I've encountered a few too many excerpts from the ending of The Amber Spyglass today so I am feeling fucked up 😔

dwdale

@GargronThis is a Social Network for gamers as an alternative to Facebook and others.I got inspired by your site "Mastodon.social".https://www.dhamick.com/

What do you think?

I think I could look at the creepy statue and be unaffected

Eugen Rochko

Has anyone made a good custom emoji out of this yet because I feel like this a lot

Right now I'm learning about the Color Rendering Index, a metric that is apparently important when you're shopping for LED lights

@Gargron from warm white to cool daylight, from 2000 kelvin to 6000 kelvin... good luck!

privvcy

@Gargron Yes, important. As ought to be the metrics of other lamps. Since we tend to spend so much time in environs in which our visual systems can learn to distort reality, making it unclear what reality is. What you see is so not what you get.

@Gargron Is this from what Marco Armet said? Cos this was discussed on ATP :D https://atp.fm/episodes/353

I only learned yesterday that not everyone sees halos and starbursts around lights in the dark

@Gargron I was today years old when i learned that fact... should find out if that can be fixed even though thats the only thing where my vision is not close to perfect

Friedrich Delgado

@Gargron I used to enjoy these, but now I'm happier wearing my glasses.

This is my copy of the Golden Compass (the Northern Lights, really) I got when I was 10

@Gargron as a Russian, you will certainly be aware of the Russian adaptation of Wizard of Oz. I particularly like vols 2 and 3

Manon Perfetta

@Gargron In French we had this cover and title literally says "kingdoms of the North" . I've always loved this illustration !

Eugen Rochko

The #HisDarkMaterials adaptation is absolutely disappointing, I'm sorry to say. Got up to episode four.

@Gargron I liked it, the characters are good and the actors do justice to them

Manon Perfetta

@Gargron I agree. The 3 first episodes were okay, I hoped the show would improve. But the 4th... just boring. Lee Scoresby became a kind of clown and there were so many useless scenes...

Vancha :fedora:

@Gargron what.. so there is an actual rule that says politicians or political parties posts are not allowed to be fact checked? That should be one of the first groups to be checked! Representing political views based on misinformation could do more harm than most other posts on that platform, it's kind of where the whole "fake-news" wave came from. Politics -.-

Reay Jespersen

@Gargron Perhaps "going Dutch" will change to mean "walking away from too much bullshit".

hxtr

@Gargron the art of shutting everyone's voice down. Look at Germany and there banning so called hate speach. Reality today in context is considered hate speech as they ban voices expressing what's going labeling it as fake news or hate speech. A tatic in a effort to provide protection for all lies being pushes as real news.

Eugen Rochko

Also apparently the person responsible for the #HisDarkMaterials adaptation is the person who wrote the Cursed Child, so that explains a lot and also fucking RIP

I went to bed because I felt sleepy and now that I’m in bed I do not feel sleepy

I kinda wish there was a way to play the Source 1 version of Dota 2 again. This latest patch is wild, it’s a different game now...

strange old™

@Gargron Steam lets me go back and download different versions of at least some games. is that not the case for DOTA 2?

w4tsn

@Gargron we should invent a time Maschine and name it git, like in git-in-time, so you can just check out on your local machine a branch of spacetime where DOTA was just released hooked into a folder where you can download and execute the game. This may require some spacetime container for the dependency management, but let's keep that aside for a moment. Just make sure you don't play games with yourself, or you'll crash the branch. git revert to the rescue.

The fediverse equivalent of a numbers station is the toot bot

Bhavana Varun

@Gargron toot bots? Do we have such a thing here?

Eugen Rochko

The one thing that the #HisDarkMaterials adaptation did get right is the opening sequence:

However, I do mean primarily the visual part of it. The music just sounds like someone trying to emulate Ramin Djawadi

Ricardo J. Méndez

@Gargron Not a fan?

(I read the books but haven’t seen this adaptation yet)

@Gargron Here's a service that sends you an email the day an episode airs. Also show's when shows start after you "follow" it. https://followshows.com/show/The-Expanse

I am now listening to the "vocal isolation" version of Altered State by Tesseract. Is there a version of that album I will not listen to?

@Gargron Try nescafe basement season 3 Pakistan or Coke studio Pakistan

@Gargron I also liked Lone Wolf and Cub, so, I like this as well

Stuart Barnes

@Gargron You mean the baby Yoda show feat. The Mandalorian?

Eugen Rochko

I’m really disappointed with the screenwriting in this show. A lot of telling, not a lot of showing, definitely just going down a checklist of what happens without caring about natural progression.

@GargronThey started a show on it? Where can I watch it? I really liked the books.
