@vahnj gosh though I like the one with the curly horns.

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town One suggestion with simple-ish geometry would be The Citadel from half-life 2.

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town What kinds of building are you looking for? Planar geometries, arches and curves and shit, a lot or not a lot of greebling?

Okay folks

If the best books I've read in the last year were the Ancillary series and the Craft Sequence, what should I read next?

Or: please recommend books that are definitely speculative but also centered around people and their feelings and interactions.

@Irick Okay but talking only to servers that respect privacy is *literally* one of the primary purposes of whitelisting.

it's time for a fuckin'

AWOOOOO

Whoops should have bought those games while they were still on steam sale...

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town Nah there was also stuff about whitelisting being unendorseable.

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town garg was trash-talking whitelisting last night

I remember, just barely, the days of existing on the internet when you could have a rich social life on some random forum and be reasonably confident that even though technically public, niche visibility would shield your words from being exposed to groups who wanted to cause harm.

I want that back.

I thought the entire point of distributed instances was so that people could build connected but not-public spaces in ways that worked for them.

I don't *want* to be in a public space. If I did, I'd go somewhere else.

Repeating this as many times as necessary:

A space being online doesn't mean it needs to be public space.

A space being part of a social network doesn't mean it needs to be public space.

@memnus@octodon.social You're the second person to say Cygnus X-1! :D

@Firstaide I've seen those used in cosplay too, where there's room to stash the tank and pumps and stuff.

@Firstaide Yeah. NASCAR drivers and space suits have even fancier ones that use internal plumbing and water pumped from reservoirs.

@Aradia@mastodon.social AWOO

@KawaSeadrake A friend of @acetone_kitten brought it from iceland.

@literorrery death ray IRL edition.

@Firstaide erm, the coolsuits are designed for that, sorry for syntactic ambiguity.
