oh god Songtradr’s takeover of #Bandcamp has ended up being way worse than anyone expected much more quickly. tl;dr: Songtradr isn’t honoring the union, has locked out employees from critical systems, and is basically trying to steamroll everyone in the handoff.

At the very least this means this #bandcampfriday might not be so great, and most likely everything about bandcamp is going to shit very rapidly.

@mcc unless you hit it accidentally

very important, that feature!

Random wondering of the day: Does anyone use "centigram"? I always see either gram or milligram.

Actually centi and hecto seem to get skipped a lot in general. I've only ever seen the later in "hectares" which...doesn't actually use it, just looks like it does

@Phorm @krinndnz If it goes *correctly* it's fine. High dose opiate puts you to sleep, breathing stops, that is that.

Dunno why it burned going down, but my suspicion given the "referred for alcohol abuse" comment is they mixed it with high proof booze.

@scalzi @charleshbryan Translations would drive me mad as an author. It must take so much trust, given that for more of those you probably can't check their work yourself

Brain apparently decided today was Crossover Day, as the last dream of the night featured dragging a corpus-infected Joker into the Underdark which looked more like Hell from Good Omens but better lit

@DotRook wut the fork?

@Phorm A trash can genie would be...quite the thing

Congratulations to everyone who read this vintage-1976 _Peanuts_ at just the right moment to gain a desire they couldn't begin to understand for years.

@Gankra eurogamer.net/gabe-newell-righ

Basically the concern from a lot of devs is MS wanted a thing like the app store, where they take a huge cut and lock out other methods of distrubution

@Gankra No, that's about right unless you count things like Steam.

Partially because well trusting the MS Store seemed like a not great idea

Scene: the Warhammer 40k universe. An inquisitor. A very, very angry inquisitor.

Because the Culture found this universe and assigned him a slap-drone. So every ten seconds or so a loud noise plays that drowns out whatever he has to say and there's dozens of half-melted pistols around from his attempts to shoot the thing.

"EMPEROR PROTECT"

"No, that's my job. Would you like some tea?"

Tonight in stupid dog things:

-ambulance goes by
-coyotes start howling at the siren
-dog initially starts howling back then goes wait NO THOSE GUYS SUCK and barks demanding to be let outside
