Ooh, my first blocklist. And it's from an AI loser? I'm honoured.

Finally got some snowfall, so I went out at 6AM and took photographs... at -7°C.

My attire did not help with the cold. And the neighbours were probably freaked out by it, too.

Anyway, photographs being uploaded soon.
A self-portrait photograph of AzureAmalgam3301 rested against a brick wall, wearing a thick, hooded wool coat and a black neck gaiter. Ditto, but with a Panasonic Lumix camera being raised into frame with my off-hand.

It's bloody freezing!

Also, selfie.

Just finished listening to Crimson and I think I might be developing an interest in Alkaline Trio. Longtime fans of the Chicago band, where should one go next to foster and strengthen this interest?

#music #alkalinetrio
The artwork for Alkaline Trio's 2005 album Crimson, depicting a woman close to the camera and a man in a black suit and hat in the background. The man is in focus and the woman is blurred. Red text for the artist name and album title appears on the center.

A new post game screen? Well, that is something.

I'm not sure what I feel about this.

#overwatch2
The Overwatch 2 post-game summary, containing a timeline of heroes played, the icon of the best hero performance (Vendetta in my case), and a progression statistic. Additionally, there are now six extra statistic fields to the right of the screen; Eliminations, Assists, Damage Done, Healing Done, Deaths, and Damage Mitigated. Another addition is a small icon for progression rewards under the progression level counter - a Vendetta themed banner in my case.

Another cassette joins the collection.

#music #retro
A cassette of Blink-182's 2019 album NINE.

Listening to my Walkman again, thought I'd share some more pics of it and the album I'm playing.
A black Sony Walkman cassette player, held against the side of a bookshelf. A strong blue light illuminates from behind the camera, and a teal light on top of the shelves accents the image. The same scene as before, but this time with the cassette packaging for TV Sky by The Young Gods

So... I bought a Walkman.

Got a tape coming in the mail and two others ready to go. Wish me luck(?)

My pumpkin, Dorian, is still going! I honestly expected him to have disappeared by now, but he's a strong one.

The lid has gotten too small, so I had to leave his head open. I guess I can just claim he's cosplaying Krendler from Hannibal.
A frontal view of a lit pumpkin, showing a wide smile with two fangs. Due to weathering and age, the fangs of the pumpkin have become rounded and shrunken, but have not completely disappeared. A top view of a weathered and aged pumpkin. The lid is missing and the pumpkin is very clearly dying, but the overall structure remains, as does the orange hue. At the bottom of the pumpkin is a lit candle.

Dorian is still going strong, although his lid is nearly completely gone. You can't see it too well but his teeth are also starting to shrink.

At this rate, I'm thinking I might run out of wax before he starts to decay beyond use.
A photograph of the top of a pumpkin, showcasing the lid suspended by a metal wire. The lid has shrunken severely, barely occupying half of the space it used to. Inside, the candle is lit, casting a warm glow in the area. A frontal view of the pumpkin. The lid decay is less visible from this angle, but still notable. The left fang has become rounded as it begins to shrink.

Progress on Dorian the Pumpkin - The poor fella's lid is starting to shrink as he gets older. Luckily, I was able to remedy this by piercing a paperclip through both ends. That should keep the lid suspended and let Dorian glow for another night or two.
A photo of a two-fanged smiling pumpkin, lit from the inside bu a candle. At the top of the pumpkin is the lid, curiously suspended by a straightened paperclip. The top view of the lid of the pumpkin, better showcasing the paperclip and how it stops the lid from falling into the candle. The metal pierces the lid at both ends. One end is buried in the flesh between the eyes, and the other hooks into the rear surface.

Dorian survived the day, so I'm reigniting him.

Extra pumpkin pics below.

Ever fall asleep too early and then spend an hour hastily carving a pumpkin because it's 3AM and you just about missed Halloween? No? Just me? Alright.

Anyway, meet Dorian, the honorary new addition to my household. What's he supposed to be? I don't know, I made him in an early morning panic.
A basic carved pumpkin with two round eyes, a triangular nose, and a smile bearing two fangs. A candle lights the pumpkin from inside. The pumpkin rests on a doorstep.

Been re-listening to Monochrome recently. Perhaps I was too harsh on it in the past, because this isn't actually as bad as I remember.

Still not a favourite, but I'm much more open to it now.
The artwork for Helmet's 2006 album Monochrome.

Hey, what's this weird mass of plastic that just appeared in my lap? Is this one of those keyboards people talk of?

In other words, I finally got a keyboard. There's probably gonna be a learning curve, but hopefully my music takes a turn for the better.
An all-black 25 key MIDI keyboard with eight touch pads, eight dials, and a plethora of control options.

Figured I'd share my DVD collection. They are almost exclusively second-hand finds.

If anyone is interested, I would also gladly share my CDs.

If you have questions about the collection, drop 'em below in a comment.
Two shelves of unassorted DVDs, all ranging in genre from superhero films, gangster movies, sci-fi, horror, action, and drama. Notable entries include 28 Days Later, the original Star Wars trilogy, Terminator 2, Full Metal Jacket, House MD, and Iron Man.

Have a photo I took this morning
A grey squirrel on the roof of an overgrown shed, squatting and gnawing on a small nut. The squirrel's tail is blurred as it had been flicking constantly.

(2/2)
A picture of a road covered in a thin blanket of snow and dimly lit by a streetlight. Multiple tire tracks have been pressed into the snow. A low-angle photograph depicting a misshapen mass of snow that at one point had been a snowman. The snow on the ground is thin, letting blades of grass poke through. A streetlight behind the snowman casts illumination on the scene. A photograph taken from my point of view, looking down onto the road. In the foreground, my hands are rested on a barrier. Snow blankets almost everything in shot. Two paw prints in the snow

Some winter photographs from last year.

(1/2)
A path lined with fallen leaves, snow-covered trees, and a few low-hanging bushes that have just narrowly avoided the snowfall. An electricity pylon against the white-grey backdrop of the winter sky. In the foreground are bare, snowy trees. A wintry landscape covered in a dense layer of snow. In the foreground is a narrow, thawed path and tall bushes. In the background is the start of a forest and the ruins of a stable. The dilapidated entrance to the stable. The door and all windows have been replaced with wooden panels, and the roof is little more than a few aged support beams. A golden-yellow tree sits right-of-center and the environment is coated in snow.

Render of Generic Formula Car

(an import from my previous Bluesky)

#blender #blendercycles #formula1 #3dart #3drender
A stylised Formula series car with a 2000s inspired high nose, a halo, and wheel covers. The main chassis is covered in a glossy white paint, with the wings and wheel covers being scarlett-red and parts such as the halo being accented purple.

Uh, game? I don't think that's Mercy...

(If I had £1 for every time I've encountered this glitch...)
The Overwatch 2 progression screen, displaying Moira against a blue-ish background. Despite Moira's presence, the written statistics do not acknowledge her and incorrectly read "Mercy, Initiate Valkyrie, 2 Minutes playtime"

what...

What the hell happened? Since when were there two Fortnites? (No, I don't play)
Two identical applications in the Epic Launcher menu. The left is simply titled "Fortnite" and centres on two gun-wielding characters. The right is titled "Fortnite Battle Royale" and depicts an ensemble of characters. (Sorry this is less descriptive, I have very little idea of what I'm actually looking at)

Pics
A photo of an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, at least if my research is correct. A photograph of a canal surrounded by plantlife, taken at the beginning of a sun set. There is a lens flare in the bottom right of the picture.
