So I figured out why I haven’t woken up to my alarm for the past few weeks. I’m not sure how the setting got flipped, but it switched to off for “Break through silent mode” so only haptics were going off on my watch while I was asleep, which was not waking me up.
Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…
Live now!!!!
I’m playing Pictomancer in PvP because I like to deal a lot of SPLASH damage
Hang on I’m trying to find one of Goku wearing Jordan’s expressing discontent
Not epic
We’re doing ranked PvP in FFXIV again tonight. Last week got me from unranked all the way up to Silver 3. Hopefully we keep climbing the ladder, my goal for tonight is to get to Silver 1! Starting at 7 pm CDT like always! Hope to see you there! twitch.tv/flanneljetpack
It’s basically: 1. If you mod your own client and don’t affect the servers or other players, then you do you 2. Stop posting your homemade mod porn to social media and tagging our game in it, you’re going to get us all in trouble and put us in a position where we have to take a stronger stance.
I’m 5 days late on my take on Yoshi-P’s response on appearance mods in FFXIV but I think that his official stance on the practice is more than gracious as the head of one of the biggest MMO’s on the planet
I’m replaying Expedition 33 during my Sunday livestream and I think I might have to bump the difficulty up to hard mode, because it’s actually way too easy the second time through. I beat the hidden boss in the coral section on one try, no deaths.
Ended up sleeping in till 11, might as well stay in bed all day
Someday, the void will scream back. So I’ll just keep on screaming till that happens.
Are you gonna watch all 4 of the Stenstrum Scooby Doo movies?
Ive done some quick hardware tests with Expedition 33 and it looks like it’s all working. So now I just have a couple of hours to emotionally prepare myself for my replay. I’ll be streaming it live on Twitch at 7pm CDT, so go give me a follow and turn on notifications! twitch.tv/flanneljetpack
Thanks for this, it was magical
It would sure be nice if driving over the speed limit was illegal

Literally prayed to God in the shower today, looked to up to the sky/ceiling and everything, to beg for a break. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is as an atheist
“Soul Eater” According to the guy in the gif, named Soul, they don’t have a particular flavor, but they have a really satisfying texture.
Based off zero evidence I’m pretty sure they already do this except they add an “Is” and a question mark to the headline
What? No my two rescue cats aren’t brother and sister. That’s so weird. They’re cousins, obviously.
so many people are going to die because not enough people were willing to believe that RFK jr would actually try to do exactly what he has said for decades that he wanted to do
CONCEPTUALIZATION - This is a serious violation of the karaoke code.
A few years ago* not sure how I messed that up that badly
I only got into football as a few years. The barrier to entry was definitely learning the rules but I liked watching the games with my dad and he helped explain everything to me. I’m sure having a pro football player teach you the game helps with that onboarding process.
You might ask “just remember that the AB and XY buttons are switched” but I kid you not I lost to Maelle in the tutorial trying to do this
The primary hiccup right now is that my save did not sync correctly so it’ll be a regular new game Also I ordered another new controller with an Xbox button layout because the game refuses to acknowledge my custom mapping for my Switch button layouts. Hopefully that gets here on time.
Gonna play my playlist out loud on the bus so that everyone knows how good my music taste is
Yeah im sure cops love to hear the president telling them they’re so bad at their jobs that they have to establish a military presence
I'm out of DC and a 65-ish black guy saw my DC plates and commented on the national guard presence. He told me he was a cop for 25 years and very pro law enforcement, but hates what they're doing with the National Guard in DC. Really hasn't hit elite media how broadly unpopular this stuff is.

One of the dumb things about philosophy is that sometimes in order to determine the truth value of a premise we have to rely on empirical data (stinky)
To be clear I’m not in the “get Smams to see they’re trans” camp, I’m in the “enjoys pointless debate over the logical structure of an argument” camp
But since we don’t KNOW how you’d react if you were trans, since you’re not, we only have the experiences of others to determine the soundness of the argument. One of the central premises is shaky since I think there’s a lot of trans people that would be more enthusiastic about the cat button.
Somehow I invisibly got 3 more followers so I missed the opportunity to say I had 420 followers and do a devil’s lettuce bit.
This argument is built off of the (I think demonstrably false) assumption that many trans people wouldn’t also choose the cat button over the magic transition button if given the opportunity
This weekend im going to see if I can get Expedition 33 working on my computer to maybe start a New Game+ for the Sunday streams. I think I’ve sussed out what the issue was last time and it was as simple as “My gamepad for FF14 was registering as the player 1 controller” but I’ll have to see.
If 16 year old me saw me drinking instant coffee in 2025, they would be shocked and appalled. But they have not yet fully come to know the Horrors
This is sooo problematic, have you considered that the dog you’re talking down to might be the mayor or perhaps a pro basketball player???
Aha, how about this one, “Is that the new Nintendo Switch 2? My favorite Mario is the purple one”
Fuck, give me like 30 seconds to rifle through these notecards they gave me to sound cool to teens
Would a fed say “I’m high on life”?

