this is really verging on ttrpg vs. why did you not make this a computer game territory because there is no way i would calculate this by hand in the 70s
The thread is now so long it is increasingly breaking Mastodon, so I am making a new thread, starting here.
To recap, here's the entirety of the year-one thread in the most impractical possible format: A YouTube playlist containing 246 songs and running for just over 47 hours:
What I'm listening to today: "Stay Crunchy", Ronald Jenkees
In this video a man in a little hat yells "Hello YouTubes" and slams directly into performing an absolutely mindblowing four-minute solo, on a MIDI electric piano VST over FruityLoops beats. (FLStudio/FruityLoops, is IMO, underrated as a serious production music tool.) Ronald, the musician, was an early vlogger who had a whole thing going on and this was the track of his that went most widely viral. It slaps
What I'm listening to today: "Funky Stars", Quazar
This is a poppy eurodance DOS tracker tune from 1997. Feels good, slick production, moody 80s/early 90s feel.
After 2000 the artist behind this .xm went on to have a conventional career as a producer, making club techno remixes for a bunch of hip hop artists plus Madonna under the name "Axwell", then cofounding Swedish House Mafia ("Don't You Worry Child").
This track is listed on some mod archives as "Hybrid Song".
I’ve had a lot of questions about Reddit’s planned AMA today and “What if they…”, so I added a section to the bottom of my post to answer that and thought I’d share it here too.
I've been told people on this website enjoy me trying to think through computer problems out loud while in incredible pain, so good news: I'm taking my new Thinkpad T14 (https://mastodon.social/@mcc/111218408629532857) out of the box and I'm going to install Linux on it first thing. So expect a LOT of complaining.
Oh… right after posting this I tried to alt-tab, accidentally entered win-tab, and win-tab caused the weather widget I don't want to blossom into a picture of Donald Trump. I guess, somehow, a dedicated button for showing you a picture of Donald Trump is something I should expect of Windows by now.
You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!
@RickiTarr Yeah I like tech and spent a whole career with the military. Sure, I like big weapons ok but most "male" associated traits in our society seem pretty negative to me. Yet my best friends are male. Some of whom are gay. Gay Marines. It's a conundrum. 😂
the circus that currently performs in finnish government is getting so out of hands that im just waiting for the day it just implodes in on it self like couple billionaires in a submarine.
Biggest scandal this week in #Finland isn’t really about the nazis or their actions, hate campaigns, conspiracy theories or accusations towards international press being a part of putinist propaganda machine.
It is “is it okay to call a nazi accomplish or a nazi with mean names and overall use harsh language when opposing fascism.”-scandal.
On pédale ici sur un faux plat montant, tantôt sur l’herbe, tantôt sur de la terre compactée. La pluie arrivant nous incite à ne pas y prendre de pause.
Arrivé au sommet 7 heures après avoir commencé, c’est un soulagement et c’est à peine si il me reste de l’énergie pour marcher ou parler avec toutes les personnes autour.
L’experience est très différente du col ak baital au pamir. Celui-ci donnait la sensation de vivre une aventure, seul perdu dans de grands espaces. Ici, il s’agit plutôt d’une montée brutale, non pas pour les jambes mais les poumons. Cela apprend à mieux connaître son corps et comment il réagit face à la montée en altitude.
Enfin arrivé au lac, celui-ci me déclenche une émotion par sa beauté, comme peu de paysages peuvent le procurer.
Il est bien plus joli que je le pensais, et les photos ne parviennent pas à lui rendre justice.
