Hey, I’m trying to find this word game on Gemini where you have a “wheel”(?) and you need to make words with the letters in the wheel, and it must include the one in the centre. Anyone remember what it was called or have a link?

I just realised that I have an irrational hatred for thin clients, and I’m not sure why.

Does anyone else get depressed during the new year? Like you desperately want to go out and/or do something exciting, but nothing does the job?

I got my covid booster shot yesterday, my head and arm hurt now…

I’ve been looking at prices of Nintendo 64 games I want to get, and prices for even common games are so extortionate now! It’s really getting out of hand! :(

I’ve noticed that since I’ve mostly quit mainstream social media, my days feel a lot longer and I have more time to read books/magazines, watch films and most importantly, play video games. I feel my mental health has improved drastically since!

I was browsing Midnight Pub, and found this post: gemini://midnight.pub/posts/701 I did the same thing on my iPad as the OP and have been experiencing the same thing, almost like withdrawal. Even inspired me to make a post on my GemLog about it. Anyone here had a similar experience?

So I’ve been using Librewolf, a Firefox fork that removes any telemetry and deletes all cookies, for a good while now. Long enough to confidently say that when a website says it needs to use “essential” cookies to run the site properly, it’s an outright lie. I’ve yet to have a site not work for me.

I got a blister on my right index finger from practicing the bass today, and it hurts to even type on my PC, so I might have to take it easy with game dev for a bit.

Someone made a dedicated browser for websites on the Yesterweb ring, and a forum where it’s members chat, called Yesterweb Surf+. I love it! Only thing is I think it’s Electron based…

I was making a Minidisc full of Christmas songs, to help get into the Christmas spirit while I’m away, and just listening to the songs I was copying over was enough to get me excited for Christmas!

So a few years ago, I decided to avoid using Google as my primary search engine, and instead use Ecosia and DuckDuckGo, but with the expectation that I will need to fall back to Google for some searches. I just realised, a few years later, that I’ve rarely if ever done so. Ecosia/DDG give me the results I need on a daily basis. Feels good not using Google at all, tbh.

Got to try out a full drum kit yesterday, and had an absolute blast playing songs in a band! People seemed really surprised when I said I’ve only been playing for 2 months. Got to play Bass, too, that was fun!

I joined a Discord server for a local filmmaking meetup group, and they’ve been very helpful with giving advice and helping me in general with making my first projects! I aim to make films in Scots, because there’s a shocking lack of them out there especially given the language has nearly 2 million speakers!

I’ve started to go through my backlog and play through all of my games. I started playing Superhot. I forgot how much fun the game is!

Remini is down :( It’s the only way I really look at anything Reddit any more, so that’s a bummer

I beat Cyberpunk 2077 again (I rarely do that with games), on very hard, and unlocked and beat the secret ending. It was thrilling! I think I’ve finally had enough from the game and am going to move on to something else. I genuinely don’t get what people hate about the game, but I think it’s the best game I’ve played in a long long time!

Probably isn’t a hot take here, or be the first to say this, but I’m getting super sick of the big web. It all feels so artificial, like everything is just done for money and nothing else, and the regular people on social media are just doing things for clout and the memes are samey, make no sense or just generally not funny at all. It all feels so fake. The only area I go on the web nowadays by choice are Neocities/Wiby.me sites. Good to at least see a community on the web trying to keep what creativity and thrill of exploration there is on the web alive.

I got a CD that came from a magazine from a charity shop the other day, and I’m fascinated by it. I’ve seen it’s one in a line of many CDs. Feels like the music equivalent of a demo disc. They have songs from what were then new albums, and is a great way to discover new artists!

I finally saw No Time to Die. Loved it! It was a lot less serious than Daniel Craig’s other films, gave him a personality and one-liners. Would thoroughly recommend it!

I’ve starting using IPFS as a way to self host images and videos for my site without needing my PC on 24/7, seems pretty neat.

I’m going to see the 1st Harry Potter film in the cinema tomorrow, they’ve remastered it for the 20th anniversary. Figured why not, since I never saw it in the cinema originally.

I just found a shop in a shopping centre that still sells VHS tapes, and they had tonnes! I bought a good few for like 20p each!

I’ve finished modelling all of the levels for my game. Was planning to release in Spring 2022, so now I have plenty of time to polish up the gameplay, add more weapons and film cutscenes. It’s getting exciting!

I’ve began to notice that since I’ve been using Station, I don’t care about how many likes or followers I get, like I did when I was on big tech social media. Instead, I look forward to seeing people’s replies and actually having a conversation. Makes me think how social media has never been about being social, but rather it just being a popularity contest. Anyone else notice this?

I just beat Cyberpunk 2077. I did all of the side gigs and objectives that were actually beatable (Some weren’t!), and went through multiple endings thanks to quicksaves. The game seems to get a lot of flak online, but honestly, I loved it!

I went to my first D&D game this evening after a friend suggested it to help me get out more. I had an absolute blast! Definitely going back next week!

In an ultimate crossover of old and new tech, I’ve made a Mixtape of songs from Spotify, so I can take those songs with me when I go out without needing to install the app on my phone! It was the first time I made a tape on my new stereo, and I have to say the quality is really good, probably the best I’m going to get from a Type 1.

I finally got a boxset of Digimon Adventure Tri on Blu-Ray and watched it. Loved it!

Things are finally back to normal for us. We had no internet for a week due to a power cut basically destroying our router, and then Ubuntu suddenly had a problem with my Nvidia GPU, making me completely reinstall the OS (Someone once told me the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu were good. They lied). But here we are, finally, with internet, and a working OS that isn’t Windows 😮💨
