“I’m typing with haptic feedback!” as a phone equivalent to “I’m using tilt controls!”

all of my Lightning cables are slowly developing hairline fractures on their connectors but I feel if I stick it out a little while maybe everything will turn into USB anyway

pandemic vignette: I haven’t eaten oatmeal in months because it’s been too hot, but I keep one of those big 42 oz cylinders on my counter anyway because it’s a good tablet stand for when I’m washing the dishes. I’ve gotten good at pausing a YouTube video with my nose when my hands are wet

holy christ i could not possibly care less about your fucking dall-e results

it occurred to me today that my tv is now the worst and oldest screen i own and the futon in front of it is the least comfortable seat i own. changing priorities, i guess!

it feels like backyard fireworks season should be over by now. and yet…

every year or two i decide that maybe it's time i learn to write shaders, but i'm always wrong

@mogwai_poet That minigame is for when you talk to NPCs, but when they talk to each other you often hear the sort of stapled-together nonsense you're describing—e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDzoilnf4Yc

@mogwai_poet This is how I feel about Oblivion.
