Folks with ADHD, how did you feel when the acronyms shifted, and instead of having #ADD and #ADHD, now the "correct" term is ADHD?
When I was diagnosed in 2000, it was largely because they'd finally discovered that ADD without hyperactivity was a thing, and that girls/women presented as inattentive more often than hyperactive (thus why they were often overlooked). It still feels inaccurate every time I write "ADHD" in reference to myself (yet often get corrected if I use "ADD").

Devs left with tough choices as Warner Bros. ends all Adult Swim Games downloads
Some can relist games on Steam or consoles—but without reviews or fan content.

Visualization progress: when one shape is partially obscured by another, we can now sort of see an outline of where the obscured part of the shape might be, as if it's a subtle difference in lighting. -Nikki
coining "hydroamory" for people who want only one partner, but are cool with their partner having other partners (after hydrogen)
My favorite film, Everything Everywhere All At Once, is on Netflix now. In case anyone was waiting to see it.
I can now play "block faker" in game mode on my steam deck (via ruffle.js), and I've set up custom assets for it.
I have gotten way too into SteamGridDB. First just idly wondering if some game has artwork and browsing, now making my own custom artwork for an obscure game. I'm actually having fun making the silly menus look nice. -Cole

It turns out that Odysseus landed on the Moon without any altimetry data

It's so much better. I'm not accidentally hitting buttons I don't intend to. There's actual resistance which makes it much easier to release buttons (doesn't require actively lifting toes). I'm actually making the inputs I intend (on my right foot at least), and it makes it so much easier.

I went offline for a bit to adjust the controller but I'm back

One of the great gifts of being trans is that if you find one area of your life that you must drastically change in order to live as your authentic self, you can keep pulling on the strings until all the bullshit society imposed on you unravels.
Sure can be exhausting though.

right to repair includes yourself
Seems like internally asking "what would this look like if we could visualize it well?" is resulting in better visualization than the direct approach. -iore

Pros of being gay: girls
Cons of being gay: girls are so pretty it's hard to form the words necessary to talk to them

FUCK @dasharez0ne, if you have a scrap of dignity and give a fuck about trans people? Spread this far and wide.
Below is a Google Doc discussing how the trans person that was behind
it got chased out by the transphobic asshole running things now. Oh, and how she got cut out of getting almost any money from that highly successful Kickstarter campaign.
They don't deserve your time or dimes. Spread the word everybody, Da Sharez0ne is DONE.

I kinda hate the online CI thing where I have to push a branch and have a server run my code just to test it.
plurality, hypnokink
Amazing how much two people can mess with each other when they live in the same brain AND they're both hypnokinky AND they fully trust each other. Anyway, Cedar is a very good and cute tree and I'm sure the nap I decided they'd be taking will be over soon. -iore
