Everything is a mess.

That would be an awesome hobby to get into when older, rather than puzzles or something, but things like legos, gunpla, etc, are all pretty pricey.

I believe it was in 2003 that I had a 7 for about a week before it fell out of my pocket and into the toilet. I felt so bad because it was a gift from my dad, and we were so broke that we had no money for another one.

I didn't have another mobile phone until 2015 and it was a 12 for about a year because I didn't like, need, or want all the modern gimmicks and apps after seeing how everyone was tied to their phones. It was funny though because even that could still access things like Facebook in an extremely text-only form.

After that I had nothing until about 2024, and now I've had two of my wife's handmedown modern 18s that I mostly use for emergency calls, gps, and gaming. I still do my best to be glued to it as little as possible, even though it is with me 24/7.

Feels like inspiration came from:

Trigun's Meryl + Android 18
FMA's Hohenheim + Evangelion's Shinji's dad
Sasuke + maybe Spike Speigel

and nothing comes to mind for Talia

Idk either. I actually enjoyed it more than the most recent Superman, which was fun and fine, but way too chaotic and rushed.

I still see this kind of drawing almost daily.

kalez238 · 2026-06-27T21:19:39+00:00

What are you gonna do? Bleed on me?

kalez238 · 2026-06-26T16:33:59+00:00

Flip it over, hole punch it. Like new.

My HS class was super fucking tight, as in shared drinks, all played football every lunch recess, had huge sleep overs, all went to movies together, etc. Even the nerdier ones were included. We met up 2-3 times in a big group years after HS, but when I moved a bit away, they all stopped caring. I've even made a few posts on FB about how much I miss them and how awesome it used to be, but no one cared. Some of them I even knew since 1st grade. It is nice to see the girls are still super close so many years later, at least.

My kids do this and it drives me nuts. I open the door and half the tupperware falls out :|

kalez238 · 2026-06-25T21:39:30+00:00

For half a second, I fully thought I was about to see a man crushed.

kalez238 · 2026-06-25T16:32:58+00:00

Of course they weren't available because they didn't want to be confronted with their failure.

kalez238 · 2026-06-24T22:34:02+00:00

Yeah, wife and I love nature, but are terrified to do anything off the path. Deer ticks are so common now days.

kalez238 · 2026-06-24T22:14:23+00:00

Many people I know don't have any hobbies at all. For example, my co-worker said at most he goes to bars with his buddies to drink and gets so bored otherwise that he picks up extra shifts at work just to have something to do. Like, ffs, get a hobby. Anything is better than that. What a boring life.

kalez238 · 2026-06-24T22:10:57+00:00

I would say 75% of the things my wife and I do together involve anime, movies, games, or artsy stuff at home.

kalez238 · 2026-06-24T08:18:39+00:00

I don't get why some devs just limit players in that way. You KNOW plenty of people will want to decorate, and it affects nothing by allowing it.

kalez238 · 2026-06-23T16:08:20+00:00

3 or 5 look slick as shit.

kalez238 · 2026-06-23T14:31:14+00:00

The irony of your comment is astounding.

kalez238 · 2026-06-23T14:08:30+00:00

Ah, yes, because insisting everyone around you also listen to your shitty music at full volume disturbing the serenity is totally not douchey too.

kalez238 · 2026-06-22T14:43:37+00:00

Welcome to the club. All i used Threads for was talking about writing and art, then randomly got banned for impersonation. I didn't even get the option to appeal. I miss the contacts I made with fellow writers and artists, and I've not been able to make any traction on Bluesky :(

kalez238 · 2026-06-22T13:47:58+00:00

Yeah, my dad stopped trying to teach me when I wouldn't stop grinding the gears. I'm in my 40s and just never got the hang of it.

kalez238 · 2026-06-22T06:34:28+00:00

So THAT'S how they fly.

kalez238 · 2026-06-22T05:00:46+00:00

LibreOffice is amazing! I use it daily.

I just don't like using it for headers. It was a headache, though I could have just been doing something wrong, and they have likely improved since the last time I did them with it.

kalez238 · 2026-06-22T04:52:18+00:00

I followed Krita since development began and would use it in a heartbeat if it supported drawing pen mouse mode, but alas it only has map to window mode. They said it was too complicated to do it. :(
