Played Thunderstone Quest at Gamescafé today. Never quite got in to gear so I had to watch everyone else going on dramatic dungeon fights while I was still punching giant rats. Good fun nonetheless.
Got my shiny new Australian passport today. Latest security feature: hallucinatory kangaroo graphics floating over the portrait page.
Pro tip for all NPCs: if you reply the same thing twice to a player, they will leave you alone.
Out dancing last night and glad I booked a day off afterwards because I feel kind of creaky and my knees are making sounds
Today's recipe is chicken with lots of broccoli, a recipe inspired by my having forgotten to buy any other vegetables.
I was cleaning in an older relatives' house with a turntable and LPs, many familiar from my youth. HOT TAKE: LPs are a natural Pomodoro technique. Start a side, do a thing. When the click-hiss at the center bugs you, wash your hands, have a drink, turn over the record, d.c.a.f.
I feel like I should be able to get this on Lifehacker.
Two fun birthday parties tonight with a companionable stroll along the half-upgraded river towpath connecting them …
Half the people I know seem to be having a birthday this weekend
It is fun playing Firefly Fluxx with Firefly fans because they get all happy about things on the cards I don't understand.
Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.
A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."
People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.
Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
I wonder if #render2018 has many attendees also on Mastodon 🙂
What is Mastodon? An animated video: https://youtu.be/IPSbNdBmWKE 🐘
Lucifer is entirely held up by the lead actor having like +50 charisma
Using Docker:
Step 1: I’m an idiot
Step 2: I’m a wizard
Step 3: no I was right the first time
Also this morning I woke up before my alarm realising I need to move a tower in Minecraft up by three blocks to make it fit properly
