sam being flustered about calling ben the cutest jet lag player

[jetlagsblr]

I honestly don’t get why the off season episodes of the layover aren’t as popular, I’ve been re-listening to some of them and they’re so comforting to me, it feels like I’m hanging out with the guys

[jet-lag-the-game-in-my-brain]

call me by your name mentioned on the layover podcast but at what cost

[silly-goofy-vibes]

sam comparing the next season to call me by your name is batshit insane

[cyanove]

The boys suckered me into getting Nebula and now I’m binging the Layover pod. It’s so good. I’m pleased. The way they’re addressing everything that I yelled at the screen while watching the seasons is wonderful.

I won’t spoil but if you have disposable income this jet lag off season - feel free to engage in some Layover pod enjoyment. (I’d love to discuss!!)

Hello Jet Lag fans of Tumblr.

Ok so I have no idea if the video will play on Tumblr or if you'll have to go to Twitter to see it, but if you've never heard of it DO GO SEE IT. There's no spoilers in there (except for the identity of the season 6 - Capture the Flag in Japan - guest).

Honestly even if you don't know what Jet Lag is you might get a kick out of this video.

For context, someone animated an extract of the Layover podcast, and it's the greatest thing ever. Seriously, you will laugh to tears.

Last Monday of the Week 2024-03-25

Can't tell if this is allergies or if I'm sick because spring is in the air

Listening: I have been listening to The Layover podcast, the behind the scenes podcast for Jet Lag The Game. I only got into Jet Lag pretty recently because I had Nebula anyway and saw it come up. Great show, both because the premise is great (carefully designed games incorporating travel on the scale of countries) and because they can actually edit this incredibly difficult pile of footage into something readable.

The Behind The Scenes is an interesting mix of talk about the on-the-ground situation of playing the game and the filmmaking that goes on after the fact, there's some cool insight into how and why they edit the way they do and it shows why it works so well.

I think you have to have Nebula to listen to the podcast? It does just spit out an RSS feed if you ask nicely though. Thank you podcasts.

Watching: Actually watched The Gay And Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, the video series that launched like two dozen reaction images.

It's funny, it's a well put together indie comedy series. You've probably seen most of the really standout bits already even if you don't know it already but it is worth watching as a time capsule of web comedy, it's less than two hours long all told.

Reading: Started Glory In The Thunder by 0xabad1dea. I don't know what her real name is. I've had GITT in my ebooks library forever, 0xabad1dea is the main reason I got on twitter back in like 2016 (her and a couple other software blogs) and is why my Fediverse feed is still like a quarter security researchers by weight. She's probably one of the most well known static analysis researchers in the world.

Anyway Glory In The Thunder is a gaslamp-ish fantasy, although leaning very fantasy on the gaslamps. Very teenage characters which is whiplash but only because it's been a moment. Lots of very loud characters who announce themselves and their intentions, some fun seven dimensional politics going on, and a lot of jumping back and forth in the histories of the various gods who are constantly hanging around in the plot.

I think @shieldfoss has bugged me to read this before so you'll be glad to know that I am now.

I like this, I'm about halfway through. It's easy to keep track of despite having enough fantasy names to choke a horse, although I should really stop worrying about that, I've read the Shadowdance series you really have to try to beat that one. It's also a free book, you can get it at @gloryinthethunder.

Playing: Got a VR headset. Fidgeting with said headset. Figured out how to do wireless linked VR from Linux and Windows which is good, I should have all the kinks worked out, I'll have to see how I square the onboard capabilities of the Quest 2 with having a PC and fast WiFi.

Making: Finally run through enough smaller prints on the new hotend to feel confident running off the final endcap, so that's done. The parts of the 3D printed NAS case are complete, and I have started my first pass sanding which is going to take a while because PETG is very slippery. Once that's sanded I'll take it in to the shared workshop and run through some primer layers and some paint.

Tools and Equipment: Flat network cable is a godsend if you're running it in open air in a house. Absolutely useless for pulling through walls or running in conduit, and completely bereft of shielding, but having a flat cord that can press up against frames and sideboards really does make it all neater. I ran flat cat6 for all of this.

about to do the thing where i ambitiously download hundreds of books to my kindle + dozens of movies to my laptop, fantasizing wildly about somehow being able to consume 100hrs of media over the course of a 9hr +1hr flight (+3hr layover)

only to spend the entire flight feeling high out of my mind from airsickness & passing in and out of consciousness while listening to some Dudes Talking A Lot podcast
