I want this to be a shorthand, like "sealioning" or "spoons". I'm gonna try again calling the thing I want to talk about "my cymbals". Hey, can I cymbal you with something? I've got some cymbals I want to bang. Omg, Jordi, can you please stop banging those cymbals? We're talking about something else here.

My housekeeper keeps folding our toilet paper in an aesthetic manner. Every day after she leaves I am surprised by yet another piece. Their complexity persistently increases.

That's beautiful, Mrs Danvers, but how do you expect me to wipe my butt in good conscience with this origami artwork you made?

Talk about mixing the sublime with the abject. Her ephemeral and transgressive statement is sadly wasted in our lavatory.

RE: @SarahLynne@mastodon.gamedev.place

This is super-cool. Sarah Parker is making retro video games printed on bar codes that you scan with a slightly obscure Gameboy Advace peripheral.

This is the kind of art that makes the #retrogaming and #homebrew communities really shine.

I can never remember if I'm supposed to add one or subtract one to make it go the way I want it to. #GammaFunction

I wiped the screen with a microfiber. That's definitely a cluster of stuck pixels, isn't it?

They should come by tomorrow or the day after to pick it up for in-warranty screen replacement.

@calx@infosec.exchange See, this right here is the problem. I'm constantly having to remember which way I'm going, because going one way I have to subtract but going the other way I have to add. We could have just kept Π(𝑧) but noooo, for some reason that was tooooo hard, so have fun with that little off-by-one for all eternity.

So my new laptop has developed a dead pixel.It's still under warranty but it's such a pain in the butt to ship it off somewhere for two weeks when it's my main workhorse. It's just ooooonnnnee teeny tiny pixel. Which showed up 3 months after purchase. Maybe I should just live with it?

This PCB is one hell of an apology tour. They didn't even use logic-level translation, which is the more common route nowadays to avoid sourcing the rarer 5V chips. The pins are also gold-plated to ensure better connexion with the NES. Limited Run Games seems to actually want to fix their reputation here.

@federicomena@mstdn.mx Digamos que los cuadrados pequeños tienen 1 de lado. Entonces el área azul es 5. De la esquina superior derecha a la esquina inferior izquierda es un diámetro del círculo de longitud √10 (pitágoras). El diámetro es igual a los lados del cuadrado envolvente, por lo tanto el cuadrado envolvente tiene 10 de área.

@BJ233@mastodon.social I could have sworn someone made a comic/graphic novel story about Walt Disney waking up in the future after being brought back from cryosleep. Mickey Mouse has become some sort of resistance symbol, so when Walt draws him, everyone starts to think he's some kind of prophetic messiah. The first of half of this story is turning out to be true.
