Am I seriously sitting in the lobby of the health science building installing Arch? Yes. Yes, I am. Should I be? Probably not, but fuck it. Lab isn't until 13:00, so I've got some time.

Some bois at the campus bookstore

More no context, my calendar entry for tomorrow:

Here, here's a picture from the textbook, but this is what all the animations looked like. Now that you're seen how they look, imagine how they were animated. Yikes.

Uh... I... Uhm... Ah... WHAT?!

Guys, help. I think I stumbled into Superman 64

That said, she is quite precious when she goes on like this.

Yeah, uh, Fischl. That's nice and all, but could we, uh, get on with the duel?

Well, this feels kinda ominous.

Oh my gods, he's even got a title! AaAAAAaahh! ​

OH MY GODS THE KITTY HAS A LITTLE HAT AND BOWTIE!!!! AAAAHHHH!!! ​ ​ ​

I get this is probably just a typo, but I prefer the implication that Aether uses both she and he pronouns

Aaaaaaaaah!!!! There is goes!!!!! I have no words for how happy I am right now!!!

It's happening!!!!! Aaaaaaaah!!! Artemis I is gonna launch!!!!!

So apparently deviantArt is automatically marking stuff mature for "brand-safe marketing" and, uh, this old self portrait got marked mature. I guess this means I'm not "brand-safe". Thank fuck.

(Img CW: eye contact. Otherwise, I wouldn't have marked it sensitive.)

Here's a fun graph for you: number of christmas albums released per year since 1940. Starts off fairly low, then, starting in the early nineties, the numbers begin to skyrocket, peaking at 70(!!) in 2008, with the numbers declining heavily since then. I wonder what's up with that? I mean, Mariah Carey didn't help, but she alone can't be responsible for that peak a decade and a half later, can she? The world may never know...

I saw talk the other day about how useless Google is getting, but I don't think it's just Google. I think search engines in general are getting worse. I wanted info on the stalk market in the original Animal Crossing. DuckDuckGo gives me New Horizons info. I try excluding "New Horizons" and yeah. No matter how I try to tweak it, it continues to give me ACNH info, literally in the top few results.

Is this not how you exclude results anymore or have these things really gotten this bad?

Okay, well, it turns out, the code was actually pretty trivial. So, here you go, a list of alternatives to the fire/grass/water starter trio!

(I didn't do the greatest job in coding to avoid duplicates, but I'll remove any that popped up from the alt-text)

So, in case you were ever curious what it would look like, here's what it would look like if you took the matrix of what types are supereffective against what other types and interpreted it as an adjacency matrix. Honestly, this is kinda cool, if not the most useful thing out there.

He's a very good listener.
