@littmath I can deal with most of this but knowing Long Island will defect from the rest of NY in the next 24 hours has me a little upset :(

Incredible: AI can predict the winner of the 2024 election. Looks like there will be a few surprises; for example, there's a good chance that Iowa will win Texas.

@Something915 ? I think that's just the theremin player

does an orchestra really need that guy with the stick telling them what to do??

@ColorGray7 The best news

@junkyard_dave What's the trigger for feasel's "never" date lol

Excuse me, I'm sorry, what? HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN? WHY DOES DEADLY TOWERS HAVE MORE RUNNERS THAN BATTLE KID?

@authorblues So terrifying. Glad you're ok.

My town got hit pretty hard by #Helene. So that's kinda my situation. No clean water or Internet for the last 3 days, but otherwise we are safe and remarkably lucky. Not everybody in my community was so fortunate.

@BreakdownSDA Big props! ❤️

So I took this picture last night. Surface level, nothing that significant. Personal level, lots of significance. That was my last cigarette. Feels premature to call myself a nonsmoker, but we're trying to do the thing. It's challenging, and I'm going to thread about that. 1/?

@Clodgsire Yep I downloaded the PNG, resized, and printed on cardstock. And sent a kofi donation since they were generous to provide for free.

Framed these 3 incredible Outer Wilds pieces by @davinciwannabe and am so happy with them. Can't wait to hang them up.

@svohen Anyone would be lucky to have one of your pieces, they're awesome!

✨COMMISSIONS OPEN✨ Only 6 spots, if you have any scene you’re interested in my DM is open so we can discuss ideas, details, costs and everything 🙌🙂‍↔️

@Hyphen_ated Thanks, I saw you've been working your way through them

@Blechyman Most are kinda punishing but nowhere near as punishing as real NES games. The ones that make you reset on death are pretty short games. (disclaimer: I haven't beaten them all but that's the strong impression I got so far from the several I have beaten)

With UFO50, how's the quality of life? Is it often NES-punishing in terms of limited continues, checkpoints, cryptic puzzles, etc?

@ersatz_cats Thank you for the thorough writeups, was great to follow along

I have finished converting my extensive notes from Day 5 of the defamation trial between disgraced cheater Billy Mitchell and gaming legend Karl Jobst. Read all about Karl's cross-examination - and if you missed it, check out the full "Day 4" as well! perfectpacman.com/2024/09/24/kar…

Howdy everyone! In Brisbane, it is early Monday morning, which means we are now mere hours away from the start of the defamation trial between disgraced cheater Billy Mitchell and absolute legend Karl Jobst. If you want to get up to speed, check this out: perfectpacman.com/2024/09/15/kar…

@DarkTwinge I wonder if there's also some confusion around if on the mouse itself, the primary click button is still on left (for a right-handed), or if it's flipped to right button

@Blechyman 40% is *huge* - I wonder how many of these folks are just using middle-finger with their primary-mousing hand too? Definitely never occurred to me that someone might use middle instead of index. (I do actually swap hands between two mice for RSI issues, but use them the same.)

If you had to start using your mouse with your opposite hand, which finger would you use for the primary click button?

@DarkTwinge Dang I see. I love me some checkpoints

@Blechyman I've only watched, but from what I've seen it's somewhere in the middle? The main punishing aspect is the semi-common use of running out of lives = full restart; the difficulty/length of _most_ of these seem okay for that to not be terrible, tho could be frustrating at times.

@Aweglib Really good to know, ty!

@Blechyman In terms of punishing, I've noticed some games can make it feel pretty rough to die/game over, but I haven't seen anything personally that would replicate something like battletoads or contra in terms of losing EVERYTHING should you run out of lives

@mikansboxx Finished the vods last night, had a great time 👌

finished legacy of the wizard in about 12 hours with no hints SUPER cool game had a great time wowow

I love that this is really just a 2 frame joke but frames 2-4 are just chatgpt getting increasingly frustrated at itself for not being able to spit out a punchline
