Hey there hi there ho there - we're doing intros?
I'm Jay. Long ago I was a Jungle Cruise skipper at Disneyland. Today I'm a gamedev at Respawn Entertainment.
I have 3 cats - Togepi, Moo, and Mothman.
My hobbies are various tech-y things, working on my tiki bar, and my N-Scale model railroad!

Ordered a CORE One from @prusa3d.com a couple weeks ago and it's been nothing but headaches. Super frustrated and disappointed right now.
I loved my old MK3S+ so this is such a bummer

Forgot to mention it the other day, but the most recent update to Apex Legends (27.0) is the first one that has code I wrote in it!
Not a lot of code (just a couple bugfixes); a lot of what I've worked on recently is 🤐. But in the most technical of senses it's my first Apex release!

Alpha School, which promises to educate kids using an "AI tutor" in two hours a day, is a budding national empire and a darling of the Trump administration.
According to some parents who spoke to @wired.com for this investigation, it's had nightmarish effects on their kids.

Parents Fell in Love With Alpha School’s Promise. Then They Wanted Out
In Brownsville, Texas, some families found a buzzy new school’s methods—surveillance of kids, software in lieu of teachers—to be an education in and of itself.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a Christmas movie. It’s not a Halloween movie. I don’t care when people watch it, but at least see it for what it is. Also, SWAMP THING is an Arbor Day movie.

Since 2020, I've been working on a #ModelTrain layout.
I thought it'd be fun to take a moment and talk about decisions I've made during the design process and why I decided on the areas I have.

Fun fact:
On Sunday strips, some newspapers cut off the title panel (plus the adjacent panel). That's why you get 2 jokes like this - the header panels may be missing.
Watterson hated this and eventually secured an exemption for C&H and C&H _only_.
You can see the difference in later Sunday strips

Very specific, but are there any graphic designers/illustrators with open commissions that have experience in designing custom LEGO minifigures or LEGO MOCs?

My fiance isn't feeling well which means she controls the remote - and I get to suffer through her choice of shows to watch.
We're watching the 2025 Winx Club reboot on Netflix. This is without a doubt the WORST show I've ever seen. It's impressive how bad it is, like watching a train wreck
