The factory must grow.
No.
LMAO I bought Factorio a few years ago, fully intending to play it, after multiple people said "it is right up your alley"
Your comment, and the replies are to it, have made me very happy I never got around to it. I probably would have loved/hated it. For like 5 years of my life.
Well, from there it's either streaming or finding a way into an actual factory to make money on the same headaches.

I finally watched the Good Place! It was incredible. I woke my wife up last night sobbing during the ending.
What I would give to experience the good place again for the first time.
Definitely one of the GOAT series that really doesn't miss a beat from start to finish. And such a rare piece of media in today's times that is basically pure positivity.
Yes, it was in that exact sweet spot where it was good enough and popular enough that it got to tell its story, but not of such broad appeal that they got pressured to keep it going. I'm sure the theology and philsophy don't hold up, but it was funny and smart and heartfelt and I loved the entire run.
ESPECIALLY being from Jacksonville. :-)
I guess it depends how you evaluate "holding up". There are inconsistencies and holes in the way their system works if you look at everyone as omniscient, but it's pretty clear they aren't, so most of the stuff you can point to could just as easily be explained as not understanding the system fully. I'd say Janet is the hardest to reconcile in terms of continuity, though.
There are a lot of real examples of real philosophical dilemmas, and the show does a good job of showing the cruelties of some of those systems in a visible way. I think Chidi is absolutely believable as at the level of knowledge of a philosophy professor. It's worth noting that a core trait of the field is questioning the actually unknowable, so there isn't a "real" answer to compare to.

I discovered that show last year, binged the whole thing in 2 days, then immediately asked my wife to watch it with me and I binged it again. We both loved it!

Linux and foss software. You bunch of bastards now im a huge nerd
I've been writing a software library that parses a military communications standard. Every time I push updates I get a hundred or so downloads immediately, and I'm probably on a watchlist now, but the code is fun.
What prompted you to start this project?
I've worked with the protocol before, and there aren't a lot of parsing libraries - everyone is rolling their own in-house solution. Also, I wanted to do it in my language of choice lol
It would be interesting to see where in the world they are being downloaded.

Composting.
It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it's good for... plants, or something... Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that's when I learned about it.
I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn't get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that's when I knew I succeeded.
Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it's good for something, right?
Add some red wriggler worms and you can get some great soils addendum out of it. The castings are fantastic fertilizer (they don't like onions, garlic, and citrus as much though).

I started listening to Garbage. I'd heard a few of their songs before but I had no real opinion. Caught one lately and something clicked. Haven't heard a bad song yet.

The solar eclipse in exactly two weeks. In preparing for it though, I've become amazed at the sheer recklessness people have shown in capitalizing on it. Ordinary people for example are renting their driveways for hundreds of dollars, weather anchors are claiming you can see the solar eclipse through the clouds to escape having to give overcast warnings, and I just bought solar eclipse glasses which I recently learned ignored a fatal manufacturing error that makes them 100% unusable. So I've felt forced to go full DIY.
I'm going to be pissed if this is how things are when Betelgeuse explodes, or I'm going to be exploding too.
Any tips on the offending glasses? I live in the path of totality, and I don't want to blind my kid.

Delicious in Dungeon. It's delightfully bonkers in a way that works for me as a very occasional anime viewer, and for all of the gore (actually middling to low for the genre, I guess), it's damn near kid-friendly in its wholesomeness level.

On a brief break for the moment, but in the last year I've made 7 hand-wired computer keyboards.
On a brief break for the moment, but in the last year I’ve made 7 hand-wired computer keyboards.
That's neat. For what purpose- better response? Light up? Aesthetics?

I've played Rocket League a little bit since it came out, but I was never very good. Past couple months, I've been playing a lot more, and actually making contact with the ball in the air. I still can't get past Gold, but I'm guessing the base-level skill has gone up a bit since it launched, or at least thats what I tell myself. I seem to destroy in casual and mostly get destroyed in ranked.
This is me except time flies, so I've been playing semi-regularly for a bit over a year, and can't get past Platinum. Have fun and keep improving homie!
Ahh… Snowday was my go-to, and was what consumed most of my 3300hrs… I recently went cold turkey since they made Snowday only available every so often, and I simply just need to stop playing it. It took up too much of my time (clearly). Maybe I’ll install it in the future, but for now, I’m cool with the extra time for other activities (and games).
Making my own baked beans in tomato sauce. I'm trying to get it good without adding sugar, and have a killer recipe ready for when I visit my family next.
It's incredibly cheap and delicious and satisfying.
I've do some keto BBQ sauces, so I'm somewhat familiar with avoiding added sugar. How are you doing your recipes?
Lately I've been throwing everything at it to see if anything inspires. Gochujang, soybean paste, smoked paprika, powdered ginger. And the usual stuff like alliums, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, olive oil...
I give it about an hour to simmer in some extra been water, then another hour to braise in the oven.

Digital kitbashing for tabletop minis: using 3d modeling programs like Blender to hack together elements from different mini model files, in order to make custom minis to 3d print. I've even started playing around with rigging them so I can repose them easier.
That's awesome. I've done Blender sculpting for video game projects, and I have a friend who is currently sculpting and kitbashing sculpts for his own minis. Definitely drop your work at any of these:
I'd be thrilled to see it come to completion, or even just see sculpting updates.

Slay the Spire, a roguelike deckbuilding game. I thought that sounded horribly boring but decided to give it a chance, and I've been hooked on it. Playing on the Steam deck is perfect for this game I think.
That game whips ass.
It's a pretty different game, but another deck builder I've become obsessed with lately is Balatro. I highly recommend it

3D printing. Don’t recommend it … it’s addicting.
Equal parts addiction, fun, and frustration!
Biblical scholarship. I'm an atheist but after listening to Data Over Dogma podcast I've become very curious about the history of the Jews and early Christians and how the respective bibles were brought together.
Modern emo music. Started with Jank (I was late to the game and read up on it after the discovery) and I've done a deep dive into it. I'm mid-30s, always kinda looking for some new music, and the genre seems like a good mix of energy and interesting guitar licks. Just seems fun.
I say modern emo because to me emo was what the early 2000s produced.
Freebords, it is kind of like a skateboard that acts more like a snowboard. Waiting for more dry weather to try and learn to use it!
I downloaded an emulator and have been playing Digimon World 2. It's a game I used to play as a wee lad and never even came close to beating.
Now it's like the end credits of Step Brothers. I'm here to kick its ass on the playground.
You've just unlocked a core memory for me. Idk if it was Digimon World 2 specifically, but one of the World games had your Digimon pooping as a core mechanic, and I thought that was about the funniest thing that had ever been conceived. And, obviously, I also never got remotely close to beating it.
I might have to download it and see if: A) my humor has evolved at all beyond "lol poop" (probably not) and B) I can maybe beat it now (probably not)

Wrestlemania is coming up in a couple weeks, and I've been weirdly obsessing over it.
Job for a Cowboy. Their latest album, Moon Healer, is fucking incredible. If you're into technical death metal it's a must listen
YubiKeys, slide rules, and Squid Game.
