We’ll take all kinds of dragons!

Small dragons, big dragons, even radioactive dragons.

I can’t even tell you how many Snarfs I’ve met.

Loved this show as a kid, but I’ve got a hunch I found find it unwatchable now.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.

I’m not saying I WANT Dick Van Dyke to pass away, but the man did just turn 98.

I left the house, but only to drive over to my parents’ place for food and presents.

On my way over I saw a drugstore and a Burger King open, everything else looked pretty closed.

A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs - This is one of my favorite podcasts, but I’m going to warn you it’s not for everybody. The creator of this show, Andrew Hickey, is THOROUGH. A great example is the most reason episode about Hey Jude. Either you will love the concept of a 3.5-hour episode where 80% of the podcast is not about the song but rather the circumstances and lives of The Beatles, Yoko Ono, and the late 1960s music scene leading up to the creation of Hey Jude, or you will be furious that so much of the episode is about stuff that isn’t the song.

I am now sitting on the laptop my company gave for work, most likely breaking it. Which is unfortunate, but I can probably just request another.

Oh man I am VERY into the idea of this community

I downloaded a car

If you find an empty community and wish there were most posts, maybe post something.

Hmm, I’m not sure. I can see them from my home instance, but also the last post is from 12 days ago so it might just be because it’s a slow-moving community.

Do they have to be current-day events? Or can we recreate moments from history?

I got Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii when it first came out and just couldn’t get it. I mean, I understood what I was supposed to be doing, but I could barely pass any of the songs. I figured I just didn’t have any rhythm and put it on the shelf.

Fast-forward to 2020 when I was rearranging some stuff and came across Rhythm Heaven Fever again. I hooked my Wii back up for shits and giggles and started playing and was doing great. Either I had magically gained a sense of rhythm or (most likely) the TV I had been playing on when I first got the game had some sort of latency issue.

Now I’ve gone through all the Rhythm Heaven games, but Fever is still my hands-down favorite. I put a copy on my Steam Deck and sometimes I just load it up and play through some songs when I have a few minutes to kill.

Usually it meant finding websites with similar interests and banding together. You might form a webring, or trade banners with an affiliate site, or have community-voted top 100 lists, etc.

In 2000 I had a website about the then-current animated series X-Men Evolution, and I remember getting emails from other people who ran X-Men Evolution fansites and we would link back to each other. Eventually enough X-Men Evolution websites sprung up that one of those Top 100 list pages* sprung up to rank all of us. Clicking on my banner would result in a vote for me. I don’t think I was ever the #1 page, but I remember being in the top 5-10.

*if you have no idea what I’m talking about or are too young to remember these, they were EVERYWHERE in the early 2000s for many different subjects and fandoms. I don’t really miss the era of the Top 100 lists, because they could be easily gamed just like SEO (emulation sites were notorious for this). But I spent many hours of my teenage summer vacations finding a subject matter I liked, like Pokémon, and just going down the list and exploring.

💩. Gotta make sure the middle name is an emoji too, none of this “he can go by his middle name if he doesn’t like his first name” nonsense.

Yeah, I bought a couple of iPods from a thrift store on a lark and restored them back to working condition. I use one of them in my car every day.

My Zenfone 8 has a notification LED. I really appreciate it, because all I have to do is look over and see if the light is blinking to see if I got a text.

I like the episode where he leaps into the body of the crash-landed astronaut, only to find out it was Earth all along!
