The forgotten mug of tea is a scourge on British society as we know it, and any means necessary should, nay, must be used to prevent this, up to and including self-heating mugs. #ChangeMyMind

Nice 👌

FYI: Blahaj Lemmy, the instance which we are currently discussing, is also moderated as a safe space. Not entirely sure how you ended up here, but welcome all the same! :)

I'm a Lemmy user and use Firefox on desktop, and Jerboa For Lemmy on Android. :)

I also have Jerboa installed on desktop (thanks, Win11!) to try out but haven't really used it in earnest just yet.

Hi Jennifer, nice to meet you! 👋

Thank you so much for sharing this.

I am massively into software preservation, we've seen far too many games and programs go the way of the dodo recently. The thing about software preservation is that it isn't just about preserving the 0s and 1s, you have to also preserve a way to run them, and that can be a huge barrier to entry for people wanting to learn from or just enjoy past generations of games. Now, anyone with a modern browser can just click and play.

Thanks again for sharing this. <3

Y'know what, I've always called them LJZSITO, and I can find plenty of sources to support that, but I can't find an authoritative source for it. I feel like I'm about to go down a research rabbithole…

That would be amazing. :D

Jerboa doesn't support DMs yet, it's very new. Also, you should know that Lemmy's DMs are not at all secure, and federated just like public posts, meaning admins can read them if they choose to. I'd suggest you use something like Matrix (sometimes known as Element) to DM people. :)

This is fake. They do have names, but they are: L, J, Z, S, I, T, and O.

Same here, I haven't played it for a while but it's a kind of self-care game for me. I basically become an NPC. I pick a town and go there, then I make things. I use a small number of mods, most notably one that lets me order basically anything to be delivered to me to support my crafting. And when I get bored of crafting, I go gathering. There are so many chill parts of the game to enjoy. :)

Oh good, I've wanted to try coding a little closer to the metal for a while now!

You could try https://www.eweka.nl/ which is a subscription service but apparently has a free trial. Maybe the old Free Trial Cancel strategy might work?

My own personal favourite character, Shadow the Hedgehog, debuted in Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast on this day in 2001.

(Although I got it a couple of days earlier thanks to having friends who worked for HMV ;) )

I agree. Anyone who's surprised that snoosite is spreading misinformation hasn't been paying attention. It sucks. But at least we have the fediverse. :)

I do. I had two games on there that I haven't been able to find since.

• A silly game called Office DisOrders which was basically an early visual novel about busywork
• A jigsaw game which I seem to recall is called Square Jigsaw (or something?) that had a really cool feature I haven't seen before or since - fractal jigsaws. You could do really huge jigsaws quite easily with that, it'd break larger puzzles down into smaller jigsaw-piece-shaped puzzles, then after you'd completed each of those puzzles, you'd assemble them into the final image.

Colloquially it means "If you'd kept your mouth shut, we might've thought you were clever."

It's my favourite Latin phrase, and not directed at you btw. :)

Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses.

NTA but be mindful of Chatty's terms of use. You have to make sure you respect their boundaries. :)
