I mean do they actually have to deliver? Couldn't this just be a thinly veiled way of giving money to Russia. (Because they hate Ukraine).

I thought these were screenshots from a Fallout game.

I mean wasn't this always the case. Every other windows version people hated. 97. 2000. Hell, if I recall people preferred DOS over early versions of Windows.

Since I had to look them up... What are your takes on gilded and full bleed edges?

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

A series of intestines. In that no one knows how the sausage is made (and frankly is too scared of the truth).

If NYT is such a well known game publisher, why aren't they hiring more narrative designers and writers?

020

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I'm uncertain with my memory, but any game that includes a newspaper/print shop level might have one. 7 Days to Die doesn't have a specific model but kit bashes one together in various POIs. And Payday 2 has a "press" on its Counterfeit heist.

This is a total "Did I do that? ...Oops." look.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Like "over" as in hiding the sky from you like a giant holding a tiny umbrella?

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Man. I need like a 70s airbrushed diorama painted on its side.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Sad, that there isn't a single story about how this recipe was handed down from the archaic veteran to the poster in their intern year.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I swear I played it on our 3/486 so DOS at least.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

This is the 5 & 1/4" CYMK one, right? I think this was one of my first experiences of a game at home. Oregon Trail, Zork and 3D tic-tac-toe were my true firsts at school and Dad's work respectively.

Wasn't this just Watchdogs 3 for you?

I mean... Aren't they a bit young for the X-Men? You could have Splinter and Logan both be the reluctant teachers of these New Mutants.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Quit the job making art or the practice of making art? I feel those are really two separate things that get merged into one.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Men... Used to be Animorphs and could shrink/transform into boars.

Is it XKCD's version of Boom De Yada?

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Oh. Also finding a tertiary use for your music might help. Not all music is dance music. Some are good for singing along. Others might be more a soundtrack/music video vibe. And some might be just good to study/work to.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Unfortunately, bars are the best places for new musicians to network. Open Mic nights, local music festivals & dance clubs are really funded by booze. Depending on the genre, Twitch might not be too bad of a community. And with every art in the end it's just about creating & sharing (+tough skin).

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It just comes down to find something you enjoy doing and try to find others that want to do it with you.

120

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Unfortunately the only practical advice I might offer is going to the Gym (not generally the most pro-trans place), Bar/Pub (expensive and well not really healthy), a Church (my least favorite of the recommendations), or join a club (outside activities) or clan (digital activities).

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Basically the more you had in common with someone and the rate you experienced that commonality consistently, the more likely a social bond would form. This also sort of explains the Enemies to Lovers trope with rivals. They do the same thing over and over again.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

A long time ago there was a ludo think-tank called Project Horseshoe and they did a great paper on 'How to make your players play together'. Mostly it was just a paper on how friendships/relationships are formed. Which came down to commonality and repetition/consistency.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Hugs. Establishing new friends/maintaining old ones are a real challenge after school (secondary/post-secondary). We just don't have the same consistency as then, and coworkers don't really fill the same social need.

Hahahhaha. Somewhere Micheal Bay is getting a script written.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I'm starting to believe that reality is starting to take cues from bad Hollywood films.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I wanted to write Cybelene Trans-Priestesses since the acronym would be CTB but then it sounds more like a 70s Prog-Rock band with 20min long songs.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I thought busses were only found in the upper sparkling region of the ocean. You know the "fancy" part.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The Trans-Priestesses of Cybele sounds like a great band name.

Unusual games made by Unusual people for Unusual Times. Unseen Games, a twig of Unseen University. ;)

No. Probably. Depends. I feel the last one is very contextual and situational. I would offer the button to the afflicted friend and let them make the judgement call.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I had just got off my graveyard shift at the University radio station, and I remember my mother waking me up after like 30min of sleep. And I very much said... "Look... If it's important it'll be on the news after I wake up." The next (same) day at the Uni was very surreal.

If you were going to make some challenges for SimCity 2000 at least use the game engine for the pics.

I'm sure the witches would prefer Hextember.

Man... your Sea of Thieves crew is getting weirder and weirder. And I only know of your adventures from your posts.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Enemies to Lovers trope. I mean come on... We can all see the red thread that binds the two together.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Someone should remind him that they can't even win the war they're currently in. Also... Given the reports on morale in the Navy, I really doubt any arm of the US military would even consider attacking Canada.

It sounds like only a couple are in the realm of truth and the rest are just AI hallucinations.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Whitney is why. She is clearly for adults only. Wu Tang... Wu Tang is for the children.

Hollow bones. Reacher, like birds, is a descendant of dinosaurs. He's basically a cuddly T-Rex.

Le sigh. I mean any place (virtual or actual) that provides a regular place of comfort and communication can be a place of community. Whether it's a forum from the 90s, a pub... _somewhere_, or just a discord of friends of friends.

000

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I adore this idea. Being able to sing the chorus of any song, but only the chorus. Pitch perfect.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

You know... I think I prefer the script to the actual strip.

Maybe it's a delayed suspension? Or the moderator is just very shy?

Oooooooh. Like young Master Bruce Wayne. The gendered PhD thing is weird though.

Nathan "DaChibi" Johnston @dachibi.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Master? What? Do they think Mace Windu is filling out the form. I thought people with Masters just had the trailing designation, like MEng, or MSci.

This also leads into the story of Dorian Gray. Is he immortal because his soul has been transferred to the painting, and thus his earthly self is just a shell?
