Epyon was the first Gundam I ever built waaaaaay back in the late 90s/early 00s. Easily my favorite.

This is the Skull Knight from Berserk. He would rescue the spider from the drainpipe, bring it to a safe location to rest and heal, and then assure it that the drainpipe can be climbed with enough effort should the spider wish to.

Who told you such a horrific thing? They take organs out after death yo. Here's some info sorta talking about this.

This has got to be one of the first times that people outside of Alberta are hearing about High Level.

 

The Royal Foundry is a Canadian alternative pop quartet band whose core is the Edmonton couple Jared Salte and Bethany Schumacher. They initially formed as a folk duo but, in 2015, began a significant revitalization and revision of their sound, incorporating elements of 1990's Brit-Pop with power-pop stylings of groups like Arcade Fire, and 1970's Progressive Rock elements inspired by groups like Yes and Supertramp Their music has been described as alt rock, indie rock, alternative pop, and Synth Pop.

I keep forgetting about the dev issues, lol. Deffo legitimate problems one might have with a software for sure. I don't run into that a lot over here on Lemmy.ca though, which is nice.

I stand by my assessment though. It's still weird to me to promote one thing by shooting down another. Feels too much like politics in North America to me. They could have made a "Support Piefed" community instead.

People can always find problems if they look hard enough, lol. There are probably some legitimate complaints about Lemmy, but nothing is perfect. I find their messaging weird though. Like, you can be pro Piefed without having to be anti Lemmy. Seems needlessly combative to me.

[–] Alabaster_Mango 25 points 1 week ago

It appears to be a Piefed community. You can see it on Lemmy through the magic of federation though.

I meant in the comments. At the time I posted there were only two other comments and both in the negatives, but nothing else. The post was, and still is, decently upvoted.

You ever try any Spritz reading apps on it? Spritz is an e reading software that displays one word at a time at whatever words per minute you choose. Good for speed reading, but for some reason it's controversial amongst my reading friends lol. My Boox Nova 3 can play videos, so I'm sure the Palma has the refresh rate

[–] Alabaster_Mango 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

What all do you use your Palma for? Can you get any third party apps on it? I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago and it's great for taking notes, but a palm sized eReader has been pretty alluring to me for a while.

Lots of down votes here, but not a lot of discussion... Bots?

I will vouch for Speed Racer. Don't get me wrong, it's corny as heck, but still also rad. The race scenes are fantastic! Kind of like a Godzilla movie though, you're not there for the dialogue.

 
 

Perhaps this is a protest post, lol. If anyone knows how to appeal a removed post let me know.

 
 

I've been playing a bunch of Rusted Moss lately. It's a Twin Stick Shooter Metroidvania, which is appreciably different from the Hack and Slash type I normally play. Getting used to mouse-and-keyboarding a platform heavy game took a bit. And boy are there platforms.

While elements of Metroidvanias are there, this game leans way further into the platforming. I would say it's closer to Celeste than Hollow Knight. Imagine Celeste, but instead of a magic dash and climbing gear Madeline had a gun and a chatty grappling hook.

Anyways, I've been enjoying the heck outta this game and wanted to share. While you're here I will accept any and all Metroidvania recommendations. Except for Cookie Cutter probably.

 

So many books have characters remark "it was well past moonrise", or something else equally ridiculous, to show the passage of time at night. ~~The moon cycle is a month long (~27 days), not some paltry 24 hours.~~ If you know any authors please spread the word. Together we can stamp out this astronomical disillusionment!

[EDIT]

A smarter than me commenter below pointed out that, due to the way days work, it does indeed rise and set once a day. Hard to do a complete rotation and keep a celestial body in the sky. Womp womp, I am silly.

I should have instead argued that moon rise and set are not linked to sun rise and set, and that the moon doesn't exclusively rise and set at night. It is possible to have the moon out during the day time. They are on different schedules is all.

 

Sgt. Fern Spellman couldn't stay for any more questions as there was a report of a caricature artist welding a pencil two streets over.

Seriously, I don't think that thing was sharp at all.

 

This looks great. I love the raccoon take on classic RPG classes like Mess Magus (Wizard) and Dumpster Diviner (Cleric). You can get the PDF for as little as $10USD.
