You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. ~winnie-the-pooh

people think i am cringe, and apparently i don't know this???

honestly, the degree to which you accept your own cringe-ness is the degree to which you are set free

I've been looking at some "classic" forum software a few weeks ago, mostly centered on the bigger players in the PHP sector (PhpBB, SMF etc.), but noticed recently that there's a plethora of variants of the "Acmlmboard" software (used, apparently, a lot in console game circles).

Anyone have experiences with that?

Bar Tailed Godwit called "234684" by humans is one of the worlds most notrious private binge flyers. At 5 months old, they racked up a non-stop 11 days straight binge private flight from to recording 13,560km worth of frequent flier points.

A bird weighing about 500 grams that can neither swim nor glide, relying on constant beating of their wings to stay aloft, can fly almost twice as far as the original jumbo jet, and consumes a few hundred grams of fat to do so.

They also have specially adapted eyes that literally allow them to see the magnetic field of the Earth to guide them, as well as using celestial navigation by the stars at night.

Frikkin binge-flying bird-brains.

Nothing quite like seeing some AI bullshit in your feed to make you go "why do I even follow that person?" and fix that. 🙃

Australia's biggest electricity grid in NSW (with the largest amount of coal fired power capacity) reached a new record peak of 95% renewable energy surpassing 10,000 MW for the first time on Friday 8 Nov. 4 out of 12 black coal units were out-of-service for maintenance at the time.

gotta remember that feeling of playing pokemon gold for the first time again

Today is a good day to remember the time I told my Jewish grandmother, who had been an officer in the Red Army all through WWII, about the debate over punching Nazis.

"This is trick question," she said, narrowing her eyes. "When you are done punching, Nazi is still alive, yes?"

we need more sega mega drive RPGs

or even just more sega mega drive games, full stop

'find a more interesting thing to read'

khm, sigrid and a rabbit are judging you.

@nytpu earthbound is kind of an exception for me, i really like it

i think i finished it on an emulator on my DS haha

if you can get past the simplistic graphics and enjoy the story it is very charming

Should I try playing Earthbound? I've universally hated every JRPG I've ever played (other than Pokémon I guess) for a variety of reasons, but Earthbound seems to be one of those ones that everyone loves and brings up often
