I'm still watching some stuff (when it's linked to me, or if I think about a specific person's vids), but I'm not spending time on just "watching youtube" anymore.
it's amazing how after just a month-ish of not watching youtube videos, I no longer have any desire to watch youtube videos at all.
When I open my subscriptions page? It's the same stuff that interested and engaged me before, but I have no impulse in me to watch any of it, and in fact it mostly feels rather off-putting.
hello sweetlings, softlings, and otherlings!

Reminder that I was advised to age down the characters in BOOKS & BONE to children because it was too silly and light-hearted for adults.
This was, of course, nonsense.
Please write more fun, light-hearted fantasy for adults. Make it cute and sweet and funny.
Because my book is light for its content matter but it's not *that* light.
And the idea that when we become adults, we must only consume the dark and gritty is both ridiculous and sad.
The Light Keeps Us Safe, initial impressions
It's this weird mix between
a really strong aesthetic, and interesting stealth gameplay mixed with mechanics about light
and
an interface that makes it feel like they didn't think the game was worth the effort to just polish it a little bit more.
The Light Keeps Us Safe, initial impressions
Things that feel Early-access-y:
It has dialogue, but it doesn't have subtitles.
The main menu and loading screens have text at the bottom of the screen telling you what version number it is.
There's a mechanic for scanning your environment for reasources. Pressing the key doesn't do anything that visually looks like a scan - floating icons that represent where resources are just appear.
The health and food bar look like placeholders.
The Light Keeps Us Safe, initial impressions
• The game has an amazing atmosphere
• It's very tense (it's so tense I had to stop playing after only 20 minutes or so, but that's probably exasperated by my current sitch)
• It's very pretty
• Despite coming out of early access.... it feels like it's still an early access game - the last few touches that are needed just aren't there. (cont)

This is Fork Mask.
He wears a big fork as a mask, his head is a pincushion packed with forks, and he carries a large combat fork as a staff that can fire fork missiles.

Amazing.
I have the Zoom client installed on my computer (the only things I use it for don't need encryption). And every time I leave the computer for any length of time, when I come back, the Zoom client has started on its own.
It's not a specific interval. It's not a specific time. It just seems to be any time I'm away from the computer for more than 15 minutes; when I wake the computer back up, Zoom's sitting there, waiting.
I check running daemons, I poke at background tasks - nothing.
Finally, it occurs to me: "when I wake the computer up". So on a hunch, I check xscreensaver - which has an oooold screensaver called "zoom". I don't have that screensaver installed, but it's listed in the possible screensavers, so xscreensaver checks for it - and it doesn't just check the screensavers directory, it checks $PATH too.
I remove the "zoom" line from ~/.xscreensaver - and the problem goes away.

fancy 744 indie games for a pay what you want price? ($5 minimum), all for charity?

Epic Games Store and money
(the reason I brought this up is that Metro Exodus is currently on sale on both GOG and EGS, and I'm trying to decide if saving $10 extra is worth being locked into this platform)
Epic Games Store and money
I'm… slightly worried about the Epic Games Store.
Their current "megasale" has a special deal going, where *everyone* gets a $10 coupon just for signing in.
And if you use that coupon to get $10 off a game purchase.... you get another $10 coupon to use.
This (along with the weekly free games) doesn't seem like a financially viable idea…
It seems like they're desperately hoping for customers.
What's going to happen to all the games people bought if EGS stops working?

By which I mean, here's something I've started working on in CS:GO, on the side
I've reconstructed 90%+ of the layout using real estate photographs and satellite images. Probably a little overscaled but I'm building for big beefy shootmans, so I figure it's in my best interests.

okay so, you may or may not have seen this good post about an extremely wack 1970s house in Newnan, GA

what's important is that people were joking about how it looked like an FPS map, and, well...
