Hi! I'm a fun-hearted and easy going geek of many flavors, looking to share my various gaming and hobby adventures with you! We may not be pro material, but we're here for the journey not the destination :D

Good morning fediverse! How's everyone doing this morning?

OffFleekGeek,

@cliffwade @brian IF you haven't seen it yet, check out The Traitors on Peacock. There's players from Survivor (including Cirie from this season of Big Brother) and Kate Chastain from Below Decks, so it's a bit of crossover from the shows you both watch. And hosted by Alan Cumming in a castle in Scotland so overall fun to watch.

    @scopique There's a bard somewhere that's to blame for this, right? It's seems like a bard thing, crit success on a roll to seduce a butcher shop.

    If I could change one thing about the default Mastodon advanced web interface, it would be to have whatever the modal action that you are taking... search, clicking on a profile, etc... pop over the first column instead of going out into the hinterlands of the last column.

    You basically get fucked for having a bunch of pinned columns.

    OffFleekGeek,

    @belghast THIS this this this this. It drives me nuts that they're opposite sides of everything else. The only way this would be acceptable is if everything in the middle was in a view that scrolled side to side and left the left and right anchored to the window.

    OffFleekGeek, to Everquest

    Today's blog post is about how I used to be an evil Everquest hacker and how I did it! You can read it at https://ofg.fyi/2023/08/02/my-life-as.html , and you can follow @OffFleekGeek to get updates to when I post new entries!

    ("evil" and "hacker" might be stretches of both words)

    OffFleekGeek, to random

    I come in a bit before time runs out on today's post! Where I talk about all the not writing of my blog post I did, and what I'm gonna write blog posts about :D

    Everybody is Posty McPostersons today! Trying to find where I left off, so you might get day old stars from me :D

    OffFleekGeek,

    @LadyMarth01 If it's more than a day old it might as well be in an alternate timeline, evil me with a goatee can bother with those :D

    (I'm ok.)
    Was feeling off yesterday morning, shrugged it off and did the 6-ish hour drive home. Part of the feeling off was heart palpitations, just feeling a bit of a "bump" every couple minutes. No concerning symptoms. But when I got home and took my pulse I was missing like every third or fourth beat.

    Off to the ER. It was calming down by the time I got there but still visible on EKG. "Ectopic heartbeats", something was triggering extra beats, which then reset the heart rhythm.

    OffFleekGeek,

    After a bunch of tests and a fluid drip to hydrate better it was mostly gone. Cardiologist said heart looks strong, I may just be inclined to get these (since I do feel these sometimes anyway) and something triggered it more today, possible some dehydration. So, need to follow up with a cardiologist just to check that plus to work on my tachycardia since my pulse rate is always high, but he feels it's nothing structural/functional that is a health risk. Got home at 1am, BLEH. LOL!

    OffFleekGeek,

    @LadyMarth01 Thanks! Yes, and being anxious about it increases heart rate so there's more "extra" heartbeats so it FEELS like it's getting worse, which loops around and around.

    Yep!

    Let's just throw all that brand recognition out the window.

    Elon Musk announces death of Twitter bird logo in rebrand to 'X' https://9to5mac.com/2023/07/24/twitter-x-rebrand-elon-musk/

    #X

    OffFleekGeek,

    @majorlinux Not only throwing out the old brand recognition, but the new x.com logo is pretty much the x.org logo with the circle filed off so it muddies everything up.

    Lol I did Google takeout for my oldest channel
    Google served me with nearly 8TB of videos I have to download in 159 parts LMAO

    OffFleekGeek,

    @EposVox I never thought to check if that worked at YouTube! Do you get the original uploaded file or one of their retranscoded resolutions?

    It's funny. Whenever I talk about coding I get replies asking if there's a repo to check out. But when I talk about writing nobody wants to know if they can read it anywhere >_>

    OffFleekGeek,

    @eniko I never ask to see either code or writing unless there's some sort of "if anyone wants to see it" suggested. I do some writing, and a lot of coding, and I know if anyone asked me to see it I'd have to laugh a little then hide cause noooooo, this is not fit for anyone with eyes to see without a LOT of clean up, and feel like if I wouldn't share I don't get to ask others to share out of the blue either.

    It’s hard to describe a lot of the music I listen to as beautiful but there’s no other word to describe Departure Songs by We Lost the Sea. Post metal at its finest

    OffFleekGeek,

    @HailsandAles That is beautiful, thanks for sharing that! Just listened to the track A Gallant Gentleman and it has a great slow burn build up. I really reminded me of the music in No Man's Sky when you do the jump to the next galaxy.

    (start around the 1 minute mark in the video if it starts at the beginning)

    @rm4 Excellent! :D

    OffFleekGeek,

    @rm4 Definitely. Plus just straight up eat entire species if he thought they'd taste good :D

    Am I like, honorary Gen z if I'm listening to skibidi toilet on repeat, or something? Or does that just make me someone with really odd musical tastes?

    It's like a glitch take on what made skatman good. Really didn't think anyone would capture that vibe again, but this fucks.

    OffFleekGeek,

    @glassbottommeg I've had bits of this stuck in my head for a week now from watching the weird youtube shorts. I should find the actual song and listen to the whole thing, maybe it'll free me!

    OffFleekGeek,

    @glassbottommeg Yes that should help at least add a little variety to the earworm!

    OffFleekGeek, to DC

    Oh hell, I wasn't paying attention. Harley Quinn Season 4 starts on the 27th!

    https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a44607696/harley-quinn-season-4-trailer-bat-cape/

    I need to speed boost my rewatch so I'm ready to go then!

    And yeah that means there's a week of July left? Where'd the month go?

    OffFleekGeek,

    @scopique Glad to help!

    I used to really pay attention to new show schedules! Robin and I would go over the seasonal calendars and mark when shows we were watching were starting up. At some point there was a lull in things we were interested in and started marathon streaming online instead.

    I'd say I want to dig all that info up again, but I'm getting the feeling the strikes and gonna last a while so it's all gonna change. And I'm ok with that, hoping writers and actors get their due!

    I woke up in the middle of my sleep last night and suddenly thought of a thing I needed to do with Kitsune Tails code wise and I've spent all day trying to remember what the hell it was and I've got nothing

    OffFleekGeek,

    @eniko Ugh, I hope you either remember or realize it wasn't a real thing and can be free of it.

    I spent like 3 days once anxious and sick worrying about something up in the attic breaking that I needed to deal with but was afraid to in case it was even worse than I thought. Mid day that third day I suddenly remembered there's literally nothing in our attic. I had just repeatedly dreamed about it so hard I was making it real in my head. I didn't even know what "it" was, just that it was broken.
