i would appreciate all the downtime i have at work if i felt like i could actually do anything with it. the phone is easy to put down when i hear somebody coming. a game system is harder.
the instant i try to start playing a fire emblem map is when the boss homes in and wants to know what's going on. even though i copy him in on everything.

I have two (2!!!) portraits by @mavica_again, one in each of the styles that it currently offers ("MS-DOS Executive" and "Finder Icon") and I love them. mavica is really good at channeling a person's likeness down into a grid of curiously expressive pixels. You should commission it! https://maple.pet/commissions

So here's a random thing that I learnt yesterday. Compasses are region-specific and the needle will "stick" if a normal compass is used in the wrong region! Australia and New Zealand are in magnetic zone 5. If you want a #compass that works anywhere in the world, it needs to have a "global needle", which is built a bit differently to account for the problem of the magnet aiming directly through the earth to magnetic north and dragging the needle down with it.
It certainly is a morning.

Since Fandom apparently intends to remove text walkthroughs from GameFAQs (which Fandom now owns), a tip of the hat to Reddit user DataHoarder, who scraped all of GameFAQs up through March 23, 2020; the full archive is available here: https://archive.org/details/Gamespot_Gamefaqs_TXTs

The megaphone on its own can produce some earthquake-inducing sound blasts, what happens if you yell into it and amplify that?
I know it's important that masto/the fediverse is a semi open communication standard and not just One Company With One Website, but I don't like having to keep another tab open to copy and paste a person's URL into (and in some cases still not be able to find them to follow).
Maybe it'll pass, like any other growing pains.
I think I would use some of these alternative social medias more often if they weren't pains in the ass. Mainly talking about Cohost here, they don't yet have a nice login management system so any time I log on from another device it logs the other one out.
Mastodon seems fine in that regard so far but following people off-instance sucks a lot.
