@kelseyhusky . . . oh my.

Ah, the three genders: pancake, waffle, French toast.

@xinjinmeng Because we've been in a cultural atmosphere of considering sorrow and tears to be signs of weakness, and unlearning that is super difficult and even more so when the constant emotional assault is ratcheting up every day?

Well, that's one reason. At any rate, I totally sympathize.

@Soreth Also:

4: Make changelogs easy to get to from the updater. (And not just "Bug fixes and performance improvements" – all that means is they added more trackers or ad sources.)

@Soreth I know, right? At the very least, wait until there's no user activity for a few seconds so they don't go typing into the void... or worse, frobbing random things with keyboard shortcuts.

I'm so glad that nearly everything I use these days has multiple levels of undo.

I really wish the Creative Cloud updater updater (yes really) wouldn't constantly steal focus from the other thing I'm doing while it updates. Very rude.

@xinjinmeng Ooh!

Three bits for luminance, four bits for color phase (hue), two bits for chroma amplitude multiplier (saturation)?

SNES-style wavetable sound for moodier, subtler textures than FM synth? Or that PC adventure game AdLib sound?

I know, the weirdest damn points to nerd about....

@Leucrotta I know their rates are negotiable and they're doing phone (not so much video) calls. Dunno about availability, but I can inquire....

@RobinHood As a somewhat experienced stoner disappointed with strain names at large, may I suggest some more?

My therapist has directly recommended that I continue to be a unicorn.

Yup, popped in a rando with my in-progress @millimax@high.cat sprite, got to playing with @orrery helping on the tracker, and they suggested I could try flipperless a couple times. It's an 8-frame trick...

...and I got it on the first try.

@hystericempress That's almost certainly why I remember trying to play the game and losing interest not long after getting to be a doggy for a while.

Keet: "Oops. All ash!"

@orrery: "I loaded the last two bowls, this one's yours."

K: pulls bowl, moves toward weed replenishment station

O: "Oh, and there's not enough for a full bowl, so you'll have to grind fresh."

K: "Did... did you just beat me at Nim? Did you just kick my ass at a game of Weed-Nim?"

O: splays peacock fan "am bird now"

@pendragon I bought a "phone" – more like a palmtop – purely because it had a physical keyboard. It wasn't really an ideal device for me, but that's how badly I wanted a keyboard with actual physical contact. Not haptic feedback, but enough key-feel (click or depth of travel) and distance between keys that I can tell how far off each keystroke was from center and continually "auto-calibrate". Otherwise I drift like it's fuggin' Mario Kart and spray typos into everything or I have to watch the keyboard constantly and it's slow going.
