And what an incredible year it’s been. A year ago I never could have imagined the joy you’d bring into my life.

I love you forever my shining stardrop 🌟

Oops. Just visited American Samoa because, well, it’s not on the other side of the world 🙃

Boxed copies of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) Black Edition

I’m slowly amassing boxes copies of some of my favourite PC games (which I can’t use, but I like collecting). I wouldn’t mind the ETS2 Scandinavia DLC disc and American Truck Sim Gold, but the latter can be quite expensive. It’s a shame there’s no PC disc for Forza Horizon 3.

Whaaaaaat happy birthday! 🎉🎉

A playlist of nothing but ADDHERALL by FEM&M really is the best background music for sitting and sorting bread tags for an hour :)

No, I did not see that one red bread tag from where I was sitting. Yes, it annoys me as much as it annoys you.

I got a portable installation set up with my research work on it today, I look forward to counting as two weekly users when my uni campus opens back up next year :)

Well, this was inevitable I suppose. I have left streaming services behind and embraced the 2004 nostalgia.

I partly blame @tainkirrahe.bsky.social and their DAP journey a couple months ago, but really it’s mostly my lack of self control ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh my gosh when I saw this in my timeline I thought Bluesky had added reels for a hot second

A Steam Deck using a Quest 3 as a giant virtual display is a surprisingly compelling portable gaming setup

If that isn’t a testament to your love and care for ETS2 (and ATS!) I don’t know what is. Well-deserved, thank you SCS 💜

A screenshot of a message on Discord "Jeez there so many cynics!" wrote [Microsoft's head of AI] on X this week. "It cracks me up when I hear people call AI underwhelming" [...] The comment comes as the public reacts to Microsoft pushing its new "agentic" services, referring to AI agents that can perform tasks beyond chatting and generating images. Windows head Pavan Davuluri said earlier this month that Microsoft's OS is "evolving into an agentic OS," and I can't say I'm excited about the prospect

Switch to Linux, people! Or go to Mac, I'm not your mum. But either way, abandon ship from Windows before it gets even more terrible.

Just watched #WickedForGood with @drlockdown.bsky.social, we absolutely bawled

Because I know you…
I have been changed for good

I’m at least hoping the Steam Frame will stream VR games from Linux natively. Currently using ALVR to stream from Bazzite to my Quest 3. It’s pretty good, given the technical limitations, but not ideal. Fingers crossed!

don't do this

@drlockdown.bsky.social begged me not to do this

Watch out, I'm coming for your gender. I will absorb it and become even more powerful.

After months of planning, years of procrastination and weeks of construction, my simrig is finally complete!

This has reignited my passion for the trucksim games, who knows what is to come? 👀

More elegant? Definitely. Better? Most probably. More readable? Depends on the audience.

I like that Python is about as readable as pseudocode for non-programmers. Things like this might make it more readable for me, but they’d make it less readable for my partner, for example.

I don’t have an answer for you, but as someone who recently switched to Linux and Godot for my (VR design research) work, heck yeah!

Still keep an old Mac around for Adobe stuff unfortunately, GIMP and such just can’t compare. Windows has been thoroughly launched into the sun though :)

Argh I love the purple on the tips of the hair. Maybe biased because I want to get the same one day 👀

I want to beep the sneets

(not actually, they very sensitive)

It reaches out it reaches out it reaches out it reaches out. One hundred and thirteen times a second, nothing answers and it reaches out.

You know, I take issue with the BCE/CE method of naming years. By all means get rid of BC/AD, but nothing significant enough happened ~2000 years ago to mark it as the start of a “Common Era”

I really like Kurzgesagt’s idea of the Human Era, starting 10,000 years before. This year would be 12025 HE

Shoutout to @ameliasvg.bsky.social for making beautiful logos and the mascot for my new favourite OS @bazzite.gg

Always love seeing other trans designers out there smashing it. Much love and respect from down under 🇦🇺 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜

Also makes a nice fetch logo. Was this an excuse to show off mine? Maybe :3
