That's definitely Robbie! @Alamantus@cybre.space

Holy fucking shit! I just finally learned that one of the tunes I've had in my head for YEARS that I thought was ORIGINAL is actually just the town music for where you start the game in Pokemon Gold version!! What the fuck!!!

@gemlog Yeah for sure! I heard that Russia is going to make their own version of the series, too, which will be interesting to compare.

And yeah, constructed languages!Conlanging is fun! I don't do it as much as I want, but I love coming up with interesting things. My most recent conlang project is one that's intended to be the easiest for humans developing speech to become fluent in because it uses the sounds that are statistically the first ones that babies tend to make. Hard but fun!

@gemlog Yeah, it takes a while and the episodes themselves are long, but I thought it was worth it! There's also a couple images of the real people with some text explanations at the very end that's nice to know, too (I don't want to spoil it, but one character is a representation of many people).

Toward the end, it also actually explains what happened in the reactor itself, which was cool. I got impatient so I researched what happened myself, but they do explain it in like episode 4 or 5, which was nice.

Someday when I get my creative spark re-kindled and some spare motivation, I'll definitely do some bastardized version of this in PHP or something!

This is all super cool and helpful, but it sounds like significantly more work and effort than I want to invest when using my imaginary text-to-pixels tool...

@gemlog You'll find out if you keep watching, but it's not Dyatlov

I want a tool that converts text characters into colored pixels and then can convert it back again. That way I can share a large piece of code as a tiny image. Just for fun.

Appending "...NOT!" to sentences will never not be trendy or funny

If you /really/ want to try streaming as a hobby, maybe you could stream /old/ or very /light/ games that are easy for your computer to handle? Maybe even check LowSpecGamer to modify games that are too heavy? And maybe you could lean into the anger at the games, like Game Grumps/AVGN/etc?

Just some ideas. Either way, streaming is kinda hard haha.

I found this #Kirby #tarot card set with a full interpretation book by Michaela Joffe on Itch today and thought it was really cool, so naturally I had to put it into a digital format:

(Be warned, Itch doesn't let browser games on mobile scroll, so you might have to manually refresh to draw a new card)

I don't know in what fucking universe this recipe could possibly be cooked in "20 minutes" when you're melting 8 ounces of cheese on a low burner setting, but about an hour and a half later, this recipe does follow through on its headline's claim of "Make the Best Queso Dip of Your Life Without Using Velveeta":
