"demoscene" looks like an ancient greek person's name

Demoscenes, the great programmer-philosopher

it's so weird to me that one of the biggest names in early home computers, Tandy, was a _leatherworking_ company before they got into doing computers

Meta, CW ask, climate, neg 

While we're on the subject of CW asks, can people please be CWing any sort of climate change, resource scarcity, extinction, and miscellaneous we're-all-gonna-die posting?

I cannot properly express how debilitating I find those posts. I've lost whole days to anxiety attacks about this stuff, and they are the primary cause of my block and mute lists.

"CW: Climate".

That's all you gotta type. Please.

Alpacas are basically just giraffe sheep.

Please boost.
Please share.
We're almost halfway there.

Otherwise,
we have to choose
between repairs and survival essentials.

ffix spoilers 

Eternally frustrated that Beatrix, a vastly more interesting character, doesn't become a permanent party member and is only in your party for like two fights

I guess they thought that two knights would be too much, and didn't want to drop Steiner, which, okay, yeah, Steiner is one of the better characters, but surely they could have made Beatrix more of a spellblade or paladin archetype (she even has paladin-like healing magic)

It's not like they don't already have two combo white-mage/summoners with dagger and eiko, anyway

I guess ffix's enigmetic character is Amarant, but no one ever remembers Amarant. He's not really a particularly well-written or fleshed out character.

some final fantasy games have enigmatic characters who join the party for their own poorly-explained or unexplained reasons. Like Gogo or Vincent.

Final Fantasy IX, on the other hand, has Quina. Quina wants to eat new things. Quina does not want anything other than to eat new things. And frogs. Quina's motivations are not at all hidden or absent. They're just _weird_. Much like Quina themself.

every video game system has their buttons in the same arrangement but called by different names... and every one has an X button in a different location (sony: bottom, nintendo: top, microsoft: left)

today we learned: british coins (at least some of them) are apparently ferrous and will stick to magnets

@synthbold so now I'm curious, is the number 192807 of some personal significance or is it just a random number?

I posted about that earlier but it also felt like I didn't? I dunno. I'm feeling a little more energetic about it than earlier anyway
