Walking out of the gym at 8AM and it’s bright for the first time in months.

Winter depression is no more.

"this soda has 7 grams of protein" and this earth has fallen into irreversible corruption

This is on PS5, PC may be different

I could also enable crossplay of course, but I am already bad at the game as it is without playing against mouse+keyboard players lol

As much as it pains me to say, Battelfield 6 seems to be on a decline and lately it is taking a much longer time finding players for some of the big maps (and sometimes ends up populating them with bots).

Two freshly poured pints of Guinness. A man is holding the one in the back.

Nothing beats Friday lunch pints.

Spain sees third rail crash in one week as train hits crane in Cartagena Spain is still reeling from Sunday's high-speed train collision in the southern Andalusia region that killed at least 43 people

Third train accident in Spain within a week, what is going on...?

What about all other forms of animal abuse, beyond the food industry?

So not only eating animal products, but also using cosmetics tested on animals, wearing leather, etc. Those are all choices, just not ethical ones.

Back-scratching bovine leads scientists to reassess intelligence of cows Brown Swiss in Austria has been discovered using tools in different ways – something only ever seen in humans and chimpanzees

Veganism is not that hard - Do not eat anything that knows how to use tools to scratch its own back

I finally had some time to play around with self hosting in the fediverse and I started by setting up my own BookWyrm instance. This is so cool!

You can find me at books.prats.co/user/JJ (or @jj@books.prats.co)

Where are you mentally?

Also how do stamps works? And what's the difference between first and second class stamps??!1?!!1!one11!1

Here I am again, a failed adult, googling how to send a letter and making sure I'm adding the sender and recipient addresses correctly.

I’ve just heard of Tearscape, and it 100% looks like a crossover of Bloodborne and Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons, with a Metroidvania-Style map.

I can’t express how much of my cup of tea this game seems to be, and can’t wait to try it.

This is the saddest depiction of Ouroboros I've ever seen.

Screenshot of a chat conversation with ChatGPT where the source linked at the end of its response points to grokipedia dot com

Wow, so ChatGPT is now listing Grokipedia (of all things) as the source of some of its answers... 😅

I can't believe Goodreads still does not offer dark mode in this the year of the lord 2026.

Time to build a book reading tracker in Notion instead.

Considering modding my Quest headset as I’d really, REALLY love a Electric Callboy, My Chemical Romance or Twenty One Pilots pack. They would be perfect for the game.

Christmas sandwich with stuffing, rosemary vegan chicken, vegan bacon,stuffing and gravy

Christmas in a sandwich - hell yeah

Or my fav cafe in town, which does a Christmas dinner wrap or sandwich with pretty much all of the above, plus stuffing too.

December is such a wonderful month.

My absolute favorite thing about Christmas is all the different ways you can have a Christmas dinner throughout December.

My local pizza place does a Christmas dinner pizza, with Brussels sprouts, parsnips, (vegan) pigs in blankets, and gravy instead of a tomato base.

Can't hang out right now, I'm currently on my bi-yearly Minecraft hyperfixation month. See you all in December.

10°C this morning.

Going out for a little bowl of vegan stew and a toastie, a coffee and maybe start looking at getting some halloween decorations.

My powers are growing.

Had a brilliant time at @bsidesbelfast.bsky.social , and particularly loved the couple of talks about malware delivery through Sims 4 mods, and the history of Video Game Console Hacking.
