I've finally gotten into playing . I wasn't expecting so much of the game to be sitting around patently waiting in picturesque landscapes watching the sunlight shine down through gaps in the clouds over varied lush ecosystems.

My character similarly crouching down, but this time on a lush grassy hill under a tree. Directly ahead is another stream with trees, but in the background are stony hills with a big statue of a greek god pointing down at some ruins.
My character again crouched on a hill, this time his is in the shadow of some clouds and all the trees are pine trees. Across a ravine, a train makes its way to a station where is will slow briefly. There are three green skulls behind my character, indicating that I have three double jumps stored up, which is a think they are doing this season.

Why the fuck are there like 3 renditions of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but nobody's done Restaurant at the End of the Universe?

@cosmicallyf Maybe if the latest movie adaptation was directed better and the actors enunciated more clearly we would have gotten a sequel.

I love how the senate minority leader's sister-in-law died while operating a product from the country's richest man, but all the public details about what happened are locked behind a Wallstreet Journal paywall.

Is there any minecrafters on here? I have a question, why is my village spawning SO many iron golems?

These aren't all of them, just the ones at this part of the village.

@Jeff I have no idea, but that is pretty amazing! I'm guessing that is Java?

CNN speaks to settlers in Israel who are blocking food from getting to Palestinians in Gaza. Even confronted with the fact that children are starving to death in Gaza, they say "not one loaf of bread should get in until we have our hostages"

Little children, babies are starving to death and they do not give a fuck

@Mary625 I just don't understand what they think the hostages will be eating if they block all the food.

Twice recently I've tried printing something by just selecting the printer and pressing print and it actually just printed the thing. Feels like some sort of magic.

Oh, so you like punk rock? Then what band is this?

@soonleenz Obviously, you must be referring to Agent Orange, since JFK oversaw the start of the war in Vietnam.

Leaves are starting to emerge so they can protect all the and from the summer sun. Might be a bit premature though, considering the forecast for this entire next week shows a chance for snow in .

One branch with many sprouting leaves along with moss and lichen.

I love how announced that competitive play has become more popular, but then give the credit to every change they've made to the game other than reworking the competitive rank system and actually showing players feedback after every game instead of hiding rank changes for up to 19 games for absolutely no reason at all.

I love when musical artists stick the landing with their album and the last track is one of the best. Every single song on 's first album (out of only two, alas) is a relentlessly joyful cacophony, but the final one is just especially beautiful.

Do you think it would’ve been possible to write this headline to be any more condescending and dismissive without becoming a meme?

“Scientists are freaking out” like they just made turtles into pizza-eating-ninjas and aren’t announcing the collapse of human civilization

mikemccaffrey,
@mikemccaffrey@mastodon.social avatar

@ryanhoulihan I can't believe I am about to defend the NY Times or its headline writers, but in this case it seems accurate. The subtext is that everyone else should be freaking out as well, but they are not.

What series of bad decisions ended up with syndicating articles on how to play (and it showing up as the featured result in a google search)?

What if when making a "fear monster" for you fantasy or sci fi story you didn't base it on a spider, snake, insect, or a slug?

So many creepy things in nature, I'm sick of spider monsters with "glossy chitinous legs" snake-like monsters that "slither sinisterly."

Cut it out.

Base your scary creature on a chinchilla, a capybara, an orchid, a dove, a human.

Leave the arthropods, snakes and invertebrates out of it.

Or if you MUST do an insect do butterflies. THEY can't be trusted.

@futurebird Have you watched Scavenger's Reign, where these are the most terrifying creatures in the alien forest?

People are always complaining about how promised flying cars, but at this point, I'd settle for the bed that helps you stand up in the morning.

The bed, now without covers, has tilted up nearly vertically, and George is about to slide down into a standing position on the conveyor belt that will bring him to the bathroom.

    @lzg And by becoming respectable adults, do you mean lead an uprising to overthrow the capitalistic/colonial system? It is on my list, but I never seem to get around to it.

    Not super excited that spent a big chunk of his first episode back at bemoaning the fact that Joe Biden is old, a problem we can literally do nothing about at this point.
