It's not much but I'm off the floor

I would love* it if we started discovering hundreds of rocky earth-like exoplanets with our fancy space telescopes but every single one was 450C due to a run away greenhouse effect

Trying to avoid this year but when the didgeridoo came out on stage I was so proud of our entry ๐Ÿฆ˜

@madcodger Eurovision is more alchemy than science. We're just happy to be there and part of the party.

I can tell if my local football team wins or loses by how long it takes for the match report email to arrive. A victory I get an email in my inbox on the weekend, a loss and it trickles in mid-week. I love that

This is definitely nowhere near an actual design yet, but for some reason I'm trying to think about how to attach a scoring system to a game about assembling charcuterie boards. ๐ŸŽฒโœ‚๏ธ

How close are we to replacing power sockets with univeral power/data cables? So, for example, your fridge plugs into the wall using USB-C.

@ClutchAbuse nooo my dreams are melting away like a USB wire carrying too much current

Sure we can do an Australia culture day. We've got goon of fortune, nangs and fairy bread. Oh you want more? Hmm, I can put on some episodes of bluey and I guess we can eat some chicken salt

There is no heat for Furiosa. Mad Max films always just seem to come out of nowhere but this one has zero hype! Maybe that's a good sign

Finally got to join an obscure fandom forum that is the direct descendant of a usenet group that is the direct descendant of a 1980s fanzine.

It took six months for my signup to be approved and it involved two rounds of questions and an email interview. That's how you know it's the good stuff.

The community internet is better than ever. It's the corporate internet that is falling apart.

The tech debt from AI generated code is tremendous. No consistency in pattern use, strange tangents, often a mismatch in code comments to code, and the coder has less understanding of what they are using. Major security issues. On one hand this is a problem, on the other I can see a future where it is easier to throw out the entire thing and start again. Maybe even generate the project anew each time someone wants to use it based on their preferences so it's an interesting time for sure

I know itโ€™s too early for 2010s nostalgia.

Butโ€ฆ BUT! That decade had some catchy music especially in the vaporwave and future funk vicinity.

Hereโ€™s a case in point.

@purserj I found him unexpectedly on display at the Royal Mint in Canberra a few years ago and definitely got overly happy with seeing Gus the Snail who I realised I have largely based my entire personality on

I love Lua so much. Added a quest/event system for my game that lets me drop Lua script files in a folder and they become available in the game automatically. Also makes the game super modder friendly.

"Lunar lander" is a genre of video games where you have to land a fragile module using controlled bursts of your thrusters.

What's weird about it is that it might be only genre of games based on a single specific thing -- the Apollo Lunar Lander programme.

I can't think of any other genre like that. "FPS games", "RTS games", etc don't have that direct historical link.

Maybe "bridge crew" games which are all Star Trek The Original Series derived.

Swords really were the fancy cars of 3000 years ago. You just know every young guy was going into hock to get something ostentatious they probably never needed or could comfortably afford.

Oh no a streamer played Liberation and it bugged out on them :(.

It's a terrible feeling watching someone have a bad time

Try the ionised broiled lobster at Thantis Holiday Port. Read all about the deadly ionised broiled lobster food poisoning outbreak. All this and more in the latest update.
