Dragon Centre in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong
  • Hell yeah Sham Shui Po

    This same district also has a claustrophobic shopping centre called the Golden Computer Arcade. It's a tech retail cluster so tech things are often cheaper there.

  • That's cbonsai. It makes for a good screensaver as well

    Decided to actually put in effort and tried to dotfile with Hyprland and Waybar. It turned out pretty well!

    If you think the wallpaper looks disconnected, that's because I actually have a diagonal monitor setup. !

    Insurrection act — April 20th. Pls read!
  • 1 to 7 of the playbook is just what happened in HK

  • A begrudging defense of Nintendo’s “Game-Key cards” for the Switch 2
  • And then the even darker concern is bit rot. No form of physical media is permanent.

    And that's why we make "backups" :>

  • Nintendo pulls Switch 2 pre-orders in US over Trump tariffs
  • The retail price in Hong Kong is somewhat close to the US. Base costs HKD3450, which is about USD442

  • That really got out of hand fast
  • 🎶 The Dow Jones just fell down to zero
    🎵 And it's gonna be a fine, swell day

  • The Channel Directory - Discover new content!
  • Can I get on the list? :>
    Been streaming games (mostly Splatoon) on my channel

  • they have played us for absolute fools
  • Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap

  • Zoomers & Boomers are the same
  • That sounds like gen alpha more than late zoomer. Perhaps they are simply too close in time to gen alpha.

  • You're reading this from one or the other
  • Technically, Aren'tgentina includes EVERYTHING except Argentina, like the ocean, Mars, and any point in the universe.

  • Nintendo files patent for a graphical presentation similar to HD-2D
  • This is done for the Code of Honor. Basically, to avoid patents being used against the gaming industry, video game companies file patents for a lot of different game design concept, so all developers can freely implement these mechanics without getting sued.

  • My name's initials (NW) and a Chinese slang (西北風).

    西北風 means north-west wind (translated by character, "west north wind"). Other than its meaning in weather, people would often use "eat north-west wind" (食西北風, Cantonese) or "drink north-west wind" (喝西北風, Mandarin) to mean running out of business.

    I have been using this name ever since I learnt that diagonal compass directions in Chinese and English are flipped, like "west north" becomes "north-west" here.

  • Just Imagine
  • I just finished lunch and you made me consider an afternoon nap

  • They are lying to us
  • It's a nice planet that is commonly misunderstood

  • Your favourite season?
  • Autumn. The monsoon shifts so it's starting to get dry and the heat is dying out.

    Spring is too wet, summer is too hot, winter is too dry.

  • If you see this message in your DMs...
  • I've seen so many posts about this, but this is the first time I realized the last line links to a chat room called "hell"

  • anyone ever get a spam message from someone named "Nicole?"
  • A lot of people did. Like almost everyone knows it's a scam and people have been shitposting it and forming a cult

  • Additionally, he needs to be open about his own emotions

    I have recently experienced that with my dad and I found it quite important

    Fun fact: "Fishing" also means nodding off in Cantonese

    Week 7: Put a Bird on It - Don't Panic!

    Afternoon City

    This was taken on March 12, 2024, on a little hill in Shatin, Hong Kong.

    I'm a university student and the schedule isn't always the best, so I often go "hiking" during 2-hour breaks because the campus is built on the hill.

    It was a sunny day and I walked up slope to a higher class residential area (outside campus). I saw this awesome view on a turn. This is one of my favorite photos from hiking.

    Week 3: Wet - Raincoat Inklings

    These 2 inklings are called Integrelle (yellow) and Summatia (blue). The duo is basically Kiki and Bouba. Integrelle loves rainy days despite being an inkling, and Summatia is here to make sure she doesn't get hurt by the rain.

    I make vector arts/animations! This is an SVG and because of that, I can give you the source code! GitHub Gist

    Why do you hate "blockchain"?

    If you are gonna downvote, say something.

    I can't tell if you're downvoting because you saw the word "blockchain", or you really love it.

    I'm using quotes in the title, because I suspect a major amount of people use the word "blockchain" loosely to refer to other related things. If you are willing to, please provide a definition of what you mean by "blockchain" as well.

    I code stuff. I draw stuff.

    I'm a Hongkonger 🇭🇰 If you're a westerner coming here because you're arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.
