Wandering Adventure Party

Well. Shit. Comic-k just decided to up and shut down.

The hotel staff always seem slightly shocked and vaguely pleased when you ask to use the outgoing mail box service, like you’ve uncovered an Easter egg.

There is not nearly as much swearing on the fediverse as I would expect. This place often makes me feel very foul mouthed.

@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe huh. finally went through it just took a really long time.

@shrew@oomfie.city crows take shiny things from whomever they please and shit on rich people’s cars with impunity. I think they’re on their way.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net I love mushrooms in food, but they’re also my spirit-plant(ish).

Look at this weird, incredibly hard to identify little existence that just popped inexplicably out of nowhere amidst trash, rot, and general bullshit. It might be delicious; if may also make you see demons.

There but go I, if I were only a fungus.

@yon@sakurajima.moe @invalidname@mastodon.social @fujiwara@sakurajima.moe time is a big dumb circle. Companies used to release year-versioned software (win95, etc). But then they stopped because it created an expectation for a certain release cadence that took control out of companies hands.

…and now we’re going back?

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net I suppose someone had to move into the market after Pepsi exited.

@peachymist@labyrinth.zone I mean I knew who he was, and some of the other snakes in that swamp, but what I was really struck by is that … there is no one like Kirk or others like him that could think of in the leftist space that I knew of. Maybe I’m wrong but the slavish following of talking heads just doesn’t seem to exist in leftist circles to such a degree.

@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe @animeblogging@fedigroups.social I jury just couldn’t subscribe to any groups - the follow request never completed. Guppe had a similar issue at one point. I’ll try again at some future date.

It looks like fedigroups does not work with Sharkey. ​​ I am not sure where to file a bug…

It occurred to me last week that the media is really blind to the fact that GenZ + are not just instagram people, but discord people. 4chan is old news in this space; instead the origin story of almost every instance of these nihilistic meme shooters is in a discord room, meming away.

I’ve said this before, but to many people’s discord is becoming the internet. It’s definitely becoming the engine of right-wing germination.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net good morning. Please step carefully as you exit the oblivion of sleep. The first step is a doozy.

@yon@sakurajima.moe It's not really building, but I've been playing Little Witch in the Woods, which is on the verge of getting a full release. It's decently chill and pretty cute.

There are quests, and timed quests (fill order by Sunday, and such), but failing them doesn't have consequence. You basically just run around, collect ingredients and things, and make potions to sell and advance to the next area, which advances the loop. In that sense its a little boring, but I still enjoy it as a relaxing game.

@yon@sakurajima.moe I rolled the dice and did it the day before I have to fly. I really don’t want to come home with any funk though, so it’s the most proactive I can be.

I got vaccines today and those always leave me really tired… ​​

Wait, you’re telling me there’s no equivalent place in the UK where you can go when you want a breakfast and a good fist fight?

@niko@gts.niko.lgbt I think the one comment I make consistently during code review that most annoys other developers is on comments when I say “You are not going to remember what this meant in 3 weeks, let alone two years. No one else knows what it means now”

@fireweed this is less about X and more about the fact that corporate media has become extremely safe and lazy, probably for the purpose of cost cutting.

They just reprint whatever the police or someone important said. Like damn, no wonder, you’d be losing your jobs even if subs hasn’t tanked anyways because they just don’t need that many people to wait for and transcribe White House press conferences.

It’s only about X in the sense that consumers can’t distinguish amateur journalism from professional journalism when you operate like this, so of course people are happy to read some jackass take on X.

Big pet peeve is how much modern mainstream media is just “launder whatever the police or someone important on X said”
