@melissawm @ogi right there with you — my wrap up was 84h total, and my first game was in March! 🥲 Here’s to a better 2025!!! ❤️🥃

@ogi @melissawm I don’t usually read reviews either, other than basic vibes checks/gameplay videos, this was just a comment in my masto feed.

At any rate I’m impressed it’s in your top three most played games and you haven’t finished it. 😃 Also do I understand correctly you still haven’t played Origami King???

@melissawm I saw a rant about the final boss fight in echoes of wisdom and it put me off the whole thing — what did you think?

Shout out to @takluyver’s h5glance, which let me figure out in seconds how to get the data I needed from a .h5oina file in seconds, after my eyes quickly glazed over looking at the actual file specification 😵💫😂

An essential tool if you work with HDF5 files!

@powersoffour ouch LOL. Reminds me of some activity my brother-in-law and I offered his 10yo, I forget what, and she goes, “no thanks I’ve still got some masking tape to peel off” 🔪🫀

I *hate* how dominant #Python black has become with its terrible formatting choices. I get it, it's nice to not have to think about formatting, just like it's nice to write markdown and let the renderer/theme make things pretty. But black is the equivalent of a markdown engine that only allows one theme, and the theme adds a paragraph break on every hyperlink.

btw feel free to post your celebration pictures! 🥳🎂

My local café ran out of my favourite pastries so I decided to celebrate by pulling out my precious and fading Janelia *Farm* mug #history, where I met @royerlab and @sofroniewn many years before we started @napari.

I'm about as good at latte art as I am at GUI coding 😅, but my PhD student/napari core dev/napari steering council member/all around amazing person Draga Doncila Pop is better at both so we are in good hands folks! 😅

Ok I'll start. 🥳 Can't narrow it down to one but I can do my two favourite things:

(a) Lucien Hinderling using napari in a closed loop of acquisition -> segmentation -> interaction -> control 🔁: https://twitter.com/lhinderling/status/1484311795938381825 we always envisioned this but thought would take a lot longer to happen!

(b) that time @sirhc took a still-unfinished 3D progressive loading demo by @kisharrington and used it to look at a huge cosmological simulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofoURuz-Cbw 🤯

@powersoffour @melissawm oh this is fine! Screw’em! Didn’t watch the new Total Recall or the new Dredd, I just won’t watch this either. 😂 I was just scared that the studios might be giving it the ✨George Lucas Touch.✨ 😅

@melissawm oh no, what have they done? Can one still watch the original??? I am (inexplicably) yet to watch it but it remains on my to-watch list.

@powersoffour a photo is clearly required by basic netiquette.

@powersoffour what’s the book!

It’s been a while for me — The Martian, Project Hail Mary, and Death’s End all took me to 3-4am.

@powersoffour I am sad because I like all those humans but got zero references. 😢

@powersoffour the problem with a toot like this is that literally every* software author will wonder if you are talking about their software and it’ll eat them up inside 😅
