Crazy times with the crew
  • indeed

  • Is there is any interesting free Json Feeds/ Apis?
  • I was wondering the same thing, I wanted to add JSON Feed support to an app I'm writing but couldn't find any examples of it in the wild, and Google was no help. Good to know that NPR has one, though.

  • You are all the best things and more.
  • I WANT IT THAT WAY

  • TIL there's an Arkansas City in Kansas, and Arkansas is pronounced with the 's' so it rhymes with "Kansas"
  • My extended family is from a tiny Ohio hill town named Antioch, pronounced "annie-OCK".

  • Anyone interested in a book club?
  • I'd be up for it. Haven't worked on games for a while, but I'd like to get back to it.

  • MIT researchers discover "photomolecular effect": light alone can evaporate water without heat, a previously unknown physics phenomenon that could enable new technologies
    news.mit.edu How light can vaporize water without the need for heat

    MIT researchers discovered that light can cause evaporation of water from a surface without the need for heat. This “photomolecular effect” could be important for understanding climate change and for improving some industrial processes.

    What are your favourite open source games?
  • I'm surprised hardly anyone else has mentioned Wesnoth yet. I last played it over a decade ago, so I'm not sure if it's still as well-known now as it used to be, but it's one of the highest-quality open-source games out there.

    It's a turn-based fantasy strategy game that feels like a combination of Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, and D&D. And I suppose it was a lot more unique back in the 2000's when there weren't a dozen indie games out there that fit the same description.

  • New 2D Mario game announced, Not calling it Super Mario LSD was a swing and a miss
  • Same. My wife isn't much of a gamer but NSMB Wii and NSMBU are some of the only games we'll play together and really enjoy. I think I'd actually pay for subscription DLC for a NSMB-style game if it gave you a few new levels to play through every month or two.

    I hoped Mario Maker 2's user-generated content would feel like that, but the levels were so small and puzzle-focused that it really didn't work.

  • Super Mario RPG - Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023
  • They actually did it, the absolute madmen. As a kid I rented this over and over from Blockbuster but never finished it. Maybe now I finally will.

  • Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server?
  • I've had a private Matrix server for me and a few family members for years now. It doesn't federate, and I'm afraid to try, because I run it on a potato computer and I've heard horror stories of Synapse federation consuming hundreds of gigabytes of space.

    It's generally been stable and performant and really nice to use. The only problem is encryption: Element seems to forget keys sometimes and need to resync. And Matrix's whole e2ee system is arcane nonsense to anyone who's not extremely technical. Every time that happens, it's a long tech support call.

    The solution is to just not use encryption on chatrooms, which is fine, but DMs have to be encrypted so it still comes up sometimes.
