19:16: In BeddyByes when MeMo and BaBa shrink down to the size of the Yummies and eat with them and then return to normal size does the food grow with them or do they now just have a really tiny meal inside them?

This bothers me every time

16:05: 🔗 some great haiku and senryu. Particularly the senryu, which hit harder and have more to say than the many senryu that illicit a smirk but have little lasting impact

(a senryu is like a haiku but about human affairs rather than nature)

18:43: 🎮 started playing Chrono Trigger (1995) for the first time. I got it emulated on my phone, and it is turn based so pretty easy to play on touch screen.

This is the best looking and sounding SNES game I've played. the music is just wonderful. The humour (which feels like Yoshinori Kitase's influence) really lands too

22:31: 🎵 For some reason, I once had this song as an MP3 on an old computer in like 2010. I'd looked for it on MySpace and stuff back in the day, but since it wasn't on Spotify (which I've now left) it completely fell off my radar. I just found it again on Bandcamp, it's so good, what a voice

I wish I could buy it but I guess they're long gone

9:29: Looking forward to a day with the family celebrating my biggest little man's birthday

9:35: Using mastodon via the Progressive Web App on android is actually pretty great and seems to avoid the rate limiting issues I've had with other clients

11:51: Interesting kind of person who gets an invitation to a small, at-home child's party 2 weeks in advance then RSVPs that they'll be coming half an hour before it starts

17:36: Little man's birthday was a success. turns out directing other people's kids around is quite a transferable teacher skill

18:11: I get my Pocket Reform back next week from repair. Excited to have it back as it really is my primary portable computing device

21:36: My wife calls the Pocket Reform "the chode"
