So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

If any of y'all secretly work at Valve, I know you still do all-access press accounts for a select few people. Hook me up. Finding new indie games to spotlight is an exhausting, potentially expensive job.

<- We know EXACTLY how LLMs work. It is not that complicated. You can express it in 200 lines.

They absolutely, canonically, by definition, are not aware. They cannot think. This is not controversial or hard.

How many Reddit posts does it take to learn to read?

Re-reading "Neuromancer" and I'm struck how the protagonist wanting to get out of debt by selling 3MB of RAM went from being laughably dated to seeming actually plausible within recent months
Whew, between Biomenace Remastered, Haunted Lands and Arksync, I feel like a kid again. There was a very distinct flavor to DOS platform shooters of the early-to-mid 90s that has largely been left behind. Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks there was a spark to them worth nurturing.

We released a big update for BioMenace Remastered yesterday: It's now possible to download and share user levels directly from within the game! The levels are hosted on mod.io. I know some people were quite interested in user levels but not so keen on joining a Discord server (which was our interim solution for level sharing while mod.io support was in development), so now you no longer need to :)
