@troodon It’s still one of the simplest and best supported block building game for adults, despite several clones, its acquisition by Microsoft, and its creator being a jerk. Sort of like how Garry’s Mod is still around because it remained useful.

Which I guess helps? Since it’s on everything now, it’s good to mess around with and branch off later if needed, using Google and Steam searches into more specialized or newer things (eg, Factorio, Zachtronics, 3D art tools, etc).

@leafnoodle (I’m assuming this was discovered from Tiki’s assist trophy in the new Smash, but in case not, this is _literally_ the animation they gave her.)

The most satisfying thing about 3D printing: breaking off all of the scaffolding like it’s a freshly-bought model from a hobby shop.

@Dex They seem to be buried further in. I found Richter along a later portion of the map.

I’ve been running Link for the entire campaign so far with Move Speed Up/Made of Metal and a skill build into double final smash, and I’ve only needed to swap him out for a few mechanics like Strong Wind. There’s an advanced spirit that also gives 50% damage or stamina recovery when low, and that all breaks the game pretty hard.

Thankfully, harder boss fights cheat more.

@zetasyanthis Two cutes! 💜

@JulieSqveakaroo *hugs gently*

@troodon As I understand it from folks I followed over there, Tumblr’s community replicated the fora- and USENET-era community issues we older folks remember from earlier otherkin communities. Some of that is because it’s a younger community, some of it is because of specific circles of people, and there are quite a few good folks coming in too that could use a healthier community.

I think it’ll help if instance admins help us sift trolls out, too, and I encourage them to do so.

@Zedex@snouts.online Yep! It takes some getting used to vs birdsite, but given it works just like an email address, it quickly becomes second nature.

@Zedex@snouts.online (Following them _or_ including the host string to chat with them, pardon.)

@Zedex@snouts.online But yeah, you should be able to talk to folks on other instances by following them from yours, and including the host of their instance in the string. Like I am “@ Goldkin @ awoo.space”, and I see you on my end as “@ Zedex @ snouts.online”, without the spaces.

@Zedex@snouts.online This also means in the case of direct messages across instances, you’re sending the data to another server, so be aware of that if you use them.

I guess it’s a similar arrangement to USENET, if you ever had the chance to use that way, way, way back in the day.

@Zedex@snouts.online Instances are “federated”, meaning each site communicates with other sites in the network that it trusts. In the case of Snouts (from what I’ve read; I’m over on Awoo), many of the furry-adjacent instances are already trusted.

When you follow someone on another instance, you basically get a copy of what they’re posting from there. And when you reply, the same thing works in the other direction.

Explaining this to future generations is going to be weird:

Despite the weh I've been placing here while I figure stuff out, I've been making 3D art again and playing lots of the dwarf game (https://store.steampowered.com/app/548430/Deep_Rock_Galactic/) lately. The latter has been really good for me, since it's basically a huge 3D puzzle to play around with. Wheee!

I should possibly talk about things like that more here? I'm kind of prone to nerding about 3D modeling and puzzle games when the sky isn't falling, and I kind of miss doing that.

@frameacloud Definitely Professor Layton and Picross/Picross 3D.
