Update: Baba's 'time' component is a signed integer and thus can be underflowed by playing.... 4,083 years.

accidentally profound idiom I came up with during work 

At scale, search is indistinguishable from social engineering.

... huh.

Now that i'm settled in back home, check out this amazing commission I got from Royalty at FE!

That Satisfactory game 

... is really good. I get a definite Subnautica vibe from it, and I've stopped and gasped at the scenery several times now.

It's also letting me build sustainably without messing too much with the game's (very, very, very pretty) ecosystem, which I was hoping for and greatly appreciate.

re: satisfactory, videogames, real recycling and solarpunk projects 

I play a lot of games that focus on optimizing resource harvesting/extraction. Lately, I've been much more interested in "builds that take just enough" and give back to the simulation than builds that optimize on maximum strip mining rates.

I guess it's a good way to tinker with how these builds might work in practice -- and I kind of translate it into real projects around the house here, including our solar panel, 3D print, and plant projects.

I guess I never mentioned that we now have the ability to recycle plastics entirely on our own here at home, powered by the sun. I should document that sometime.

satisfactory, videogames 

This looks like a game I will play, but I'm not digging the "strip mine the planet for resources" aesthetic promoted by the trailer: satisfactorygame.com/

I think I'm going to use it to simulate solarpunk and augmented/hybridized nature builds to see how those pan out.

things I've been doing, videogames 

Last month was house repairs, houseguests, and snowpocalpyse parts one and two. This month is travel, in which I'll be flying out to the mothership for $JOB tomorrow. Between both of these have been cooperative and builder videogames to manage stress, which seems to be a usual pattern for me.

I will never stop having the urge to build and create, even when circumstances feel demanding or doomful. In a way, it's comforting. I need to figure out how to share more of that here again, at some indeterminate time when I have enough spoons again.

mh, affirmation 

Doing my best to keep it together while the world seems much too scary. It isn’t much, but it’s something.

Keep warm out there. It’s cold and stormy and gray right now. Share the warmth, if you can.

@andrhia mastodon has the same feature btw. It’s usually less bad here, because of content warnings, but I figured I’d throw that out there anyway, in case its useful to anyone

I just put a week-long Twitter mute on certain breaking news keywords in the interests of remaining a functional human

Did you know this is a thing you can do if you need to?

Anyone know any good, trans-friendly therapists towards the north end of Lake Washington? Can be Eastside or Westside; just been looking recently and haven’t really found anyone who looks good to me.

I especially like how I used “in case of trouble” in some old service notes, because the whole Bastion soundtrack is amazing: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-jU9EFTM

Question for Seattle/Portland area Folks (cw: alcohol) (plz boost!) 

Hey frens!

Do you know of any local breweries that are union shops?

I keep running into examples of Breweries that treat their employees like shit because they can get away with it. Here's a job posting from Rogue as an example.

I want to find union brewers 'cause union brewed beer tastes like solidarity, and solidarity is easily one of the world's finest flavors. :blobyum:

digital privacy, birdsite link 

This is a really neat way to teach folks how privacy works in the digital age: twitter.com/Klonick/status/110

tl;dr: using only Google, visit a public place and see just how many folks you can de-anonymize, as a lesson in how to protect oneself (and in this case, legal clients) from the same process.

Today I found out the official Mario Paint strategy guide is free on archive.org, and worth a look if you want to see how they filled 120 pages with potential applications for a piece of SNES creative software for kids in 1993

go to gendered bathrooms and replace the signs with two random things like, a fish and a sandal, and watch as people puzzle out which one is manlier

Someone is using Kass as their character model in this Wind Waker Randomizer race. The fact someone went through the effort of adding that to this older game has improved my mood significantly.
