sharpen the edges, and it’s a home defense weapon

Mind linking it? I never received any sort of contact; I presume they’re v busy!

oh man probably me too. either that or Evanescence.

i was a angsty lil’ dickhead omg

Hi. You don’t know me, but programmer salary means I can foot $270 to help out our beloved admin — you’ve seemed stressed recently.

DM me on masto or discord (same name everywhere) to figure out how to exchange? 💜

When I was a kid, I was such a nerd, that I invented my own decimal timekeeping system.

Even wrote a little macOS menubar clock for it — I was dead-serious.

Edit: omg the website still works, even though I never put any real content there …

“Pretty fly, for a wi-fi.”

I guess I haven’t seen that many, but there aren’t any comments yet, so I win by default!

It wasn’t English class before you got here — but, unfortunately, it turned out you missed the other English classes! No big deal, though, we’re happy to pivot.

So, let’s talk about the subjunctive …

Yeah; it feels a little naive to think “bad associations with the word” come from past-tense propaganda instead of current-tense propaganda.

Like, nobody cares if you say “mother-fucker” anymore; and that was unthinkable, what, two decades ago? Less?

Without active, current, pervasive propaganda about the ‘bad intentions’ of the left, the word ‘communist’ would also lose stigma in the U.S. within a similar timeframe.

(I’m open to being told I’m wrong about this …)

This is terrible news to me, as an OCaml’eer.

There goes all my potential cool project domains … 😭

This is so frickin’ relatable.

I recently moved cross-country, leaving my beloved partners behind; and while I’m so much happier in my new location … I’m struggling to make new friends? Feels like a “30s problem,” because I used to have a vibrant, online scene of rich friendships … but now it’s just me, my dog, work, and a bunch of single-player videogames. )=

I spend most of my weeks looking forward to the next trip to/from my partners, and live as a completely antisocial shut-in, the rest of the time … which sucks, because I used to think of myself as something of a social butterfly! 😮‍💨

anyway idk hit me up if you wanna play multiplayer, complicated video games — factorio/satisfactory, complex systemic RPGs, literally anything that 1. takes more than a week or two to play and 2. isn’t single player? 🫠

I haven’t actually played it yet, but HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed has been in my Steam library for ages. That looks like it may scratch your itch …

I really miss some “toy soliders” 3D shoot-em-up that I can just baaaaaaarely remember from the 1990s … does anybody remember the game I’m thinking about? (There was definitely a series, I distinctly recall the name ending in “2” …)

I absolutely adored Invisible, Inc (by Klei — yes, of Don’t Starve & Oxygen Not Included fame — what a diverse bunch!)

It seems a little different from your usual vibe (it’s not an first/third-person shooter-y thingie; iirc it’s isometric and pixel-art?); but it’s easily the best stealth game I’ve ever played. :D

There’s no reason to be so critical of OP for this … if anything, it’s impressive, or at least cute. Why you gotta be bringing Reddit negativity over here? )=

I’ve been turned on to Notion by work, and now use it for my lil’ polycule as well — but I do want something … better.

Unfortunately both logseq and Obsidian have way, way too much of a “text” focus for me, even with plugins; and way too little of a “data” focus — the real potential strength of Notionalikes is definitely in deep database features and integration; not ‘this is only useful if you type at a full keyboard for hours.’ At least to me. 🤣

I’m pretty excited about http://anytype.io; but it’s in perpetual development/beta — still kinda barebones. It’s definitely got the correct focus, though? Chunks of data, not “articles” or “pages!”

Ace and aro are not the same thing — lol in this context they are in fact opposites, because this aro OP is looking for hookups. :P

omg i’m so jealous of your Satisfactory group

GIVE

Y’all have friends who will play multiplayer games with you?

… or who will deign to sit on Discord? 🥲

This is generally a massive problem with the fediverse in general — even Mastodon, although you can transfer your identity (i.e. if you link your old account, your ‘followers’ will follow you, and people searching for your old address will find you at your new one …) there’s still no way to transfer your content.

I’ve always got the vibe that the fediverse is heavily skewed towards privacy/temporary/“no permanent presence” folks, so it’s very low on the priority list to ‘fix’ that … but for a hoarder, digital archivist, quantified-self need like myself, it’s horrendous and scary.

I wish you’d recommended that commenters keep to “one extension per top-level comment,” making it easier to upvote the best ones 😅

Anyway, my “one pick” is definitely Tridactyl — a thorough, absurdly powerful poweruser-mode for FireFox based in Vi-like modal interaction.

The ~700 mods in my current playthrough (and ~700 more inactive) strongly upvote this post.

One of the best goddamn games of all time, only made continuously better by folks like Owlchemist, Oskar and the Vanilla Expanded team, jptrrs … so much amazing work went into that community.
