PSA: Probably everyone knows this already, but I keep forgetting that Windows 10/11 has a clipboard history.

So if you get annoyed at once again pressing CTRL+C and "losing" your clipboard, just press Win + V to cycle through the history.

As part of my playing around with #gamedev I wanted to experiment with pixel art. I'm a programmer and not an artist, but I used to paint models and studied a bit of how old games were made to look good so I gave it a shot to make a bucket. So here's my first #pixelart ever: A bucket.

Thanks to @maique for the recommendation about Herschel waist packs/bum bags/fanny packs. I picked this up today for when I don't want to carry a massive backpack around.

Proton fucking rocks.

A few years back people would laugh in your face for using Linux to play games. Now I'm playing Starfield & Baldur's Gate 3 on Kubuntu without a care in the world, now just remembering I started making a cup of tea a few hours ago because I got sucked in..

The fediverse is def no pre-musk twitter because it's damn near impossible to find on the ground accounts regarding what's going on in Israel/Palestine.

Fortune's Run is pure shooter/immersive sim magic.

So, those miniature squashes that have appeared at my local supermarket… Are they edible or decorative? 🎃🤔

Double punch to confirm my work VPN 2FA is nice.

It's the work week, which means it's time to procrastinate with Gordy and the Monster Moon! It's a bite-sized Zelda-like about a pumpkin astronaut exploring a Halloween moon.

Do you eat breakfast?

And by "breakfast", I mean the first meal of the day, and actual food (coffee, tea, and juice, don't count as food but smoothies do)

Please boost for a wider demographic! 🙏

UPDATE: We tried something dead simple, and it worked.
1 golden potato
1 small onion
1 egg
1 tsp corn starch
a dash of kosher salt

Shredded the potato and the onion, then wrung the liquid out with a cheesecloth. Stirred in the other stuff, made flat patties, pan fried 'em.

PERFECT.

No, seriously. The result was good enough that we might consider *tweaking* the recipe, but won't make big changes.

Sadly, all further refinements will have to wait until we have potatoes again. Whoops.

Holy shit, Jane Ward is not fucking around!!!