My game "Replicube": Code, Logic, and Math never looked so TASTY🍉 25% off on Steam right now to celebrate back to school! s.team/a/3401490
In the steam hardware survey I saw that Linux Mint is the most popular distro in use so I decided to look into it, because maybe they know something I don’t. Then I saw that KDE isn’t officially supported and that was a nope from me. Wayland is a buggy mess but I love it
The one exception is a ham and butter sandwich on sourdough. I can eat that for about two weeks at a time before I get bored of it and think of something else to do.
“Why do you spend so much money at restaurants?” Because sometimes I would rather not eat than force myself to eat the same meal two days in a row. Three days in a row is usually impossible
Being neurospicy and trying to buy food for yourself is so fun. You’ll get a thing of strawberries and then the first three are amazing and refreshing and then the 4th one will have an identical flavor and texture but will be so repulsive that you let the rest sit in the fridge till they rot
I was gonna go out tonight but I’ve got to go get groceries so that’s my Main Scenario event for the evening

Yeah it’s pretty rad calling myself Fidget and having everyone call me Fidget not gotta lie

I read shame as anime and I was like “weird take” and now I have to go and reflect on why I misread shame as anime
I was going to @ you on this but decided against it
Physically, I am working. But mentally, I’m in FF14 PvP.

If I can just make it to the 3 day weekend I think I’ll be able to keep my sanity until the next 3 day weekend
Which is wild because it’s very apparent that the first batch of people to make fun of blue hair protesters in the 2010’s were all people who firmly believed and taught that women were objects that you own through the holy contract of marriage.
Without downloading any new images where are you at mentally
I’m here to prove the exception to every rule

Live again, it’s Tuesday again, we’re doing the same thing I do every Tuesday again, which is do the latest alliance raid to get a coin that I can spend on gear to marginally improve my stats on one character. Exciting, right? twitch.tv/flanneljetpack
Joe Biden walks into the theater and gives you a plaque. Nobody is sure why he is there.
The entire audience stands and claps. You look back and the one retired veteran in the back is giving you a salute.

If this was triggering for me to read in snippets I can easily see why somebody talking to this chatbot in realtime would be led to end their life. And why they felt seen and heard enough to not seek help. It’s hard to read but we need visibility on how fucking DANGEROUS this tech is.
MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE Reading through this made me queasy and disgusted and angry. I feel so much more anger than anything else. I felt the pricking at parts of my mind that I lock away while reading through ChatGPT’s responses, I guess that’s what they call a trigger. Horrific.
Do you think I would get a MacBook if I got hired here (I don’t have any qualifications)
It’s probably something that works better in manga, where the pacing is determined by the reader, but in anime form where the pacing is determined by the director it really ruins the story. Latest episode of Gachiakuta is the example that’s fresh in my mind right now.
So many anime series now start in the middle of a story with a fully developed character but all of the pertinent information to that character’s development occurs in the past so you have important plot moments interrupted by flashbacks over and over and over again.

The free coffee they provide at your office should taste like a punch to the gut. It should make you say “This coffee’s brutal…” to your coworkers like Lt. Columbo It builds character, it turns your bland and boring office into an interesting place.
Doing some ranked Crystalline Conflict in Final Fantasy XIV. Don’t know what that means? Well come check it out! twitch.tv/flanneljetpack

It was never a proper noun, either. God it’s like you’re TRYING to lose this debate I sprung on you
I call bullshit, ‘guy’ isn’t a pronoun, it’s a noun
and these people will still complain if you call trump or his supporters nazis or fascists
Moonring is very cool but I don’t think it’s a good Stream game for me. It’s a very slow, methodical game where you just want to zone out and get lost in it, which I may very well do when I’m not live.
Live now! I saw a post about Moonring the other day and it looked intriguing! And it’s free on Steam! So we’re taking a look. twitch.tv/flanneljetpack
