Yea, there are a lot of writers who have gone back to dedicated writing machines because of this. Things like the Freewrite. Also means you have to manually transfer research content so its more firm in your mind.

Very much same. I was an art kid. I painted and wrote and sang and played music, fast forward 30 years and I’m on a computer for 8ish hours at work, then another 8ish hours at home then sleep, with phone time scattered through out.

On the flip side, I’m hopeful that the large scale waste people have will finally drive more local filament recycling services.

Yup, it has a --cookies flag to either use an exported cookies file from your browser, or if using Firefox just tell it and it’ll grab it automagically.

Except Finland is a country and Texas is just one state in a country. That’s where the confusion usually results.

Yea, the creation of sites like neocities is such a fun return to oldweb and the joys of relearning html and creating a static site. And tools like Jekyll for generating and maintaining your own blog are great

Dave’s youtube channel is great for these stories from back in the day. Link for the lazy: https://www.youtube.com/@DavesGarage

the same fucking idiots that believe sky daddy made them through “intelligent design”

I do both. I use Obsidian to maintain lots of notes and links and such. But I also carry a fountain pen and a notebook in my pocket. I find when I write stuff down in there I tend to remember it more. I also carry an A5 notebook at work to take down work notes and track my todo’s. More productive, looks better in meetings, and I’m less likely to get distracted by notifications or the draw of apps/social-media.

Lots of times I’ll do a drawing of dimensions or an idea, then I’ll take a picture of that and throw it in Obsidian later. Also if it’s a note that I want to keep later I’ll transcribe it into my digital notes.

I just enjoy the act of writing and getting to own a pen that I won’t just lose or loan away. I’ll also pick up old notebooks sometimes and be reminded of things I wanted to do or ideas I had that got missed, and the reminder is way more tangible and impacting that being reminded by found digital notes. It comes with the tactile memories as well.

automatic response, same as when someone says “how’s it going” to a cashier, and the person responds “good”. this interaction rarely means anything other than formality. The person asking doesn’t usually want to know, and the person responding doesn’t usually want to tell

I chose engineering, and when I started I loved it, but eventually I ended up working in places I didn’t like, on jobs that made me feel dirty, but now I don’t know any other way to maintain the lifestyle I’m accustomed to.

listen, i can get a burger for free out of dumpster, but I’d rather pay for one from the menu.

yup. [email protected]

that is a fantastic build. and the wax lacing! It’s such a lost art, but it works so damn well! Next PC build I do I’m lacing all of my cabling.

I feel like there’s a collision of fetishes here about to start paying for your yarn habit.

huh, I always felt it was kinda dead.

yea, I love the hidden 8 bit levels and getting the pixelated items and such.

yea, I did the same thing. Switch version is garbage. PC version is fantastic, and it runs great on the steam deck.

Also Bomb Rush Cyberfunk just came out and it’s an amazing homage to JSR. Highly recommend. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1353230/Bomb_Rush_Cyberfunk/
