So, this summer, I moved back down into the city proper.

Anybody in #chicago know any good #logansquare accounts to follow? (also if you're around the area, poke me and let's get coffee! I need new local friends!)

@bram hey there; just sent you an e-mail about Notion.cafe, when you've got a sec. Unsure if it fell through the cracks or something!

@brie holy crap I thought *I* had a lot of random domains and fractured web-presence. my condolences! O_O

found you via https://brie.dev/ok-reader/, originally looking to ask:

A. are you still using KOreader, and in particular, did Hardcover sufficiently […]

@ivory one for the feature-requests: I'd love to see a 'jump to' hotkey with fuzzy-search, ala ⌘P in VScode / Notion, ⌘K in Discord / Beeper / Spotify / Slack,

Pictured: (annoyingly) ⌘F in my beloved @things; one of the slicker/simpler implementations of the quick-picker/command-search that […]

Unsure if I've even mentioned this anywhere before,

but I've maintain a "Steam Curator" page for the last few years, keeping a log of how well games handle custom keyboard layouts - feel free to follow it if you want to see a note on Steam Store pages telling you whether a game's keybind […]

one of my stupider pet-peeves:

"what's the meta"

not all strategy is *meta-game* strategy. "the meta" is only *possible* in a multiplayer game, where the balance of the characters is being continuously tweaked by upstream developers.

Choosing a tool just because it's known to be strong […]

Fascinating.

I just ran the math; and Apple's displays/devices have almost *precisely* the same "pixels-per-degree-of-visual-arc" (a much more important measurement than raw PPI.)

- Pro Display XDR (at 70cm) is ~53° of visual arc; that gives it ~112 px/deg
- M1 Macbook Pro at 61cm is ~31° of […]

… then what the fuck is the point, Ubisoft?

I despise when corporations participate in the security theatre of having "2FA", but then *requiring* some sort of strictly-less-restrictive "backup" login option.

1. if 2FA can be added … but […]

Question for y'all #SystemicGames¹ folks who like multiplayer/#coop games:

How do you logistically manage actually having a co-op, multiplayer playthrough of a complex video-game in your life?

I've always struggled, hard, with satisfying my needs here; not only is it so hard to find people who […]

I, uh, I. Own a house now.

On the same day that someone important to me passed.

It's … it's been a fucking weekend. A fucking month? Year???

Man, I had a shit week.

Tried to stretch outside my comfort zone in a big way; but failed myself really badly.

Old trauma woke up at a crucial moment, and bit me really hard; and I think the whole thing, instead of being healing, just … doubled everything down.

I’m feeling worthless in a […]

I’m unreasonably fucking pissed.

An r/me_irlgbt moderator banned me, and is now accusing me of being an A.I. … … … because I use fucking emdashes and ellipses.
