my year of the linux desktop is nearing its end, and I am confident in saying next year for me will also be a year of the linux desktop

whenever I find a minute, I wanna do a little writeup somewhere to describe what it's been like. My TLDR is that any minor annoyances are cancelled out by knowing A) I'm no longer enabling Microsoft, B) I wouldn't have avoided these kinds of annoyances on Windows 11 either

"fusion of Descent and Souls-like" sounds like madlibs nonsense, and yet somehow the trailers get the point across perfectly

Dominic Tarason@dominictarason.com

Oh, wow, just tried the demo for Echoes Of Nothing. It's a hard sci-fi fusion of Descent and Souls-like, but that's still pretty reductive. This plays like nothing else. You start out as a small space pod, salvaging parts from wrecks and transferring into intact chassis, working up the food chain.

very sad I can't find anyone playing the demo of "BOLD:\\ networked newt action" aka an attempt at reviving Splinter Cell multiplayer. At least I can participate in a solitary Miku rave

joined the discord to do a few rounds with folks and it turns out the demo is pretty good, you should watch this video and check it out too

One of the regular hurdles for Spies vs Mercs is its learning curve-- to address this, we at Team Sussy Newts present our first ViDoc explaining the nature of BOLD: Networked Newt Action. youtu.be/LyRFuSQPPBw #boldgame #spiesvsmercs

recently I made up my mind that I'm going to quit my job "some time eventually", and I've felt quite a bit better ever since, even though nothing has materially changed yet. Which gives me the thought: it will be really funny if I can make my brain maintain this state while never actually quitting

this is gonna be fun no matter what because even at its lousiest, True Detective has always been an excellent vehicle for its lead actors

I'm losing my fucking mind, how is this a real quote

buying Fuser on this god-forsaken storefront just to save ten bucks is the worst gaming purchase decision I've ever made

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

if it's late and I feel like I haven't done a mitzvah yet, I launch Nightreign and do deep of night runs on my low-level profile until I run into Balancers or Libra and try to get folks a win

I have a steam frame now and it's cool, it unfortunately also needs some more time in the oven before it starts behaving well with Bazzite

the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)

i got so many people calling this tweet fakeposting back when i made it but since this is bluesky and things have less reach on here im just going to post the photo

Probably the coolest thing he's done next to being a potential Bomberman fan

man I just need a less stressful job. Midnite Spaghetty making an appearance on gnome's birthday stream (it was a good one, go watch the vod and retroactively wish him a happy birthday twitch.tv/gnomebitten) reminded me of what I can do when I don't need to spend most of my free time decompressing

since 2021, I've had one period of about 10 months where my work situation was stress-free. In that time, I made a chiptune soundtrack *and* wrote a blog post about it. It wasn't even that long ago, and yet the idea of doing it again right now is unfathomable tactfulogre.bandcamp.com/album/projec...

screaming "trans rights free Palestine fuck all recruiters tricking the young gambling is a blight and i think we will look back at it the same way we do cigarettes now" at the start of every stream to give everyone an ad-free experience

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

last night I dreamt I was humming the bass riff to Tool Schism, which isn't very interesting until you consider A) it's actually kinda hard to do correctly, B) it's been months since I last remembered a dream I had, C) I don't even listen to Tool
