I made this: https://patrickbgibson.com/pdxguide/ (Japanese not done yet, coming soon – 日本人を謝るだ)

There's something very therapeutic and cathartic about DRY-ing up code.

@Gargron just a heads up that the sponsor links in the rewards section on patreon.com/mastodon seem to be 404'ing

Really discordant how web technology is better than ever but actual websites horrifying messes of ads and email begs. How did this happen.

There some great deals for iPad mini 4 right now, but be aware that it runs iOS 11 like crap. I have one and love it (it's my bed-side computer) but it'll probably be EOL'ed soon.

Trying to figure out how I feel about the new King Krule. I loved 6ft beneath the moon, The OOZ feels like a good maturation in parts but vacant and lost in others.

Pixel 2 shows what music is currently playing (in the room you're in) on the lock screen. Is there a term that's like, uncanny valley, but for AI that straddles the line between creepy and cool?

Wired: Soundtrack, color, Locations, set up but then elimination of “the one” plot trope.
Tired: Appropriation of asian character sets with no Asian characters, that replicant birth scene (wtfffff)

I love how all the sensitive content on Japanese mastodon is like, photos of vending machines

the Japanese word for smile is 笑顔 (笑=laugh, 顔=face) — pretty good, Japan

birdsite is so bad.
masto timeline so much happier.

awooo transmit 5 is here! https://panic.com/transmit

Beat my first Major Test of Strength shrine! Ice sword + attack elixirs made it not as difficult as I thought. Only 100 rupee reward though? Boo.

I have three friends all visiting Japan for the first time this week. I remember my first time visiting, one of my first thoughts being "wow this sure is a lot of hentai for store called 'family mart'"

Just curious, what order did everyone do them in? I did:
Zora
Gerudo
Rito
Goron (not done yet)
But I have no idea if I did that right. I'm pretty sure I glitched into the Tabantha tower by trying to climb between rocks.
