  After my burger kerfuffle we stayed at the Boundary taproom playing more pinball, because there’s no such thing as too much pinball 😂 I got to grind some Pokémon and Ari almost played Godzilla until the end, as Charlotte has never seen the final wizard mode. But the bar was closing, so Ari had to let his final extra ball go so the bar staff could go home 😅 he did get second high score so that’s something at least. We then took an Uber back to the hotel, as time had just flown by again!

  We came back 😁 We were gifted signature cans of unusual beer. Not bad, but too beer-y for my taste. But it did give me a nice little buzz 😆 We played some pins but it’s clear we don’t have our game faces on, so video games are calling to me more. I played some Pokemon Stadium minigames and 100%’d Mumbo’s Mountain in Banjo-Kazooie, because of course! Mumbo’s Mountain always reminds me of the first time I saw this game. It was on a tv-show about video games, probably Game Over, where a puppet host...

  We got to tick Pókemon pinball machine off our list. Originally we felt the playfield looked a bit simple and not very fun. But after a couple of games it grew on us. Like I could see it becoming part of our own arcade one day. We got some loot from Base Arcade, shirts and beanies, mine is purple, Ari’s is black. We also got a huuuge bunch of stickers and an enamel pin each 🤩 mine will definitely find its place on my backpack! Today’s been such a fun day! Great food, pinball and video games, d...

  Yay! I had green lentils, as well as crushed tomatoes, pomodoro rosso and a bunch of beans. So I made my own version of French lentil soup. And oh my goodness, it's so good! I put some vegan ranch mayo on it, since I don't have any vegan aioli. The doctor adviced me to add lentils to my diet, so now I have the perfect excuse to make this soup at home all the time! It's quick and easy, especially warming this time of the year. #food

  Jostain syystä tänä aamuna mietin, että joskus ~10 vuotta sitten oli vielä aika, jolloin sovellukset teki asioista saavutettavampia. Ja jos jollain palvelulla ei ollu taskussa mukana kulkevaa äppiä niin se oli jotenkin huono juttu. Nyt se on kääntynyt just päinvastoin. Palveluilla alkaa olla semmonen että ei ole enää selkeää ja toimivaa nettisivua, vaan joku kämänen ja kyseenalainen sovellus. Tai ne on vaan Facebookissa.

  Pics, and thoughts, from today, 1/3 I'm still enjoying the more leisurely trips to work, even though I do have to be on campus half an hour earlier. But it's better than forcing myself into the next bus which is filled to the brim and 15 minutes late for my shift. This morning was fairly nice weather-wise, even though it had clearly been raining at some point during the night. So I took a shot of the pretty sky, and the pedestrian road near our house. Just yesterday morning I was looki...

  If I really have to look for something positive about this possible flu that’s trying to come on, it’s that I didn’t feel like doing much this evening so I put on some Vivaldi and read about 50 pages of the Pratchett book I’m still working on. I had to stop because my head’s now telling me that I might fall asleep soon. But I am determined to keep my reading up. And now having added some classical music and a couple of cups of tea to the mix, it was even more enjoyable.

  A lady came in for coffee at my workplace yesterday, and for the second time complained that our coffee ”tastes like it’s been sitting there for hours, burned” and recommended we wash our pots. I had a coffee from that same pot later that afternoon, and to me it tasted like always, nicely strongly brewed. So my conclusion is that that lady drinks ridiculously weak coffee in general. Because years ago we got complaints for our coffee being so weak, so I started brewing it like I brew it at home...

  🤣 pari ukrainalaista opiskelijaa ovat alkaneet kutsua lounaaseen oikeuttavaa lipuketta multipassiksi. Ja se naurattaa nyt joka kerta. Sitä en osaa sanoa että ovatko nähneet Fifth Elementin 😅

  I decided this evening is movie night. I’ll be watching three movies off my watch list. I’m starting with The Naked Gun. I’m not even 10 minutes in and I’m already laughing so hard I’m crying!

  I saw some photos a fellow pinball enthusiast had taken of people playing competitive pinball. I figured I’d look over some of the pictures he’d taken over the summer, and while they are well taken photos, the thing that sticks out to me the most is that no one in the photos look like they’re having fun. Sullen, serious looks of concentration like that specific match is a matter of life and death. People wearing noise cancelling headphones. That’s not what pinball as a hobby is to me. Pinball sh...

  Kouvola Pride pyysi palautetta. Annoin palautetta. Positiivista. Toiveita ensi vuodelle, koska aina voi olla värikkäämpää, isompaa, äänekkäämpää. Ehkä vähän petailen ajatusta yhteistyökumppanuudesta. Ennen kaikkea mun mielestä Priden pitäisi paitsi pitää meteliä meistä itsestämme, myös luoda yhteisöllisyyttä.

