The ones in the picture are hospital socks, presumably from a psych related stay.

A person's home may be their castle but if they leave it vacant can they really complain if it gets taken away? in c/[email protected]

If it's vacant then it's not their home, it's just unused housing.

Let's discuss: Super Mario in c/[email protected]

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it's only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.

What app are you using to browse Beehaw on Android? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I use Connect.

I used to use Jerboa but it broke after an update and I switched over, I found it to be a better UX on Connect.

My dad just got back online after years of boondocking it - he likes tactical shooters with a rich map making scene - what's out there? in c/[email protected]

Arma 3?

Haven't played it personally, I'm not big on milsim games, but it's got a decent following. Might not have the accessibility options though.

I've heard good things about Battlebits, for what it's worth it seems decent.

What's in your tsundoku pile? (beehaw.org)
 

We've all got one. That pile of books waiting to be read, some of them surely doomed to linger for years as other more enticing novels are selected instead. What's in yours?

Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now? (www.playbalatro.com)
 

I'm not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I've enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly satisfying.

Anyone else hopelessly addicted to joker poker?

Steven Erikson's epic fantasy series Malazan Book of the Fallen available now on Humble Bundle. (www.humblebundle.com)
 

The massive 10 book epic fantasy series is a classic of the genre. If you've been interested in the series at all, this is the cheapest price I've seen for the whole lot.

I have completed and released my first short story, Hide. It is a prequel to the novel I am currently editing, Singularity.

Blurb

Deep in the mountain lakes of the Yukaan Empire, Tomas ij’Lu’kan, a haunted ex-soldier and recovered addict returns to a hunting hide he visited with his father as a child to scatter his ashes.

Someone is waiting for him in the darkness of the hide, someone from his past, left long behind. In remembrance of the man that was his father, he and the other are forced to confront the transgressions they have made and the secrets they have kept from one another.

Viewable for free on my Patreon, on Royal Road, or on my Substack.

A long form response to the concerns and comments and general principles many people had in the post about authors suing companies creating LLMs.
