This has been our lunch for the past couple weeks. It's filling, pretty easy to do low calorie, and a great way to beat the heat.

Wish it wasn't so hard to find fresh bean sprouts, the ones in the shop are always a bit sad.

You know how Nidhogg is just one thing, and it's super simple and slightly just...nothing, but you can spend ages with it and it's got an incredibly high skill ceiling, and there's no flaws at all and they've just sort of achieved everything they set out to do without making a big deal out of it? It's that kind of game.

Kill The Crows is such a pure, condensed game. So rare to find a gameplay loop so utterly on the mark. Every moment is a small crisis where you're either lost in a flow state, or you're dead - and then right back into the action a couple seconds later.

Can't believe how few people talk about this cult classic-in-waiting. It's really charming.

I’ve spent the last year every weekend creating a 2.5 hour block of tailored programming to recreate the experience of Saturday morning cartoons for my kid, with selections from ~60 of the best (and some bad) cartoons from the last several decades, animated music videos, unearthed funny old clips, and modern indie animations, often with seasonal themes.

My programming is (I think) objectively better than the Saturday morning block ever was, and it takes hours every week to gather clips, edit, and manage where we’re at with every show. I sometimes wish I could share it with a larger crowd. Do you know of a PeerTube instance that would be cool with hosting this kind of content? I've tried sharing this with friends and family via SyncThing, but they didn't like it and it was a pain to help them troubleshoot all the time. It would be nice to have a platform for this work, even though I know it's all mostly untenable from an IP standpoint.

Just outstanding stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a Mega Man boss fight quite this interesting in how it plays out. Seems like this game is going to have an incredibly high skill ceiling.

As title says. I want to really soak in that high-minded worldview today.

Living in a walkable city means my weekly shop is a few hours of walking or biking instead of being stuck in traffic, and I'm only mildly tired afterwards since I use a bike with pretty large pannier bags. Since I have no car related costs I can afford more fresh food, a healthier diet, and I can afford to be more choosy about the ethics of what I buy. There's a twice weekly farmers market about a ten minute walk away, and quiet walks through parks to get to the shops. Living somewhere with car centric infrastructure, as I used to, this lifestyle was far less feasible.

Have your experiences been different with moving to walkable/bikeable cities? Any questions or points to be made? I'm not very up on the theory side of city planning, but my experiences line up with the whole "fuck cars" thing.
