See, things didn't start with Reddit or even with Usenet. This kind of stuff has always been with us, it just gets easier to see as tech progresses.

Samesies. Gonna pull a submarine until January, nothing but art and zaza.

Edit: included "games" under "art":))

But is it going to be quite alright and proper? 🧐

[–] Agent641 2 points 1 week ago

Until M.K. arrives

[–] latenightnoir 1 points 1 week ago

In terms of "content," most certainly! Both aspects!:))

In terms of activity, I've been looking forward to some alone time for a couple of years now, so it's perfection incarnate.

If this was a reference, I missed it completely!=))

hell yea

making games or playing games?

[–] latenightnoir 8 points 1 week ago

Playing vidya, continuing to write my cyberpunk-y D&D campaign/epic (which will most likely devolve into something completely different 30 minutes into actually playing it, but it is what it is!:)) )

That, and I REALLY need to practice playing the bass, get back in the groove.

I’ll be whoopee. My partner and I have been very lax on that (depression?) but we plan to get all fucked up on drugs and get nasty. Stupid holidays.

FDR is in office. The Social Security Act is signed
Worst of the Dust Bowl heat wave. 109℉ in Chicago
The Labor Day hurricane, a category 5, hits the Florida Keys
The Helena earthquake hits at 6.5 in Montana.

Rough year. No wonder everyone sounds like the COVID-19 lockdown.

99° F (37° C) in Chicago last summer was a catastrophe. And there was even air conditioning which took the edge off after trudging through sidewalks that had begun to stick to my shoes. I cannot even imagine a 1930s 109° F (43° C).

Catch up on Parchesi? Like he's misses some big developments on it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Probably some big changes in the meta that semester.
