Just beat the best sci-fi (horror) game of all time: Outer Wilds.

Being a science nerd since childhood, and an artist by trade, to witness a game combining the two in such a beautiful way is an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my lifetime.

Mickey Mouse (the Steamboat Willie version) is now public domain on the east coast of the US.
@desertbus hey, not sure if you know already but the sound for all the tech videos posted to YouTube is very quite and garbled. It's not a huge deal now, but wouldn't want it to be a headache for the VST later.

@LoadingReadyRun I was looking forward to putting the VOD of the PPR up on my TV during the day, but annoyingly the Twitch app for the Switch sucks (in many ways) and it cuts off the first 2 hours. Just drops you into the middle of game two between Kathleen and Ashlizzlle.

The Vod does work on my computer, but that wasn't what I wanted to do.

Dear #Fediverse:

Given the news in the last few days, I am encountering a lot of people who are seeking out #MentalHealth resources and #SelfCare techniques.

Can you help me add to the list? What resources do you recommend for people seeking mental health help?

How do you take care of yourself in tough times?

Happy #Newstodon Friday, here’s a short list of just some of our #news and #journalism friends to follow on the #fediverse (and not bots). Follow and boost these great outlets.

We’re wishing everyone a good weekend filled with things that bring you joy and hope.

In situations like these, I commend to your attention the Breaking News Consumer's Handbook.

Breaking news events are confusing and frightening. Early reports often include things that we later learn are wrong or not related. This guide intended to help you make sense of what you are reading and hearing. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/breaking-news-consumers-handbook-pdf

Rampant misreporting following shootings and other breaking news events is so predictable that we unintentionally developed a formula for covering them.

Last night as I was about to go to sleep I discovered that I hadn't realized that during the days rainstorm I had some minor flooding. Would have been annoying but managable; except I had left two double row long boxes of magic cards under my desk. Fortunately just commons and uncommon, no decks, most staples had been pulled out, and I don't care about sell value, but there were still cards I didn't want turning into a wet lump.

My sorting/triage became rougher as it got closer to 3AM
