Browsing Netflix and discovered that one of the sci-fi books I read as a kid has apparently become a movie. Bruce Coville was one of my favorite authors when I was young, and I hope more of his stuff is adapted. I’ve flagged “Aliens Ate My Homework” to watch later, meanwhile.

An animation I commissioned from @fablepaint@twitter.com of Zenith being a swimmy noodle!
the result is absolutely incredible, I love him so much!

Three straight Ranked wins as Crystal Maiden in #DOTA2. Maybe I won’t calibrate into Herald after all. The DOTA Plus item build suggestions are hilariously bad for CM, though. Seriously, Daedalus?
Some part of me is convinced that a good name for a low-budget poorly-made board-game-themed ultraviolent horror movie would be “The Splatterers of Catan”

Viddy games...
I appreciate (seriously, I love it dearly) that you are re-releasing old NeoGeo, DataEast, Natsume, and other old arcade-era company ports onto modern systems. It totally brightens my mood when I see something treasured from my childhood become suddenly accessible.
If it's not to much to ask, can you please put some more obscure ones up that maybe didn't receive the love they deserved? I promise I'll keep picking them up!

Condolences to the person running mastodon.rocks (which lost its database). I know that sinking feeling as you realize that something went wrong.
Let it be a serious reminder to everyone to have regular backups.
I've lost an entire VPS to Scaleway once, it wasn't even anything I did, their hardware just failed. Not having backups is living on the edge.
I graduated over a decade ago and I still have that recurring nightmare about coming up towards the end of a semester and realizing that due to depression and exhaustion I hadn’t been studying for one of my classes and had missed many of the lectures
mental health, a relative improvement
I need to stop trying to control other people’s behavior by trying to hide my needs and interests. I treat myself as though I have an obligation to be invisible and unnoticed so I don’t inadvertently affect people around me and “make” them spend time or energy trying to cater to my “whims”.
It’s hard to change the behavior because my internal value system is screwed up enough that this feels like “one of few things I do right”.

I have been in declining mental health since DST started and my thoughts and behavior have gotten increasingly self-destructive. I’ve been trying not to talk about it because people already have enough to deal with and they don’t need the whining of a privileged, entitled-feeling tech-bro in their face to go along with it. I should shut the fuck up and get back to work
The most difficult obstacle in PAC-Man CE 2 Plus for the Switch isn’t the ghosts, it’s the absurd level of framedropping when the game gets hectic. 2D game and a modern console can’t keep up. It also drops some on PC and PS4 as well, it’s not just the Switch; I assume it’s allocating a heap object for every goddamn dot and running a mark and sweep garbage collector five times a game

A friend made an excellent observation: Take the short title of any article from the spine of a National Geographic magazine and you have an amazing band name.
For example:
Dolphin Intelligence
African Pharaohs
Healing Soldiers
The Gender Issue
Hubble at 25
Food Trucks
Roman Shipwreck
Osprey
no, brain, generally speaking the name “Dan” is not short for “Danjamin”
I now have a Pandánte set and nobody immediately available who is interested in Pandánte other than me. >.-.> Not for the first time, I am contemplating the disadvantages of living in Redmond rather than Seattle

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

This sounds like a joke but I swear it isn’t. Last night, I dreamed of desperate Girl Scouts swarming infrequently-used intersections in golf carts, aggressively blocking in cars stopping at stop signs to demand the purchase of cookies before they will free the unfortunate motorist, because who wants to run over a Girl Scout, seriously
This may be inspired by the three distinct Girl Scout stands by the three exits to my local grocery store, getting increasingly adamant
