    get Cricut design space studio to work over USB in a bottle, without having to run a whole damn windows virtual machine

    I’m not the only person using the machine, and the only other user wants to use a cricut, which requires design space studio

    I tried some things on reddit but people trying to figure this specific thing out is a recent development but it just happens to apply to me





  • I remember finding out WAY too late into Maplestory that you have to basically know how to distribute stats from the get-go, because there was no going back. when you hit level milestones the game expects you to have a near-perfect stat distribution to buy level-appropriate gear, and when the game is as grindy as oldschool Maplestory every level you had to spend past that milestone adjusting for the imperfect stats was a SLOG. I think the first 5 levels after every milestone my first character spent with the previous milestone’s equipment because i was just too stubborn to make a new character and start over


  • When I was something like 8-12 years old I was watching Toonami and Cartoon Network. At that time shows like Tenchi Muyo and YuYu Hakusho, despite being very different, took up the same headspace to little kid me. When I needed to come up with a username for the first time ever it was on a now-extinct Game Shark forum and it was as uninspiring as a kid would likely make, something like user123 or whatever.

    The second username I ever made, and I don’t remember what website it was originally for, I wanted to use the name of a character from one of the shows I was watching. I transcribed the name like how I thought it would be spelled. The character’s actual name would now be spelled kione from Tenchi Muyo. The character I thought I had come up with the name for, though, was someone with red hair, but whom I thought was a demon in the show. I’m not certain anymore, since this is over 15 years ago, but the character I was trying to name was either Kurama from YuYu Hakusho who is a demon, or Washu Hakubi from Tenchi Muyo who isn’t a demon because that’s not a thing in Tenchi Muyo, but I think I just conflated the characters into one. Doesn’t matter, since I got the name wrong either way.

    t;dr dumb little kid me conflated red-haired anime mad scientist with red-haired anime demon, and the name from a third anime character. I spelled “kione” as “kionay” phonetically. poorly. been using it ever since.








  • For a long time my voicemail was “Hello?” followed by about a 5 second pause, and then an actual “this is $name you’ve got my voicemail, leave a message thank you”

    People. fucking. hated that voicemail with a passion. my own parents would get got by it, and then after not calling me for a few months get got by it all over again

    I had recruiters suggest I change it because it was “unprofessional”, which I didn’t because if you can’t laugh at a prank like that I wouldn’t want to work for you I feel like there were more good-natured recruiters that found it funny, and I’d like to think it helped set the tone for the interaction better because of it

    it also worked well to filter out spam calls, my speech-to-text voicemail app would out the bots when the text of the recording started mid-sentence and didn’t stop the recorded spiel

    more people than not enjoyed the mild prank, and I loved it as a conversation started when calling someone back
