I did not see Dolly coming as my short name but here we are. It's growing on me tbh :meow_flower:
I know thoughts and prayers get a bad rap because they tend to show up in lieu of any actual material assistance but if disconnection and isolation are the issue, and they often are, then I think they actually go pretty far. If I found out some witch was scrawling a sigil of resilience for me or blessing my pets with good health or something I'd be stoked
Modern web tutorials are bullshit. No one needs to know about packaging frameworks or flapjackstack.js or whatever. What we need to know is how to center our Under Construction gifs and set the font color on our promises to "definitely, and I really mean it this time" start updating more often 🚧

This has been a weird few weeks. Lot of conflicting feelings and experiences. I've been waiting for some kind of mood to take over so I could focus on that as a theme for awhile but it seems like I will just have to do it scared. And excited. And broken and hurting and joyful and loved and lonely and confused and hopeful and so on.
Have you ever noticed that at some point of intensity you can't tell the difference between laughing and crying?
So does soundcloud suck these days? Is there a fedi way to share audio recordings?
For context I recently found a stream that was teeming with frogs and it was an absolute croakstorm. I dug out my old zoom recorder when I got home and went out the next night (10 pm seemed like party hour). I'd love to share it but don't really know the best way to do so.
I might clip out a smaller sample to post but I got about 17 minutes on the full recording which might be useful as ambience for something 🐸

This is cool as fuck.
Also enjoy that it doesn't specify whose death 🪓😼
So I think I have a crush on the Trophy rpg system. I've been reading the books and now I'm planning our future together. I'm totally convinced it's the perfect blend of narrative and OSR styles. I'm restless at night thinking about it. I caught myself telling a friend about how cool it is on the phone. I'm even nervous about what I'll say when I finally play it.
I mean it's totally obvious that we're perfect for each other in every possible way. Has anyone tried it?

This is so well done! Cool as hell

I did see one on the first night! I used a light and spotted him sitting right at the surface surrounded by pine needles. A slick little forest green guy with the classic black racing stripes on either side. His neck was puffing and deflating impatiently like he was annoyed to be interrupted
The second night I went totally lights out and aside from my dog grabbing a quick drink managed to not bug them too much
So I mostly only heard them but they were not shy! 🎶🪩
A few nights ago I was walking by this small stream after dark and was impressed by the symphony the frogs were putting on. I returned the next day with a pocket recorder and captured their Springtime chorus.
The full recording is pretty long but this is a fun clip about 3 minutes after I walked away to give them some privacy. At first you'll hear some frogs in the distance but the nearby ones that got a lil spooked by me will start chiming in soon. Headphones! (in stereo) 🐸

Even more fitting then! 🎲🎲
Try not to worry too much though. If a crow friend is anything like a pet you'll be calling them all sorts of nicknames before too long :neocat_floof_happy:

Thanks! This looks interesting. I'll have to look around a bit maybe there is an instance centered around ambient and environmental stuff

Pip? Like the spot on a die? Could be Pippen or Pippi someday if they ever decide to lean into a particular gender :p
I really like the suggestion by @bela@neopaquita.es too. Pepper is really good!

This isnt the aughts anymore grandpa. I know back in your day people would religiously post to their blogs for years without a hint that anyone had ever read them but we've moved on.
Seriously, though, this breaks my heart. It's so hard to find out what you really like in this world with so much external pressure trying to cajole you into pursuits and preferences that aren't yours. It's sad to see kids, historically adept at doing what they want, skip to doing what the algorithm wants 😢

The 16 bit sunrise wakes the sleepy rodent villagers from their pixelated dreams. A new digital day awaits the fuzzy creatures in a town where no human will ever tread.

Hey, thanks to everyone who responded or boosted this! Learning about the EIA-608 standard was a helpful lead. I found a standalone encoder on ebay but it was pretty far out of budget.
Think I'm going to bite the bullet on the capture and conversion route. Editing and organizing clips would certainly be a lot easier. I am worried about the digital conversion process harshing the analog vibe so there will probably be more questions on framerate and fidelity to come.

Might be a pitch towards the outside of the plate but I really enjoyed Dredge. I came across it when I was feeling a similar aversion to time pressure in otherwise cozy games that was stressing me out
Instead of the constant march of Stardew where it feels like you're trying to beat the day (and the season) the time limit feels really soft. There is a safe/danger cycle but no calendar: day 1 is day 100

Cool, I think this is probably the direction I'm going to go. I was hoping to stick with an analog chain but it looks like all reasonable roads lead through a capture card. Thanks for the info!
