Grinding out #JRPG levels is actually quite therapeutic. Probably time to make a year of it.

I've got some hours into #ff3j now (#NES), and I can say a few things about it.
Auto-retargeting is game changing and awesome. #ff2j didn't have that, super annoying.
The "change jobs for a gimmicky thing" (starting with mini) mechanic is kinda bullshit. Lazy design.
No matter what the guides say, you have to grind out levels. It's not bad though.
I guess we were all learning our way, so I can forgive. Sadly, the story is not as compelling to me as ff2j.
I know ff4 is epic, and I finished it as #SNES #ff2, but I'm doing the translated Super Famicom version when I finish this and really looking forward to the progression.

I feel like I need to qualify my #hollowknight statement.
My loves are eclectic. I put tons of hours into #angband, #skyrim, various #zelda homebrew. I put an embarrassing amount of hours (years) into being immortal on a MUD.
I love all #metroid / #retro stuff, did a bunch of #stardewvalley , #valheim, #minecraft, #fps, #stanleyparable, all over the place.
Hollow Knight is so good it's become a trope of the genre, the game by which similar are compared for several years.
So yeah, play it.

Here's some #RareAir for you. 99% chance you've never heard of them or listen to anything like them before.
Now maybe you will!

When I was in college, there was a local pizza joint which sold an off-menu item known as a "Roman Sandwich." I don't know why they called it that.
It was definitely just a pizza, folded in half. Not quite a calzone, not quite a pizza. Intended for drunk college students who were going to eat the whole pizza anyway, and didn't want the pretense of "sharing."
I guess.

I've been making pouches (of the sort one uses to pack for #camping and #hiking) for a while now, with a focus on weight and function. Mostly I use #Dyneema and #HyperD300.
Today I saw this picture and suddenly I want to line my pouches because the increased contrast between the pouch interior and the contents is a game changer for usability in a dark tent.
But they they'll be heavier. That counts especially when you have half a dozen of them.

Debian 12 "Bookworm" + docker-compose + some microservices!
For the benefit of anyone who either needs some first-stage convincing as to how fast and easy #containers are, or a primer on now trivially easy it is to install #microservices using docker-compose.
Bonus - the Sonarr container is upgraded to the current beta near the end!

My 6yo is gonna sit with me and talk through setting up a #bungeecord #minecraft server network today. 🤓

One of my kids has been playing #minecraft with me on the regular for several months. We play creative on a server I set up on his computer, and survival on my long time public server.
He's been watching a handful of (insufferable) minecraft YouTubers and got it in his head that he has to play #skyblock and #oneblock. I've been resistant until today.
So I set up a Bentobox instance with all the game modes knowing he'd love them, and it turns out, oneblock is really fun. :awesomeface:

Almost immediately after building my daily driver mechanical keyboard, I realized that I had a single bad solder joint resulting in the tilde through the number 4 intermittently not working without a little percussive maintenance.
It took me a year to be annoyed enough (and inconveniently dying in a video game) to finally fix it. Took about 5 minutes.

Maybe there are some nerds around here who will appreciate this first iteration of my late stage pandemic project: build a handful of mechanical keyboards.
This one is my daily driver, a handwired #DactylManuform, codename "Spumoni," built summer 2021.

Sometimes I feel silly for building a boss workstation with an excellent video card when my gaming preferences are usually things like #Angband, #DwarfFortress, and pre-y2k #emulation.
That said, there are many giveaways that you're in a middle aged geek's office... one of them has got to be spotting a handmade ergo (team #DactylManuform) or 40% mech... with a detached numpad on the sidecar.
