- Enshrouded or Runescape: Dragonwilds would be my first choice
- Palia, but you'll need to grind and might be too cozy
- if you just want it as a visual reference, maybe Sims with some expansions, or mods/CCs?
- There are some mods for BG3 and Skyrim, but not sure how good they are

Listen, Petr's one saving grace is that he didn't contribute to the majority of it.

Love being able to make silly stickers of my and my friends’ blorbos

A cartoon about scope creep and creative process, using shapes as metaphor for projects

“Just make it exist!” Isn’t that simple, and neither is “making it good.”

I know the left hand graphic has been making the rounds and is meant as motivation, but as a frequent victim of Scope Creep, please learn from my mistakes 😂🥲

I don't know what you are talking about…

Microsoft Smurface (I'll see myself out…)

I believe you should be able to "hack" it with HTML, yes. A bit surprised that a WYSIWYG tool like this doesn't support copying formatting, but hey. I'll send you a message with the details of what should work.

Screenshot of the DuckDuckGo "Search settings" modal. the "AI Features" setting appears all the way at the bottom with a "Manage" link that will take you to a separate screen.

Screenshot of the DuckDuckGo "AI Features" section of the "Search Settings" showing Duck.ai turned off, Search Assist set to "Never" & Hide AI Generated Images turned on.

There should be an option to turn it off completely. I just checked and it still there, but they hid it a bit more. You click the gear icon -> AI Features click "Manage" -> Set "Search Assist" to "Never" (And while there, might as well turn off Duck AI and hide AI generated images). Hope this helps!

Very important session notes!

Finished Wiktopher by Rek Bell and wrote a short review of it. I really enjoyed it, and will probably continue exploring the Sonoran Desert in my sketches for some time yet! My two-word summary would be - playful and heart-felt!

I see you, card games are extremely fun and so easy, since you can just grab a deck and have countless games at your disposal.

But I also want to break you out of that shell. There are so many cool board games that are not hard to learn and are more crunchy/thematic! Give them a try sometimes!

Yeah, I think it might be due to a different "industry" culture, especially if you are comparing it to academia. Most tech companies I know, you can talk informally to everyone, including the CEO.
Whereas people I know in law will use formal language even if they've known each other for years

I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

A finished game of at://2048, an implementation of the 2048 tile-moving game using atproto. The final score is 63,888 and the biggest tiles are 4096 and 2048.

I'm so glad this was my first attempt, so I can just let it go & not become addicted to this game again 😅

I just scored 63,888 on a game of at://2048.
Think you can do better? Join in on the fun with @2048.blue.

Card from a game featuring a soldier colored in red on a dark background. White font shows a shield, the word minion, and the number two.

Card from a game featuring a person casting a spell surrounded by green stone pillars. White font reads the words moon altar, shield symbol, and description of the card's effect.

I need to get back to the NOVA card game. @nightjargames.bsky.social made some really cool mockups and I just need to finish the dang thing.

When I was in Ireland, the museum was free but they had this thing you could tap (credit card or presumably phone/watch) & auto donate 5 Euro.

Was thinking - it would be nice if there was a similar thing for artists to use at events?

Thinking about "text using propaganda register of x to convey anti-x ideas" generally.

I do find that disclaimers of various kinds (which includes "looming context") aesthetically dissatisfying ... Often necessary, and I used them myself all the time. But they puncture the LARP-y conceit.

ABC

I use both, each has merit (though I guess in some cases I conflate the protocol with the major platform using it), but also things I don't like about it.

If I was forced to choose one, and we are talking strictly protocol, then I'd go with ActivityPub.

(I should write a note about my stance)

Have you read the paper that introduced the "Turing test"? You know, by Alan Turing. One of the great minds of computing?

No?

It's… distressingly bad. Hilariously, mind-numbingly, hair-pullingly bad.

One of the most widely circulated ideas of our field is, in fact, a total face-plant.

I know this has been talked about, but they’re rolling out the ‘edit image with grok’ thing for mobile users on Twitter(the option came up on my iPad). More randos can play with any artwork you upload. I know some artist friends still use the site, so be careful out there!

Quotable moment from the film Knives Out in which Daniel Craig's character, Benoit Blanc, says "It makes no damn sense. Compels me though..."

Playing Blue Prince:

And a bucket, most likely...

Just stay underground and use all of your worm hands to pray and you'll be fine.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Unfortunately they’re dooming the rest of us who did learn too.

Looking forward to something hopefully landing on the TLOG!

(Yes, I'm still not dead) Can I just say, that I truly appreciate when people/companies send you an e-mail about re-evaluating your subscription to their mailing list? Thank you, yes I haven't been reading your e-mails, I probably can just unsubscribe and save storage and compute on both ends!

Finished reading High Conflict by Amanda Ripley. It was a very eye-opening read, one that I believe everyone should go read in our polarized day and age. Seriously, find a copy and go read it!

You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit?

Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit?

Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers
