Nerd Purge 2024

Posted on November 10, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been a year.  But not all in a bad way! I was laid off at the end of September… but it was the kind of layoff where you get a huge severance package and where “getting back to work” … Continue reading →

Posted on October 30, 2024 by baudattitude

Sofa: So good.

Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

I played some more Fire Emblem

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

I think that title is read as “Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia” but I guess it’s possible that “Echoes” goes at the end.  If I had the box it might be more clear, but I bought it off the … Continue reading →

The Evil(?) is defeated

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude

OK, so.  This is really just a post I’m putting up so I can find it later when I’ve forgotten how to do something.  But sometimes these might be useful to people who aren’t me!  I hope, anyway. Today’s post … Continue reading →

Now, for something completely cozy.

Posted on August 8, 2024 by baudattitude
