Eye Candy 2: Idyllic (2023, PC, Half-Life 2 Mod) This was suggested to me by @a-shift.bsky.social recently and I'm glad I checked it out because it's extremely cute! You spend a day with your houndeye pups (pictured here wearing little coats and boots) and do chores, including watering your plants.

increased the amount of rolling stock that can be hauled by each train from 20 to 50 cars :)

Hey, you all should play Penguin Colony. Not just because it's a game where you play as Penguins in Antarctica, or that the hype being pretty well founded, or it's neck-deep in interrogating Lovecraft and it has Nazis go completely mad, although absolutely all those things.

It's kind of game I don't feel book-smart or .. I dunno, the right creative background or something... enough to design, but would absolutely love to be part of the making. Something about the vibes, they're excellent.

Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like - creating sincere art from playful naivete - balancing passion and health - how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers - regrets from my 1st commercial codebase

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

People get all up in it about SkiFree because obvious the snowman, but Jezzball was an all-timer and so was Fuji Golf and Chips Challenge. Truly this was an Era (tm)

#Nscale news: the Rapido Budd gallery cars are here! These are easily the nicest Chicago commuter cars ever produced in N scale. My BN three-car set is pushed here by an old BLI CB&Q E7, because I haven't installed DCC in my BN E8 yet.

Pre-order surprise arrival! These gallery cars are so gorgeous, Rapido just keeps killing it with their N Scale releases, cannot wait to get my Caltrain Bombardier cars! (And hope they eventually do a Caltrain gallery car too!)

Was absolutely packed on he day - surprisingly so, and not a lot of room to manoeuvre for photography - but I got some stuff I'd say I'm happy with, plus some other potential reference stuff.

Okay with Pillowfort officially end-of-life, can I talk about the actual problem with Mastodon and Linux and switching to them - their strongest soldiers, their gospel-preachers, their true-believers, are the ABSOLUTE worst-suited candidates for job.

You throw in the confuse-opoly of getting started with either (which distro is right for you/ which instance gels with you most and won't be under before you have a foothold) and You Have an On-boarding Comms Problem and It Is Them. And I say this with some previous experience using BOTH.

--talking down AT everyone they could and ,when asked about going forward with switching to their god-ordained platform, telling off the curious for their hubris,pointing them at Google and telling them to figure it out themselves Like, it's good to see that 90s/00s Linux Zealotry never died /sarc

Like, are there nice people who work with Linux? Statistics say there have to be. Are there good people on Mastodon? Almost certainly, I know a few. But GOD DAMN the people preaching The Word straight up have pushed me back 6-12 months from considering either again, purely on insufferability.

So a couple of weeks ago, I really was on a tipping point for both- the realisation that after the post-EoL extended support expires on Win10 meant I'd have to eventually move my shit -somewhere-and 11 was NOT going to be it, AND the most recent round of Bsky moderation anti-trans oopsidoodles¹

at that exact moment in time I stumbled upon like three different conversations that ended up in the Masto/Unix acolyte proudly displaying their belligerence and contempt for literally everyone not using their preferred software/webservice - the exact same attitude for both the Fediverse and Unix--
