You wake up. The cool wood of the bench pressed against one side of your face, the sunlight filtering through the trees warming the other side. Slowly you rise to your feet with no memory of where you were before your slumber.

THE PATH

You are standing on a dirt path next to a wooden bench. The air is cool beneath the shade of the trees.

The path continues to the north leading out of the forest. To the south it falls away, revealing the blue expanse of sea stretching to the horizon.

@mforester

The sun reflecting off the water hurts your eyes. You hold your hand up to look at the shimmering waves through your fingers.

As you look harder, the forest seems to melt away. You can almost feel the spray from the waves. Suddenly a whale breaches the water.

The moment passes and you're once again stood on the path in the forest.

I know the franchise has had its ups and downs, but I can't help but enjoy Jack Sparrow's first appearance.

Sometimes when I see these stories by authors promoting some new social system which -just-works- because characters behave responsibly, I'm reminded of my idea for unguarded community sheds where people could just drop off "garage junk" and pick up stuff they need. Sounds like it could save a lot of resources. But in reality it'd only take sporadic outbursts of drunk teenagers and a single organized drive-by looting gang to ruin the whole thing on a national level.

@androidarts ... And then bought another box the next time they needed 4 because they forgot they bought the first box.

I'm guessing 😶

Took the opportunity to try and give MiniStrasse an astronomy lesson but think I might have lost them when I blurted out "... And the Moon is in charge of the sea!!"

To be fair, I was also trying to illustrate it with 2 glasses and a bit of rogue sweetcorn.

Although I wasn't so taken the The Lamplighters League, it did get one thing right: Having the ability to realtime move when you're not in combat. Currently playing Metal Gear Acid and turn-based running through an area that you've cleared of enemies is duuuuuullllll

Anybody have experience with old Chromebooks? I got my hands on a really nice, albeit ancient one (I'm typing on it right now) and it has great battery life, a beautiful screen, and a Chrome application that stopped being able to update years ago.

Thinking about maybe trying to install Gallium on it, it's a linux distro built for this specific use case... but I don't know anybody who's tried it and I want to pick their brains.

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@DrakkenZero I have Gallium on my Chromebook. It still works pretty well, but also there's no more support for it, so maybe there are better options or there?

I basically had one that was coming to end of life, so gave it a go. It's still pretty much my everyday browsing and random stuff laptop.

Never forget that George A Romero directed a live action Resident Evil 2 commercial and penned a Resident Evil film script... In a parallel universe I'm watching it right now! 🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️ https://youtu.be/PcDjo_uKeF4

@foxysen I guess the Police station looks a little more utilitarian, kinda like the way it looked in 1.5... not the elaborate ornate building that we ended up with
