Burnout on games and more, much in flux.

Though drained & diminished, Incidentally & Perhaps still a/the peak source for Happenings & Intrigues when it comes to Roguelikes/RPGs/etc in English, as I sense them.

Anime, Donghua, Politics, Current Events...my feed is deeply chaotic as per long storied tradition.

@jplebreton The latter at least shows some imagination, but the former is some bullshit if they can't even aspire to the intrigues of Hollow Earth reckonings at minimum.

Indie devs: any of y'all ever gone with a publisher, and did you feel you came away from it doing ok?

idk, the idea of compounding Steam's already ridiculous 30% cut with a publisher cut on top of that feels like a recipe for getting bilked. But I'd be happy to be wrong.

@rocky1138@dosgame.club I've been having conversations with a fellow dev all morning, and I'm starting to consider the idea of hiring someone for PR. A publisher is probably out of the question -- I do have a specific publisher in mind that I would love to court, but considering Steam takes 30% as it is, that doesn't seem worth it as a first-time indie.

How did I learn only now that the series finale of the sitcom Webster was set on the bridge of the Enterprise-D circa TNG’s second season, in which Webster teaches Worf about “fun” via a glorified clip show?

I mean… I just… I am shocked that I’d never known this.

The whole episode is up on Youtube, in absolutely atrocious quality. It is utterly awful. I mean, just *awful*. But to find a bit of TNG lore I wasn’t aware of… that’s special.

(Also, while we're bringing up bad history - I think 2022 demonstrates very clearly that the Dems could have won fighting for trans people in 2024. They absolutely got into the mud to fight that battle in 2022 and mostly won. Then the donors started getting antsy and they decided to just "not talk about it" in 2024 - which resulted in the GOP successfully hanging Harris with the carceral care surgeries even harder. It was NEVER about strategy, rich libs just be bigots too.)

But what content will content creators cover when there is no one left to create *actual* content?

General reminder:

The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.

Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and it always has been.

You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.

Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

NHK World used to have the best weather music. I *think* I tracked down the song before but it led to some obscure album that's not possible to acquire anymore.

I cannot believe we writing stories about Trump threatening Lula with 50% tariffs unless he lets Bolsonaro go and not ONE MUTHERFUCKING OUTLET in America has brought up Lava Jato (Car Wash) at fucking all at all.

It is deeply fucking ironic for an American President to be accusing LULA of sham political trials given the VOLUMUOUS amount of evidence THREE US presidents backed what amounted to a soft judicial coup against Lula's party which DIRECTLY lead to Bolsonaro's reign.

US media IS the CIA
