So @stoat.chat what's the secret sauce to getting verified? The emails take on average about an hour to arrive, and then when one clicks the link, it directs to a "Failed to verify" page. I'd love to start trying the platform if I could make an account.

Update to this: I am not as big a fan of their pricing, which is, to put it mildly, extortionate.

Quite a few banger Apogee games are on there, some have HD remakes at this point.

I'm 40 today.

My back does not hurt, I weigh less than I ever have in my adult life, I exercise regularly, and I still play and enjoy video games.

Which is not what my parents predicted for me, in an effort to try and scare me into acting like them.

Take care of yourself, and do what you love.

@hytale.bsky.social Your new account flow is still not quite fixed, the links which were supposed to work for 24h don't work after only a few hours, and re-doing the flow and clicking re-send doesn't send another.

Just a heads up! :)

When there's finally Linux support for a 4k HDMI passthru internal capture card that isn't a $900 Magewell, maybe I'll finally consider Linux as my daily driver O/S.

Excited to see that Colosseum lives on! Can't wait to see what the next chapter brings.

My first Metroid game was Metroid Prime, and I never really was into traditional metroidvanias until a friend bought me Timespinner and I played it in a randomizer.

I've since played several metroidvanias, and today, I completed Super Metroid 100%.

I get it now. Good game.

The GM Energy charging stations by EVgo have turned into my favorite charging network.

Paired with Flying J/Pilot, it means we're always somewhere with predictable convenience and the stations are usually covered, which is very nice

I just scheduled a bucketlist vacation: riding the California Zephyr in autumn.

I'm pretty excited.

Now that we've established how many people recommend Blue Prince, come watch my interview with its creator, Tonda Ros! No spoilers, just a nice high-level discussion of the game, inspirations, development, and some fun :)

This seems like a pretty cool game if you're into puzzles.

I have already removed the old wire and install 6 gauge wire for the two hot wires and 10 gauge wire for the ground wire.

The unit no longer overheats.

Thanks, so-called professional electrician. Very cool.

For the electrical layperson, 10 gauge wire is thinner than 6 gauge wire. Using a wire that is too thin is 1000% a fire hazard.

If the EV supply equipment hadn't had an onboard sensor to know the unit/wires were getting too hot, then I very well might have had an electrical fire.

My at-home EV supply equipment wouldn't run at full speed and was throwing an indicator of overheating. After a while I started to become suspicious so I took it apart and checked it.

The electrician I hired used 10 gauge wire with a 60A 240V breaker.

It calls for 6 gauge.

Fuck me, I guess.

In Dallas yesterday visiting friends: a bewildered older gentleman was trying to pay for parking at the same time I was. Payment options were text-a-number or QR code; his phone refused to read the QR code, and he'd never sent a text before. He probably would've been stuck if I hadn't helped.

I expect to be rewarded with Soul Calibur 2 eventually.

Hate and bigotry have no place in a polite society.

But until the day when everyone can collectively agree on that, it will at least have no place in my home. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
