Stopped playing Ruiner a couple months after it came out, last year. Never finished it. Couldn't remember why.
Decided to pick it up again tonight rather than succumb to buying Diablo on Switch. Holy crap I forgot how much I liked this game. Wherever I got stuck on it last time, I blew past there this time.
So much brutal cyberpunk synth & noise
@Helmic Yeah, like I want to see what the next song and over the top set piece is going to be.
I think I found a good combo of dashing and time slowing powers to bring the game down to my level. I seem to remember being frustrated to no end by some teleporting triad ninjas, but this time around I was zipping all over and out-ninjaing them
Maybe I'll have to replay Transistor next. Was obsessed with the soundtrack from that game for months
Reading Elysium Fire by Alastair Reynolds and I started giggling out loud at a bit where he managed to have a space cop set up a Prisoner's Dilemma between a woman and her own virtually simulated mind.
That thing where I go through all the control panels and settings to figure out why my webcam isn't working - and then I realize that I've left the physical lens cap on.
that thing where someone is horny on kickstarter main
@soypunk I really, really liked the whole Revelation Space series.
That said, this one takes place mostly as a police procedural within the Glitter Band around the planet Yellowstone, which isn't nearly so cosmic and grand and universe-spanning. I don't normally like police procedurals, but this one is doing pretty well for me.
Oh hey, my first code contribution to Mastodon got merged! Hopefully it ends up being handy https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/9200
Scratched my itchiest of itches on Mastodon, that being the timeline sliding out from under my mouse all Lucy-from-Peanuts-style as I go in to boost or fave something and I end up clicking on something else.
One of those things where it's really easy to make everything worse while trying to make one thing better, though. So there's a chance what I did ends up not being the right thing, and it'll get pulled back out.
That last @ShruBot sounded vaguely lewd
@cyberwitchlexi@cybre.space @LottieVixen Those cockpit light colors are *chef-kiss*
Had a sudden & inadvisable urge to hook OBS up to the video conference client so I can do weird effects from my stream in work meetings.
@noelle Oh, this is one of my all-time fave 2600 games. Lookin' good! :D
@noelle Also PICO-88 is a fun little place to hack. I've neglected it for awhile, should get back into it
@ckeen Having been tinkering with a few ActivityPub bots, I have noticed that Delete activities do flow around. My bots hear a lot of those messages
Also, thinking about how my ActivityPub bots get a lot of Delete activity messages, I had a notion to build a graveyard visualization for this past spookmonth. But, it also occurred to me that folks might think that that was anti-privacy to explicitly surface those things.
@ckeen Not sure... I have just noticed that almost as soon as one of my bots starts POSTing to inboxes, those servers start sending Delete activities back. I've been meaning to look into the Mastodon code to see where/why that's done.
@wohali Oh, yeah, there's a lot of "honor system" in this protocol for "private" things
@wohali I mean, nothing's stopping anyone from doing way more strict auth/authz and encryption on messages, but it's not the current general practice. So nothing is really private per se
@citrustwee ch-ch-ch-chia!
