I am fortunate to live in a place of strong leaves

a red maybe sugar maple leaf, backlit and looking cool and luminous

I guess both this & I'd Buy That are about sort of joyful idiot inaction

- the state of happiness can only be achieved through the sense of taste (this may or may not have to do with food) - the only way to recognize happiness is by its taste - anything that tastes good must be making you happy - baby talk is how to communicate about emotions

just caught a glimpse of some Gender Demons: two people holding hands: one of them looked like Taffy from Female Trouble in tank top and sweatpants the same shade of bubblegum pink; and the other looked like Crank from Crank: the Movie but more of a square aspect ratio, in medium blue. chilling

I wonder what made "out of an abundance of caution" catch on as a phrase so fully. I feel like it's eclipsed all other less stilted ones? it seems like such a functionary kind of phrase, to me, that I can't imagine choosing it.

was literally just referencing this—the “who is having the most fun, the player, the designer, or the computer” question—earlier today. it’s such a core concern when making something heavily systemic or relies a lot on procgen

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

it was good enough for Meret Oppenheim, so I don't see what the problem is

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

I saw it with my community choir and I had fun with it. I think the guy playing Orpheus was not quite equal to the task, and they sort of melded the Fates and Furies, but, you know. some very fun songs

Made a 2 page ttrpg called “YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY!”. Based on a speech by Jacob Wysocki, it’s a game where you can do things a regular guy can do. If done right, you can achieve godly feats through actions as basic as answering a phone. Waking up is honestly OP.
