Tonight I ate Japanese-style curry for the first time since… April? Which means I now know exactly how this image feels.

@wxcafe It doesn't fit the bill yet at least, but I've been slowly writing my own self-hosted Pinboard alternative. Read-it-later is planned but not yet implemented, and iOS isn't on my personal roadmap, but the software as a whole might be a starting point? The source is here https://git.infinitenegativeutility.com/getty/lament-configuration and my own running instance is here https://remember.when.computer/u/gdritter

When prurient "fan-service" elements are at odds with the putative plot of a work, we call that Lewd-o-narrative Dissonance.

…a tare in the fabric of spacetime.

I've been excited for Ooblets for years, since "Harvest Moon but you farm Pokémon that have dance battles," sounds close to my ideal game. Now that I've played it: I wish it were about 50% less twee. Having a tab for "Frenz" in my "Grumboire" is… maybe a bit excessive.

I like it when Mastodon informs me of what the popular happenings of the day are.

A game like Brütal Legend, but instead of being heavy metal, it's an Italo-Disco version of Tolkien's stories. You could call it: Shadow Of Moroder.

Second thought: the game's attempts at "hacker dialogue" are deeply embarrassing, but I'm still undecided on whether that's because they're inaccurate, or because they're an authentic depiction of people who work internet memes into daily conversation.

I picked up the game Watch Dogs 2 for cheap recently. First thought: the total omission of Berkeley in the game's theme-park-ified version of the Bay Area seems weirder than the omission of, say, Redwood City or Outer Richmond. (OTOH, I might just feel this way because I once lived in Berkeley.)

…the biggest problem with this video is that I regularly forget one of the names I came up with and alternate between two variants of it depending on whether or not I'm actively looking at how I wrote it. I did not realize this at all while making the video.

Over the weekend, I recorded myself playing a session of 'Ex Novo', a one-to-four-player tabletop game about creating a city's map and history! It was a fun experiment and I'm pretty happy with how it came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t_sl3dKf3o

If you make hobbyist Italian cheese instead of professional Italian cheese, then you've made Amateurvolone.

Some of the most persistent merchants are French vendors of Himalayan salt blocks. They're always giving you the hard sel.

I put the "simp" in "asimptomatic carrier"

I've had a moderate amount of art block since this weekend. Starting Sunday, every evening, I've opened Blender or Pyxel or both, moved some boxes around idly for 20 minutes, and closed them. Part of this is work-stress and world-anxiety, but also I think I just need some kind of brain shake-up.

"Oh, yeah, I think my eventual ideal living situation is basically 'Polycule Crossing'."
