Uploading this here so I always know where to find it. #thankslori

This is a pretty small instance that I set up for friends, but for me is mostly a gateway to keep in touch with friends elsewhere on the fedi, as well as to meet new folks.

Registration is generally open unless there's some bot fuckery going on.

There isn't really a "theme" here but I'm happy to welcome anyone who is good-natured. I sort of want this to be the next evolution of that message board where you used to just go to hang out.

Hey peeps, I'm Stu and I run straylight.expectnomore.net. It's a small instance where I constantly try to cajole old internet friends into joining, but it's also open to anyone looking for a home online.

I post mostly about my pets, music, game development, and home improvement. And also usually links to weird shit.

Two cats.

Regular reminder: Guillotines still work.

Yo The Dear Hunter is amazing to listen to on a chilly, nearly-Autumn day.

I went to a great new psychiatrist today, who altered my meds and suggested also working to do social stuff, which was fine, but like, augh... how do social do work?

My goodness it is hard to meet people as an adult.

I would be remiss to not mention that I also recall listening to Kraftwerk and Rammstein, both of which are good in their own ways, but certainly do not involve traditionally "pretty" vocals.

This feels dumb as hell to admit, but I don't think I've ever heard German sang in a way that wasn't:
1) some classical/national thing, mostly from Nazi movies
2) a super cheesy pop song from the 80s

So when I heard this on Spotify I was really pleasantly surprised at how pretty it was:

Pretty excited that, thus far, Death Stranding isn't displaying rampant T&A. The sexism in MGS games is one of the harder things to swallow about them as an adult.

The Indian....... the Indian food....... too much........ I ate too much....... *dies*
