OK the Forza-LEGO crossover is the most ridiculous thing I've done in a long time and I love it.

Trying to bootstrap a new network before you have networking set up makes me feel trapped and claustrophobic. Do not recommend.

lol, someone liked this post and there was - in fact - a notification counter

i do wish there was a notification counter on the notifications button though.

eeeeee single column mode is nice. :D

related: I love opengraph previews. those are a good thing

Finally got @skitteringsurveyor to be able to parse the MTG Esports website. Since they don't use RSS I had to do some clever scraping.

Watch Dogs Legion looks absurdly ambitious.

It reminds me a bit of State of Decay: you get a team of randomly templated characters who kind of riff off of each other, but the story is fairly lightweight since it's basically a sandbox.

With effectively five main narratives and a bunch of "origin" stories, seems like it should be relatively engaging. Sandboxes are usually light on narrative, but giving the player extra agency can create a sense of more depth than is there.

- Animal Crossing: New Horizons, March 2020
- Hotseat Co-op play with up to four players on one switch
- Build a village from scratch on an uninhabited island
- Decorate the outside with furniture
- You can build paths in town
- Furniture can be aligned to half-tiles
- Fishing uses bait
- Southern hemisphere season options

Might as well just go into hibernation until March. 😭

eeee federation is hitting pixelfed soon! My wife wants to try it out but only if she can follow my Mastodon account from it. :)

Can't watch the animal crossing video because I'm at work but oh dear /r/animalcrossing is getting quite emotional!

When they told me that Docker containers were not tiny VMs, my hubris led me to interpret that as a challenge instead of a warning.

Don't be like me. Don't try to use Docker containers as tiny VMs. :)
