Go-On-A-Steam-Train

I want to be a great parent, and be able to make games and/or music for a living - dream I shall!

Short of that, I want to have a pet penguin and live in a quirky house by the sea like a character in some kids book, that sounds excellent.

Same on all counts, best of luck. ♥️

Ubuntu all the way! :) Before I learned there were other ones, then wound up back on Mint again after a trip around the houses. :)

That’s interesting to know! Open source is the way to go where we can.

I do like using (proprietary sadly edit: see below) AutoHotkey on the Windows machine at work, aaaand thanks to learning about Hammerspoon I’ve been bitten with the itch to do this on Linux at home! :)

Edit… waaaait AHK is open-source?! Nice :) I’ll do some digging after work! :)

I do, this is it! Recently remade in Hugo :)

It’s mostly things I’ve made or been interested in (music, game projects, musical web nonsense), but mostly just… I’ve always had this site, and am attached to it in a way?

It used to be the name of a comic I made for fun, and the gets used for everything to remind me to keep that feeling of fun and making stuff for enjoyment. :)

Must admit, I’m frequently torn between the private nature of why I binned facebook vs writing there, but meh, I’m happy and that’ll do.

Avowed is still going strong! Loving it! :)

I “broke” linux mint just by trying to pop KDE on, had to timeshift because it messed up my keyboard layout and a whole bunch of other things with my display.

I don’t know how people do these crazy changes without pain, and have a feeling the answer is simply “there’s pain” 😂

Thank you so much for this! I never ever see anyone share open-source setups like this for non-hobby work, and it’s inspiring. :)

(Ramble incoming)

I noticed since jumping from windows I’m missing Ableton, and it’s been a mental block of knowing that I’ll need to choose a new way to do things. It’s daft as I loved ardour and LMMS back in 2014, and I’m sure they’re even better now :) I totally need to dedicate some time to music, it’s been a neglected piece of my soul for a bit too long. :)

Edit: also, Plug Data looks brilliant! I loved MaxMSP, and it got me into game making/coding. :)

For me, the last “ah yes, the future” moment was going from “broadband” to seeing real fiber at a friend’s house that was 100x faster. Insanity at the time :)

You can’t just make me vanish into a dark room and listen to an album…

… yet here I am, and I thank you. :)

I can recommend the burger recipe that uses cream crackers! :) Nothing more insightful to contribute besides that though as I’ve not tried other recipes

(usually the BBC have a version with “less fancy ingredients”, by which I mean “doesn’t assume I have my life together and can afford to have fresh vegetables on hand in my fridge” - this is probably a me problem lol)

I loved this game! It’s great to hear someone else’s feeling on it, you’re totally right about the interface, but it was easy to forgive its limitations because of how engaged I was. :) I loved the feeling of frantic problem solving as you connect the dots near the end on things.

Eddy?! How on earth… I knew Heihachi but… why on earth would they do something so daft :/

Always Sometimes Monsters gets my vote! It was a good story and I felt like it was a great use of a weekend. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea (text-based, no combat), but I loved it!

Just a thought: the SuperTuxCart mascots should hopefully be fair game! :)

From this I see potential!

Random ideas: Tux - Beak, rolling, belly flopping! Gnu - Horn charge, headbutt, hooves Puffy - Spikey puffing Godette - Robot backup (like ice climbers?) Suzanne - Throwing things

Also the keyboard! I have never used one I liked more until thumbkey came along :) The windows keyboard was so good for swipe typing, it makes me wonder how they now own swift key and it isn’t as good!

When I had to go to Android (phone battery on the Lumia 950xl started swelling), I used things to replicate Windows Phone as it was so fun to use. :)

Ooh I notice nobody has mentioned Wasteland 3 - it totally slipped under my radar, it is a fastastic RPG, with a fun story and good combat! :) It’s what I’d love fallout to be :)

Coast by Kim Deal :)

I love them because of a sesame allergy! Worry free brioche for the me! :)

Now that just sounds blissful! I legit plan to try this
