Finding myself strangely excited for the new No Man’s Sky update after watching @jplebreton stream in anticipation of it. Hearing that there’ll be cooking might be the thing that finally tips me into getting this game.

@Stupacabra@twitter.com Also for a time we hung out on a forum based around the idea that we owned a company which had acquired rights to Speedy Eggbert and successfully convinced a guy it was true. That was back when the web was fun.

The same icon is used by @panic@twitter.com's Transmit to mean "convert popover to window" and by @EnpassApp@twitter.com to mean "copy text". Confusing for my sleepy brain.

This page of @Stupacabra@twitter.com’s spooky, kid-friendly webcomic Tabitha Faust made me properly chuckle. https://tabithafaust.com

Admittedly I haven’t dated in a very long time, but this tech-solution dating service reads like a nightmarish parody to me.
