Because Normal Is Overrated

  • I really hope Tumblr figures out Fediverse integration. It is one of the reasons I decided to start blogging on Tumblr. I would love for people to be able to follow my blog on Mastodon.

  • Beeper Mini – iMessage on Android

    This has to be the most fascinating thing I have seen. Beeper has managed to create an app that allows people on Android to use iMessage. I guess having the correct color bubbles when messaging people on an iPhone is a big deal? Beyond the colors, at least it would allow for quality images and capability between Android and iPhone users.

    The most interesting part of this app is it uses actual iMessage technology to work because someone managed to reverse engineer how iMessage works. That’s nuts.

  • Finally got a chance to see Five Nights at Freddy’s. Movie started off slow, but it got pretty good by the end. Really enjoyed it, and I have to say I hope they make a sequel. The animatronics looked amazing.

  • WoW: Dragonflight Will Soon Let Players Run Dungeons With NPC Companions

    I’ve been playing World of Warcraft (WOW) for a long time. I had a good friend introduce me to the game back at the end of 2005, and I’ve been playing it off and on ever since. I really enjoy the game, the lore, and the ability to play with friends and family.

    However, there is one aspect of the game that I have not enjoyed very much: dungeons and raids. I am not the best player out there, and I struggle with all the abilities of my character in the game. I have all these years, but it hasn’t been as big of a struggle when I first started playing because I had friends and then family to run with. We did dungeons together and raids together, and I always had people to help me along the way, but I still had moments where mistakes were made and I caused issues for others that queued up with us. It always made me feel anxious because I don’t want to ruin another player’s game experience.

    Over the years, less and less of my friends play the game and most of my family members no longer play leaving me to my own devices in the game now, which has caused me some issues in learning new dungeons with other players. I’ve been yelled at and kicked out of a good number of dungeons because I was struggling. My anxiety has increased because of this, and I find that I avoid dungeons and raids altogether now.

    So, imagine my excitement when I read today that they are doing something new in the next expansion called Follower Dungeons where I can run with AI players and run a dungeon at my own pace. I’m super excited for this because it means I can actually enjoy giving a dungeon I haven’t tired a go by myself with the AI and learn it before I run it with other players. This will allow me to build up my confidence in running a dungeon. I’m so happy to give this a try when it drops.

  • How to use the secret software installer on your Windows PC

    If you are a Windows user, I recommend you learn about Winget, and it looks like there is an even easier way to use it now with WingetUI. I highly recommend learning how to use it because it really changes how you install and update programs for your Windows PC.

  • My Tumblr Domain is Working Fully!

    If you’ve been following my comments about my experience moving my domain name from Google Domains to Tumblr Domains, you will recall that I’ve had some hiccups along the way. I am happy to report that everything is working fully now, and I couldn’t be happier.

    I hope Tumblr Support sees this. I would like to thank them for working with me on getting things worked out. Everyone was professional, friendly, and got responses back to me in a timely manner. Even when they told me it would be a few days to work out an issue, they had it resolved in only a day. Hopefully, I am done bothering them, and I can just enjoy my blogging.

    I really hope that finding some of the stuff I did in setting my stuff up will help make the experience smoother for others that wish to get a domain name through Tumblr. I think it is a great way to run a Tumblr site, which is why I chose to go that route.

  • Just watched the new trailer for Marvel Studios’ Echo, and I’m very interested in this one. I’ve read the Daredevil and Echo comics, and really enjoy the character. I love Vincent D’Onofrio’s portrayal of Kingpin, so I’m happy to see him back in that role.

  • Apple to Adopt RCS Messaging Standard for Better Interoperability With Android Devices

    This is good news. I’m happy to see Apple willing to add RCS messaging capability to their phones next year.

  • I’m happy to say that after a few hiccups with the Tumblr Domains thing, Tumblr Support has been very helpful in getting me up and running with transferring my domain over. They were even able to get the verification thing worked out, so my domain won’t be blocked for not verifying.

    My next step is working on getting my email provider to connect to the domain since Tumblr doesn’t do email with the domain stuff. Just FYI for anyone interested in having a Tumblr Domain where you want to use email. I’m planning on using Protonmail’s custom domain option to handle email for my domain. However, I can’t seem to enter the DNS records I need to make it work at the moment. Once I have a fourth DNS record setup, I can’t add anymore. Anyone else seeing this that also have a domain hosted by Tumblr??

    I’ve reached out to Tumblr Support again for help. We shall see how this goes. I’m optimistic there is still just a few weird things happening on their end with this new feature.

  • Since I finished the World of Trucks Hauloween event, I decided to hop over to Euro Truck Simulator and start working on the events focusing on the West Balkans DLC as well as the Road to the Black Sea DLC. Just made my first delivery. Drove from Bratislava, Slovakia to Novi Sad, Serbia.
