Embarrassingly, I did not know that Parry Gripp was the guitarist for Nerf Herder until just now.

@scribus That sounds rad. One of the script treatments I’m writing as part of this series pitch is a spoof of supernatural media & part of me wonders, supposing I had to stay on the web, how difficult/expensive it’d be to get Nerf Herder to perform a cover of the Swole Foods theme song for that one. Definitely one of my production fantasies.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game because I just robbed two trains and took hundreds of dollars of cash and valuables, and the game still considers me a decently honorable guy, but my friend killed a domesticated duck for its pelt and he is literally Satan.

@zeldatra In Yakuza the protagonist is accused of murder but didn't do it. On the other hand in the actual game he breaks spines left and right, shoots people, jams a broken bottle into the abdomen, piledrive a person head first into the concrete floor. It's ok because after the fight they are shown to be alive but bruised.

@adiwan I’ve been playing through Yakuza Kiwami, haha. It’s my other favorite game right now.

The house will require a lot of work, like new electric wiring, new windows, and a new heating system as it is required here to replace a gas heater every 30 years and it is a few years until retirement. I'll replace it with something 100% electric and a heat pump and install solar panels on the roof.

@scribus Don't worry about that. Any ghost that decides to stay will get permanent spiritual damage by my presence alone. My awkward nerdyness and pony merch will ward them off.

I'm gonna be a home owner soon. Crippling debt yeah!
Thursday, 19-Jan-23 17:40:07 UTC from web-
@scribus About half my income will be just for repaying the debt and the rest is for getting it to a proper shape and comics. I guess I'll starve.
It's not that bad but the next few years will be rough for sure. At least I will be able to sleep and have my peace and quiet.

Got my tires yesterday and put them on my bike today. As it turns out, and as obvious it is in hindsight, the culprit for the puncture was a tiny rock. A rock as pointy as a needle and as black as the tire. I could only find it by guesstimating the location by the puncture location on the hose and then pushing really hard into the spot on the tire. The rock has dug into the rubber and I couldn't see it on my first inspection.

@scribus In a way I was very lucky that the little piece of Potato Knishes was found in the first place and it didn't got me stranded far away from home. I was lucky that it happened close to home. I have a small set of stairs a few meters in front of my cellar. There I pull my bicycle down so it bounces on the edge of the steps. Just as I opened my cellar door my bike fell on its own (it was on its kickstand) and there I found the flat. Moments before I could cycle and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, i.e. I had full pressure in the hose (between 4 and 5 bar).

Barely a day has passed and I got a flat on the same tire.

Usually people have heaps of dirty clothes. I have a heap of clean clothes. I finally folded 2 months worth of T-shirts. The funny thing is that I could go on for two more months and I still got folded T-shirts in my clothes cabinet to take out of.

Not sure if I mentioned this here yet but towards the end of last year I made the decision to move to the United Kingdom for a couple of years to be closer to my friends & develop Swole Foods with a team of creatives dotted around England, Northern Ireland, and the Netherlands, so this year I hope to begin the long & soul crushing process of acquiring a visa that’ll allow me to live in places other than on my friend’s couch. I’ve been told the requirements for non-Commonwealth citizens are somehow even stricter than the US’s, so I don’t expect this to be particularly easy or even for it to be finished by year’s end, but I think this’ll be good for me.

Ah... Great... Forgot that the next days the air will smell horrible like farts and eggs and it will be a ordeal to breathe. I can forget to think about airing my apartment. I rather smell my own farts than the horribleness that will come from the outside.

(It was tax-related. If they can’t even cut my taxes what good are Republicans? Because that was the last thing they could have done for me.)

@zeldatra Dude, man, sorry to have to break it to you, but you don't make enough for the Republicans to cut your taxes....

My 15 year old monitor died yesterday. It "displays" something. Backlight works but the fault is somewhere on the mainboard between the actual screen and the end of image processing. The display cannot even show the OSD properly. As it appears it will be covered by black lines and then it turns into a bright pillar from top to bottom (where the text would be). I just won an auction on ebay for a cheap replacement monitor of the same model. Why? It's 16:10 IPS, has tons of inputs, and it was cheap. 45€ with shipping. Also I cannot afford a brand-spanking-new one.

Admittedly I only have east coast prices to compare it to but I’m going to assume cigarette prices on the west coast are more comparable to New York than Virginia or North Carolina

Why did I think it was a good idea to try explaining magnets to a crackhead customer at work?

@scribus love crackheads, I’m so glad that now that the metro stop in my hometown is open the crackheads who I banned from my old store in DC are coming over to my new store in the suburbs so that I can explain to them all over again that no, you cannot trade a gallon of canola oil for a carton of cigarettes like this is some kind of bartering station in Roman Greece

@scribus it’s not, but it’s probably fairer in the south than it is in California, a pack of Marlboros is still under $10 here (currently $8.32 after tax)

アバター画像設定の件はたぶん無関係で、原因はたぶん現在のテーマ設定です。アバターアイコン置換のために、gnusocialjpというテーマを追加してデフォルトをこれにしました。ユーザーごとにテーマを設定できるようにしたので、既存ユーザーのテーマがneo-gnuのままだと思います。
