We had leftover dumpling wrappers and a no-bake cheesecake.

So I added some egg to the cheesecake and made cheesecake potstickers.

THIS WEEKEND at @paxaus.bsky.social: we're excited to be hosting a speedrunning themed gameshow panel!

@alecat.bsky.social is a solo Untitled Goose Game speedrunner looking for a buddy to take on the co-op leaderboard with. Problem is, her usual partner @nicosar.bsky.social isn't a good fit! (1/3)

Pigeon update:
They stopped using the nest for the week after I posted this and I got worried they were abandoning it, but then they settled back in and there’d been one on near permanent nest duty for the last fortnight.

Squareword 1336 spoilers (yeah I'm like a month behind)

I always use the same starting word for this one and I was excited at line one but nearly catatonic with excitement at line 5 appearing.

Now to find out how close to greatness I really am.......!!!!

Finished a private test run of our dating-gameshow-speedrunning panel for @paxaus.bsky.social and feeling relieved that it all worked, albeit with a LOT of chaos. But the chaos will be part of the fun!

Come see us on PAX Saturday!
We're currently scheduled for 3pm in the Kookaburra theatre!

A pair of spotted doves have built their nest directly by our dining room window. They were very well camouflaged and I didn’t notice them until Nico pointed them out to me.

I’m now a delighted birdwatcher and cannot understand why my cat’s attention isn’t permanently taken by this new development.
Zoomed in photo of a pair of doves sitting in a nest. They’re quite obscured by the tree branches but appear to be sitting together in the nest The doves out of the nest, cuddling up on a white fence behind the same tree that they were previously photographed in.

Weird.
Screenshot of code demonstrating a perplexing Typescript behaviour. It shows three similar functions which take an input object that can either be undefined or contain a boolean value. If the input object is undefined, it exits early. Otherwise, it returns some variation of arg.value In the top test function, it returns true || arg.value In the second, it returns arg.value In the third, it returns arg.value || true The first function has a red underlined error on the return line, highlighting that "'arg' is possibly 'undefined'"

I can’t believe Leech Seed Caly-I is meta now. Just goes to show team building is about more than just slapping a single move on a mon.

Was at a quiz night at a local community club and at the end of it a lady came around with a bag of eggplants to give away.

I was drawn to the strong Veggietales energy from this one’s nose. Feel like it needs some googly eyes.

(Everyone else just said it had a 🍆 of its own)

My review of "The You You Are" by Dr. Ricken Lazlo Hale, PhD.
Chat log. You: Ricken's book suffers from trying to give the people what they want (shallow profundities) while also giving the people what they want (character/worldbuilding snippets) One of the chapters is about him REDACTED. But Mark in the show reacting to that chapter specifically wouldn't make sense to a viewer without giving them the context from the fictional book. But Mark not reacting to the chapter given that REDACTED is jarring now that I've read the flowery prose. Response: yeah, some things are better left to the imagination You: As masochistic as it was to go in and retrieve them, I'll enjoy the shallow profundities and story snippets all the more for the suffering I underwent to obtain them. Perhaps I'm too mouldable and his bunk philosophy has rubbed off on me after all :P

Went to the last local of Reg H. 3-1 in Swiss and dropped in first round of top cut.

I needed to refine the Maushold slot but with the Bo3 ladder retired on Showdown I had a lot of difficulty developing it.

Feel like I did the core of this team justice, so I am content.

You know how some people hoard consumables and potions in videogames and then never end up using them?

I just realised I'm like this with the leftovers I put into my freezer.

Well, let's do another dive into the stash.
a freeze-dried clump of what might be a stroganoff or a curry (the author doesn't know, but will find out). All the moisture that had been in the dish has formed an icy crust over it. A segment has been broken out and sits in a small pot next to the container it had been frozen in.

Not so sure about this profile pic. Doesn't feel as polished as @chenonetta.com's duck, but I've been stuck for a few days without being able to make clear improvements.

I do like that it's a companion, so you can draw a clean line between my accounts. But is that line even needed? I dunno.

Overnight I played in the Gameboy Tetris League season 2 playoffs, to attempt to break into the Premier league. VOD is up in two parts: www.twitch.tv/videos/22974... www.twitch.tv/videos/22974...

How cute is the little splash screen?! TheCodeCrusher surprised us with these cute little portraits!
Stream splash screen showing matches to anticipate in the upcoming video. There are portraits for each of the players participating in the event. The top half has a blonde girl on a Gamegirl Color facing down an Inkling girl (from Splatoon) playing on a Gameboy SP. in the bottom half, a Simpsons-esque character cries out, waiting for his upcoming matchup.
