I wish I was better at using #GIMP . Is there a trick to unlearning decades of #Photoshop experience to get comfortable with GIMP?

This definitely is a thing... Another reason I'm happy with NixOS is that I had to look into setting this up only once (which did take a long time), then added it to my configuration and ever since it works out of the gate on a fresh installation.

Code.

# Enable Japanese input, run fcitx5-config-qt, add Anthy and reboot.
i18n.inputMethod = {
enable = true;
type = "fcitx5";
fcitx5.addons = with pkgs; [
fcitx5-anthy
fcitx5-gtk
];
ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ anthy ];
};

Thanks a lot! We actually settled on this look only this weekend; before that it looked like a standard wiki.

The more obscure, the better. Not even done with Rinne's page yet, but the development section alone was endlessly fascinating.

On behalf of the entire team, I'm excited to announce the launch of the Falcom Wiki! 🎉

A fan-driven, ad-free resource dedicated to documenting the worlds, characters, and history of Nihon Falcom.

Come take a look, and help us grow the archive:

Profile bio checks out; I forgot my earphones and microfibre cloth, but not my ereader. Back to P. Djéli Clark's The Master of Djinn, gripping enough to not be disturbed by surrounding noise and dirty glasses.

Goosebumps during the #DragonQuest7 Reimagined reveal! Finished the 3DS version recently enough not to be interested in immediately picking it up, but it sure looks great. #NintendoDirect

I found them IRL, does that count? 😊 (And yes, I teared up when I did)

Over the (15) years we've been together my wife and I have been joking that unlike her I maxed out my luck stat, but nothing drives home that idea than landing the last fish and painting she'd been looking for for ages the moment I take over the controller. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Finished #Lufia2 last night. Loved the unconventional dungeon designs, the overall pacing, the music and that ending in particular. It has soul and it's a classic for a good reason.

I never found out the root issue of my #homeserver reboots, but thankfully a new SSD and a fresh #Proxmox installation fixed whatever caused it. It's been running like a charm ever since I turned it back on, even throughout the holiday.

Just checked and it still appears to be vacant.

Guan @gu4n.bsky.social · Aug 25

Pretty sure it'll make its way to the wiki sooner or later! I have yet to play the game, so might as well scribble down some lore when I eventually do.

Oh, there will be!

Happy to hear you serve our enthusiasm for the move and that the wiki served you well! I hope you didn't run into too many spoilers along the way.

Not yet. As soon as we do, we'll let you know here (also because we're not allowed to share the new URL on Fandom).

Good news: the Kiseki Wiki is migrating away from Fandom.

The better news? Our friends at Ys Wiki are joining us to collectively form the Falcom Wiki, your future home for all Falcom lore.

'Are there books about Estelle and Joshua?' the eldest asks as we put her to bed after playing #TrailsInTheSky1st for a bit.

My work is done here. :ablobcatbongo:

Paused my #Lufia2 playthrough to give the #TrailsInTheSky1st demo a spin. It's really impressive in every regard and I hope it'll do well.

It's also really special to rediscover a country you know so well through the eyes of a 6-year-old, who's already discussing 'next time we're in Japan'.
