How Did Anyone Beat This In The Arcade?
It wasn’t that hard if you kept feeding it quarters. It took a lot of trial and error, but having infinite lives means it was eventually beatable.

An elegant rulebook, for a more civilized age...
I’m not looking forward to this eventual conversation.
“Wow, there’s a lot of rulebooks here! Did you play all of these games?”
“No, just D&D.”

They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub
Reply in thread
I would assume that Lemmy is not very accessible yet, but Lemmy’s mobile apps are under a month old. They are making fast progress and I would expect that to change very soon.
However, Reddit’s app has been out for years and they have been told about its accessibility problems for just as long. The impression I get is that they didn’t prioritize accessibility since third-party apps handled that for them. When they cut off access to these apps, they made it very clear that they have no alternatives in mind; they consider the visually-impaired userbase to be insignificant and simply don’t care about their issues.

Looks Like the Website for Trump's Patriot Legal Defense Fund Just Got Hacked

This has been up for so long that I doubt it’s a hack: it’s more likely that Trump stiffed his web developer.

Japan gov't set to seek court order to dissolve Unification Church - The Mainichi
How large is the Unification Church? I thought they were a pretty big organization.
Also, this paragraph is hilarious:
The Unification Church, meanwhile, has claimed that engaging in activities that violate Japan's civil law should not be considered grounds for ordering its dissolution and that the government's questioning of the group is illegal.

Which character concepts are less cool to play than they seems ?
As a GM, basically any artificer / inventor. They only fit into very specific settings, so they’re very out of place in most games. If the system has light rules for inventions, the player thinks they can create anything, and I have to constantly fight them to stop trying to one-up the other characters. If the system has robust invention rules, these characters don’t generally get to invent anything since so much downtime and resources are required.

Unison | A friendly, statically-typed, functional programming language from the future · Unison programming language
This looks like the opposite of friendly to me. Is it supposed to be targeted towards cloud computing or web apps? I don’t really understand what its ideal use case is.

Looks like this may be a known issue for some users.

So tired
The greatest thing about episodes like Takeaway and Sticky Gecko is that they show how chaotic kids are in real time. I could keep up if they would space out all these little crises, but kids will easily throw ten different problems at you in the span of minutes.

Good. Let Hasbro sink themselves with another failed VTT.

Discuss: what are your life hacks?
Use your messy instincts to learn how to organize. If you always place your keys in a certain spot, put a key dish there. If you dump your clothes on/near your bed, get a laundry basket there.
Lists are only useful if you look at them, so put them somewhere you can’t avoid. I’m not talking about your fridge: use your phone. Set reminders that stay visible until you mark them completed. If you use Outlook for work, use its reminders liberally and give them realistic deadlines.
Most important of all, take your medication if you have some. You wouldn’t stop wearing your glasses because they let you see, so if your medication is working then keep up with it.

Looking to try obsidian, but the sync seems expensive. Do you pay for sync, or are there other alternatives?
If you only use iOS and a Mac then iCloud will work fine. It’s only a problem on Windows where the iCloud implementation is buggy.

laundry pro tip
I can wash clothes just fine; all I have to do is gather them up and throw them in the washer. It’s folding that’s the big problem. We’re basically living out of laundry baskets at this point.

You joke, but the skills learned in DMing are incredibly useful on a resume. Run a few Adventures League games and include that and your recruiter probably will be impressed. It’s easy to teach people how to do their job, but it’s very difficult to teach someone how to lead people and think on your feet.

Any updates?
The GitHub for Memmy shows the last commit was a month ago. That’s not “abandoned” for an open source personal project, but it definitely seems to be on the developer’s back burner right now.
I like supporting smaller projects, but Memmy’s just gotten outpaced by other recent clients. I’ve switched to Voyager and really like it. I’ll come back to Memmy once it’s getting active development again.
