hay all just making a toot to get the ball rolling. Hope to meet many of you on here and talk tech and anything else. So hit me up and lets chat!!

just signed up. gotta fill out my profile, etc.

So, Europa Universalis 4 is one of my favourite games.
So I started to look at some interesting nations/countries to play and came Ajuran (EU4 uses the somali transliteration Ajuuraan)
It has some very nice ideas, basically strength you can use.
Naturally I read up on it, the history and how it came to be.
"In the 13th century AD, the Ajuran Empire was the only hydraulic empire in Africa. As an hydraulic empire, the Ajuran monopolized the water resources of the Shebelle and Jubba rivers."
In game terms it makes it easier to develop provinces.
I love alternative history, so what would have happened if Ajuuraan had colonized/settled large areas of land and expanded over the entire east coast of Africa?

Just a reminder how small and affordable computers are here is my #RaspberryPi zero next to an AA battery for scale. This Pi was bought for $1.

Please consider this: you have choices all day long about how you treat people. Every interaction can be kind, or it can be cruel, and the choice you make will have an effect on people you’ll never meet. Make a choice that you’ll feel good about.

My grandfather was son of a jewish mother and in the Wehrmacht. A year ago I got his picture diary and I decided to make it accessible to the internet. I left it mostly uncommented.

I decided for a new thread and not derailing the discussion there. <3

LIVE NOW: We’re about to launch a space laser that will circle Earth to measure ice! Firing 5,000 laser pulses in the blink of an eye, the upcoming #ICESat2 satellite will give us a precise + detailed look at how Earth’s ice is changing.

For everyone there is at least one game they would enjoy.
I play grand strategy games for one and a half decade, played shooters in the 90s love indie games with neat mechanics, cool artwork or just nice ideas.
I played Mechwarrior Online exessively in 2015/16 and met the nicest people. We had not much in common than speaking at least a bit of english and playing games.
I met a dozen americans, a scot, a englishman, a czech guy, two french, australians, austrians and one guy from spain. I met an ukrainian who became best buddies with a russian bloke.
Games can change your live when you are a part of an inclusive and cool group of people. They are normal people and you learn that really the most people you will ever meet are nice.
Whatever you like to play I hope you enjoy your time with it. I hope it enriches your life or gives you a new perspective.

just a heckin good boy lookin for some boosts

Hello Mastodon, I'm a newbie here and I'd love to know how many #eds #ehlersdanlossyndrome are there ? Hope to see more eds and #spoonie friends here 😋

Is anyone else here learning how to paint with #BobRoss? I've watched about 50 Joy of Paintings, and I've done three (bad) paintings of my own.

I'm slowly getting better at some things, but I'm still mostly incompetent, and I'm wondering if anyone else is learning, and has experiences or tips to share that have helped your learning curve?

Hello Everyone,
