It's been mathematically proven that @popefucker@cybre.space doesn't like mathematical proofs
Today's big game was Brass: Birmingham.
It's a game about the industrial revolution in the uk
It was super fun, and really hard...
Hello I played board games and it was fun

hey music nerds - do any of you wanna buy my Roland MT-32 (classic low-end 80s MIDI synthesizer) or Boss SP-202 sampler (Dr Sample!)? If not, I'm gonna ebay 'em in a few days.
They each tend to go for about $150 on ebay so, like, $125 each here?
@multiple_creatures it does often feel like that, but for me I like being able to see my notifications without having to load another page.
(especially since most servers are in the US or Europe, and so they take a while to transfer to my computer.)
I don't actually want multiple columns, I want one column with either notifications on the sidebar, or a button to see notifications that switches to them instantly, without having to wait on a server.
re: money, decision
@Felthry The main reason this is a conundrum is that I'm not certain that I'd access it more than once, so it's more of a principles thing (preferring ownership to renting)
money, decision
I've got until Wednesday next week to consider this.
I have two choices:
1) spend $36 more than usual ($48), but get permanent access to something
2) spend the same as usual ($12), but only get temporary access to it
I want to do the first one (especially since in order to afford it I just need to have less junk food), but I'm not sure "spending more money to get something I can access with my subscription" is a good idea
plural stuff
@voidsnek yay!
Rest well!

Classic Doctor Who | Season 11
Just 2 more stories until the end of the 3rd Doctor's era.
I love Jon Pertwee's Doctor. But I am glad the era's ending and we're shifting on to someone else – I think I'd get completely sick of the 3rd Doctor if there was another entire season of him. Not because he's bad, but because I like change. I like having new companions frequently, I like having new doctors, I like having new enemies.
Which makes me worry about Tom Baker's upcoming 7-seasons-long era…
moon's out guns out, awooo (selfie, eye contact, boosts okay)
@Fidgetcetera oh gosh, you're very cute!
I really like your hair!
Classic Doctor Who | Season 11 | Death to the Daleks
I've given this story a "Don't Watch" rating, the first "Don't Watch" for the entirety of the Third Doctor's era.
Because unlike the other mediocre stories in this era, this one is not merely boring. It's also a rehash of previous stories, and has undertones (and overtones) of racism. There's absolutely no reason to watch it.
Classic Doctor Who | Season 11 | Death to the Daleks
The Evil of the Daleks, by ✨David Whitaker✨
— as above
Day of the Daleks, by ✨Louis Marks✨
— the daleks are kind of masterminding things, so this does feature a bunch of non-dalek enemies
Planet of the Daleks, by Terry Nation
— Nation returns and writes a story with.... dangerous flora and fauna on a planet.
Death to the Daleks, by Terry Nation
— once again, the aliens on the planet are really dangerous
Classic Doctor Who | Season 11 | Death to the Daleks
The Chase, by Terry Nation
— centred around all the dangers the characters face while trying to escape the daleks
The Dalek's Master Plan, by Terry Nation and Dennis Spooner
— dangerous plants, dangerous people on Earth under Mavic Chen's employ.
The Power of the Daleks, by ✨David Whitaker✨
— this story has no dangerous flora or fauna, and it's tense and terrifying.
Classic Doctor Who | Season 11 | Death to the Daleks
Something that Terry Nation always does in Dalek stories is make the environment a threat, and I feel like that makes the Daleks feel weaker.
To prove this, lets look at every Dalek episode up to this one:
The Daleks, by Terry Nation
— features a very dangerous swamp full of monsters
The Dalek Invasion of Earth, by Terry Nation
— features crocodiles in sewers, zombies on the streets, and a man-eating creature at the mines
Classic Doctor Who | Season 11 | Death to the Daleks
I really don't like this story.
The Daleks don't feel threatening, and that feeling is amplified by the fact that lighthearted (and borderline comical) music plays every time they enter a scene.
On top of that, none of this story feels new or fresh. I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but I haven't been surprised by anything.
(except by what happenned to trap the Doctor and Sarah on the planet Exxilon in the first place)
