I like to challenge the inhabitants of this sleepy little village sometimes... today by the contrast in my attire.

Let's merge the code bases of sharkey and mastodon and call it megalodon.

Why post HackerNews links when one can just link the original URL?

Some days, I just want to be alone in the woods, full stop.

@coffeepine I think that answers how much pine a pine wood would chuck if a pine would wood chuck wood.

K2 (to me): you're a stupid fart man!

Me (to my wife): did you hear what he just called me?

My wife: did you really fart?

...

So that is the thing she questions, eh?

(We were all three of us laughing the entire time.)

In this house, father's day doesn't mean getting drunk with friends. It means spending time with the kids. You know, embracing the dad life.

OK, I did get some presents and a nice brunch.

@jens getting drunk with the kids isn't an option? 😆

You've heard about the man vs. bear thing. Now for the ultimate poll:

Would you rather be trapped in an outhouse in the woods with...

This relates to the ongoing mystery of whether a bear shits in the woods. There's only one way to know...

I'm gonna half to assume that those folk choosing Rowling here are also lactose intolerant and have packed copious cheese supplies. Otherwise it'd confuse me.

The kids weren't so interested in anything Star Wars that wasn't also Lego before, so I'm watching Caravan of Courage with them. That seems to work!

I've been catching up with some games I buy for the kids, and recently played Planet of Lana and Gris on the switch. Both show an interesting trend, in that they're very beautiful games, but strangely empty.

I notice this in particular with the first, because it reminds me a lot in how the character steers of @jmechner 's Prince of Persia, or Flashback. And compared to either of these games, there is very little going on in each screen in terms of obstacles or puzzles.

And then there are...

Theriac,

@jens
I think you might like it - it's an rpg but in the same vein as the games you described part art, part experience.

jens,
@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de avatar

@Theriac Hmm. I do also like the crunchiness of the older games, though.

I'll check it out, thank you!

Not so long ago, I finished parking about 900 computing related papers, books and magazines in my paperless instance. I felt like I'd finally finished the annoying work of fixing titles and tagging stuff.

Then I remembered the ca. 400 RPG related PDFs.

So I finally finished reading The Expanse with book 9. It took me a while, as I'm generally not reading as much as I'd like to these days.

Anyway, I think it was a good end to the series. Really good, actually.

geekischade,
@geekischade@mastodon.xyz avatar

@jens I just re-read the series. Good stuff.

If you're looking for a lightweight space gaming system, you could check out Stars Without Number: Revised Edition. The full rules are free on drivethrurpg. I never played Traveler, but others have described it as Traveler without baggage.

jens,
@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de avatar

@geekischade I'm not really looking for systems, except that I'm always looking for systems. I've bought more systems than I've played, because it's an area of interest to me from a game design point of view.

Realistically, I'd probably play Traveller, GURPS or possibly Space Master (this one mostly because I know RM rather well).

Funny, I visited this place a lot over the years, but this is the first time I noticed this.

Yeah, we had our own insurrection attempt. Luckily, it didn't amount to much. The trials started today.

@jens So ... a morning?

@qqmrichter yeah, but this one particularly.
