Really enjoying Somerville so far, which is on sale and Steam Deck verified. It's made by some of the same people that made Limbo and Inside, which are two of my favorite games. It reminds me in ways of the classic "Out Of This World".

Doing illustrations for my O2 Concentrator blog post. Tried tracing a photo on my reMarkable for the first time. I like how it turned out!

Anyone tried one of these wire EDM 3D printer conversion kits? I'm fighting the urge to order so hard. 😅

Video showing a ~3mm sheet of metal being cut, under water, by a wire EDM tool fixed to a 3D printer. The metal piece is then embedded in a 3D print, paused mid print, then printed over. The part is then used to replace a fully 3D printed part on the machine itself, in truly rep-rap style.

Made myself a nice dinner of penne with marinara sauce, shrimp, kalimata olives, and capers

My oxikit-style PSA oxygen concentrator is finished, and it looks appropriately serious. I'll start writing up part 2 of the blog post soon, and then when I finish my torch manifold, I'll be making a video for the YouTube channel.

The weather here seems determined to find every leak in my roof and to make my driveway impassible by washing all of the gravel to the bottom

Here’s one for the photographers: Anyone else noticed this ‘target’ pattern in their aurora pictures? I had seen it once before in an aurora pic from Iceland a few years ago, and this pic is a central crop of one from last weekend - noise rejection off. Anyway, I did some reading and this is an optical interference pattern called Newton’s Rings, and it’s quite common in aurora pictures, because the light is monochromatic (single colour/wavelength). (Contd) #aurora #newtonsrings #auroraborealis

Whenever a smaller content creator starts a read for RAID Shadow Legends, I don't even get mad anymore. I'm like, "hey, good for you, get that bag"

Playing SM64 Romhacks and calling Mario Italian racial slurs that nobody's heard since the 19th century

A friend told me they had a dream that Bryan Johnson (the tech billionaire who seems to be transitioning into a woman in his quest to stay young forever) was raffling off packages of the food he eats to remain youthful and my friend won one of them.

When my friend got the food, it came in a minimalist plastic pouch like tuna would come in, except the label said it was human meat. My friend said they decided to try it in their dream.

Cool organic generative art. A random color is chosen, then painted at a pixel with neighbors with the closest average. Simulated on a Fibonacci 1024. Inspired by "Rainbow Smoke"

A large disc of LEDs with colorful patterns is painted a pixel at a time to generate interesting groupings of color.

Far SWVa, just barely visible green and pink glow on the northern horizon. No ribbons of light, nothing spectacular in person, but night mode on the phone captured these at about 130am

I just found out about a local plant shop whose owners have become completely deranged with fears about the Chinese Communist Party, and several yelp reviews of their store tell sales of being thrown out because the owners became suspicious that they were spies.

I want to make up shirts that say "C.C.P. -- California Commission on Plants" and go in there with a friend and start measuring their plants with calipers and taking notes in a notebook

For a long time I didn't ask anyone for help with my panic attacks. I more or less told my GP what to prescribe, I developed my own coping techniques, and I isolated when it got too hard.

Unfortunately, the experience of asking for help has felt more or less like finally pulling the fire alarm and the lever comes off in your hand.
