I am getting ready to migrate instances to https://mastdn.games! Followers should transfer automatically. See you all on the flipside.

@britt Considering migrating to mstdn.games, largely to have a public timeline that is more manageable and filled with topics I'm interested in. I wanted to check with you to make sure I'm welcome, considering I boost a fair bit and noticed a rule about excessive posting/boosting.

I've just come across a lovely word in the book I'm currently reading which is

Confelicity - the pleasure you take from the happiness of others

Which I feel is a good descriptor for this site and the communities that are built up through this site

I ordered an iced London fog this morning. For those who may be unaware, a London fog is, by definition, an Earl Grey latte (i.e. Earl Grey tea + steamed milk + vanilla). I swear, the uncultured barista who prepared my drink just poured straight, cold milk in my Earl Grey and called it a London fog. Most disgusting thing ever.

TEA. STEAMED MILK. VANILLA.
Not difficult.

One of the first tech explorations i did for "Borscht".

In NES graphics, there's no intuitive way to cause a *vertical* scroll split like shown here.

Instead in this case, forest tiles to the left & right get bankswapped with position shifted content. This means the far backround *appears* to stay put, but it is really scrolling.

This costs quite a bit of ROM and is usually best done sparingly for a visual treat unusual on the system.

Last day of classes. Final exams next week. From my side of the desk, this is a good day. For some of my students, not so much. 😆

The anxious urge to say "no worries either way" when you are actually worrying both ways plus a secret third way

Definitely use a password manager, but not LastPass.

I recommend BitWarden, a solid & well audited but is dependent (for most users) on using their servers.

If you want or need total control of the data then use KeePass, which plays nice with cloud storage for sync & has implementations on just about every OS and device you can think of.
