Yeah, sorry, I can't make it today, real embarrassing but Madotsuki turned into a stoplight and changed to red. Now she's just walking on different tiles to play sound effects. Yeah, no, yeah, it's her base walk speed so it's gonna be awhile yet. Tomorrow's probably good. Sorry.

Just been informed that the Pythonic equivalent of e.flatMap(w => w['tags']) is a nested list comprehension of the form "[tag for w in e for tag in w['tags']]", once again keeping me humble about my programming language assumptions.

I was reading a reddit thread about window title bars versus "header bars" (header bars are essentially toolbars or tab bars, such as in Chrome) and the main argument was that, as title bars are the only way to drag a window, header bars eat into that precious space too much.

If you have Fate/stay night installed, then pressing the F8 key should launch it. It's not like anything's using that key for something more important.

YEEHAW! I'm back to review the limited-edition 2025 ShortBox comics (http://shortboxcomicsfair.com). Once again I brave wallet-shredding exchange rates to AUD to reap an eclectic mix of panelled art.

I'm trying to condition myself into becoming someone who'd actually switch to Linux. Just sitting alone saying things like "Oh, of COURSE I have opinions about what the best network time protocol client is" to myself.

https://foreach.neocities.org/ – I just got dropped a rec for this webcomic, so I'm giving it a shot.
00s and 10s webcomic-heads like myself may find its basic premise and tone comfortingly familiar, albeit for a lot of different reasons at once.

It's funny to think about the theory that Hindu-Arabic base-10 numbers arose, not just from science or engineering needs, but because Hindu theology, in particular, involves extremely large numbers like the number of years in 1 kalpa (4320000000) or the Satya Yuga (up to 1728000)

Deltarune fanfic: the problem of how a small town can have its only exit road blocked with police tape for multiple days is solved by the construction of a ramp on the outside, allowing incoming cars to jump the tape.

Just spent 30 minutes struggling to remember what this awfully dinky melody that floated in from my deep subconscious was from, and finally managed to realise… that it's the theme… from the original Tux Racer…

Recently I surveyed my most common Windows programs to sort out what exactly the F keys did in each, and I'm a little dismayed to report…… F9 doesn't have a real use?? Unlike its popular counterparts F1-Help and F5-Refresh, F9 is always some misc menu item, if anything at all.

The first ever "boss runback" in videogames was when Super Mario Bros. 1 didn't include midway checkpoints in the castles.

Wow, have I been incapable of accomplishing anything for the past month.
A huge and emotionally exhausting long-term event has started to finally unfold in my day-to-day life, but even before that, I've been demotivated into plain mental immobility.

Anyway, what else… I've been playing the full version of Öoo. What I'll say is that it has the smuggest dead ends I've seen in any game ever. The sort of dead ends that level designers wax lyrical about years later. Genre-defining dead ends.

I've been feeling rather depressed for the past week or so, so much that I haven't been able to string a single tweet together.
There are a few reasons, but the payment processor vs itchio debacle, and the shadow it casts over the future of the net itself, is high among them.
