infosec things, belated birthday
I’m a remote employee, and my hatchday was yesterday. My manager remembered and tried to send a surprise order my way.
This resulted in my receiving a mystery call from Uber Eats from my manager’s first name, which I denied.
We had a laugh that this was exactly the right way that security puzzle should have been handled.

I'm curious what people's favorite space photos are.
I can't choose individual ones, but the Juno probe got some beautiful pictures of Jupiter. I especially love the poles and detailed photos of the weather patterns.

A dragon is a cat who got what they wished for. *curls up in a sunbeam and goes to sleep*

I recreated my favorite shot from "Spirited Away" in No Man's Sky. Took quite a while to find an oceanic planet with decent weather, but the search was part of the fun. Updated my base catalog page with this base + portal glyphs to visit it. http://vectorpoem.com/nms
Masto meta, Amaroq
Removed an accidental boost because Amaroq doesn’t warn before boosting. I like this little client a lot, but I really wish it respected instance settings for confirmation dialogs.

We have shed the heavy shells we once crewed, and now roam the stars unencumbered.
Nintendo Direct
An oddly specific thing about Tetris 99: the format and presentation look exactly like how Puzzle Pirates did its naval battles (except using Tetris instead of clones of Puzzle Bobble and Super Puzzle Fighter).
I know of a few people that this appeals to specifically, and I kind of wonder if Nintendo hired them or any former Three Rings employees.

Nintendo: Here are games where you can be a Yoshi. Here is a game where you can give gifts and belly rubs to your friendly neighborhood dragon. Here is a glorious remaster of your favorite childhood game. Fire Emblem now has deep character customization. Oh, and Tetris now has 99 players, because why not.
I... huh.
Nintendo Direct
... they’re remastering Rune Factory 4, and that means getting an updated version of Ventuswill. Eeeeeeeeee
Also, that was an end-to-end spread of games that I’m all interested in playing, time permitting. Huh.

A possibly related phenomenon is called crown shyness – certain species of trees will very politely avoid overshadowing each other in a forest canopy, leaving gaps between each others' branches.
Mostly trees of the same species will do this, but different species of tree have been observed doing this too.
Again, no one's entirely sure how the trees do this, and some botanists are probably arguing about it somewhere right now.
more on Warframe Fortuna, mild spoilers
In a game that is 95% about things being loud and shooty, someone decided “what if we made this into a nature documentary that you can play”, and I think that is wonderful.
Warframe for Switch added a mechanic where you can save fuzzy woodland creatures and be rewarded with virtual plushies, and now my game’s Orbiter is a giant plush pile.

We know the lizard and cry with glee. You know the lizard and dance with pride. The lizard hears you but does not moan.

Don't forget to take care of the beacons of happiness in your community.
And the people who are there to cheer you up.
And the people who are there to listen to your ill.
They do need care too, but are often forgotten or overlooked, because they seem happy/strong/good. Truth is, they have their own struggles and if you don't take care if them, they are gone, eventually.
