apparently "swords are stronger when they're forged by the light of the full moon" is an actual real thing that made swords more durable and this might be the chuuniest fact i have learned in 2020 so far
I should also point out that I regularly participate in multiworld games with these fine snoots, and that you can also watch my own antics over at twitch.tv/goldkindrake

unfiltered but probably okay
This is a phenomenal article from Oxford on every aspect of #Covid19 / #Coronavirus (hat tip to @WilliamCaryHall@twitter.com and @ramez@twitter.com): https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus
uspol, pragmatic, way more serious question, but not the most negative?
@Kyresti Folks have already said focus on local, and that's as correct as it's ever been.
That, and biding our time while the current fascist septuagenerian ruling class slowly dies off from old age, while focusing the fight against the younger generations of fascists.

synththoughts
imagining a synth that has floaty hardlight limbs as a workaround for weaknesses in her hardlight generators
basically they're really good at exerting force relative to themselves / her body (pushing up from the ground, pulling or pushing on things) but a bit sucky at dealing with... making hardlight surfaces and constantly dealing with stuff like interactions with air - it's possible but drains power quickly, the more surface and volume the quicker
so she just has really simple floatylimb holograms to use as little power as possible while indicating where her hardlight generators are currently "working" (so someone doesn't wander a limb into there and get shoved or something) and a simple pawprint shaped actual hard surface at the end.

@nautilee (Are boosts okay?)
@JulieSqveakaroo @chr Which I guess is another way of saying Team Ninja titles have always felt more about level memorization than any other form of feedback loop to me, and I steer clear of that type of game entirely. I do not want to be the guy, thanks.
@JulieSqveakaroo @chr The genre also prefers a tight feedback loop, low randomness, and enough information for the player to adapt, which Team Ninja is... not good at compared to other developers.
My touchstones for them are Ninja Gaiden and Other M, and I do not look back at them favorably.
Which I guess is why I've generally preferred newer iterations of Monster Hunter and action RPGs that are difficult without making it the games' entire identity.
@mawr I'm trying and failing to make a CSS reference about this, and instead find myself nodding approvingly.

If they're a crow, they're pretty big. Those are full scale cinder blocks to scale, and it appears to be about 1/3 meter tall when standing?

Corvid question: crow or raven?
We have a mixed population here, so it's hard to tell which is which, and I haven't heard this friend caw or grackle yet.

@salameleon@snouts.online @Veladynee (And don't even get me started on where morph ball ended up.)
@salameleon@snouts.online (I'll also be completing my own blind play of combo rando later this evening.
@Veladynee can vouch for just how insane the item placements have been so far, including required scamfish, lamp in its literal worst location for my seed so far, a soft lock hammer, and Varia in dark cross. Which I guess is one way of learning.)
@salameleon@snouts.online I vote spoiler log SMZ3. As in, read the spoiler log in advance and use that to route the seed.

It's interesting to rewatch this video from 2004 today and compare its predictions with reality: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt3TmUW90B8
(There's also an updated version from 2005 that took things further with local search.)

"Dot Com Boom" Corp Culture Theory [2/2]
@mawr And yes, quite a few VCs do try to use this whole game as their own personal tax shelter or money laundering vehicle on top of that.
"Dot Com Boom" Corp Culture Theory [2/2]
@mawr Reminder that interest payments on debt are also tax deductible. Those same business classes I had in college gave entire lectures about how to structure debt in a company to get the highest return, and the numbers were typically in the range of 50-75%.
One of the key formulas: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's Equity. Guess which parts typically gets jacked way up at the start of early VC funding.
