The background music is a little faster today for the final 24 hours.

Whoa, I never noticed the moon has accordion hands! Thats weird!

It’s two characters, specifically Itchy and Scratchy from The Simpsons.

This is from season 20 episode 7, “MyPods and Broomsticks”. Scratchy is listening to a MyPod (parody of Apple iPod), and Itchy reaches over to increase the volume limit beyond its capacity. This causes Scratchy’s eardrums to explode. This scene occurs at approximately 8:37 into the episode.

Has anyone seen an ocarina dropped by a princess anywhere? It’s the magical kind that resets time and heals persons.

X and Y introduced Mega Evolution, arguably one of the greatest iterative improvements in Pokémon.

With the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A in 2025, I’m thinking about replaying X and Y.

Scarlet and Violet were so disappointing that I too am hesitant about future Pokémon games. But I’ll keep my eyes and ears peeled to see how their upcoming games are. I no longer am a day one buyer of Pokémon games, after being burned badly on the rushed Scarlet/Violet games.

If that’s in the US, that’s illegal. There are strict laws around on call availability. That company hopefully now has an on call policy, including availability, on-call standby pay, and on-call pay.

I make my company pay for a work phone and when I’m off the clock, I shut it off and put it in a drawer. I never check on work outside my agreed hours. A younger, naive me would. But an informed older me isn’t a sucker and advocates for work reform while drawing clear boundaries between work and personal.

Fuck your company for taking advantage of you. Glad you’re out, but hope the others there fought for fixing those policies or else they’ll just have major attrition.

“Home Improvement”. The man pictured is Richard Karn who plays the character “Al Borland”.

Sea of Stars, Marvel Rivals, and Superhot VR were the three games my spouse and I played that day.

Never had Tomagatchi. I had Pocket Pikachu. That shit was the best! I still have it to this day and it works.

I have sleep apnea. It’s very common. Get a sleep study so you’re properly evaluated and referred to the correct CPAP solution you’ll need. Then sleep with it.

I had an early model where it had a lot of background noise that wasn’t so bad for my spouse. However at certain points my mouth would open up and I’d emit a loud pressurized Darth Vader-like sound from my mouth. I’m checking with my provider to see if I can another sleep study and a different CPAP that will not bother my spouse as much.

Fun fact, sleep apnea is very dangerous and life threatening if left untreated. Get tested if you’re constantly exhausted and never feel like you get quality sleep. If you have a partner you share a bed with, they can help you identify you’re snoring and if you sound like you’re choking while you’re asleep - this happened to me and my partner woke me terrified that I might be dying.

British accent, they say? Okay NYPD, then explain Kevin Costner!

Oof I never read that. Well that’s disappointing.

It’s good to see clips from Loops as the Fediverse is trying to get their competitor to TikTok and whatever the other competitors from Facebook and YouTube are called. Loops can be a good thing but it’s still very nascent, so I appreciate OP making posts for Loops content to try to inform others and spread awareness. But I’d rather see an occasional cat video or something, as on Lemmy I prefer reading over watching stuff. I’m not the target audience for short form videos.

The short clip summarises the About page of GOG. https://www.gog.com/about_gog

Cool to spread awareness for people that are on those platforms and enjoy swiping through short videos. But here? Nah we’re okay. Plus I speculate the majority on Lemmy knows the value of GOG compared to more public places like Reddit.

Love Tales of Berseria. Velvet’s English voice actress excellently communicated such complex emotions ranging from anger, compassion, grief, and peace. Probably time for another replay!

Hi! I like technology! They’re comfy and easy to wear!

The sacred texts! Is this why Payless Shoes is no longer around? Because we minimated them?
