This week was all about polish. You can interact with the trees, I introduced momentum when running and added a little effect to the feet, I decided to fully commit to the dodge roll. The bushes are my favortie though. #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #mazestalker

I don't know if there's really sufficient audience to justify this idea. Adventure games are a niche market already, so probably this would be a niche of a niche. But I'd play it.
'A Japanese government review in 2010 found that 82% of the people aged over 100 in Japan turned out to be dead. The secret to living to 110 was, don’t register your death.
According to the Greek minister that hands out the pensions, over 9,000 people over the age of 100 are dead and collecting a pension at the same time. In Italy, some 30,000 “living” pension recipients were found to be dead in 1997.'

A few big changes since last time - Yuqi and Sofi Tukker breaking into the Top 10 most listened to songs. Throw Some Ass is amazing and Yuqi's album "Yuq1," is nothing but bangers. Love that album too.
Still rising since the last time I did this is Babymetal and Electric Callboy's "Ratatata," which I definitely listen to a lot. Newly added Badvillain's "Badvillain" is also rising up fast with Everglow's "Colourz" getting close to the Top 20.
A few notes:
Most listened to artist of 2024 so far: Fall Out Boy.
Most Listened to Album of 2024: Itzy's Born to Be.
Which makes sense, especially when you look at my most listened to tracks.
This is always interesting...to me, to check.

This may be an unpopular opinion but the DNC doesn't need any more of your money. Consider prioritizing your donations on groups laser-focused on voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives in key battleground districts and states.
Maybe some commenters here have specific suggestions worth considering (but please vet them first to make sure they work for you!).
"Rather than building a family and contributing to the God-gifted structure of a home with many children, more and more young males are declining to fulfill their natural roles and instead seek purpose through careers and other personal ambitions."

📝 I set off to find the best way to make video with transparency work on the web.
Over 10 bug reports later, it turns out it's better to handle the transparency manually with WebGL. Here's how:
TL:DR Urine is not sterile.
Sorry for this post but I have nearly been a dreaded reply-guy or akshully-man so many times & I cannot take it any more.
I analyse urine under a microscope literally every day. It isn’t sterile. It always contains either cells (metaplastic squamous, urothelial or inflammatory) bacteria, parasites, crystals or other artefacts. It is rarely Ph-neutral (the term uric acid gives one a clue).
Niche rant but this is Mastodon. I just couldn’t take it anymore.
We're not just an Instagram alternative!
Collections allow you to group posts together, like a recent trip, or a bunch of recipes (like Pinterest)
Portfolios highlight a curated list of your posts with a unique URL and customization (like DeviantArt)
Groups are a way to explore communities based on shared interests/topics (like Flickr)
We continue to develop features for artists, photographers and everyone in between! ✨
