I've got Mastodon running on a home server now. SMTP is still a complete mess, but I can do most of that stuff through console commands. Going to keep this profile as my primary for a bit to see if my home server is stable, accessible from outside, and federating at a good rate.

Do I want to play The Last of Us? Or just continue trying to break 1000 on every level and mode in Mini Motorways.

I so thoroughly respect how Hank Green manages to balance being a thoughtful educator and creator of content mostly for teens… while also getting drunk and swearing all over Twitter. It’s so wholesome and I might be in love. 😂

Look, I’ve been a Mac user since 1988 and I’m under no illusions about their place in gaming (i.e. dead last 😅) But… this gives me some kind of hope. The fact that a game I wrote is being used as a proving ground, well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

I just played Resident Evil Village on MacBook Pro — and now I’m a Mac gaming believer

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Their body, their choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

P.S. If you started following me due to this post, PLEASE look at my profile and decide if it's for you.

Make sure general nerdiness, tabletop roleplay, and other related pursuits are the kind of content you want to see in your timeline.

Our values obviously align, but our interests/hobbies might not. No hard feelings if you unfollow. 😉

Went for a #drive for about two hours, learning the back roads around here and stopping to take some #photos.
The #dog came along with me.
He was very good and happy and enjoyed the wind blowing in his ears… until twenty minutes before I got home, when he threw up directly on my #iPhone in the center console.

Y'all, icons plus colors. Not just colored text. I can't see red, and I'm tired of scrutinizing forms to see which fields were required. I don't complain about this much because it makes me feel stupid. Put a little X or :(

It's not hard.
Thanks.
