Not only is it multiple meals, you combine the leftover trash with water and maybe an onion and you get a whole other meal out of it!!

if you find yourself at the intersection of art and technology, you can just keep walking down the art road. no one can stop you.

What do you mean “on cart”? It shipped for several consoles, yes, and I don’t think there’s a non-fan English translation.
(I’ve played Shiren 6 plenty and enjoy it, but will probably skip this port since no portrait and I’ve already got it handheld)

Awesome this is released in the west (the Shiren 5 port was available in English, but only on Japanese stores), but a real bummer they got rid of portrait support. The entire reason I play the Shiren 5 port is because it works so well one-handed in portrait mode.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island Plus is now on iOS and Android! 🎉📱
This version includes all feature updates and additional content that were previously offered as DLC on other platforms, as well as cross-play with other platforms! 😱

the fact that I have not seen a single bakushin armpit gif on Bsky gives me pause, what happened to the feral himejoshi here

mask blocs will often handoff, drop, or mail you masks and/or tests
🤩
mask wearing is nonbinary. if you are unable for work or whatever it doesn’t mean you can’t mask in other places
pick a place and try!
public transit is a great place to start!
masking is also *antifascist*
need masks?

if masks are pricey for you, reader, check out covidactionmap.org + maskbloc.org to see if there are groups near you who can provide them. no one near you? check the link in my bio for the “how to start a maskbloc” zine, & the thread below for tips on making air at your gatherings a lil safer.
don’t know where to start? here are some brands that i like (+a vid of me wearin some, for a visual):
•Bonafide Masks
•WellBefore
•Dräger
•BeHealthy
•Laianzhi
•Breatheteq
•BNX
•3M
•MaskC
•CambridgeMask
*buying directly from distributors (some use amazon)=best way to avoid less than quality product

The actual, academic meaning of “performative” is (to paraphrase probably too much) a speech act that enacts a material change. Saying “I now pronounce you man and wife” or “it’s a girl.” These are phrases with legal weight that impact lives.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

I haven’t had the energy to be involved in planning, but usually the CFP closes in July or August and opens up a few months before, so there’s lots of time

I have odd but positive feelings about being clearly in the “game dev industry professionals” cluster despite these days being an extremely sick person whose daily life unironically resembles that of a Daoist monk more than a computer-toucher
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Roguelike Celebration 2026, happening [unanounced fall dates]
Hey fam can we create a new alternative to Discord but it's a text-based MUD where you have to navigate the channels on foot by walking to the different rooms and chatting with the other players. Level up your character. learn some new spells. Make friends. Have fun.

In my experience, “emoji” is usually shorthand for “custom emoji reactions”, and I don’t know if there’s a good way to get either custom emoji or stock reactji in IRC

I'm surprised how strongly I've come to dislike any framing of healing techniques as "mind-body work". That is not a meaningful dichotomy; human cognition and intelligence, the human soul or essence or Self, nervous system regulation, these are all inseparable from our sheer meat-selves.

I’ve been playing Dragon Quest V for the first time, and the fact that it’s (thus far) trivially easy and nothing really happens in the story is the entire point for me. It’s a warm glass of milk before bed.
Just because something is easy doesn't mean your focus on it isn't rewarding. Here's me on why you shouldn't play Dragon Quest VII Reimagined on autopilot, like focusing on form even when the exercise isn't demanding.
autopilot + dragon quest vii reimagined - one more run
This week, I read a lot of reviews/posts/ephemera on Dragon Quest VII Reimagined that likened it to an idle game. I’m not going to say that the comparison isn’t fair....

ATproto is unfortunately tough for usecases that want privacy by default, trying to encrypt “on-chain” data is a bit antithetical to the protocol (see: Bsky.app DMs currently being “off-chain”/proprietary).
A worthwhile problem to solve, but a protocol-level rather than app-level concern.

I don’t think it’s live any more, but depressing to think that the art project I made over a decade ago about the fallibility of white-label “adult content” detection algorithms is even more relevant today
