@joshb I'm likely to publish at the end of the week, so I can't put this in the calendar of events without a date, but I can boost your request for submissions and then we can reference it in December.

@abstractcow holy fuck no no no who are these people?!

Cleaning out my lab really gives me an infuriated sense of perspective on just how incredibly wasteful my job (in firmware engineering) really can be. Just piles and piles of boards I'll never have time to repurpose. And FFS, WHERE DID ALL THESE CABLES COME FROM?!

I'm tucking in to writing the next #Owncast newsletter this week. If you've got some sort of show/event/whatever related to Owncast that'll happen between mid-November and mid-December and want more visibility, please either shoot me a message or reply in thread.

Boost for visibility, friends.

Of all the weird things for me to get temporarily obsessed with...I have bought a #yoyo and have been wasting way too much time teaching myself the tricks I couldn't figure out when I was a kid. It's a great fidget item, and plus it's in bi pride flag colors.

@KatS ahhh! Now I get it! I think it's a bit funny because the femme was a point of interest for me. Music was a safe space for my pre-egg-crack mind

@KatS But Nouvelle Vague is great! I saw them live in San Francisco about 10 years ago and it was both a concert and fashion show!

@pollbot For folx responding "Huh? What's that?", might I interest you in some back-issued of the #Owncast community newsletter?

@zinnia Probably my favorite "go" in modern metal

@djsundog "The past is a fiction."

Done.

Sometimes we feel unstable. Sometimes we feel like we're going to explode. Sometimes we have exploded.

I've caused a lot of damage in relationships over the years. Mania is a beast. But also, we are powerful.

That's what this song is about.

New single - "Back Away"

Happy Halloween!

@flexghost Really, this doesn't shock me at all. His video about how fascism is for losers kinda said it all.

@djsundog It all depends on what mode of access you're looking for, what flexibility in access you want, and what scale you're talking about. RDBMS took off in enterprise largely on the back of how they enabled extreme flexibility in their queries. If you don't mind having to co-design the data store and the way it's used, then you don't *need* RDBMS, but it can certainly help enable a more rapid development process too.

@mhd @malin I guess it's franchise-by-franchise. The traditions in Mage: The Ascension is, to me, a wonderful pastiche of the occult communities of the 90s and 00s.

@malin @mhd this is one of the things I enjoy about #WorldOfDarkness games. Their clan/tribe/tradition/etc colors your character's personality and social affiliations and give a guide to common character builds, but it doesn't force you to do anything a particular way. In fact, building out a character that bucks the stereotypes can be a ton of fun.

@MishaVanMollusq Ohhhhh yeaaaaahhhh.... (bomp bomp)

@MishaVanMollusq Unfortunately, that means we're stuck with him.

DUFFMAN! can never die. Only the actors who play DUFFMAN!

@MishaVanMollusq DUFFMAN!

@SmudgeTheInsultCat It was apparently for a mental health screening. Still bullshit, but not an upcharge for crying.

@StevenSavage I sincerely hope the news desks at Telemundo and Univision grabbed that ball and ran with it hard, because that is a place where it'll be hard to spin it with some new ad buys.
