I got a chocolate strawberry latte as compensation for being forced to participate in capitalism today.

A few affordable watches lined up on a table

One of my hyper-fixations over the last two years was figuring out how to add watches to my wardrobe. I call this my min-max watch collection. Pretty happy with the variety and versatility.

If they let me race with Antoine, I will buy it in a heartbeat.

This is beautiful!!

My current music hyper-fixation is the opening theme to Fiona and Cake season 2 and it’s only 39 seconds long. If anyone has recommendations for other songs in the Ryan’s Current Brain Itch genre, please let me know.

A nativity scene made of Smiski figures and Lego animals.

And the Smiski said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of Smiski-ville a Savior, which is Baby Smiski the Glowy Little Guy.

I’ll give it a watch. My hobby Godot projects are all terrible spaghetti code so I’m sure it’ll be helpful.

That sounds helpful. What channel is it?

I like the idea that all Australians have to work to keep up their accents

Why doesn’t the kid in Rescuers Down Under have an Australian accent?

Primal Planet is really fun. Great pixel art and fun gameplay. I am having a blast exploring.

Genuinely love that. I’m absolutely going to try it.

This is so clever. I normally go to the popular section of JustWatch and then go 3 pages deep. That’s where all the comfort entertainment sits.

I finally understand people with sensory issues because I hate touching it with a fiery passion!

It’s all way too freaking expensive. I decided to take the plunge out of fear for the stupid crap my country is doing, but it needed to happen eventually anyway.

Mine did that sticky rubbery thing that old tech does. Also sooo low resolution.

Just got the pro pen 3 after a decade of using the old one and it definitely feels like a nice upgrade.

I’m not a professional enough artist to have a real critique, other than that everything is too slim for my stupid giants hands.

That is a lovely way of framing this idea. Thanks! That made my morning better.

I’m compromising by wearing wide-legged sweatpants while scowling at my computer.

If I was a high school math teacher, I would be teaching video games every week. It is the perfect answer for "when will I ever use this?"

That's a much better idea. I would love to see how weird you could get with it!

If I was obscenely wealthy I would port Ribbit King to Steam.

That’s too bad. I like maps.

It’s an interesting choice for sure. I hate feeling lost, so it’s particularly frustrating for me. But like you said, it’s pretty linear so not a huge deal. I think I’m just not a minimal UI guy.

Is there no map at all in Expedition 33? I genuinely don’t know if I can play this game.

I stand corrected! I could google him, but this slow fox puppet lore drip feed is far too amusing.

This is similar to my experience living in Canada. Top otherworldly Canadian discoveries:

- House Hippos
- Children’s PSA about getting your limbs ripped off (Starring a robot dodging saw blades)
- The Punisher is a man in a gimp suit who punishes children on network television

Being an American fan of Task Master is the best. I kept seeing comments about a man named Basil Brush all morning and I just found out it’s a squirrel puppet.

On today’s walk I found a fairy trap. I’m not falling for it. Better luck next time, fairies.

These turned out great! So happy to see they have an e-mount for my A7C.

These turned out so good! I haven't heard of retropia before but I'm window shopping now.
