This seems to be a phenomenon I’m coming across increasingly frequently in real life. People outraged about “how dare you think that…”.
This used has always been quite common online, but I never so much IRL. Sometimes I have to shut down a conversation with someone because they’re getting too worked up to talk about the issue.

Minishoot adventure
This game was made for me…dual stick shooter with metroidvanias elements. Strongly recommend it. I’m having a blast.

Kavita has been good. I wanted to use it more for organising, fetching metadata and reading comic books from the server. Works well with Android and the Kahon app (+Kavita extension) on my Android tablet.

- Comment on What was your social media path? 1 week ago:
IRC
ICQ
MSN messenger
there was a site where you could post 2 choice questions that people could answer and comment on, I forget the name but I used that a lot
Facebook
Digg
Reddit
Lemmy… I had a Lemm.ee account and that died. Had a lemmynsfw account and that died. Apparently lemmy.ml has a bad reputation. Instances defederate from each other. I just want to see memes without the drama. Don’t know where to post to get more than a handful of people to see my post. I’m rapidly losing interest in the fediverse.
Back to books, podcasts and RSS… Social media has nothing worthwhile for me.
- Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State 1 week ago:
When I was a kid in the 90s, there used to small fringe groups talking about global warming and everyone else rolled their eyes. Now when it’s too late, people have started caring.
Privacy, security and anonymity are at that place now. Anyone talking about how fucked up it is that even your TV and fridge is mining all the data it can is considered to be a fringe alarmist. People are going to wait till the world is on fire before taking this seriously. There was an uproar when WhatsApp changed its terms of service a couple of years ago and that died down and nothing changed. The uproar from this will also die down and nothing will change. Maybe one day people will see this as relevant to their lives and take it seriously.

You can talk toy yourself all you want, just wear a Bluetooth earpiece (turned off). While you’re at it, you might as well put your favourite booze into a closed insulated coffee tumbler. Now wear a clean collared shirt and no one will question you talking to yourself or your day time drinking.

If you fart intentionally when you go to the toilet (or a place of your choosing), then you won’t have as much gas left inside to have accidental farts at other times.

No idea bro. Install and try them out. I don’t remember Niagara from when I trialled it.
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 2 weeks ago:
Use this table and try a few. Find one you like. You can check the privacy report for trackers etc on the Exodus site.
I tried a whole bunch of launchers and settled on Pear launcher. I keep KISS launcher solely for the search (launch KISS search on double tapping the home button).

- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 3 weeks ago:
I’m a huge fan of rogue-lites. I don’t think I’ve come across any meta-progression mechanic that has bothered me as much as you say.
Hades was probably the most jarring example for me. Mirror upgrades made the game significantly easier and there was little chance of a beginner rogue-lite player managing to complete a run without these. Then by the time the mirror upgrades were unlocked then it felt like I needed to rapidly turn up the “heat” to keep the game challenging at all. I can see why they’ve made such a drastic difficulty curve because they’re appealing to a wider audience than normal rogue-lite audiences (Binding of Isaac audiences would never tolerate such hand holding). I’m still fine with that.
I’ve got a bigger problem with abilities/items being locked behind impossible difficulty. Some items I will never unlock in Dead Cells, because I will never be able to do 5BC (got to 4BC max). Same with Enter the Gungeon and beating the final final boss and extra bosses. In those cases I wonder why the devs have made aspects of the game that the majority of the population will never get to engage with. I just download a 100% completed save file when I’ve made all the progress I could have. I think we should be given the option to access all unlocks after 100 or 150 hours of gameplay or some such option.
Overall, I’ve got no problem with the inclusion of meta-progression (or not). If they implement it well and make a fun game, that’s all that matters to me.

If anyone like getting their hands dirty with tinkering, then you can get inspiration from Zac’s YouTube video about modernising an iPod.

Into The Breach
It works perfectly with just touch controls. Eden emulator runs the Switch version perfectly on my phone. I hadn’t really played the game properly before (would just die quickly and not know how to proceed). Now I’m starting to get the hang of it and can play it for brief gaps in my day now that it is on my phone.
- Comment on Reddit says it’s not a social media platform. Australia’s High Court is unlikely to agree 4 weeks ago:
When there’s a rule that benefits social media sites, then they’re definitely social media. When there are laws to restrict social media sites, “we’re definitely not social media”.

- Comment on Follow this advice for a happier 2026 5 weeks ago:
The rules for social media that work great for me are:
- 75% of the time that I think need to comment, I actually don’t need to say anything. I delete my comment and move on.
- once a comment is made, there will not be any reply to further comments. There’s nothing to gain from a back and forth. I’ve made my point, the other guy has made his point. Move on. The only exception will be purposeful invited discussion (e.g. helping someone with solving a gaming related problem, answering a specific question regarding my home server, etc).
