Somehow genuinely had no idea Gojira were French so, TIL!

Also wtf South Africa.

No worries! Glad you got it sorted :)

Shoutout to [email protected] for saving us when Liftoff went under.

Did you misspell it “palword” in the filter?

(This sounds like I’m being snarky but I swear I’m just trying to help haha)

This might be the showerthought that’s given me the most to think about ever. Can’t stop thinking about licking my couch, for a start. Well played OP.

Jes!

(That’s Esperanto for “yes”. It’s pronounced “yes” 😄)

Saluton, mia amiko 👋

‘Bough’ and ‘bow’ are pronounced the same

Except, of course, when “bow” is pronounced “bow” instead.

I seeee! Never heard the finer details of that whole thing (I was young and not super into his stuff anyway). Smart guy though by the sounds of it!

Could’ve picked something easier to pronounce, though.

Unfortunately, like it seems all PeerTube instances, it’s not federated with much. I do understand why they’re all siloed but it makes PT kind of a non-starter for actual normal users so they all just use Mastodon instead.

This sounds mint and I’m sad I’m too solodev to make it.

Respectfully, it may be time for you to invest in a doorbell.

OP may have made a tactical error asking this on the internet

If it’s a long complicated surname you can’t go wrong with a short simple first name. I’m gonna throw Sam into the ring, after our lord and saviour Samwise.

We didn’t get tickets for the actual live final, so had a party house rented a short drive out of Liverpool along with some friends for the Saturday night. Can confirm even the ones that started the night thinking they didn’t care about Eurovision were shocked by the end!

Loreen is a legend but that song was just not great. So many others deserved it over her and it’s a bit depressing that the jury members chosen have such consistently bland tastes every year.

But also, like, it’s a song contest. I may be obsessed, I may have an ever-growing group of US friends I’ve introduced to the spectacle, I may learn all the words to songs in languages I don’t understand and I may have sewn myself a special flag dress for Liverpool. But it’s a song contest, I’m not actually furious about it like some people were 😅

Thank you! I’m really proud of it so far 🙂

It’s just a really simple hex-based city builder. Very minimal, barely even a game really. Suitable first project for a solo dev I’m hoping!

(If you’re on Mastodon I post, among other things, updates on it here)

That sounds so fun! I’ve had dancing on my list for ages but sadly can’t find any groups doing anything around here. One day!

Been a decent year for my bucket list! I managed to tick off:

• get married
• go to Eurovision
• go on a cruise

Also started work on my first “real” video game, been learning how to make them as a hobby since 2020. Releasing that sometime next year will be another thing ticked off the list!

We have had a lot of crap stuff happen as well though (health stuff and whatnot) and it’s just generally been a very stressful and disrupted year so I’ll be glad to see the back of it despite all the good that happened.
