  • After 8 years of development, I'm releasing my first video game today: Game Over - A Musical RPG??

    Jump

  • Congrats! Just watched the trailer and the game looks and sounds awesome. As someone who has a lot of half-finished projects, I'm impressed you stuck with it for 8 years and got it across the finish line, that must be a great feeling.

    Were you working on it full time or on the side?

  • What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 1500sqft condo? Sub $500

    Jump

  • +1 for Shark. Bought one several years ago without thinking much about it. It still works just as well as when I got it despite handling a pretty heavy workload. My dog sheds profusely and tracks in stuff from the yard constantly and we also use it on the cars.

  • Golden sunset I caught today. Leman lake, Switzerland.

    Jump

  • Amazing color and composition. Did you wait a long time to get this shot?

  • In your opinion, which anime has the most badass villains?

    Jump

  • Vicious from Cowboy Bebop. "And you will shed tears of scarlet"

  • Sony Pictures and MAPPA are bringing Chainsaw Man: The Movie to theatres Internationally on October 29!

    Jump

  • Excited to see this in theaters

  • What are your top three recommendations for someone new to anime?

    Jump

  • Depending on what they like, I'd probably tailor my recommendations i.e. if they're more into action, drama, comedy, sci-fi, slice of life, etc.

    In general though, my go to's are:

    • Paprika
    • Cowboy Bebop
    • Steins;Gate

  • I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?

    Jump

  • Visit some of the National Parks, aka America's best idea.

    Some amazing ones (they're all amazing, tbh) in no particular order:

    • Yosemite
    • Arches / Canyonlands (close to each other)
    • Yellowstone
    • Grand Tetons
    • Glacier
    • Denali
    • Olympic

  • Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 13]

    Jump

  • Yeah, I figured they're probably not going to see much of my money, but was hoping having some sales would benefit them, at least in future deals even if they don't get royalties. I'm not against pirating, just wanted to show my support since I get enjoyment from their work and so there's incentive to continue putting out content (for everyone involved).

    Appreciate the recs, I'll check those out!

  • Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 13]

    Jump

  • Been enjoying Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You. Anyone got similar light-hearted manga recs?

    Also curious if anyone has a manga subscription service or platform/app they recommend? Want to support the artists but also want to downsize my bookshelf + travel lighter.

  • Western Red Cedar

    Jump

  • If they require low/no VOCs, I used Vermont Natural Coatings / Bohme. It's held up pretty well for the last 18 months of medium use/rain/sun. Though I only used cedar for the fascia, the doug fir I used for the decking still has a warm, golden color.

    I love McMaster-Carr's website.

    Jump

  • Yep, their site is a marvel of organization and refreshing in how minimalist it has remained. These days it seems every e-commerce site hits you with email sign up pop-ups, sales banners, etc.

  • I threw away Audible’s app, and now I self-host my audiobooks - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • In addition to self-hosting, I'll throw out a few other alternatives:

    Free:

    Paid:

    • For a user experience closer to Audible, I went with libro.fm. You can pick a local, independent bookstore that gets a portion of the sales. Their catalog is pretty extensive as well, have been able to find most books I'm interested in. Books are DRM-free and you can pause your membership.
    • Downpour - DRM-free as well

    DRM-free is important IMO because otherwise you're at the mercy of the platform and if the company ever changes its Terms of Use or wipes your account, you lose your purchases. Amazon have remotely deleted books from users' libraries in the past or replaced them with modified copies (e.g. Roald Dahl books). Kindle announced last month they won't let you download your eBooks via USB so it's possible Audible could see changes for the worse in the future as well.

  • The Anarchist's Workbench by Christopher Schwarz - Free Ebook Download

    Jump

  • Yep, have a few Lost Art Press books and they're all great. If you're into or want to learn hand tool woodworking, they're great resources. They're also not dry textbooks, I've gotten a laugh from Chris's writing (check out the LAP blog or substacks) on more than one occasion.

  • Niagara Falls, Canada

    Jump

  • Nice, looks like great weather

  • Removed

    the alt right special

  • He's more of a meat popsicle

  • What are some aspects of UI/UX seen in modern websites that really grind your gears?

    Jump

  • One terrible combo is infinite scroll plus links in the footer (Bing does this, if you needed another reason not to use that site). I think pagination is generally a better pattern, since you can link to a specific page.

    Also lack of back button functionality and having your state reset on refresh are also pet peeves.

  • "Lazarus" New Key Visual, PVs

    Jump

  • Hyped for this. Hope the music is just as good

  • Which browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Thanks for this. I'm using mainly Firefox to support alternatives to webkit/blink based browsers but the new ToU makes me a bit apprehensive about the direction they're going.

    I also had been test driving Falkon from KDE but will look into these as well.

  • Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages

    Jump

  • I can dig it. For me it's similar to seeing physical products described as "handcrafted" to denote quality versus something mass produced. A lot of indie devs pour enormous amounts of time and energy into animation, scripts, music, etc. that a derivative gen AI would just spit out in seconds.
