There's unauthorised rain happening at my house.

Saturday Pippin is listening out for what’s going on… but also drifting off to sleep.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

In which the Australian Broadcasting Corporation of the 1980s indoctrinated Australian youth to reject Christianity.

Is everybody else's Pippin so judgemental?

I think mine is malfunctioning.

I could listen to George Takei talk about anything.

Sorry if I didn't deliver on the "hot-takes" front.

There's like 10 of us in a work chat discussing our future based on one specific budget measure.

If anyone wants a serious reason why I'm awake...

It's because while my brain has survived "the illness", my respiratory system is still coughing semi-constantly.

FWIW I did not notice any earthquake.

I've decided to watch 'Forbidden Planet' from 1956, starring Leslie Nielsen.

Surely it will be a fine film.

Pippin cat is in a bit of a mood.

I gave him a cat toy to chew on for a while, which he absolutely attacked and cheered him up.

But I had to take it off him, cause I need my arm and hand to type up toots on Mastodon.

It's blowing my mind that Final Fantasy, one of the most Japanese of 'Japanese Role Playing Games' was programmed by Iranian-born Nasir Gebelli, who left Iran to avoid the 1979 revolution.

Studied programming in the US, and did notable work on the Apple II before being recommended to Square.

He programmed the first three Final Fantasy games and also Secret Of Mana.

What a champ.
