after years of wanting one, bought a used roli seaboard off a local reverb guy, and it is so fun to mess around with!

@sabbatical omg jealous. I still remember watching the creator play “Slow Dancing” on one and being flabbergasted at how good it was

World of Warcraft is doing something it's never done before: it's re-running the Mists of Pandaria expansion as an alternate game mode with a reworked reward system and scaling, stackable, highly-overpowered modifiers. When the event is over, in 95 days, your completed character will be ported over to use in the main game and ready for the latest content. And Dragonriding, the new dynamic flying system, is unlocked from the start so you can zip and swoop around the continent freely. Tons of fun

I did not expect this post to be the one that garnered the most conversation so far this month. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I couldn't figure out what to write today, so here's a list of thoughts. https://niclake.me/35/

@hamatti @robb I've always lived in places without good/any public transport. For me, it's just about how I value time and being where I say I'm gonna be.

With my in-laws, we can't say "come over at 3”, because that means they'll leave their house at 3. We have to say “be here by 3”.

@Edent @robb Ours specifically said "do not hook the hot water up to this" lol

@robb This is me but with The Big Lebowski. What a trash fire of a film.

@robb If you've seen the memes, you've seen the only good parts of the film.

@dmoren yeah I’ve had that a few times for unknown reasons. Restarts fix it but 🤷🏻‍♂️

Starting to think the custom og images I use are more hassle than they're worth.

Like if I toot a post I've done, the title is there anyway so the image doesn't really add anything.

@robb I started defaulting mine, and can override it on a per-post basis if I want to.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker says Pride Month is example of 'deadly sin' during commencement speech

Of note: I don’t think it should be the responsibility of one woman unaffiliated with the Chiefs to do something about this.

But she IS one of the most powerful people in the world, and her fans are gonna be pissed about this.

This may be a really dumb ? - for @ivory on Mac, when I either type the @ or # signs and get the little slider at the bottom showing me matching accounts/hashtags, how do I navigate those via the keyboard? I'd assume "tab" but that's not right.

We spent quite a bit of time putting together a massive ink refill guide for Mark One. If you’ve ever been curious about rollerball, gel, or ballpoint options for Mark One, this guide is the key!

Do y'all have any old handles or screennames floating around in the ether? For today's , I look back on my main screennames over the years, and admit something I've never told anyone. https://niclake.me/whats-in-a-name/

@robb Hell yeah. This rules.

As wrapped up in the local hardcore music scene as I was, I somehow escaped never having a xXxGRAFFITISKYxXx username

@kyle I feel like I haven't listened to any new music this year. It sucks.
