World needs more pooltoys.
Pooltoys are friends.
@anthracite Also, I assume this is in internal notifications, but just to confirm: they're not talking about _device_ notifications, right?
Mentioning it because Masto has been bad about registering itself with background notification services (ie, those for iOS). Probably not your issue, but worth noting just in case.

Our local corvids have declared a truce with our local woodland mammals, and they have found acceptable terms over how to split the birdseed.
@salameleon@snouts.online Congrats!

Artists! This is your occasional reminder that unless you opt out, Wacom sends a log of every single time you change apps to Google Analytics. Open up the Wacom app and opt out of the “Wacom Experience Program”.

gacha games, dragalia lost
Also, the game's dragons and beasties are adorable, and I want to hug most of them.

The biggest one is the game will happily play itself, looping the same quest as many times as I'd like. And since quests and daily rewards give vastly too much free currency, and the payouts for the Monster Hunter event are enormous, it's infinite for as long as I'm willing to leave my phone on its charger.
Which is... not what I expected, really!

Some friends convinced me to pick this up because dragons and because Monster Hunter event, and I am... confused by its business model.
Typically, gacha games are either pay-to-win or have a window where they give you lots of free currency, then slowly shut off the spigot to convert to real money. This one seems to have severe balance issues in favor of the player, especially during events -- meaning I'm now deep in the endgame in a week without paying any real money.

Huh, I did not know "WickedlyFastWiFi" is San Jose's public SSID, and that they deployed it as a municipal service. That's neat.

A commission we got, credited to Dinosaur Toy! Me and my partner @Goldkin ^^ Enjoying some time at the beach together
Apparently, using instant coffee and a fillable tea bag works in those hotel single cup coffee makers. I shall now ponder what to do with this forbidden knowledge of the ancients while sipping coffee.

Oh wow, the Westin is a major step up from the amenities I was in for work this week. Hello, clean water, fridge, and coffee maker, I missed you.

Steal this idea: a live-action show where all the dialog for human actors is just audio of actual cat noises, dubbed in Jingle Cats style. So everybody's talking to each other like all is normal, but all their dialog is replaced by meows and prrs that suggest the right tone of voice and lip synch.
And then, and THEN, there's a scene where they have a cat, and when the cat meows, it's dubbed with a bass human voice just saying the word "meow" in the least catlike way possible.

I always imagine in universes where taurs and nagas are a thing, that 70's style 'Conversation pits' never really went out of fashion? Like, imagine a big'ol lion taur lazing over you as you both sprawl out into a soft sunken area of the floor, or twining with a naga for movies.
