This guy just rips stuff off from around the internet, doesn't even remove the watermarks/autographs, and passes them off as his own... and somehow people are soaking this up and tipping him. Are you kidding me? https://noise.cash/post/ljwgqp34 https://noise.cash/post/lppr9p7w [EDIT] Oop, I botched the one screenshot... but both links are there. He went from Angie to Emma in a matter of a few minutes lol

Been really into this super nerdy incremental game called Bitburner. It's got a really cool approach where you can write scripts to automate things. Unlike other incremental games that pretty much just rely on idly clicking buttons, this one has a ton of depth to it with the things you can buy, places you can hack, etc. But on top of that, the code you write can make your idling more efficient than other people at the same point. There's no real point to it, per se - it's…

Another week, another #FullAlbumFriday. While I'm really not a fan of country music, this album toes the line of Country and Folk Punk. It takes elements of country and punk, with lyrics that are almost metal lol. Amigo The Devil - Volume 1 Rakrakan-O-Meter: [██████░░░░] - Relatively laid-back sounding, with lyrics that are anything but laid back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91MGC7wpkhM I was introduced to this album a few years ago by one of my co-workers and it's been…

This year has gone by far too fast. While I'm more than ready for winter holidays, I'm absolutely not ready for Sol Invictus/Christmas stuff... like at all lol. Gonna be a lot of last-minute shopping this year I think

There is no dip when you don't look at fiat equivalence. f(ಠ‿↼)z

Bonkers evening. On the way to my in-laws I drove through sleet that turned into a heavy snowfall. On the way back I drove through a downpour of rain that turned into freezing rain. Fun times haha
@abraxas
I think today I'll share some songs through the day that take me back to better times. A few nights ago one of the Twitch DJs that I watch put "This Boy's In Love" on deck. I haven't heard this song since probably 2009 or 2010, and it almost brought me to tears. I was immediately taken back to when times were much better. This was one of my favourite songs on a random mix that I burned. The Presets - This Boy's In Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R1X2TxW5Rk After…

The soundtrack for this game is PERFECT for focusing on work. The game itself was pretty cool when it first came out - a MUD that took place in a cyberpunk dystopia where players could hack NPC systems and eachother's in-game computers, and develop their own scripts and tools to try to come out on top. Unfortunately it was kinda ruined by some bad actors and a greedy developer who didn't really do anything to stop people from buying multiple copies of the game to run laps…
@abraxas
Been doing some "cards" for some Twitch streamers I frequent. I think these have turned out really awesome so far. There's still a few more that I want to do up
@abraxas
1upcoin... what a joke. Sounded like a viable solution for streamers to accept crypto donations, but look at the coins you get with a free account: BTC, ETH, LTC... could they have found any more expensive-to-use coins to let free users have access to? Considering most people only tip $1 to $5 USD this makes like no sense lol. Why even bother with a free tier when the coin choices aren't all that accessible? (side note, free users get SHIBE but it's mentioned "coin of the…

And so comes the end of another workweek, and another full album to add to the list! Today's #FullAlbumFriday is way more laid back chill than many of my others, yet still packs a punch in its own way. Mitch Murder - After Hours Rakrakan-O-Meter: [█████░░░░░] - Throw on some shades, grab your cyberdeck, and hack the planet! 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzETrlaaYe8&list=OLAK5uy_mbHNjDcalYXmCGzjf3Bc34UyCrhLlT7Xc This album would fall into the "Synthwave" genre - it pays…
@abraxas
Tried to make another card tonight, but this one's been a real struggle. All the other ones I've done have almost just done themselves. I can kinda pull colours from personalities and such... but the person I wanted to do this one for is a lot different than the other people and I realized that I don't really have a mental colour scheme of them. Anyway, somehow I ended up with this. It still made itself, but it wasn't what I was going for. I I think it's hilarious how…
@abraxas
Was really hoping to get into TEL as a launcher for my phone - it's as close to running and Android phone like a Linux computer as you can get; but as much as I wanted to love it, it was just a bit too clunky and battery-intensive. I realize that it's probably best to just stick with T-UI as my launcher and Termux for the Linux stuff. If anybody's interested, T-UI is a commandline-based launcher that's pretty straightforward to use and accepts most Linux commands, but…
@abraxas
Work holiday starts tomorrow! Can't wait - even though I still have one and a half workdays to do during the holidays, I can't complain. I'm basically off until the new year. It's amazing how far you can stretch vacation time during winter holidays haha
@abraxas
I dunno how I feel about this one... Like the last one I did, this ended up taking a turn into something I hadn't planned.
@abraxas
On vacation... Full Album Friday is coming, but probably not until later tonight. Should have posted before I went to bed last night - oops
@abraxas
#FullAlbumFriday on Saturday, because why not? lol This album's been with me for over a decade. Though I never managed to own a physical copy. I found this band from Need For Speed Underground 2 where they used the song "Scavenger" Killradio - Raised on Whipped Cream Rakrakan-O-Meter: [███████░░░] - Somehow this album is pretty laid back but also somehow kinda intense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlvtlIyTdhM&list=PL3EzePY3KWdFLzWPmKoLnNAfrEweUC8Rc&index=1 I don't really…
@abraxas
Didn't make it on here at all yesterday - just trying to catch up on notifications. Apparently yesterday marked the end of the first year of this site's existence? That's pretty rad! I'm still a few months away from my first year on here, which is still pretty hard to believe!
@abraxas
Do I ever have a perfect album for today's #FullAlbumFriday 😂 Boney M - Christmas Album Rakrakan-O-Meter: [██░░░░░░░░] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIpCVPaaI7Y&list=PLkS4Dk9lG89Ce05-jMVbuukeNT2GX9Dht There are a few half-decent Christmas albums out there - like the one by Twisted Sister, or the compilation of metal-ified carols called "We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year". But Boney M's Christmas Album album is where it's at. I first heard this one in a…
@abraxas
Now for something a little more on-brand! TST released a few "Satanic Christmas Carols" a few years back and they're great! Blessings of Knowledge and Fruit is probably my favourite of them all, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmb1oS99y2s Happy Sol Invictus!
@abraxas
Just a reminder that Santa is Satan 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzM-n04qLlQ
@abraxas
4:30 am, gifts are almost all wrapped lmao. I'm just glad that my kids usually sleep in pretty late - even on holidays.
@abraxas
This week is gonna fly by. Wednesday already! I've been super quiet on here because I haven't been on my computer as much - I usually peruse Noise while I'm at work lol. If anybody wants to drop in on me in the meantime, I usually go live on Twitch around 12:30AM EST (though even that's been a bit later this week) - https://twitch.tv/abraxas86 Hope everybody had a great holiday and something safe and fun to do for New Year's Eve!
