This begins my personal blog where I’ll put things I’d like to remember. I have a pretty shitty memory as it is, so as I piece everything together I hope to be able to hold on to it for a long time to come instead of being scared it will just disappear one day.
By the title you can probably gather that I feel I’m coming out of a lost decade. This post will be both about that decade and also a bit of a general introduction to me as a person. It’s my one year anniversary where I work and that means that after July I’ll officially be in my longest position I’ve ever held. My boss speaks highly of me. I’ve accidentally made myself an important part of the team. Things are going well there.

Speaking as someone who owns a less-than-a-month old Steam Deck OLED but is mostly and Xbox guy, I honestly don’t know how to feel. Portable Windows still sounds painful but an ecosystem would be pretty nice…

Robins Hatching
A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.

My co-worker’s sister died and it’s brought a lot of emotions up in me from when my mom died. Ends up, I think I’m just not great at dealing with death or loss.
Aside from that, I got a mystery injury that inflamed my left sciatic nerve branch. Walking around with a limp like the real “cool dude” I am while I try not to eat at work because using the bathroom cranks the pain up to an 11 when I have to sit down on something hard—especially at that angle.
Usually, I’d complain loudly about this at work, but instead I’m just kinda suffering in silence this week. With everything going on in the office, it didn’t feel right. Not that it’s a competition, but “my booty hurts” doesn’t really hold a candle to “my sister just lost her long struggle with cancer.”
I did manage to finally get my temporary tag in Alabama this morning. That’s been stressing me out. They still don’t have my title even though I’ve requested it twice now. But I just bought myself another 20 days to annoy the lienholder until they send it.
Things are looking up there…ish. My dad has it in his head that if I don’t formally cancel my registration in Georgia both of our licenses will somehow get suspended.
On the plus side, I’ve been keeping to more of a budget. So hopefully things will settle down soon.
Meanwhile, here’s some media I’ve been into recently.
Currently Watching
Taskmaster was my jam during peak-pandemic times. I’ve fallen off a bit since season 17 (didn’t finish and didn’t start 18), but I had to see how Jason Mantzoukas would fare. Loving it so far.
Currently Listening
This cover of “Take On Me” by Thunder Jackson has been stuck in my head all day today. I love a good dissonant cover.

Guide to EmuDeck on Steam Deck – Wagner’s TechTalk
I really want to get EmuDeck setup properly after tinkering around with it installed on the internal drive and tapping out so I could make room for WWE 2K25.
THE PENGUIN- Episode 108 – Final Script – 11.10 – the-penguin-it-starts-on-the-page.pdf
The Penguin was a great show, and I love being able to see the script behind the show or movie.
Currently Playing
I’ve been mostly on a backlog kick older games thanks to getting a Steam Deck recently.
WWE 2K25, Balatro, Crash 4, My Time at Sandrock, and Cyberpunk 2077 are the newest games I have. But, I’ve really enjoyed spending some time with Another Crab’s Treasure.
I’m pretty new to the soulslike genre, but I’ve been intrigued, so I picked this one up on a steep discount. Am I good at it? No. In fact, I’ve had to restart twice now just getting the hang of things.
But, it’s a lot of fun and keeps a tone that makes me less likely to jump off a bridge after I’ve died for the 50-11th time.
In the meantime, peace out losers, I’m going to Dog World!
