  • Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, and experiencing extreme levels of nostalgia. My goal is to play through every HD Remix and reexperience the joys of my childhood before finally seeing what Kingdom Hearts 3 is about.

  • So glad I'm no longer on any social media platforms where these people hunt. I left Facebook (for unrelated reasons) shortly after I got an invite to someone's Oriflame page. :D

  • I actually burst out laughing when I realised the whole

    in the background when I went to check out the homepage. The website is asking the question we all are. :D

  • Abandoning social media has never been too difficult for me. I deleted all Meta (back then still Facebook) platform accounts after the large phone number leak. I deleted my Twitter account after Musk took over (could foresee the stupidity). I deleted my Reddit account because of the API change announcement.

    Make me angry enough and I'll leave your platform. The platform needs me more than I need it.

  • I don't have to scroll a long time here to find the content I like. I scroll through until I find things I've already seen and then I do other things. I've had a lot of time to be creative without addiction-fueled social media scrolling.

  • Years ago, I was into Geocaching. For the uninitiated, users hide small caches around the world, and the cache usually includes at least a log where people who find the cache can mark their visit. The coordinates of the cache are marked on the Geocaching website and people use GPS to locate it.

    I thought it was finally time I'd put one of my own caches out for people to find, so I went to scout out possible locations for it. It was late autumn and was still light out. I knew that I wanted to put it on a nature trail I liked to walk so I went there.

    One thing to know about late autumn up here in the Nordics is that it gets really dark really fast, meaning I was enveloped by a dark forest pretty quickly after making it to the trail. No matter, I thought, I had my phone and it had a flashlight, so I kept going, despite it having low battery (which, in hindsight, was a mistake).

    I found a spot for the cache at about the halfway point of the trail and made a mental note of it, planning to come put it there during the limited daylight hours.

    And soon after... Lights out. Phone was dead and I was in total darkness. Ambient light was close to non-existent due to how cloudy it was. I felt a bit panicked about the situation but kept going, feeling around with my feet to make sure I wouldn't walk off the trail.

    Lucky for me, I was quite familiar with the trail and eventually managed to come out the other end on a gravel road that was also unlit but at least easier to traverse and eventually got back home.

    Not the scariest possible experience, but you can imagine how it feels to walk through a silent, damp forest in pitch black darkness while trying to feel your way out. Not sure I would have fared this well if the trail was unfamiliar.

    I did get the Geocache out there the next day, and it remained there until I moved out of the area.

  • 38 seems to be the highest. Creme Puff died three days after her 38th birthday.

  • Of course my family members call me. It's the only way they get the tech support I used to offer in-house. :D

  • I'm also between gen Z and millennial and was the family's tech kid and still get calls. Are you me? :D

    Just yesterday I got a call asking how to select all images in a directory... And then another call about how to get those images to Google Drive, which is literally just drag and drop... And one of the people involved was my gen Z younger sister.

  • I've had bot accounts follow me in the past and blocking removed them from my follows.
