if i were better with words i would write some sort of ode to how majestic the bus home is when it crests the hill right before a stop i frequent. especially at night, you hear it chugging up the street first and it just pokes up over the edge behind cars stopped at the light. what a joy.

one of the creators of Disco Elysium, who have all seen their work stolen away by a corporation, has uploaded the entire game onto the Internet Archive.
it’s a beautiful game and it has stuck with me like very few stories have, in any medium.
https://archive.org/details/disco-elysium-ultra-compressed.-7z
EDIT: Probably not actually uploaded by the creators—I didn’t check the “uploaded by” for its difference from the “author” field.
Everything else I said is true: it’s a brilliant game and I can’t recommend it enough.

back when i lived in the area, one of the best things about december was the transit museum and the MTA running a preserved 1930s subway train on sundays. an absolutely delightful ride every time, and i miss it dearly. https://youtu.be/Hg4fORBtjJ4

might be entering the “having depression about it” phase of getting laid off after all lol

2024-08-08 17:45:22 UTC

well, i've been laid off.
gonna sit here for a bit and lick my wounds. and i've got some runway but i'd like to get back into a job pretty quick.
if you're hiring for a linux admin/ops-heavy SRE role (remote preferred, but in the seattle area), i've been poking computers and networks professionally for a decade. hit me up.
edit: should probably include my linkedin here, at least. resume available upon request, ofc! https://www.linkedin.com/in/selectric/ #fedihire
