If gardening would yield achievements like gaming does, it'd be a lot easier to maintain my garden. :P

While checking old logs I stumbled on the Kittens Game again... https://kittensgame.com/web/#

An idle game involving kittens. I won't be held responsible if you're suddenly missing large chunks of your life. :P

Heh, why does it not surprise me to read that Player.me is going to shut down? That place went to the shitter after they made their intent clear to focus on streamers mostly and then we got flooded with 'plz follow my stream' spam in our timeline.

Actually, it's probably just as well because that led me to search for alternatives, and I ended up here in the Fediverse. :)

If any, I'm more surprised that they managed to survive for this long. That place was most fun somewhere before 2018, we had great gaming conversations then. Kinda miss that time a little.

Gosh, I really hate iPads.
I hate iOS.
I definitely hate iTunes.

Gosh, somehow I hate Apple software, they're way too dumbed down and don't even show progress indicators. Jeez. I'm wasting my time here!

Oh, right. Bitburner had an ASCII rickroll today. Fully animated too.

That was amusing and is well done.

I... am impressed by r/place on Reddit. At the start of the day it was just a few small loose pixel images, few flags, and mostly a mess.

Now it's a whole canvas full of flags, images, etc... Mostly flags. A shitton of flags.
https://www.reddit.com/r/place/

Heh, I remember there was a Russian flag at one point, but it totally got modified into a different country's flag.

The Ukrainian flag takes the full width now, whereas it was about halfway at first.

Way up there is a whole Dutch line, that's pretty cool. :D

1000 monkeys might not produce the works of Shakespeare, but they sure can make art!

A few years ago I pulled a nice April Fool's prank at my job.

I'm working in some sort of IT support, so I posted a message in the newsletter to the whole building that anyone could swing by on that day to receive a wireless mouse for free.

I was handing out mouse-shaped candy. Hey, they were wireless! ;)

Sometimes Reddit is outright amazing. There's this subreddit r/whatisthisthing where users post some unknown piece of stuff and ask the other Redditors to help them identify what it is...

This thread is just on another level! https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/ttbqtk/surgically_removed_from_my_cats_stomach_we_are_at/

Also scary to realize that cat water fountains aren't always safe for cats. :/ If you have one, make sure that there're no parts that can get loose!

I can definitely see there's a thin layer of snow everywhere... Including on my solar panels. There's no production at the moment, heh.

I guess I'm slowly getting into Python coding again. I just have set up Spyder to try out since I actually wasn't that terribly happy with Pycharm.

Spyder is a bit more hands-on, that's for sure. But on the other hand, if you have to do some actions behind the hood to get things working it also increases understanding in my opinion.

So I loaded up an old project I had and had to mess with the environment thingy to install the right modules for the project, and it actually ran. Wheee!

Ugghhkk... that was painful. Banged my head against the edge of the digiboard. :P

We're removing the excess cabling from that thing in this room. It's ridiculous how many cables there were.. I mean, it's like they wanted to pull this throughout the whole of this school or something. We've replaced them with more sane-length ones now.

At least we're not running short on cables now. :P

I think summertime's doing me in today. I'm so tired and so slow.

Probably doesn't help either that I played a horror puzzle game until just before bedtime... :P

Got Crash Drive 2 in a recent bundle. I completely played and finished Crash Drive 3 a few months ago and that was a blast. Crash Drive 2 is... well.. it's definitely looking older than 3, and there are less features.

The core gaming is the same though, just not as great an experience as with number 3. It'll be a little bit of a grind before I 100% all the achievements. Doable, just a bit repetitive because there is less variety.

If you love stunt racing, I definitely can recommend Crash Drive 3. Don't even bother with 2 unless you happen to get it in a bundle somehow.

Neat, Fanatical got their own Stand With Ukraine Charity Bundle at https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/stand-with-ukraine-charity-bundle

That's a fair amount of games in there for a great price. Lots of nice small games. 100% of the proceeds go to the Red Cross in Ukraine.

It sure is a very hot day today. I've underestimated the temperature on my morning's walk and had to take off my winter coat pretty quick.

Heh, in Bitburner you can visit the arcade in a city and play 'Megabyte burner 2000'....

Which is just Bitburner inside an smaller screen. :P Yay, time to go play an idle game inside an idle game! ;)

*Eyes the spambox*

Wow, there sure are a lot of Chinese engineers who hacked my device OS and saw me do lewd things...

They all also have non-Chinese names. :P
