i have never in my life heard turkish delight referred to as "Narnia Cubes" but this is probably what i'm calling em from now on every tech worker out there whose "i donate to democrats" CEO is taking off his mask today to muhaha and show his true class solidarity: the thing that would ruin his life the most is for you to help unionize your workplace. do it for the very real benefits to you and your comrades, or do it out of spite, or any combination of either. but it's time, now (overdue, in fact!). tech must become the next major labor battleground. & for those who've already been in the struggle for years: thank you.

@jplebreton@mastodon.social @jplebreton @lands My only time playing MtG was with a group at work that were really good players and they destroyed me. I'd love to find an in-person group closer to my skill level.

@jplebreton I often say similar things to myself when I see signs by the road which say "Road Ends". I don't know anything about this instance or its community, but I like this section of its About page. It feels like a human being talking about what they're willing to do for other humans. LOL, looks like I'm getting some new followers due to twitter making terrible UX changes again. In case anyone cares, here are two open source fonts I use on any desktop computer that lets me customize fonts: https://matrix.org/blog/2020/12/18/introducing-cerulean This was unexpected... a masto/twitter-like service cobbled from the Matrix framework. Diversity of approaches seems good, and this is coming from outside the ActivityPub-based sphere. Very curious as to what the social consequences of a mainstreamed version of "reputation feeds" would be. Just released "Works of the Masters", a deluxe edition of Master Levels of Doom II: 1980s microcomputer history is full of companies that started strong but blundered and died off. A lot of these stories manifest as canceled products, like the Commodore 65: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_65 Concept-wise and in the size and pace of its engagements, Monster Hunter Ltd. Parts 1 & 2 (#073) is more like a big budget game than most of what I've played on this list so far - STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl specifically comes to mind. A detailed real world setting twisted into uncanny horror, built with a high level of polish and an exceptional eye for texturing. Towards the end, you encounter one of the scariest things I've ever seen in a Doom level. Spooky Sunken Ship (#075) from "Doom: The Golden Souls 2", a ridiculously charming ZDoom extravaganza that drops basic Doom action into a heavily Mario-influenced world of coins, jumping, monsters with cartoony behaviors, and a beautiful SMB3-style overworld map. This level dials down the mod's characteristic happy tone and uses some Super Metroid music to create a gloomy, mazelike exploration experience. Yet another fine example of Doom modding's aesthetic range. I collected together Doomworld's Top 100 Most Memorable Maps and started playing through the list, from #100: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Top_100_Most_Memorable_Maps Finally decided that since black hole roulette no longer works, 120k LY from the Galactic Hub is close enough to say "F it, road trip it is". First refueling stop was an uncharted blue star with a planet called simply "Peggy", that was classified as a "Vile Anomaly". Constant pinkish rain and some moderately curious stripey creatures, but I don't see what's so vile about it. Onward... Only about 20k LY left to the Hub - this has gone far quicker than expected! |
@jplebreton i think we should adopt this new name because i can’t stand the loukoum-turkish delight debate. 😂
@jplebreton
This is how I know of Turkish Delight and it took me well into adulthood to ever try it, all the intervening time believing it was this delicious thing.
I mean this with the utmost respect to the Turkish people, but Turkish Delight is deeply disappointing.
@jplebreton because naming it after an evangelical fever dream is better than naming it after an actual country?
