@kitsch this is why god-adjacent CGI space clouds invented shielded sunglasses
Go, meds
I beat my tablet at 15 kyu and most of that was while sedated out of my gourd so
Based on this very limited data I think I'm probably slightly higher than 15 kyu, so higher than I expected getting back into Go after a long break
go me
My wish to play Go more and my aversion to playing 1v1 games with randos are dueling in my head
Playing with K is good but he's very early on the learning curve, and there's only so much 'getting kicked around the board' he's up for (which is understandable)
Thankfully AI is good enough that my tablet will handily beat me for the forseeable future
I should do that more
However the Wing Diver no longer has plasma jets for pigtails which burn bright pink whenever she uses her jetpack, which is criminal
EDF5 is good
I've only played a handful of missions but "EDF 4.1, but moreso" is my general impression, which is a good impression
Also balancing out levelling and weapon drops across the classes is a really good move

Age of Wonders III is free (to keep) on Steam atm!
I highly recommend AoW3; It's a good blend of 4X empire-biffing and Heroes of Might and Magic style wandering-heroes/tactical battle shenanigans, and probably our favourite 4X to date.
@Brainship We really struggle with completing projects and really relate to this
Idk if that makes it ADHD or not, but it's probably one factor
@pup_hime Mastaba Snoopy is rlly rlly good, to be fair
It's wonderful seeing so many people getting into Evangelion / It's heartbreaking seeing so many people have Wrong Opinions about Evangelion
@Moot@snouts.online *bangs fists on table* I am absolutely here for all of the EDF content
you are doing god's work
I'm so used to drawing furries that I can do human bodies pretty well but human faces are "Fffffrick how do I do this again"
Belatedly realising that physical fatigue is as much a reason why I never manage to finish Godel Escher Bach as mental fatigue
That book is *big*
Does anyone know of a good e-ink (or otherwise non-backlit) ebook reader that's either open or easily jailbroken?
Like, a Kindle without all the digital bondage those come with
(..Or "How old a Kindle should I look for and how hard would it be to hack open", alternatively)
Lightweight is also a big plus, as my wrists/arms aren't great for holding stuff up for long periods
Gosh the animation of Mob Psycho 100 is so good
It has a real good loose, fluid style of motion
@eris@cybre.space your dogs are adorable
re: surreal, kinda existential horror, body horror
@variance I also wanna point you towards http://surrealism-plays.com/Artaud.html
Artaud/To Have Done With The Judgement Of God is uhhh.. 'Complicated' (read: he exoticizes the hell outta tribal cultures he knows nothing about)
but with that up front?
The last few lines of this piece are etched indelibly into our skull for good reason
Because *damn* that just.. sums it up so well
(I'll stop the linkspam now, aha.. butyes we relate verymuch =V)
re: surreal, kinda existential horror, body horror
@variance We really uhh feel this stuff a lot
To the point we wrote a substantial Twine game on "ahhhh having a body is gross and weird and would vmuch like to not plz" a few years ago
https://dilapinated.itch.io/my-favourite-island
(it's also got a *lot* of other heavy stuff so uh, no pressure to play it implied)
re: surreal, kinda existential horror, body horror
Reading 'The Constant Gardener' for a bit of uplifting Le Carre sparkles (sarcasm)
It's.. Fine? About what we expected.
We like Le Carre a lot, and there's still a lot of his stuff we haven't read. Prettymuch anything that came after Smiley's People is still on the todo list, tbh- And I think we only watched the (very good) BBC miniseries for that.
But definitely not an author to marathon in terms of tone/content

@variance This is extremely relatable.
