  15. I've been helping the WideLands open source game (a beautiful Settlers II clone) with new graphics. I made so far the watercolor Frisian portraits (a Northern tribe of warriors), and a landscape (attached below). You can see the portraits when loading the Frisian campaign in the dev version of the game. widelands.org

  17. #introduction mreeow! Hi! My name is Momo! I'm a transfemme, and she/they is my preferred pronouns.

    I code as a hobby in #rust and #haskell. I also use #nixos as my main daily driver since last year. :blobfoxcomputer: :nkoLove:

    I enjoy creating casual game mods in my free time, including Stardew Valley, #twohoursonelife, and various other games. :apartyblobcat:

    I also love playing Cataclysm: Bright Nights (#cbn) and #Stardew Valley. Sometimes, #widelands, and #openttd too, because why not? I like the look and feel of these games. :blobcat3c:

    During the weekends, I try to finish reading a fantasy book or two, if I'm feeling reaaaaally cozy :blobcattea: :blobcatmorningtea:

    I will be posting about techy stuff that I encounter (mainly #nix and #rust), share my gaming experiences, and rant about random things, ranging from politics to personal life.

    And I like to sip a cup of coffee while watching camping videos, too, for some reason. :blabfox:

    Feel free to follow me if you want to hear more of my blabbing! :blobcat_mlem: :blobcat_nwn:

    PS: I will put distressing or NSFW posts behind CW. :blobcatpeek:

  19. In 6 Stunden ist es so weit!
    Der von mir geschätzte #Streamer @hatnix spielt voraussichtlich von 20 Uhr bis 1 Uhr die wuselige #opensource Aufbausimulation #widelands (Ein #Siedler-ähnlicher Titel) und ich freue mich darauf.
    Am #Sonntag-Abend nichts vor? Dann Wecker stellen und ab 20 Uhr dabei sein, Lust drauf bekommen & im Anschluss selbst zocken. Kostet ja nichts. Herunterladen & go go go.

  33. If I suspect that there is a bug (that involves randomness) in an important package in Debian, the right thing to do is to keep testing and investigating until I can be sure that the bug exists, right?

    Even if the investigation involves playing a number of widelands games until I'm really sure, right? :D
