We're all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:

Have you ever cried over a celebrity or complete strangers death, why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Fred Rogers (of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood). For my generation, he helped to shape our views on kindness and compassion for humankind. He fought for public access funding in the United States. He helped break color barriers on television. He helped us enjoy jazz.

I have not encountered another media personality who was so genuinely invested in making sure that kids had the tools they needed to deal with the emotional parts of existence. I'm tearing up again thinking about how much he did for us.

You just described the vibe of Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles"...

Off the top of my head, vi came out in the late 70s (though it might have been a little while later before you could start editing directly through vi)

I'm hoping this is partly a Porno for Pyros reference.

Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site in c/technology@lemmy.world

It is sad that this guy just can't let go.

Honestly though, if he can preemptively put sufficient funds into escrow dedicated to managing all aspects of the site and engineering plans for digging with minimal perturbation of each waste cell, then let him have it*.

(* Escrow amount should be approximately $780m)

Oh man, I love Noita so much, but it can be so difficult at times.

'Caves Of Qud': Roguelike RPG Finally Launches After 17 Years in Development (And It's Really Good) in c/games@lemmy.world

It's so good, but I'm a bit sad that my current playthrough from last week can't load into 1.0...

What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 3 points 6 months ago

If you're referring to being blind to the plot specifically (but not what style of game it is), then my list is:

outer wilds
hades
disco elysium

I think the semicolons are correct too (though the colon you mentioned would add a lot of clarity). This grammar rule comes up infrequently enough that it can be jarring to encounter a semicolon before reaching the end of a properly formed independent clause.

What music do you use for concentration? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 4 points 8 months ago

Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn't have to actively process the lyrics).
