I started keeping a Note on my phone titled Game Diary with different sections for games I’m playing, and write down what I was doing, my train of thought and what I wanted to do next, things I had to check on our fix etc, at the time I put it down. It’s helped immensely when I come back to something after a while and encounter exactly what you’re talking about.

No no no. No one should ever watch the remakes. The OG show and End of Eva movie, while not perfect, are an extraordinary and focused (again, with a few exceptions and missteps along the way) artistic expression from a soul in pain trying to understand and work through their traumas, the kind of exercise that some of the best art comes from.

The remakes are nonsensical meta garbage about Anno (the artist in question) trying to leave behind this behemoth IP empire that he accidentally created and desperately wants to be free of, to the point that he couldn’t even finish the damn things himself.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I truly regret the time I spent watching the remakes.

God I love SCP so much. Probably why I loved Control so much, it was like playing SCP: The Game or something.

Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

Weekend proooojeeeeeect! 🎵

I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.

BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.

Oh snap, I didn’t know that! Excited!!

Dude when this was included in PS Plus I got fucking consumed by this game! It’s beautiful and brutal and relaxing all at the same time. I would play a Hawaiian playlist on the Spotify app while playing and it was supremely chill… until I died from shark or diarrhea. Like I say, an interesting cocktail of stress and relaxation. Happy to see it getting some love.

“Draper heard about the whistle from other phreakers. The whistle easily played at 2600Hz, the perfect tone to, in Apple Inc. [co-founder Steve Wozniak’s words], “seize a phone line.”

Huh, I had always wondered why the hacking magazine was called 2600. Guess that explains it, neat!

Exactly! On their screens they would be seeing the code, but in their minds they’re seeing the structures and relationships of it all and that’s what the visuals were meant to represent to a layman audience.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?? It’s amazing and I must have it!!

Manual ordering of images in albums is an absolute must before I adopt any image management system. It’s wierd to me that seemingly none of the FOSS systems support it (considering that most of us are datahoading control freaks).

I thought Mullvad didn’t port forward any more so torrents didn’t work with it?

Awesome, cheers!

Which courses do you recommend?

God, I love these posts.

This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!

I also liked this:

“We have people who have been run over by trauma, by substance abuse, by all of these things,” LeBrun told Macleans. “It’s about excavating that person, buried under their circumstances, little by little.”

Seems like a decent dude.

It is infuriating to me how often people start explaining the rules without explaining what the actual goals are first. Like, what are we even doing here, start with that, m’kay?

Oh shit… do I have ADHD?
