Good job. I know it took me quite a few tries before I even reached yog. It wasn’t until about playthrough #85 I reached the amulet and decided to ascend as well.
played a few games of "For Sale" on BGA. I have no idea what I'm doing in the first stage, but I'm actually doing really well anyway since apparently I'm good at the second stage and a lot of people are miserable at it. Elo is near 300 after a handful of games, but it hasn't stabilized yet. Seems like it'd be fun in person. #boardgames
I've finished Hayao Miyazaki, but there's still some Ghibli left, so let's pretend my dissertation or my thesis or whatever it's called en anglais doesn't exist, it's --
For the #PublicDomain, time stopped in 1998, when the #SonnyBonoCopyrightAct froze copyright expirations for 20 years. In 2019, time started again, with a massive crop of works from 1923 returning to the public domain, free for all to use and adapt:

Richie Perry is a seventeen year old black kid from Harlem. With few other options and a younger brother relying on him, he joins the army and gets shipped out to fight in Vietnam. An unglorified story of his experiences with fear, loss of comrades and killing another human. Challenged in Ohio for obscene language. 5/5

Alexander Hamilton writing in The Federalist Papers #85.
"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, [possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits] —
despotic in his ordinary demeanor —
known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty —
when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity —
to join in the cry of danger to liberty —
to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion —
to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day —
It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’"
Hamilton was clearly referring to men like Trump. And yet, Mike Johnson described his brief ascent in the last week as "riding a whirlwind."
Kudos to Apple. Within 24 hours of opening a support ticket via iMessage while I was still in Mexico, a replacement iPhone was delivered to my house.
Only downside is that a new bug in the public betas will result in a "Re-Enroll Failed" error message every time you try to initiate a direct transfer from a phone on the public beta, which is super neat and evidence #85,000 where Apple's neat software hamstrings its unparalleled customer service operation.
Recently I’ve been having some issues with framerate with D2R, dropping down to low 20s. I installed the Nouveau driver, purged all the Nvidia drivers, and then installed the new 535 driver and after some tinkering, D2R seems to be running in the 70ish range for the most part which is a huge improvement. Now, however, I seem...
Katsu Somehira's Harta #91 cover is this subreddit's top post of all time so far, so it's time I brought another one. This isn't June 2022's, but June 2021's. Flying around in the wind is nice, but I'd be at least a little worried about the debris that hurricane would kick up in that garden.
First win and ascent (lemmy.world)
