The catarrhine who invented a perpetual motion machine, by dreaming at night and devouring its own dreams through the day.
I feel like I’ve been using this metaphor a bit too often, but: Nintendo is shitting its pants to make Pocketpair (PalWorld dev) smell. So far, the results of the litigation have been slightly bad for Pocketpair, but really bad for Nintendo - just the sheer amount of negative publicity is likely costing Nintendo more money than it could ever get from this turf war.
69%? N… … …nevermind. 🫢
Serious now, I wouldn’t be surprised if USA’s video game industry was suddenly gone - because for countries not directly caught in the tariffs war, businesses outside USA (like Sony and Nintendo) will get another competitive advantage.
I hope you and your loved ones stay safe and well.
Ditto. Either to share something cool I believe she’ll like to see, or for practical info like “I won’t be at time for lunch, there’s stew in the freezer”.
Bajo Canadá sounds hilarious!

…just call it Canadian Aztlan, to rub off the nationalists really bad. Done.
Parasaurolophi are freedom-seeking dinosaurs! They’d use Phrygian caps!! Down with tyrants, kings, and Tyranosaurus rex!!!
Slices of sourdough, thinly coated with butter, “fried” on both sides until golden brown. I typically have them with homemade pâte, guava cheese, or some random jam. Or sometimes I spread olive oil and a pinch of salt while still in the skillet, it depends on my mood.
Probably #5: grumpy, clownish. (Peckish too.)
If anything, printers today are worse than they used to be in the 90s. For example, I don’t remember chips preventing you from using third party ink being a thing back then. So I believe the printing industry mafia has been spending those decades adding antifeatures to their designs.
And IMO it highlights how much we [society in general] need open hardware.
Thank you! This sort of graph is actually easy to do in Inkscape:
I did it on the spot, no credit needed. If I knew people wanted it I would’ve saved the .svg.
I used to. But eventually I made peace with myself - no matter how much I fret over them, there are things I’ll never know or experience.
I probably need to thank Huxley for that, if not for Island I’d be probably stuck living in the past or the future. Or both at the same time.
For me it’s both, I guess?
Before the bullshit threshold I’m calmly reading what the liberal says, and calmly explaining stuff like:
But as the liberal keeps babbling, and enters the bullshit threshold, my attitude suddenly flips to something like “aaaah, cut off the crap! I already explained this, dammit. Do you need to be spoonfed basic [reading comprehension | reasoning]???”
I don’t typically use the word “bootlicker” in English, but in Portuguese I do use “pelego” (kind of the same thing) a fair bit.
The Minecraft modding scene was always insane.
Forge in special has always been a hotbed for drama, since inception - Eloraam (RedPower) and FlowerChild (Better than Wolves) were both founding members, they started fighting because Eloraam was copying BTW features, FC left, booom. Eventually Eloraam and Spacetoad left, and LexManos - not a founding member, but someone invited into Forge by Eloraam - became the head developer, and he makes Arthmoor look nice in comparison.
In addition to that:
A proletariat that keeps disempowering itself is a proletariat unable to fight in an eventual revolution. And fascism is all about disempowering the masses.
So sometimes you need to bite into the sour apple and vote, even if this means voting in an absolute clown against someone who’s a clown and a fascist, and in the process playing along a system that is utterly corrupt and made to enforce the elites are kept in place.
My sleep cycle is currently a mess, but when it’s well-oiled I typically take a 20min nap after lunch every day.
Still more civilised than the Minecraft modding scene! *cough Forge drama cough cough*
I’m not into Bethesda games so saying this based on the article: Arthmoor sounds like a piece of shit. It’s fine if you have a “vision” for the game, and your mod is about that vision, but you shouldn’t pretend that your vision is something else, like simple bug-fixing patches.
My sister and me spent a day in São Paulo city, visiting our 80yo aunt. She’s in good health, and was extra happy to see us - and with the gift (a crochet purse, made by our mum).
Speaking on my mum, she has been coughing for a week or so, after she got a cold. Her cough is improving but I’m still worried about it, I told her to see a doc but she’s damn stubborn.
Kika and Siegfrieda (my cats) are keeping up with their annoying but cute routine, I guess: one has 3AM zoomies, another meows loudly and “shows” us every single problem she has, as if we were able to stop raining or the neighbour’s baby from crying.
It’s pinhão season! It’s pinhão season!
I’m eating my quota of pinhão this winter! I wish I could plant a Paraná pine home, but I don’t have enough space for that (those trees get huge). Because of that I’m making do with my future apple bonsai, pepper plants and stuff like this. When I get Rich® I’ll make sure to buy a small house with a big garden and plant a bunch of those.
Yesterday I prepared some baked rice with hot dogs, it was glorious. Specially the provolone and Parmesan crust. (I’m calling it baked “rice” but there was almost no rice there, in comparison with the vegs and sausages.)
So far, none. Except I’ll be probably in the cooking duty Sunday - it’s mothers’ day, my nephew and BIL won’t do shit to help out, and I don’t want my mum or my sister to lift a finger then.
