In Washington alcohol is so expensive that any reasonably sized party of alcoholics it’s cheaper to drive across the entire state to buy in Idaho (forgive this disaster of a sentence structure I’m awake like 5hr early because of cats)

My cat loves empty rooms for standing in and yowling. Good acoustics for singing I guess lol

Wait if it stands for Ronald’s Universal Number Kounter, does that mean both the creator and current maintainer are named Ronald? Is it a dread pirate kinda deal where whoever holds the hat takes the name?

I do QA for headsets. My job involves a lot of building and rebuilding various branches so everything I can do to make that easier is great

I had a retail job years back where part of my work was processing incoming freight and putting it in the inventory system. I set up a spreadsheet that helped me format the entries for the actual system. My boss kinda hated it, like “you’re adding extra steps it’s a waste”. Never did convince them it was saving me time and wrist health, had to use it in secret

Another boss I had actively tried to get me to stop using a spreadsheet to track my time and instead update their time tracking system on every task. I could either spend a couple seconds slapping in a spreadsheet entry and have it auto fill in the time spent since the last entry and bulk copy in the day to the time tracking system as part of me leaving for the day, or I could spend a minute fucking with the time tracking system every few minutes of work

At my current job my boss caught wind of me setting up a way to abstract our build system for dedicated types of builds. Instead of trying to get me to stop I was asked to present it to the team and help other people build little tools like it for their own uses. Feels a lot better

Is this kind of like OpenMW or OpenXcom? But more broad as the recompilation process can be applied to multiple games on that platform?

Rock and roll and stone!

New update: I’m like 4 hours in and so far loving this game. It is clearly early elder scrolls inspired but it stands on its own. Very happy to be playing it

I see it has big mushrooms, I’m sold downloading now

Fuck yessss, I hope the support is good. They put so much love into that game now I want to see how extra the modding scene will get

I want to know where to get $5 tabs damn

Fam sounds like you need to get out there and make this a reality. $15 is cheap compared to a good memory like this

You’ve never spent hours screaming in pain with your only tether to reality being a pillow that you’re chewing on so you don’t clench your jaw tight enough to chip teeth?

Generally that would be the outer batter is rolled in diced potato for extra goodness and potato-y crisp from the deep fry. They’re also often like half meat and half mozzarella sticks inside. If you’ve never experienced one, highly recommend

I never stopped my COVID routine so I’m not really doing anything different to prepare but I am at least a little prepared. Going to buy one of those emergency 5-gallon buckets of dehydrated food this time around though, like next time I’m at a bulk food not as shit hits the fan.

I haven’t put much thought into if it is overblown because realistically I’d prefer to see a big fuss over nothing than to see people sit back with a beer while their neighbors die. So I’m not going to treat it like we’re overreacting I’m going to be pretty serious about things.

Billions of queries becoming way more energy intensive for a feature almost nobody asked for, now the default. What the fuck are we even doing

6 also has a really bad habit of trying to hide a lot of stuff away from you for idk why, cleaner aesthetics? In 5 almost all the numbers are there out in the open ready to be looked at in-game and it makes approaching everything much easier for me

Obsidian on my local machine, changes get pushed to GitHub, Jenkins pipeline is triggered, I like to use multibranch pipelines with Jenkinsfiles, ObsidianHTML is called and uses a config file in the repo, scp and ssh to send everything to the host server. The order it moves things is a bit specific to try and reduce downtime: New site gets sent to host server with a temp directory name, old directory is renamed, new directory is renamed to be what the old one was, and then the old one is deleted. Getting the build server to actually have the tools installed for ObsidianHTML was kinda a pita had to do a lot of figuring out which versions of Python were supported where and update a lot of stuff without breaking other parts of the build server relying on older Python versions. My build and host servers are two separate droplets with DigitalOcean. ObsidianHTML isn’t being developed anymore so I’d like to replace it with something I make myself one day but I’m not good at web dev in general let alone programmatically building pages

I write a world/setting and host all the notes for it on my own little website. I’m kinda proud of how it is set up: I write things in Obsidian, push changes to a repo, and then a build server picks everything up to turn into a webpage and update the host server. From random thought to website is just a few minutes
