I've released delve 0.3.3! This release once again focused on bug-fixes and polish, including some UI niceties that begin to drag its user interface out of the stone ages.

I did a little devlog danarama.itch.io/delve/devlog... and the github page is also updated!

v 0.3.3

0.3.3 fixes a host of bugs and adds some UI polish. I'd guess almost half of all the git commits were just fixing poorly phrased messages, or messages that revealed information they shouldn't. I did f...

So stoked to spend the afternoon eating a gigantic plate of brussel sprouts (and some mashed potatoes on the side) followed by an even more gigantic plate of pumpkin pie!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Magicians work best late at night, and so do I. Another new one for the Major Arcana of the bird tarot.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Turns out I hadn't added these lovey birds to the Bird Tarot thread yet, so here they are again:

I tried out LÖVE last November for like 2 weeks to make a little game and ever since, my iPhone automatically changes love to löve every single time.

But even after like 15 years of having a smartphone, it can't seem to learn to change Im to I'm

It's still hot around here but I am hopeful, ok??

Template with mobile phones and a wallpaper of a ghost in a mug in them. The tea label says "Boolong Tea" and has a little skull. I'm so clever, I know. The mug itself has a pumpkin, flowers and leaves.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I feel like I should replay Persona 3 too... (I think I finished it?? The ending had something to do with the moon? @vanishingage.bsky.social?)

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 5d

youtube has been recommending me a lot of videos about "Making your personal curriculum", which I take to mean I need a regimen for video game playing.

So through autumn my plans are to play:
1) Hades 2
2) Blue Prince
3) Clair Obscura
4) Arco
5) Disco Elysium

But the Bay is gone now so I need to figure out where I'll enjoy clothes shopping at

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 6d

I have to go pick up a pair of jeans or two soon and it's a bit of a dilemma for me. I used to get most of my boring/standard clothing from the Bay because (1) decent selection (2) slightly better than cheap disposable clothing from Walmart (3) the staff leave you alone for the most part

Dana @danarama.bsky.social · 6d

I was not great at it either! There’s an option you can turn on to make things a little easier.

And yeah I really liked all the aesthetics. Art, voice acting, and music were all top notch