  Ehdittiin piipahtaa tämän päiväisen Kouvola Priden puistojuhlan viimeisellä tunnilla katselemassa menoa ja viemässä vähän jotain hauskoja juttuja muidenkin saataville. Juhlaa oli juontamassa drag-artisti Twiggy Mallet ja vuoden 2019 Miss Gay Finland Lotta Jäppinen. Olin muuten sinä vuonna itse vapaaehtoisena mukana Pridessa backstagella. Kohta lähtee bussi ja me lähdetään vielä iltabileisiin House of Rockiin, jossa on luvassa hauskaa 😊 ja tietenkin päälle pitää laittaa asiaankuuluva vaate!

  @apzpins@some.apz.fi @valoisa@eliitin-some.fi Eikä siihen tissikuvien katseluun siihen aikaan edes tarvinnut tietokonetta, jos tykkäsi tutkia vanhempien yöpöydän laatikoita ja sieltä sattui löytymään Jallu tai Kalle. Tai jos kaupassa sattui onnistumaan nappaamaan lehden lehtihyllystä ja löysi jonkun kivan paikan missä niitä voi tutkailla rauhassa. Koska muistan ajan, milloin ne ei ollu siellä ylimmällä hyllyllä joka kaupassa tai kioskissa.

  Kouvolan Sanomien toimittaja teki jutun Metan laseista. Oli saanut semmoiset testiin muutamaksi päiväksi. Juttu on maksumuurin takana, mutta jos omaa Keskisuomalaisen tunnarit, niin jutun pitäisi päästä lukemaan. Pähkinänkuoressa pääpointit: Luuriin asennetaan Metan sovellus, jolle annetaan lupa vaikka ja mihin, ja joka vannottaa että missä lasien ominaisuuksia ei saa käyttää (mainitaan lääkärikäynnit ja julkinen wc). Se myös takaa, että laseilla voi tehdä asioita mitä teet älyluurilla, kuten...

  Confession: I love FNAF games. But I also have never ever finished one myself. I got the Pizzeria Simulator and Sister Location a couple of years ago, but I never managed to finish either game, despite having watched others play them several times. It's the lore. That is what pulls me in. But also the scary aspect of the games. And as someone who loves horror, one thing that sometimes kills it for me is the fact that the spaces are dark, the scary things pop up, usually filled with light, a...

  Tällä viikolla kaikkiin pelihallin postauksiin ujutan tavalla tai toisella jotain 🏳️‍🌈-aiheista 😁 Koska tänään alkoi meidän Pride-viikko ja lauantaina vietetään kulkuetta ja puistojuhlaa 🥰

  #cats from my past, a thread. I was looking for an entirely unrelated video from my partner's youtube account, when I found a bunch of cat videos from years and years ago. I started going through my own collection and I'm so glad I did manage to save some videos from almost 20 years ago. Let's start with Figaro. He was my sister's 8th birthday present from our parents, in 1998. This video of him was taken in 2009, so he was 11 years old. Back then it felt like he was really ol...

  #Fable #VideoGames I progressed the tutorial level to the end and this time really concentrated on it. So I think I now have the fighting bits down a bit better than last time. I am also trying to make my muscle memory remember the menu buttons. And of course there's a page for these important things 😂

  #ruoka #vegaaninen Taas on tullut kokeiltua vähän vaikka ja mitä. Aiemmin tööttäsin (englanniksi) soijarouheesta, josta tein makaronimössöä. Laatikon tekeminen on vielä testaamatta virallisesti, senkin aika koittaa jossain vaiheessa. Ja tofusta olen myös tehnyt kaikenlaista. Muksuna yksi ruokalaji, joka oli vähän niin ja näin, oli kalapuikot. Niitä piti syödä, koska äiti osti niitä pakettitolkulla, koska ne oli halpoja ja niillä syötti nelilapsisen perheen (samasta syystä teki perunamuusia ni...

  We're going to celebrate my 40th birthday a month from the actual day. Mostly, because I have to go back to work just the day before, so our usual plan to leave the country doesn't really work on that time. So in September we're going to Belfast for an extended weekend. Part of the reason is to go and visit Base Arcade and play some pinball. I looked up some things to do and see, and sure there's lots, but most require tickets to be booked in advance. I will say Sensorium looked...

  #cycling I realised I hadn't gone out on my bike in too long, so today was the day. Like I got a real hankering to go for a ride. Maybe partly due to the muscle pain I woke up to yesterday that's actually better now, after the ride. This afternoon, after my partner left for work, I hopped on my red and grey Raleigh and rode to town for a quick grocery run. I did also go looking for a laser toy for our cat, because the old one leaked its batteries. I found a fun pen laser from the pet st...

  #food Time to make some grub out of the tofu I soaked in soy sauce and garlic for… a week? 😅 I chopped some red onions and am frying them in some oil, while I have dark rice and vegetables boiling. The smell already is divine!

  I had a cool dream during the second half of my latest sleep. I was part of this cool, dapper gang, made up if all kinds of people. I was especially taken with the person who supposedly was the sort of leader of the group. They were a tall, slender person with long, wavy hair, dressed in a white suit, carrying a cool cane. As the dream progressed, each person in the group revealed themselves to be a vampire. Myself included. And we were actually bringing unsuspecting humans to meet their end. It...
