@Sphinx I'm lazy today.

@Sphinx Okay?

Iris and the Giant is currently in a giveaway on GOG (scroll down the link a little bit). It's a nice deckbuilding roguelike game.

@WandelStock@mastodon.art Veel driehoekjes.

@lydiaconwell Yeah, they know an abusive work culture there. I'd never want to live there.

@Naadiyaar I agree. Usually reading documentation calmly is a good way, but sometimes you want a quick overview before you get started so you have somewhat an idea what it'll look like.

@lydiaconwell Kinda sad in a way.

I decided to take a peek at what's new in Minecraft via one of those modpacks on CurseForge since it's been a while I played MC. Decided to take a look at Better Minecraft 1.18.2, the Fabric version. Never tried a modpack with Fabric before, so I thought eh, why not.

It kinda felt like a new game to me in some ways. Could be the modpack, could be Fabric, could be that it's 1.18, or could be that I'm simply out of the loop. The last MC version I played is probably 1.16. I think I should install the Forge version of the same pack to look at the differences. Might not be too different I suspect.

But so far I saw some new (desert, spawned in one) creatures. A haunted ghost town with ghosts floating around.. New building styles. New flora and its food. New and wondrous rock formations. At least I'm familiar with Xaero's World Map and Minimap, so I'm not too lost. :P

I might explore in there some more, since this mapgen I got is a nice one. And in the meantime the Kittens Game can run in the background. ;)

Edit:
Ah I'm just reading that both Fabric and Forge versions have overlapping mods, but also that both have their own unique mods and each offer a different experience. That's interesting.

I read that Forge allows you to ride dragons... I'm so tempted to just switch over, ha. Can use the same map seed and get the same kind of map hopefully. :D

Edit 2:
Yeah, there are some differences. Landmarks are largely the same, but some contents have been changed. Even the animals differ. It's pretty cool though. I kinda have to choose between new mob bosses, or riding dragons. Considering I've watched How to train your Dragon lately... might go for the dragon riding. :P
#Minecraft

Been a bit less available the past few days.

Progress on the back fence is progressing nicely. Powerwashing it made it from deep mossy green to wooden brown, quite a contrast. We're almost ready to give it a protective coat (with a color, dad would like green, I'm like eh fine). And we can look what options there are for a corrugated roof. I think I'd want a shiny red one, just 'cause I can. ;)

The shared fence with the neighbours on the right side is almost done. The neighbour and his dad built it up, and I only need to pay for half of the material cost. Neat!

For the shared fence with my left neighbours we have a solution for the rotten posts. Leftover old posts from the other fence can be reused there, so no extra cost there.

Now the other reason for my scarcity is online.

Since Player.me is.. uh.. maybe shutting down (they can't make up their minds, but that site is seriously as good as dead), many of my former gaming community moved on to infinitebacklog.nl and I see a lot of familiar faces. So eh, I'm kinda posting a bit more there lately, especially game-related stuff, so maybe my gaming posts here will be less. I'm not certain yet. There's a lot more gaming talk interaction over at IB, which is nice.

So... uh. How are you all doing? :P

@lydiaconwell Absolutely! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm very busy!

@lucifargundam Is this good or bad?

@easrng@cybre.space 😂

@johnabs For hygienic reasons I think I'd prefer that to be done in my microwave or something else appropriate. ;)

@lydiaconwell High pressure hose, aim at stuff, woo it is clean!

@johnabs I'm not sure my garden needs steam cleaning...

I like powerwashing. ;)

@Liberonscien Neat. It's a neat program with neat plugins available.

@jmw150 Mathception?!

@lydiaconwell Looks complete to me.

@lydiaconwell They still do.
