The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool being broken had the potential to be mildly amusing if it hadn't been broken THE DAY BEFORE WINDOWS 10'S EOL.
Also, their PC Health Checker can get into the sea, because THAT WAS BROKEN TOO.

Finished watching the pilot for Knights of Guinevere.
A great concept with sharp tongue-in-cheek commentary, excellent voice work, and animation that turns from charming to grim on a dime.
Dana Terrace and Glitch have made something unique and brutal and lovely, and I want more

I'm going to put aside the weird feeling of seeing a saint born after I was, but since we know the guy was big on halo 2 there are now people who in 2004-2005 got fragged by a saint on xbox live
Pope Leo XIV canonized Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old who died in 2006, as the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint on Sunday.

Pledging because the premise seems cool, the Dodecadonuts folks seem cool, and I crave chaos and making kitchen mischief.
It's a brand new card game from the makers of the Dodecadonut! Live on Kickstarter now!

Happy to move my purchases to my local game store or union shops like Card Kingdom in support. I'm joining the boycott and encourage my fellow card gaming enthusiasts to do the same.

Sous Chef Ghost is here to tell you that cold days are for baking, taking breaks to pet kitties, and calling your representatives to demand action regarding illegal department dismantling and theft of your private data by Elon Musk. Or whatever issue is on your mind, not like we're short on issues.

Did I do much this weekend? No.
Were the things I did important? Yes.
Am I unwinding by watching Castlevania Nocturne, organizing my bookshelf, and polishing my swords? Also yes.
Am I a colossal goddamn nerd? My reader in Christ, I have some pointed questions if you're only asking that NOW.

Fuck.

One of the best things about social media is the robust afterlife of Ea-Naṣir.
Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."
I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.
