@JoshuaACNewman @mcc I have a PO-33, a Korg Monotron Delay and a Kastle v1 doing nothing. I have/had fantasies of designing and 3d-printing an itty-bitty eurorack-style enclosure/stand to house them, and to aid in hacking on them: common power input, expose more controls off the PCBs, etc.; in my head this started to resemble something from Ghost in the Shell
  @mcc periodic reminder (to me) to dig out my Kastle (v1) and have some fun

  @david_chisnall @GoblinQuester @jenesuispasgoth @futurebird “the lathe of heaven” is fantastic. “The left hand of darkness” is good, too.
  Randomly remembering wetrix, an underrated puzzle game from the n64 era. There was a sequel but I’ve never played that.
  My toolbox is overflowing, not with tools, but with screws, nails, nuts, rawl plugs, etc.: where do you keep those things? How do you organise them?
  Just git bisecting my thesis. Totally normal.
I can't wait to be done with LaTeX's glossaries package.
Hello #PortfolioDay
I'm a painter and game-developer. My dream is to make a gallery show and complete my first indie game. In the meantime, illustration is how I pay the bills.
If you want world-building illustrations or design sketches for games, tabletop RPGs, I can help bring your world to life. 🫡
 
 
 
 
  @hyperreal I’ve not played it but I was struck by how similar it looked to No Man’s Sky. I expect the similarity is mostly surface level but the optics of that (billion dollar studio ripping off beloved indie) put me off it at launch time.
  @jwz not on your list, but  “allow signal to [insert thing here]” -> No -> “we’ll ask you again later” is still a thing.
  @stilgherrian web forms not accepting ‘+’ is still a problem even today. Worse, companies whose sites accept it one day and reject it later on (after you’ve signed up)
  @algernon there is such a list, apparently. John Gruber blogged recently whinging about being on it
  I continue to believe that Bitwarden's recent UI changes are objectively worse and I'm still grumpy about it.
  @metacosm I should add that I was off sick for a long time last year, and my team-mates clubbed together and got me a voucher which paid for the Korg Minilogue XD. My team is awesome. IBM are lucky to be getting us.
  @metacosm oh that's cool. The smaller one, the microfreak, was on my shortlist (https://jmtd.net/log/synths/microfreak/) — I might still pick it up one day, as it can be used portably with a powerbank
  @revk Oh! I didn't notice (and I can't see the tag right now, in my client) — tagging is, I think, sufficient, so thank you.
