somehow keep getting uglier.

Hooray 6:30am Walmart delivery with free Coke and Pringles.

You know who would never do this? Best Buy.

Had our official postmortem TBD5 meetup with R1 GVM management today (yes 2 months after the event, getting everyone's schedules aligned is hard). For the most part, nothing but positive things in terms of management feedback!

Anyone who is a lawful resident of Texas is obligated to binge watch the King of the Hill Hulu reboot when it comes out.

Nothing says "you old AF" like my Facebook memories reminding me that I graduated college 15 years ago today. 🙃👴

Surprise! GVM R1 is the first US location to have 2 Gold DDR cabs and 4 eamuse connected DDR cabs. Confirming 2nd Gold cab still remains connected to JP eamuse server.

Recently re-upped my PC Gamepass subscription to play through the new Doom.

I might be delaying that slightly because I also started Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on Gamepass as well. What a phenomenal game so far.

RIP Round 1 GVM's kid play place area 2016-2025. You had a good run.

Day 1 in Puerto Morelos

Likely booking my CEO/Storm flight on Southwest with points.

It pains me to say that might be the last Southwest flight I take after flying with them at least once annually for the past ~15 years.

LET'S FUCKING GO I DIDN'T HAVE TO RELY ON BEST BUY

Passing the Torch Read the message sent to Discord employees from CEO Jason Citron sharing his decision to transition out of the role and appoint Humam Sakhnini as the company's new chief executive.

I am not looking forward to the enshittification of Discord with it going public.

I do enjoy me some Kerry Gold Butte

Eggs are somehow $2 a dozen right now at my local store.

Translation if it's not in blusky-

I'm relearning Spanish because I'm going to Mexico in 2 weeks. I studied Spanish for 6 years in school and it's amazing how quickly certain words/phrases come back. While I'm not great, I can probably hold a basic convo in Spanish

PS-Fuck Nico Harrison in the ass
