Man I should just like post my backlogs - They are never gonna be finished so might as well pose them😭😭

The Last Sardine Left in the Tin

he knows just what he is,

he’s watched the others one by one

he knows what waits for him.

he’s not scared (or so he says)

he’s been here long enough.

he says “whatever will be, will be, when my candle is finally snuffed.”

His cold cloudy eyes watch the sky, though it’s not like he can see.

your fork descends, you pierce his skin, splitting soft spine in your teeth.

his bones are butter from years stacked on marinating there in the din.

He can’t resist, he’s just glad you remembered

the last sardine left in the tin.

— current stalled Visual Novel-backlog 😓

..

(and some of them are on switch, but i have to buy a switch lite again first cause i’ve sold it.. but i’m playing re9 rn as well, and i have way less time now uh)

i just realized that i never really introduced you guys to my “main” wol, alm! (or more specifically, my vanilla wol) he is a completely separate character from albus and doesn’t exist in the same universe, despite looking the same

he is basically (and literally) a goofy uncle character who also happens to be a lominsian socialite/head of a shipping company that deals with importing raw materials around the world for arm/bsm. there’s so much more story + art for him written on his th that would take up too much space, so i’ll leave it at that.

i do have a wip of a new outfit i want to draw for him at some point when i’m less busy 💦

I really don’t have anyone to show this to, so it’s for Tumblr I guess!

I have a stupid spreadsheet which is a backlog of games/movies/shows/comics etc, with dates of when I finish them, and a bunch of other stuff. Absolutely pointless, probably bad for me, all round Terrible Idea.

And recently I added a new feature in - a pretend TV guide:

I’m nearly 40 and when I was young there was a thing called a “TV guide” which your mother would buy in the grocery store line and inside it was a display something like this that would show when shows would be on TV on different channels, so one chart per day.

Of course, being that that’s a silly thing to reproduce in 2026, I’m not going to stick to the schedule, and I don’t have more than one channel, instead I have the Vibe of a TV guide. Because that’s the most important part. The nostalgia, without the downsides.

I build this list (With code not manually each time) by making a list of items, in this case it’s 4 shows and 1 movie. Monday to Thursday get assigned a show, and Saturday gets assigned a movie. For all the other days it picks one of the shows from the other days of the week and puts (Repeat) on the end of them.

Then, using the date and a magic number and a MOD operation I do a sneaky trick to get a psuedo-random number - picking the broadcast time on the day. This is unnecessary, as I don’t listen to it, but it’s important for the “aesthetic” of a TV guide.

Then, I have a random list of other shows/movies, which has another pseudo random number generated that changes over when the week changes. Several of these random shows get put before and after each of the actual shows to watch on the day. The spreadsheet has simple formulas to work from there, adding in the times of the items to make a schedule of shows I am Not going to watch because they aren’t the picked shows, but are there for set dressing. (I also remove the words Season X from them so it’s less messy looking)

Then, by overlaying a bar chart over the top of it with some shading which is built to leave an empty space where the currently selected show is, it makes for a display that makes me happy to look at.

This method accidentally solves one of the problems with “backlog spreadsheets” - that pressure to have to finish things when it’s on a queue. Instead now I have a manageable schedule, with only one episode a day (And not even every day - some days are “repeats”)?

Not only is it no longer a scary task list it helps with something else: Do your days feel the same? Every day the same? Well when I was young it used to be thursday that I would come home and watch Stargate, or some kind of sci-fi. That was Stargate day. And now, my spreadsheet will generate me a schedule of TV, for me to watch an episode a week, so today being Wednesday it is Thunderbird’s day (Which you can and should watch it is completely on youtube) - and now, in a small way, the days feel different to each other, and it’s easier to keep track of time.

Besides that, having a spreadsheet to track a backlog is a terrible idea and Should Not Be Done.

Imma be posting some of my poetry

Because I’m in a bit of a mood and want to review some of my older stuff and redistribute it to the masses, like the narcissist I am.

I’ll be labeling it under the tag ‘sad clown anthology’.

‘Our consciousness is under siege’: Michael Pollan on chatbots, social media and mental freedom

We’re all living with algorithms designed to seize our attention. Attention is consciousness. It’s a part of consciousness. It’s how we direct our consciousness where we want to – but we’re losing the want to piece. The algorithms are so good at hooking us and driving our attention, not where we want to take it, but where they want to take it, because they’re monetizing it. They’re selling our attention.

Currently playing:

Chrono Trigger (DS)

Final Fantasy X (Switch)

Dragon Quest VII (3DS)

I’m kind of determined to keep the streak of playing older JRPGs alive, even though re9 is tempting. I’m incredibly moody when it comes to playing video games. Maybe it’s an old person thing but life’s too short to play trash games.

Chrono Trigger, this might be my 3rd(?) time trying to get into it. Final Fantasy X I’ve played long ago and stopped at the 2nd Seymour boss battle, not sure why. For Dragon Quest VII I just wanted to find one that could introduce me to the series, and decided on this one. Debated on getting the remake because it just looks gorgeous and glad I didn’t since they decided to streamline a lot of the game.

Unrelated note. I’m tired of remakes.

some of my older comic style drawings

I don’t understand how I can do this with spotify, one week I’m perfectly caught up, then I somehow start slacking with new updates and it comes to a head that I just finished listening to a podcast episode that was uploaded on the 6th of February 2026! It’s the 21st of February 2026! How did I manage to get so behind so fast?! How come I always seem to do this right before a week in which all the podcasts that I am caught up with, seem to upload lmao

2025-03-11 Armored Encounter. Multiple armadillo photos referenced.

2025-03-06 Meme photo reference used.

2025-03-09 No specific reference used, but very much inspired by some of the work of my buddy Jonasgoonface.

2025-03-19 Set Ocean Waves 30°. Came to me in a dream. The vibe was pleasant, and in no way ominous. PLEASE no omens. The subject of my dream was explicitly a 737-800NG. Will add blue gouache later. (PS: No reference! This is how it looked in my dream and I am insane about airplanes so there.)

okay this one isn’t actually that old but I’m not really happy with it so I never posted it but whatever!

I am always thinking about cordyceps: too clever for their own good

The Checkpoint Episode 1- What Does Your Backlog Mean To You?

Hey everyone! I was recently on the start of a brand new podcast called The Checkpoint. The creator of the podcast has been a good friend of mine for many years. He has done podcasting in the past, as well as writing game reviews and the like. This is the YouTube version of the podcast with some gameplay in the background. It was pretty fun getting back on the mic and doing something creative…
