something that most weebs don't realize is that, given how cats behave, catgirls would all be autistic as fuck. every catgirl would have a special interest and won't stop talking about it. oh, you just got isekaied and you wanna date a catgirl? get ready for 4-hour-long infodumps on the uses of this one specific breed of manafruit in potion making

@astrid the savory manafruit, because cats cant taste sweet things.

Well, I have illumos going on an emulated single core Intel Core 2 Duo, simply because it hangs if there's more than one processor.

I've also got some really fascinating error messages along the way.

@ncommander core 2 duo solo

just asked @hexylena "do you have a [preferred] void provider" and while i meant "voip" as in "voice chat", that is also a legitimate question to ask

I woke up incredible stiff, and incredible pain. It's better now that I've actually managed to take a shower, eat, and set the crock pot for tonight, but I don't think I'm leaving the couch today ...

@ncommander got any heat packs? those can help out lots.

elena,
@elena@restless.systems avatar

@ncommander i personally like the gel ones that can be either frozen to make a cold pack or microwaved to get a hot pack. failing that, you can always just microwave a damp hand towel for a little bit, which is better than nothing.

you've heard of cities skylines, now get ready for cities waterlines! your garbage car-centric planning has now caused sea levels to rise, threatening to submerge your city by the year 2050! can you save Lego City before it's swallowed by Poseidon?

@astrid no but i can finally throw all of these used car batteries into the ocean now that it's close by

Its a pity Dwarf Fortress for steam doesn't have a mac port :/

elena,
@elena@restless.systems avatar

@ncommander fwiw you can run steam on apple's game porting toolkit and then run and install any windows version of a steam game and it works pretty decently IME

@ncommander https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=game%20porting%20toolkit

this documents pretty much everything you have to do to get things running properly in a step-by-step guide https://github.com/domschl/WinSteamOnMac

decided to print off a quick and dirty nonfunctional/mockup case from the open-source CAD files because I'm excited about the project and want to show my support (disability-tier income means I definitely can't afford to buy one myself, but i really want to see it and its creators flourish!)

i was just in a phone call where i felt myself get a screen-spanning health bar underneath my name with how silent followed by audible nervousness the other end got.

"okay so i know you can't autofill this medication, but lemme pitch something very cursed to you as a hypothetical question: can i queue it immediately after i get it filled so in 30 days it gets filled for me"
[silence so loud that you can hear the dust falling in the room]
"uhhhhhhhhh [nervous laughter] i... i... i don't know... uh... maybe... hey have you tried contacting other pharmacies"

... here's another one, when was the last time you actually shut down your computer before going to sleep?

elena,
@elena@restless.systems avatar

@ncommander idk, sometime in the 1990s i think, unless you count shutting it down the night before i'm set out to move in the morning. sleeping in a quiet bedroom is very difficult

Does anyone remember the last time they had a conversation on a train or bus?

I was on the train earlier today. I've recently been taking steps to drastically reduce my phone/Internet time, and I was just taken how literally everyone I could see was looking at their phone or had AirPods blasting.

Unsettling doesn't even describe the experience ...
