@sinvega When my last 15+ year old PC could no longer be coaxed into working I made a conscious break with that mindset and got a mini PC that costs less than most gamer GPUs.

The vast majority of what I play is not very demanding at all.

It's tiny, silent and plays 99% of what I want to play. It's a relief to not be concerned with any of that *bullshit*.

I'm no Marvel fan but I am enjoying eventually playing Midnight Suns.

Ever with my finger on the technological pulse, I've written about the 41 year old xterm.

@me @ChrisWere @LoganFive awwww <3 Well I think *you're* cool.

@clarity Wait these people in the *flyoever states* whose culture and way of life we've been denigrating for decades as they grow all our food don't like us? Weird, they must all be racists.

Also, yeah, I think the US became predominantly urban in like 1920...

@sinvega If that's for one person its insane. I mean aside from anything else who eats an entire jar of mayonnaise in a week.

But yeah I'm a fellow poor.

@sinvega Yeah for sure. And yeah it's about 4x what I spend on food. If I *could* I'd spend that much. But not that volume.

I wrote a thing about emojis are shit called emojis are shit.

@aral Literally the only time I hear about Bluesky (or Twitter) is when someone boosts a post like this telling me not to think about Bluesky (or Twitter).

It's like The Game for fuck's sake.

The rest of us weren't suckered into "building things" for Twitter. And we weren't thinking about Bluesky until you told us not to.

@clarity I had no idea piano would be so popular. I feel so *mainstream*.

@clarity Really can't think of many that do it with any depth. Dwarf Fortress standing out, of course.

Unless *shooting* counts as a social interaction, then loads.

Oh, Crusader Kings of course.

@malin Some of those look good!

If you don't have an eye for it, things like this can help:

Just set it to tetradic and then move the circles around until you're happy.

General tip: Make sure all the colours have (either actually or perceptually) the same level of saturation and lightness. And avoid pure primaries/secondaries, they tend to look "cheap".
