@anime Not yet, I'm only 14 episodes in, but it's definitely trying to get game nerds to talk to girls, which could lead to other things. It's a step in the direction.
The Kimi to Pico-Pico manga seems like another attempt to reverse the birth rate decline in Japan. Haha.
@retrotechtive I think one of those was the first bit of computer equipment i ever accidentally broke.
@retrotechtive Is that one of those terrible Apple II joysticks? That plug into a dip socket on the motherboard?
Isekai Walking is now up to 9 published episodes with 10 different translators, it's a meme to the point where the new translator called it out.
And really, "Toumei Otoko to Ningen Onna ~Sonouchi Fuufu ni Naru Futari~" is also a pretty cute manga. It's an interesting premise.
@stuff Food's better at Waffle house though. So far I haven't had any problems with fights at waffle houses in colorado or missouri. Though the door to one of them did pinch my son's finger when he wasn't careful. I did see that video of the fight in Austin though.
@kenshirriff I wonder how close this is to the IBM PALM processor design. "Put All Logic in Microcode"
re: 1-person mastodon instance moderation
@pro @b0rk I dabbled with the filtering a bit, was trying to make certain other instances not show up on the public timeline, but ultimately I just decided to make the public timeline private instead. So right now I don't have a block list at all. I imagine I'd just block individual users if they started to get annoying.
The "saving 80k coins in a different world for retirement" chapter 50 is kind of amusing. She fakes out the Russian diplomats by referring to the hero from USSR, then saying the hero from their world actually came from Ukraine in the USSR. Of course, there was no such hero to begin with.
@Zenra_Nukenin If they're going to do that, they should try the different difficulties at least a bit to say "I found Normal to be a bit too easy, while Hard was just right." Or "Normal was too easy, while Hard mode just turned the enemies into bullet sponges rather than increasing the challenge."
@gamingonlinux Yep, play how you want, as long as you don't set it to easy, then complain that the game is too easy. ;)
Went back to the Ouray hot springs for the first time in probably 35 years... Was nice. I'll have to go there again sometime. Though once the sun set, I was toasty, but with frost in my hair and beard.
@anime @hfaust I think the article I read said it was $7500 in USD, which means their exchange rate has tumbled quite a lot. Used to be the rule of thumb was 100 yen was $1, but that's quite a bit out of date now. I wonder just how much of the farm story/slow life/etc genre has been secretly helped by the government that wanted to push this sort of policy to reverse population decline. It's pretty late though, it would have been better to get people having kids back in the 80's.
@Cheeseness @AlexLW I really enjoyed how the first episode felt like a straight Sam and Max game from the prior season, then each game after that found its own theme and ran with it to its logical conclusion. I actually played the first two episodes of Season 3 first, then went back to play the first two seasons because I was starting to notice references I didn't get.
@Cheeseness @AlexLW The first two seasons are weaker than the 3rd, but the 3rd makes it all worth playing through to see the ending. Aside from Tales from the Borderlands, it's my favorite thing that telltale made.
