I quite liked Necromerger. It has a very fun monster aesthetic, the little guy talks like invader zim, and I honestly wasn’t put off by the minorization. Had about 100 hours and no reason to delete it after 8 months, so I bought the premium version, 9 bucks, 1 time purchase, just gives you more energy or something.

I ultimately ended up out doing myself, got to a point where I got my satisfaction and still had energy left so I ended up playing longer than I wanted. Can’t say I’ve ever complained about getting more game per game, but it was hard to put down when whatever I was waiting for showed up.

Fun fact, baby carrots aren’t babies at all. They take any carrot that doesn’t fit their classic 🥕 shape and put it through a machine that cuts them to length and lathes them into the tiny rounded dowels we know and love. The inventor of the machine was inspired by his wife wishing she didn’t have to cut and peal carrots for recipes.

They’re not babies, they’re the dismembered bits of any healthy plant that dares not conform to the advertised, mass appeal standards of consumer products, mechanically processed and sold to us with a marketable name.

I honestly don’t know anymore. I though I had a really diverse music taste and I especially love abnormal noises in music, but then I used musicbrainz to categorize all my music and found out the basically everything I listen to has the Avantgarde genre. I don’t know if that’s supposed to mean I’m on the far edge of adventure and listening to only the most experiential of music or if I’m so narrow in my niche that I only listen to music considered too weird to categorize.

Gowlfing. You go bowling, but you put the bumpers up so no one can gutterball and you play for the lowest score. Everyone is equally bad at it, it’s hilarious to play, and it confuses the shit out of other lanes.

Speed minigolf. It’s minigolf, but if your ball comes to a complete stop you have to start back at the tee with all the swings you’ve already taken. The ball and the club have to be in motion when they collide or you start again. So it leads to everyone galloping through the course, shouting numbers as they swing and desperately trying to get the right angle on a moving target. Do not play when there are other guests.

Monopoly deal is remarkably fun for a monopoly spin off. It’s even more fun with two decks and everyone plays for 5 sets.

For a short while I had a ttrpg version of magic the gathering. Not the d&d tie ins, it was commander, but your commander is a character sheet with stat based rules to allow you to pick any card that meets the requirements. You start off with only a 2 drop rare, and as you level up you get perks that change that. Every game you play with that deck earns experience, and once a month we’d do a dungeon crawl as our characters, using our signature noncreature cards from our decks. It was fun while it lasted but life always gets in the way.

Twister. It’s twister, but you have to get up and spin around for 10 seconds each time.

Hand of Glory. It’s played with tarot cards because French tarot an poker aren’t intractable enough. Each player has 7 cards in hand, you have to make a set of 5 in classic poker values, with a 6th card that’s a major arcana and a 7th spare. Each turn you draw a card and discard a card. You may take the top of the deck or the top of the discard. A player may discard a major arcana when another player draws a card to trade it with the drawing player for the card they would’ve gotten. When you have a winning hand you declare your clutch, and the other players may play a major arcana that’s higher than yours to block you from winning. You may in turn block this by playing a higher card from your spare. If you don’t you discard your hand and draw 7, they take your losing major arcana. If the fool is played to block a winning clutch, all players discard their hands. If the World is used to block a winning clutch, that is a hand of fate and the blocking player is allowed to immediately play a winning clutch if they have one. If the world is played as the arcana for a winning clutch, that’s a Hand of Glory and can only be blocked by playing the fool. Conventionally, the game is repeatedly shuffled up and dealt until a Hand of Glory is played, at that point the player with the most wins is the Victor.

Is there a particular reason to avoid crossing the streams here? As I understood it, exiting the VPN lumps everyone using that node together, so of doesn’t matter if you’re logging in from a node that’s torrenting, they’d have to make a solid case that you were the only person connected to that node.

That’s too big a word and too specific a bible reference. They’ll just ask if you’re some kind of queer and then vaguely threaten to shoot you.

If you use aquarium silicone adhesive, they won’t be damaged, the adhesive is weather proof, and the silicone gives a flex and wiggle that prevents sheering. We had a dime stuck to our porch for 8 years and when it finally came up, it was because the concrete had eroded underneath it.

My dad taught that one to me in high school. He stuck $1.50 in random change to the ground in front of the soda machine at the apartments he was groundskeeper for. On slow days he’d sit and watch the local kids try desperately to get a free soda with money they can’t pick up.

Frankly, day one. The idea that America was ever an example to the rest of the world is American revisionism. If you actually look at American history you’ll see the current American administration is very in line with the way we’ve always been.

Had to look this up, holy fuck that goes from 0-100 fast…

This is the video that open my eyes to this anomaly.

We literally don’t know! There’s a while anthropological study called child lore that focuses on the almost universal things that children share with each other and we still can’t actually find the origin of this.

My theory is it’s the true form of the yellow sign, the Lovecraftian rune that allows the eldrich being, Hastur, to exert his influence on mortals.

But actually the big thing that helped me was sitting down and assessing why I wanted to correct this stuff. It never gave me any satisfaction, it never lead to anything I liked, and a good deal of it was likely venting trauma from being talked down to all my life. Once I put it together it just kind of stopped happening.

I always heard “Dirty deeds in those dungarees”

To add in here, what’s the ups and downs or joining a server vs hosting your own?

This is a masterpiece.

For like 2 years after I switched to DDG it was so much better than Google. It still pulled all the obvious things, but DDG would get me the very specific things that Google obviously wants dead. Stuff like niche forum sites and dubious piracy content. Lately though, DDG just gets a wall of poorly made AI generated sites. I liken my search efforts to trying to block all the moe communities on Lemmy, each one you bonk turns into two more.

Anyone have a better option? Because I’ll take it

Last I heard they only released the data on what they had, when did they release the actual music?

So, my knee jerk reaction here is anger but I think you have enough of that in the posts. I actually work in the mental health field, and if you’d like some actual information coming from actual professionals, backed by actual research, as well as a hefty dose of lived experience, hit me up. Autism is more my spouse’s field, I’m the ADHD guy, but I’m more than happy to share just for the chance that it might help someone with autism down the line.

There’s a cartoon too

I’m far more a fan of the dirty and dank steampunk. In a world powered by coal and steam, a clean face and smogless day are a fantasy too far
