even worse, the dating sim in question is also a fucking idle game that does a lot of send-ups of dating sim tropes. so it's like, multiple levels of embarrassing

@Axel_Hugsky holy shit this is a work of art

@hi_cial honestly it mostly stuck out to me because of how weirdly quiet it was in the cafe, usually the employees are all chatting with each other and stuff (in... fuck, arabic or french, usually i can't really make out enough to tell) but they were all quietly keeping half an eye on the USA/IRN game on tv when i was in there

playing a trashy dating sim and getting a crush on one of the characters: you don't think it'll happen to you until it does

@hi_cial (help i am getting in my own head about a food joke)

@hi_cial obviously american food made by american foodies can be and often is also great. and probably i didn't think fully through the implications of the original post. (as a white american... maybe i should delete it? though it is resonating with people, it seems)

@hi_cial it was inspired by a real experience i just had in my favorite cafe but i am not worldly enough to say whether it's universal or not. i suppose my angle was that it adds to the sublime aura of legitness you get in restaurants owned by immigrants who care deeply about... food, and also things in general

if you are in a restaurant in america and the employees are distracted by the world cup on tv, don't get mad. that's how you know the food is gonna be good

@lyncia awoo.space has this already, i would be surprised if other forks didnt also have the option

im in the early process of designing a game console built on top of a custom cpu architecture. its kind of inseparable from the custom cpu because this whole thing is an excuse for me to design a processor, because i have weird interests

i worry that im wasting my time on this - unlike other modern retro computer projects like the Commander X16, which are based on well known and commonly available cpus like the 6502 or z80, i worry my thing is too niche to ever get anyone else interested in making anything for it

@c__pnk crashes through the fucking wall like the kool-aid man yes hello you rang?? befunge fantasy console?? hello????
