I haven't sought any assessment for this stuff, but I have my hunches. So I don't know if this is a thing, but every single time I appear clean and normally dressed, saying things that are agreeably sane and charming, and not talking about one topic at length or being super quiet, it is always because I have decided it is necessary.

    My kid usually seems so bright and sharp. Then out of nowhere he says the most unglued, brain-dead shit I've ever heard, and I need a second to mentally pull over, throw out some road flares, change to snow tires, and assess survival provisions. I probably make that face the whole time, before I remember to smile sweetly.

    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.
