@RxBrad I woke up last week with a violent physical jump after Hulk Hogan suplexed me in a dream. No drugs, just grew up in the 80s and he's there floating in my psyche.
MLB is so funny. I pay a decent chunk of change for a Flex plan for Orioles tickets (live). I pay for MLB TV. They blackout the games because I'm local and they want me paying for cable. I pay for a VPN to get around it. But MLB still has one game a day exclusive on Apple TV. I don't need that, so I'll just watch a pirate stream.
The money I'm paying to get around this bullshit id happily pay directly to them, bypassing all this middle man shit.
@jimniels@tylergaw Sort of similar. I've actually archived all my design screenshots since 2008 or so and made them searchable. Even the bad and broken stuff.
Somehow I'm enjoying Remnant II despite always bouncing off of other Soulslike games. I think the immediacy of hitscan guns does it for me. I'm always too impatient in the slow, heavy combat of Dark Souls.
I also like that most of its game mechanics aren't obscured by lore. I'm OK with clicking "make my game public" rather than needing some weirdly named item only a wiki would explain.
@Novyx Yeah, been playing with headphones. The sound design is suuuuper well done. Can always tell which side the enemy is on. Just beat that weird maze boss. Super fun game.
today marks my 8️⃣ year anniversary at #elastic. and it’s also a new start, since it’s my first day in SF to put us better on the map here — view from the office
PS: not an april fool‘s post 😅
When will we see the first successful nostalgia act on the web? We're around 30-years of Internet culture at this point. The early years had a small audience, but each year that passes there will be more people that remember "the good Internet".
At some point an old brand / personality will be able to do a "come back tour" the same as Guns and Roses and capitalize on people's fond memories.
🤔 CSS has been on my mind a lot lately (it’s a strange world), and seeing Carlton’s mention of the caniuse.com website/resource reminds me of how weird CSS standards are compared to everything else.
This makes me appreciate that when a new Python is released, we know what features we are getting based on a version number that runs everywhere instead of waiting for a half dozen browsers and platforms to get around to it and possibly catch up. https://fosstodon.org/@carlton/112048170845906865
@webology Oh I was on GeoCities (and tripod and angelfire!) then too, but CSS wasn't too common yet.
I'm just happy to see progress and movement from the CSS standards community. They are finally realizing vanilla wasn't enough, and adding in features we all were using from tool-kits.
My eight year son has unsurprisingly gotten really into Halo since I introduced it to him.
Does anyone know if the novels are any good? He burned through the entire Percy Jackson series in two months so I need to find something to keep him reading. Otherwise I was thinking of getting him into Redwall.
