Heh, encountered quite a few empty spots in the aisles over at my closest supermarket.

Yeah, I shop at the AH, why do you ask? ;)

This modding is getting out of hand!
Now I'm sorting and redefining the Architect menu!

Just tried to empty my vacuum's bin... So. Much. Dust.

I don't think I've managed to empty it for reals, but at least I can vacuum again.

Oof, I'm not getting off this chair for the rest of the day. Walked around for 3,5 hours at the flea market on King's Day. I only scored 2 Donald Duck Pockets, damage was a mere 70 cent. :P No Loekie plushie to be seen alas.

Funny highlight: Saw a guy sitting with a sign saying 'Erg Matige Portretten' (very mediocre portraits). Had to laugh. ;)

Roads were jampacked with people. Often we had to stand still until we could continue again. There were like 90% trash for sale (as always). Some nice things too though, but not ones I'm interested in.

Surprisingly saw no LEGO, and not that many comics either. Lots of LPs though (singles), and shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Bunch of homemade goodies as well. And lots of clothes of all kinds. Some vintage stuff too.

Funny highlight: There was a guy sitting on a mat with like 5 pairs of new looking high heels on display, and he looked proud too, it was amusing to see.

There were a bunch of small orchestras too. Kids with violins, adults with cellos and some sort of flutes.

At the end we went to a toko to buy some Indonesian snacks for our freezers. Lempers and Dim Sums for me! Also bought delicious sate ayam street food in front of that store, it was close to perfection.

But right now I don't want to do this kind of stuff anymore. At least, not for one year. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Went out to dinner, and then on the way back home I saw hundreds of students walking towards the Stadspark. They're clearly going to be celebrating Koningsnacht soon. Some roads have been blocked for car traffic now. Good thing all the bike roads were perfectly accessible. :)

Always fun to see the side-effect of a server-wide suspension. :P

mstdn.social blocked qoto.org for a bit, so everybody from there that I was following is auto-unfollowed. They also likely auto-unfollowed me (without knowing, oh so fun. It's not like you get informed of your admin's actions automatically.)

I guess I'll have to see who I'm missing in my timeline? :P

Everybody’s dead, the game’s over. Whelp, I’ll have to make a new colony!

And maybe, just maybe, I shouldn’t uncover ancient dangers. But damn, it is exciting!

Minecraft Create rant 

I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate Create, the Minecraft mod. It is so fucking cumbersome, and too 'realistic'. This won't work, too much friction, not enough power at source, too fast it'll overheat! And then trying to figure out the 1000 cumbersome ways just to get a fucking gear rotating.

I WANT MAGIC BOXES! I grew up with Applied Energistics and Thermal Expansion machines. That's what I want. Not a gajillion rotating things in my base that takes up the space of the whole base itself! And if something doesn't work, you gotta disassemble everything and then reassemble everything! Oh fuck that!

For those who say 'Git Gud', I've managed before to have ComputerCraft interact with the Create Crafters so I can autocraft shit. BUT I HATED IT! I don't want to mess with gears and shit. I want to be ... PLAYING the actual game, you know?

Mm, doubling my page file size seems to have helped. It was set at half my RAM, and is now upped to the same size. Vivaldi and Minecraft were having memory issues together even though I still had plenty of RAM available.

At least I seem to be able to use Vivaldi now while Minecrafting. *knocks on wood*

For some reason Vivaldi (the browser) and Minecraft (the game, naturally) can't play nice together. If one runs, the other crashes. ๐Ÿคจ

This is highly inconvenient. I might actually need to use Edge while playing Minecraft.

Gorgeous weather today, so I went all out cleaning the trash containers, litterbox, etc. It's quite warm, so playing with the garden hose was fun.

And afterwards I decorated the new organic trash bin with a hippie floral pattern. ๐Ÿ˜ Hope those stickers have colors that's more fixed. My previous bin had a garden floral pattern and they all bleached white in the sun. Those were normal stickers though. The hippie one is more meant for sticking on windows, so they might last longer.

The official Mastodon app is doing something new which is potentially very dangerous to the existence of Mastodon and the Fediverse.

The official Mastodon app now prompts users to join mastodon.social by default, when previously it prompted them to pick a server. If you're new this may sound harmless, but let me explain.

The entire point of this place is to be a social network spread out on as many servers as possible (the reasons are here: fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse).

Ah, yes, of course, as if I'm not addicted enough to gaming. Buddy of mine feels Minecraft-y, and gave me a list of 4 modpacks and asked for my opinion.

Y'know, it's a good thing I actually have a 2-week holiday now. :P

Roombas with knives? Of course there would be a mod for that. I might just get this. ๐Ÿ˜‚

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles
Imagine a horde of Stabby Roombas heading towards you!

Also quite with the times, this mod; Armored backpacks, kid’s weapons. I guess everybody needs to be able to defend themselves in the rim. At least they have a good reason to own weapons. :P

By the way, for anyone still on twitter: The new privacy policy allows Elon to train AI on anything you post there, including text AND pictures.

So if I were an artist I'd get the hell off there, because legally you don't have a leg to stand on.

The organic trash bin got replaced this morning for a new one twice its size. ๐Ÿ˜€ Initially I wanted to fill it up tomorrow, but because of today's decent weather I decided to do it this afternoon already. So I've spent most of the afternoon filling it up to the brim.

At first I thought I would clear out half the trash pile that I already had in my backyard, but this container could take way more than I expected. I've actually completely cleared the pile now!

I know I'm going to pay for this dearly tomorrow (and now a bit already) with a lot of soreness. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Fortunately I have no plans for tomorrow, so I can perfectly wallow in my misery in peace. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Just took a bath because I felt all icky again. But at least the job is done!

Hehehe, I probably am going to be in a world of micromanagement pain soon. ๐Ÿ˜…

I finally bit the bullet. Got enough discounts going to dip below 20 euro at Fanatical, but now I finally have RimWorld - Biotech! I’m soooo going to enjoy this! I’m going to play it now!
