I personally am a fan of jet-lagged, the game. Sam, Ben, and Adam from wendover productions/Half as interesting compete in various travel-based games across the world.
Mastodon I’ve found has a bit of a discoverability problem, but there are ways.
1 ) Start off with your local timeline: these are all the people that are on your instance as well. If you’ve chosen a “specialized” instance most of these people will have something in common with you: mastodon.gamedev.place for instance is filled with indie developers, mastodon.art is full of artists, and so on. The more general instances like mastodon.social have a lot more activity, but there’s no implicit link between people on it. It’s a trade-off: the more specialized of an instance you’re on the easier it is to find people like you and build a tight community, but the smaller the instance. The more general the instance is the more activity and people are on there, but less of it is relevant to you.
2 ) Go search up some hashtags of topics you like. For instance if you like baking go see what’s on #baking. If you’re interested in pictures of moss #mosstodon is great fun. If you like pokemon #pokemon, and so on and so forth. You can naturally follow hashtags themselves, but you can also try to use that to find people you may enjoy following - after all, if someone is posting baking pictures and you like baking maybe you’ll enjoy following them!
3 ) Go snoop out other instances. Some Mastodon clients allow you to directly view the local feeds of other instances, but you can always just go straight to the page of said instance. Find a few specialized instances for topics you like, scroll through the local feed for a bit, and follow people that look interesting to you.
4 ) Google: when I joined Mastodon I just googled a few people I like or followed on other platforms and saw if they had a Mastodon. There are also plenty of “Who to follow on Mastodon” articles out there.
5 ) In the “explore” feed you’ll find posts that are trending on your instance: often at times there are some good users there to follow, albeit it can get a bit “samey” if there’s a big news story going on.
I feel that given the current trendyness of AI and large language models it seems prudent to mention Façade, an interactive play that used AI and language processing to let the player “speak” to the characters and influence tha narrative. It was very janky and you could break it rather easily, but the concept was solid - the technology was just a decade and a half away.
I’m Icelandic. The water is potable straight from the tap: no filtration or boiling required, albeit the hot water may smell a bit of sulfur due to being heated with geothermal energy.
start simple. It is all right to just make extremely simple meals while you get in to the habit of cooking on the regular schedule. sit down on Sunday evening and scan the internet for ideas what to cook that week, make a plan, and buy groceries on, say, monday.
It is all right if the plan doesn’t go perfectly, something is better than nothing. Most of it is just practice.
Or GameMaker if you are doing a 2d game, or Unreal if you don’t mind the learning curve. Plenty of other options beyond Unity.
