Feel free to recommend me indie RPG stuff! I’m interested in kid friendly (7+, 10+), beginner friendly, thematically not traditional (not d&d), lightweight systems

I’m looking at indie RPG stuff at the moment. Some lovely creations. Such as this card deck of random dungeon rooms. Beautifully illustrated: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1829873279/the-deck-of-many-rooms?ref=share_v4_lx

@broonie I hadn’t noticed Bandcamp doing that. It’s mostly different bits of O360 or things like discord or WhatsApp or slack etc that I forget to individually mute. I wonder if I could configure them by exception actually

Is anyone innovating in the spreadsheets space?

Today sucked

@fred I got into it late, when the switch port happened. I’d bounced off it a few years earlier.

The most effective way I've found to work on a neovim plugin is (unfortunately) load it into every neovim session you run, hit the bugs yourself directly, corrupt your actual data, and fix as you go.

New blog post: iPad Mini (2013)
https://jmtd.net/log/ipad_mini/
In or around 2014 I bought an iPad Mini (2), and following the normal
lifecycle of iOS devices, a major OS update eventually killed it as
a useful, general-purpose device: operating it was just too sluggish.
It remained useful as a streaming media player for a little while

@kittylyst @jezhiggins the very same

@sxa I've been meaning to trial Immich for ages

@sxa in recent years, in Apple's cloud. There's a ~5 year period where I tried to sync to Google, and they're still there; older, I have ~138G sitting on my NAS. So a tremendous amount of de-duplicating is necessary.
