Going to play my first game of Lancer today!
I have little idea of my background but I do have a giant robot with a gianter sword
So ought to be fun
re: pandemic, community
@variance ohhh that's really cool!
Today I stumbled upon the realisation that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has the plot and themes of a Cardassian repetitive epic, and now I want to see this so very badly
@variance that is the only meaning I know of as well
@variance trying to imagine a snail jogging now
re: video game thinking //
@Lioness@the.monsterpit.net the Rune Factory series has elements of this (taming monsters, they live on your farm, you up your friendship with them and they drop larger versions of their species resource after a while/fight better as companions/work on the farm more) but no breeding or emphasis on spawn locations
Hypnospace Outlaw is so fantastically good
I was worried it would just be a nostalgia trip, but instead it uses the period & the context as incredible framing to enable some incredible storytelling techniques
in part because what it simulates is corporate-space artificiality, the arbitrary mechanical rules and the forced detachment, so those aspects of gameplay enhance the immersion rather than damaging it
also playing with the detached-observer perspective, the mindset it pushes you into and all its contradictions
Domesticated Species:
Brown Rat -> Fancy Rat
House Mouse -> Fancy Mouse
Rock Dove -> Fancy Pigeon
(Prehistoric) Wolf -> Dog
Nononono
(Prehistoric) Wolf -> Fancy Wolf
Perfect
Rebuilt PC with new PSU, MB, CPU
Result: Same as before (though the case button definitely works, so that's another potential cause off the list, at least..)
Welp, that's enough for today anyway. No sense in burning myself out trying to find the problem right now.
Today will be take 2 of "try to plug a 24-pin cable into my motherboard without snapping it"
When they said it takes a bit of brute force, they weren't kidding
PC build is going in little increments each day
2 days and everything's removed & cleaned, case is dusted out
Jeez it is too hot for this stuff rn though
re: masking, NTs, medical
@anne@weirder.earth *nodding lots*
Yes-same to all of this
re: messages from subs are like meme punchlines
@ThreeLetterMax@elekk.xyz Oof
bird call mimicking other birds: nature is beautiful and precious
bird starts mimicking car alarms: nature has gone too far and must be stopped
Anyway "Warframe as a trans coming of age story" is a fanbabble I will happily go into at any opportunity, so it works out for me
