Since I'm on a bit of an #RPG roll right now: Does anyone know the French RPG (or #JdR as they call it, I believe?) called #Agone?
There are ~5 books in English but over 20 in French!
I love what I've read so far, but my French sucks...

Alright, #RPG crowd!
Does anybody want to join an online game? I'll GM!
~UTC 12:00 to 16:00, day is negotiable.
Probably using Roll20 and Discord, but I'm open to suggestions. No minis or grids, just "Theater of the Mind".

I have 2 campaigns in mind: You'll either play scavengers in a post-apocalyptic science-fantasy world, or super-villains trying to Escape From New York (where you were trapped by aliens)!

Yo #videogames crew!
Has any of you managed to use your PC as a #WiiU gamepad?
I can't get the software to work, and I don't even know where to start fixing it...
#Ineedhelp here 😅

Okay, I got it to tell me that it doesn't like my C++ compiler.
... wat?

I'm trying to install that "drc-sim" software that allows me to use my PC as a Wii U gamepad, but cmake ist just sitting there doing nothing 😦

It's got me in its jaws

Not that there is anything specifically wrong with computerfairi.es!

The more I dive into this Mastodon thing, the more I want to run my own instance? 😅

But last I read, moving accounts isn't a thing yet, so I'll very probably will be too lazy to do that.

Also... I shouldn't take responsibility for things, ever.

Thanks to @Baxter for pointing out that using '\b' instead of '\s' also makes it work at the end of toots!

I have noticed that having a clean flat has a significant positive effect on my mood, but I still can't get off my butt and keep it clean...
So I've decided to try having ONE room that I try my best to keep clean and orderly!

Of course, there are a lot of things I need to do to get it there 😅

Note that this ONLY mutes toots that CONTAIN these phrases, it does NOT mute USERS 😅

In case anyone is curious:
'.*' means "any character 0 or more times"
'\s' means "any whitespace character", so that names like "@hungrybotanist" or "@someoneelse" won't be filtered

If you only wanted to filter out "word" but not "words", you could also put a '\s' after that.

Sadly, that WON'T work if it's at the END of a toot, since the ending apparently doesn't count as whitespace. 🤔
There might be a workaround for that, I'll have to look into that.

Okay, I THINK I figured out how the filter thingy here works.

1. Click the Settings icon on the top right of a column
2. Scroll down to 'Advanced'
3. Put a text like this in the 'Filter out by regular expressions' box:

@.*bot\s|@someone\s|some word|more words

^ This would mute ALL toots that CONTAIN
1. usernames that end in 'bot' (but not ones that have 'bot' in the middle)
2. user @someone
3. words 'some word'
4. words 'more words'

Sadly it can't seem to filter out emoji like

I just read an article how craftspeople are lacking qualified personell.

And one of the "offers" they try to "tempt" people with to work for them is... raises that match the inflation rate.
Not exceed. Match. That's a special deal now!

🤣 / 😭

So I was looking forward to seeing CRA (even though the title is a bit ableist), but not only are German theaters only showing dubs (no thanks!), they also removed the "Asians" from the title 😐

Think I'm joking? The image below is the official German poster!

Just saw a spoiler CW for a 50 year old movie! I like this instance! ❤

Good morning!

My nightmares were very creative tonight, I'm a little bit proud...

Yeah, this is a lost cause.
I mean, it works, but it doesn't look very good.
But hey, I've got a nice looking printable version!
And I guess you can fill it out in LibreOffice, too, though I won't guarantee that it won't look completely different on someone else's computer 😅

I've been conditioned to buy these bundles.
I have to restrain myself from buying this one.
I already own all the books! Most of them on ACTUAL PAPER in addition to the PDFs!

I'm not joking, just making light of it.

The #HumbleBundle has the excellent (my opinion), award-winning (someone else's opinion) #TheOneRing #RPG for sale. The whole line for just $15!
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/lord-of-the-rings-rpg-books
(No referral link, I don't earn a single cent from this.)

This is one of my favorite RPGs!
It is set in #MiddleEarth, the world from the #LordOfTheRings and the #Hobbit. It is very atmospheric and while obviously making stuff up true IN SPIRIT to Tolkien's writing (my opinion, again).
Go get it, it's a steal for $15!
