sharpen the edges, and it’s a home defense weapon

Reminds me of Terry Pratchett, and the Death of Rats.

Try getting older!

A decade ago, I was extremely into hi-fi — most of my disposable income went to it. (Martin Logan electrostatic speakers and McIntosh amps, stereo JL Fathom 13.5” subs, sound treatment and reference mic for balancing and analysis …)

Now? I’m perfectly and completely pleased with my AirPods Max. My hearing just ain’t what it used to be, and I genuinely don’t hear the slightest difference. (… obviously modulo feeling the bass, hah.)

(Yes. I listen to music over Bluetooth. Not even APT-X. WHO HAVE I BECOME? 😭)

When I was a kid, I was such a nerd, that I invented my own decimal timekeeping system.

Even wrote a little macOS menubar clock for it — I was dead-serious.

Edit: omg the website still works, even though I never put any real content there …

Edit 2: Found this old explanation I apparently put together in July 2010, according to my image archive:

“Pretty fly, for a wi-fi.”

I guess I haven’t seen that many, but there aren’t any comments yet, so I win by default!

It wasn’t English class before you got here — but, unfortunately, it turned out you missed the other English classes! No big deal, though, we’re happy to pivot.

So, let’s talk about the subjunctive …

This is terrible news to me, as an OCaml’eer.

There goes all my potential cool project domains … 😭

This is so frickin’ relatable.

I recently moved cross-country, leaving my beloved partners behind; and while I’m so much happier in my new location … I’m struggling to make new friends? Feels like a “30s problem,” because I used to have a vibrant, online scene of rich friendships … but now it’s just me, my dog, work, and a bunch of single-player videogames. )=

I spend most of my weeks looking forward to the next trip to/from my partners, and live as a completely antisocial shut-in, the rest of the time … which sucks, because I used to think of myself as something of a social butterfly! 😮‍💨

anyway idk hit me up if you wanna play multiplayer, complicated video games — factorio/satisfactory, complex systemic RPGs, literally anything that 1. takes more than a week or two to play and 2. isn’t single player? 🫠

I haven’t actually played it yet, but HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed has been in my Steam library for ages. That looks like it may scratch your itch …

I really miss some “toy soliders” 3D shoot-em-up that I can just baaaaaaarely remember from the 1990s … does anybody remember the game I’m thinking about? (There was definitely a series, I distinctly recall the name ending in “2” …)

I absolutely adored Invisible, Inc (by Klei — yes, of Don't Starve & Oxygen Not Included fame — what a diverse bunch!)

It seems a little different from your usual vibe (it's not an first/third-person shooter-y thingie; iirc it's isometric and pixel-art?); but it's easily the best stealth game I've ever played. :D

There’s no reason to be so critical of OP for this … if anything, it’s impressive, or at least cute. Why you gotta be bringing Reddit negativity over here? )=

I wish you’d recommended that commenters keep to “one extension per top-level comment,” making it easier to upvote the best ones 😅

Anyway, my “one pick” is definitely Tridactyl — a thorough, absurdly powerful poweruser-mode for FireFox based in Vi-like modal interaction.
