Spent a lot of time this weekend cleaning and reorganizing various parts of the house. Still more to do, but I'm going to be so proud about the end result once it's all done!

Today's been a good day! Reconnected with a friend at work and it's been fun, work's been rough but we've been able to get through it together. Been eating good food, the weather's been nice. I also came in today with a pretty good attitude too, which also helps lol!

I'm like just this evening finally over the cold that I got, which is almost exactly a full week since I started getting it. In hindsight, a week isn't that long a time, but I've been so annoyed with how slow the recovery felt. I was like 70% better by Monday, the remaining 30% took 4 days lol

So I had a mildly interesting weekend.

- caught a cold that I'm still recovering from (mostly better now!)
- went to a concert with a friend, to go see Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers! It was such a fun time!
- I got to eat a giant pretzel at said concert

At a concert for the first time since college!! I'm having fun!

Like I mentioned last weekend, I'm starting live streaming again! If you want to see me start to play some Mario Party, come join me at twitch.tv/JaykeBird

As I also mentioned then, I won't be making a social media post like this every time, so just know I'm here every other Thursday at this time!

Getting back into live streaming!

Every other Thursday, starting this week 11/6, I'll be slowly making my way through every (home console) Mario Party game!

New article on ★ daiz.moe

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Pros and cons of drinking a beverage (in this case, coffee) right before bed:

Pros:
- very delicious
- don't have gross half-full cup to deal with in the morning

Cons:
- wake up really needing to use the bathroom
- now I need to prepare a new cup

I feel like at this point Xbox's plan is to act like a third party publisher that just also happens to have their own console they're selling.

Makes sense from the perspective of reaching a larger audience, but I'm wondering where they'll end up 5 to 10 years from now.

Opened up Bandcamp for the first time in months yesterday, ended up buying a City Girl album I missed earlier, and then come to discover they were actually releasing a new album today?! Just listened to the whole thing, this new album is amazing! What a wild and fortunate coincidence to discover

So today is the day that Windows 10 is out of support. Doesn't mean you can't use Windows 10 anymore (heck, I have my Windows 95 machine ready to boot up at any moment), but no more security patches and updates.

I get the push to get people on the "latest and greatest", but I think... (1/5)

Last month, I talked a bit about my trip to visit my mom in Florida. Here's a small selection of the photos I took! (but I can only do 4 photos in each post)

The NASA Kennedy Space Center was extremely cool! Definitely the highlight of the trip. Shout out to our tour guide Bart who was so fun (1/2)

Finally finished A Hat in Time tonight! This was such a a fun game, I enjoyed it so much! Felt so amazing and nice to control, and I enjoyed how each level/world was it's own kind of different.

Great work by the dev team! I, like so many others, am now eagerly curious to see what they do next!

#Hermitcraft season 10 was the first season I got into Hermitcraft with! I'm so glad I stumbled into this group of friends and community, the hermits are all such awesome people! Bittersweet to see season 10 come to an end, but looking forward to season 11!

My spouse and I just watched the Knights of Guinevere pilot and hooooly cow. Was not expecting most all of what we just witnessed! Reminded us a lot of like 90s/2000s anime (Utena, Ergo Proxy). Really interested to see what comes next! Incredible stuff.

I don't have many IRL friends (or online friends) that would know much about what this is, but I've been pretty excited and proud of myself for having made this!

Might've looked weird at work if I looked too excited, so I've had to contain myself all day lol
So I built a 2D particle emitter for WPF this weekend (well, I started on it actually a while ago, but now it's mostly finished). It's not the most advanced, but it's good for what I want.

Not sure how many people actually need/want it, but I'm debating including it in SSUI 2.0. #dotnet #wpf
