Twitter seems to be turning into a ghost town? Dunno how much longer I'll keep tweeting here, but you can find other places to contact me at the bottom of my homepage. 🖥️⚡🌎 rainwarrior.ca

E DUDE ABIDES. I'm pretty sure this graffiti has been here by the lift bridge for about a decade now.

@ForceBotNES There was egg yet to come.

@bbbradsmith My Lizard 🦎 is the Lizard of ketchup and cheese sandwiches 🥪!!!

Protip: ketchup packaging is designed to "accidentally" squirt out more ketchup than you wanted. Put it into one of these and have perfect ketchup forever.

The most memorable part of The Deer Hunter for me was always John Williams' Cavatina. Hearing it might have been the point in my life that sparked an interest in the classical guitar. youtube.com/watch?v=gGycDD…

I put some beets in my shrimp curry and it turned very red! Quite curious... 🦐🍛🍠

The pepper plants have been growing alright, in a few weeks maybe they can move outside. Two of the jalapeños seem a bit behind. The old reaper plant has two nice little peppers growing. 🌶️🌱

Moving the peppers to nursery pots.

My fifth year of pepper growing begins. Again carolina reapers, and jalapeños. 🌶️🌱

Pixels. What are they? We just don't know. kickstarter.com/projects/11010…

Got tricked into buying this "broccoli rice", which is just chopped broccoli stems? Cooked it, mixed with rice, roux, and spices to make some sort of broccoli risotto, which turned out pretty good.

Right from the very first message they sent to my new Gmail account in 2004, Google was reading my mail to serve ads.

Aside: people for years have been complaining that e-mail is not secure. We have PGP end-to-end encryption, and it's easy enough to use. The problem is the major e-mail providers want to read your e-mail, so they will not give you this feature. You have to take it for yourself.

Finally migrated 20 years of old e-mail out of google mail. Feels pretty good. Despite what it says in the image, Google's servers don't feel sadness. I resent when corporate machines whine that we're not paying them enough tribute.

@bbbradsmith where did you migrate to?

I've been beta testing Bio Creeps and I think it's a pretty fun and unique game. Also challenging!

Little Shop of Quarters is just one of the places you'll visit in Cinema Hills. Whether you want to pick the owner's brain, play a few games, or rent out one of their lockers, there's plenty to do! Beyond the Pins 2: The Second Frame Coming soon to NES, DOS, and PC/Mac. #nesdev

One of the rarest items in my NES collection: Beyond the Pins. It's a lovely short adventure/bowling game. It never got a release beyond its initial short run for people willing to gamble on a mystery cartridge. youtube.com/watch?v=Uj9V1Z…

@atonofglaciers LOL well I do have my own private dump of the ROM too. ;) Well, I'm hype for a sequel that more people get to experience.

@bbbradsmith Hey B-rad! No, we were pretty adamant that the game jam cartridge was the only way to play it. For better or worse we've stuck to that. I did come across the ROM when doing a little bit of googling research though, so it's definitely out there for anyone who wants to find it.

Sometimes I remember this dumb YouTube channel I made to post fake GXSCC versions of NES soundtracks with stupid descriptions. I guess I thought it was funny, but I didn't have the stamina to make enough for anyone else to find funny, like, statistically. youtube.com/watch?v=-l98Hn…
