  • I’ve been on Pokopia all summer, really since it came our. Baby has been going through sleep regression this week, so I’ve only been playing this game from the F-droid app store…

    Its called BIM! You’re a silly little prince boy and you have to drop a bomb on the other silly prince boys in the yard. Simple mechanics, alpha stage, not too many powerups. But there’s a barrel that you can wear so that you can get bombed once. I don’t think it was the creators intent, but there’s a short time after you lose your barrel where youre fully immune. It feels exploitive of the rules, but its really fun, because you can infinitely drop exploding bombs, allowing you to blitz your opponent by blasting your way through the board or even hunting them down and blowing them up.

    I hope the creator embraces the exploit and introduces a foil/counter to it. Because its a blast!


  • Dude. I’m so proud of you.

    I told my dad, “love you” as I was hanging up tbs phone today. It felt weird.

    Did you feel supported by your dad? It sounds like your old man was telling you it’s no trouble to him, maybe neglecting to consider how big a deal it is for you to come out and say it. It sounds like absolute love.

    Momma’s gonna come around too. She’s probably most worried about the hate in the world - mama bears are wild.

    I’m seriously so proud of you though.







  • I get, to the degree that I can get, what you’re saying.

    I had a friend that I knew all through college, she started her transition probably 6 months before posting on facebook with about a paragraph explaining the pertinent stuff, but what has always stuck out to me was that she wrote something to the extent of “I am, and always have been a woman” or something to that degree. She then proceeded to post pictures of herself and she looked the happiest she ever has looked before. The whole time I’d known her, I never would have guessed.

    If you think your parents will be supportive in general, then they will want you to be haply.

    “I have known this for a while now. I am, and always have been a woman. I am happy, I am safe, I am content. Please support me by calling me ____”


  • As someone that has worked in data centers and now is working adjacent to data centers (and I make a higher salary because of data centers), greenhouse emissions isn’t so much the problem.

    The bigger problem is that planned data centers are are demanding more power than exists on the grid. This is setting us back from our plans to greenify the grid, like the article mentioned, it’s causing coal plants to remain open.

    While there will be a need for data centers, and even AI data centers, the reality is that we are in an AI bubble right now. While probably near every data center in existence right now, will probably continue to be operated, many of the data centers being built in the next 5 will not. Understanding where the data center industry will be in 5 years is key to understanding how we should maintain and improve our grid. Right now we are on a path to rolling blackouts, and that will increase emissions too, and generally make life worse for everyone.
