God I hate the macOS desktop. Used to be not bad but it is just so janky these days, and has been for a couple of years. It does this every time I unplug from external monitors. The desktops are the wrong size. Windows go permanently missing. It's worse than Windows managed to be.

Gonna play games. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

MULDER [slapping down plane tix]: Hope you packed your rain coat, Scully. SCULLY: Seattle? Mulder it's the weekend, what- MULDER [handing her a file] Confirmed sightings, Scully. This is big SCULLY [eyes wide]: My God Mulder, what am I looking at here? MULDER: The locals are calling it.. JIMOTHY

I'm still trying to understand what the "all" in "all-electric fleet" means. I do not think it means "all their planes will be electric". I think it means "all of some of their planes will be electric". Or maybe "some of their planes will be only-electric, other planes will be normal".

I do experience a certain amount of dissonance simultaneously trying to hold "Manchester is not the north" and "People vote, not land". Like, I do hate feeling like an afterthought but at the same time I am pretty sure everyone living there is in the northernmost half of the population of the UK.

Does bluesky have any search operators to search replies of a specific post (transitively)? E.g. a post goes viral and has hundreds of replies, many spawning off their own conversation threads. Can I scope a search to this tree? Or to the top level replies or to everything under the same root?

Is colour theory actually real or kinda like numerology? Like, the colour wheels seem kinda arbitrary. Is yellow opposite purple, or blue? Is green opposite red or orange? What's the right amount of the wheel to dedicate to green-blues or to purples? Are the blue-purples nearly black for no reason?

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

Why does it slosh? Well, other than to look nice, I've got a Y resolution of maybe 20 pixels. The sloshing means there aren't artificially large visual jumps between some steps.

Discord why the fuck do you need 1.4TB of virtual memory. What are you *doing* with your address space?

Did Good Law Project hire Halimede to run this campaign

Exhausted from a big weekend but I need to stream or I will go crazy. Let's stumble through some puzzles. Starting in 5 or 10 minutes. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

There's this old TEDx video with a guy explaining how to dry your hand with one paper towel and it kinda drives me crazy because there's no real theory behind it. Shake your hands a lot (okay) and fold the towel in half. I think one side of the folded towel is in contact with each hand.

In Sonic the Hedgehog, if you hold down a button during the attract and ending sequence demos, Sonic cannot jump and it desyncs. Just as the demo fades out this pole in a Labyrinth Zone water current snaps. Can this be seen in normal play?

Angel's Egg. Unsettling. Innocence/hope/life/future egg-keeping water-gathering girl. Wanderer/soldier/messiah/omen man. Futile harpoons. An army without life, harpooning fish without substance. Impotent.

I had a nice time at GIGF. Maybe next year I'll have more energy. Didn't manage to play everything I wanted to, but I played: He Who Watches Dissimulation Morse Rhell Sharts Sheep Wrangler Trans Theft Horso The Invisible Casino Coco's Revenge A golf thing on string lights A synthy/visuals machine.

Chameleon game is fun. But oh gosh I am bad at seeing and searching.

12am and 12pm are not real times stop pretending that they are. "Yes, the 12 after noon, that's noon, and the 12 before noon, that's midnight. The number rolls over an hour later." What are you talking about buddy. Just say noon and midnight. Use 24 hour time. You don't have to live like this.

"shortly after take-off when a passenger window dislodged inflight" I'm just gonna say... if your passenger was sucked head and shoulders out the window, "dislodged" reassures me less than "broke" or even "exploded". "Dislodged" makes it sound like they're just kinda loosely balanced there.

Pico-8 has such wonderful control codes. Newline. Tab. Change text colour. Move the cursor. Play a sound. Switch font. Write arbitrary data to an arbitrary address in RAM. Double width characters. Clear the screen.

We are thrilled to share that we have bundled The Séance of Blake Manor with folk horror narrative-driven adventure The Excavation of Hob's Barrow. Read all the details and buy the bundle: https://bit.ly/3SEvIqK

Some puzzles, maybe some cute robots. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Geez I hope anyone getting sent into that crumpling New York building to shore it up gets paid life changing amounts of money.

As someone who has never played chess online, it's really weird seeing the way people talk about learning chess in terms of accuracy in such absolute terms. I feel like I learned the game in the dark.

I got a little too into drawing the stream preview and never got around to streaming last night... Starting soon, Thinky Dailies and NieR: Automata. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

I miss vegan meat-like protein chunks. Come back, Vegetarian Butcher. 😢

Minions confirmed not working for Hitler. They *were* working for Mussolini, but got lost in a stricken submarine and ended up stranded on a small Japanese island, where they spent a number of years working for a witch.

Look at this beautiful creature that wandered into my bathroom last night. I think it was a Swallow-tailed Moth.

that feeding coyotes meme but it's just institutions feeding your data to every harmful actor out there

i have been restoring victorian floorboards; @weeble.bsky.social has been drawing googly eyes on them

I feel so guilty missing work again when I'm "better" and then I walk to the chemist and back and feel like I ran 10km. Okay maybe I am worrying about the wrong things here.

I need to do *something* so I'm gonna stream a little bit. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

beta-test my legally distinct polyomino stacking puzzle game: lynn.github.io/tetra.html

I followed some of the Amazing Digital Circus discussion and... I feel disappointed. It deserves better than "did character X get what they deserved". I just... I don't think every character's existence begins and ends with teaching you a moral lesson.

Okay so I am kind of a sucker for this format even though it's always, like, a tiny quantity of data with a single test subject, but *setting that aside* I have a bone to pick with the blind taste test methodology. youtu.be/X1QgbYxe9GI

God how do you turn these things off

Also, to be clear, I like answering "jq noob questions"!

Bluesky should have PTO where if you aren't feeling well enough to post you can still get like 200 likes for the day

When did "being trespassed" with the apparent meaning "being formally notified that you are barred from a location and will be arrested if you return" come about? Is it specifically a US thing? A police jargon thing? It seems kinda back to front from the normal meaning of "trespass".

If you're wondering where I am, I've been sick since Wednesday and doing as little as possible. Beginning to recover now, but still feeling pretty unpleasant. Send flowers, soup, warm thoughts and/or jq questions.

please play the game that has 80 positive reviews that say things like "cute lesbians!" and "fun and challenging bosses" and "emotionally devastating" and exactly 1 negative review that says "not as good as papers please"

fixed your headline

Whatever let's play NieR: A or something. twitch.tv/clocworknettie

They really went and combined Cube and Raggy Dolls.

Okay but like we're all thinking the same thing, right? What possible confluence of events would lead a human to write this email?

I think I shall play some more Mina after a few puzzles. (Although I may change my mind and play Nier if I get frustrated.) twitch.tv/clockworknet...
