@Felthry @Terrana@tootplanet.space *hugs Felthry* Take care of yourself, okay? You know you can't handle talking to that person about politics. I know it's tempting to try to help him understand, and he does seem to be coming around, but it's stressful and you can't always handle that.

@Felthry Good job! ^.^
ooh, for the next hour the entire Avernum series is 75% off--that means you can get the originals (not the remakes (or rather, the first remakes?)) of all six games for $3.

@Xkeeper Felthry's had this as a bug report/feature request on the glitch.social github for a while, but it doesn't include the details of it messing up animations and pixel art. You might want to add that.

@BatElite If we remember right, it is something sound cards did back then. I would guess it was just a convenient place to put them, since any computer one would play games with a joystick on would probably have a sound card, and the sound card itself didn't need many external connectors, leaving room for a joystick port on the back panel.

@tastymochafox I know how you feel...

Felthry had an interesting thought for a mathematical challenge yesterday: Come up with four statements, none of which taken alone can prove any of the others, but any two of which, taken as axioms, can prove both of the others.
I'm not as sure as it was that this is all that challenging, to someone more familiar than us with the principles of formal logic.
hot economic take
Minimum wage is a shitty basic income program that only covers people with jobs, at the expense of employers.
I’d rather we have basic income and no minimum wage. When “unemployed” doesn’t mean “starving and homeless”, it’s a valid competitor to “terrible underpaying job” and suddenly wages will correlate somewhat with suckitude of a job

@vahnj There are lizards who can regrow tails. I'd imagine these monsters can too.
Headmate to @Felthry, still figuring out how things are after a long absence.
