a close up of a monkey with a big nose Alt: a close up of a proboscis monkey with a big nose sniffing, the context is that I am sick and this is what it feels like

Being home from work sick sucks 😭 I've never related more to a monkey in my life every time I try to breathe in through my nose.

Upcoming Patch Details :: Hollow Knight: Silksong General Discussions Heya All, Details below on the upcoming post-release patch (1.0.28470). This one is primarily focused on bug fixes, with some slight balance adjustments in the early game. Barring any unforseen issues...

Looks like it's time to pick up #Silksong again, how nice :)

Spoiler-free things I'd hope to see tweaked before diving back in:
1. economy & double damage re-balance
2. bounce platforming in certain zones (ah, arthritis 😒)
3. tweak item retrieval location after death
4. some obnoxious run backs (time & difficulty)
5. Insane / abrupt difficulty spike (see 1-4)

Sad to say that after about 10 hours of play, I'm finding #Silksong is more frustration than fun. I'll be shelving it for now, and hoping that some of these issues are addressed through patches or updates.

It's been a decade since I last bought a game on release lol. Ah well!

Now I'm wondering about the aerodynamics of windshields on bakfiets...

To be clear, I'm all for people riding however they like. :) At the same time, some of these (concept) bikes had drop distances so severe it was basically putting the riders in the Jack-O Pose lol.

Whatever floats your bike! πŸ˜‚

Ep 06 bringing the big cry 😭. Arguing while running on both sides of the streets feels like a comic storyboard, and the reunion would be the double spread page.

I really hope this campaign works. Payment processors should not be able to act as unaccountable, private arbiters of morality. We all know these christofascist groups have much longer lists of censorship targets than just furries and "adult content". Push back now, and push back hard. πŸ’ͺ

Know some folks who are investigating switching CCaaS offerings because they aren't happy with their FCR and SL trends. The goal is to disincentivize calls, reduce FTEs, and get more bots on board to do those first two things. These are good tips right up until people don't want to hear it, sadly. 😞

There's two poles to Sal Jiang content: raw, brutal violence and shameless screwball comedy. Even though I think the original Ayaka/Hiroko comic is stronger than the TV adaptation, I'm liking how lighthearted S2 (!) is. It's got that silliness. Hope this brings her more attention and opportunities.

A sideview of a bicycle explaining the terms drop, reach, and virtual frame size. The drop is the distance between the saddle and the handlebars. The reach is the distance between the seat post and the handlebars, and the virtual frame size is the distance between the top of the frame and the anchor point of the pedals.

I remember some of the bikes having rather extreme drop distance. Like... I get it, the aerodynamics... gotta go fast and all, but still...

I forgot to make a post about #Eurobike2025! And those sexy, sexy Terns...

Bikes are like guitars. You get a nice one, then you have three, then suddenly they're taking up a room in your home.

Every chapter the tension twists and digs into my stomach just a little bit more. Top tier suspense building.

Also last thing but while it's true your bike may never need its "dork disc", fussing over somebody else removing (or not) a small safety feature 'cause it's "uncool" low-key gives me the same vibes as using a seat belt silencer to avoid wearing the belt. Those vibes? Insecure and anxious vanity πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Not everyone wants/needs to ride a tour-worthy sports bike, remove spoke guards, or sit on hard narrow seats (legit had a dude tell me bike seats aren't *meant* to be comfortable). Racing? City commute? Off-road? Valid! βœ… The best way to ride is the way you're happiest, safest, and most comfortable.

In a week, I've had 3 dudes come over to me to explain how I need to get that little piece of plastic off my bike, because it ruins the look and serves no purpose. Ignoring that these are mandatory in some parts of the EU, including where I purchased my bike, they *do* serve a purpose, ya dorks.

While biking to work again has brought more joy to my early mornings, I have regretfully learned that some folks in my office's bike lockup will fervently encourage what I'm now calling "circumcising your bike" (i.e. removing spoke guards) because they prefer the look of the gears sans "dork disc" πŸ™„
