re: Spirit island
@mxfraud I always say that the fast/slow mechanic is really the most difficult thing to grasp, and it took a good number of plays for me to consistently remember to check that I was using powers when I was allowed to.
That said, because of the theme and the variety of cards and Spirits, it's still in my Top 5.
@Anzeliane Amusingly, on Fb00k I saw a similar post, but instead of cryptozoology it was cryptidcurrency.
I just found this Solo RPG author and I totally just picked up a copy of Apothecaria and RISE to play by myself! Who needs friends!
@sissas I don't know if I'm more jealous of you for playing or her for running that. Let me know how Session 4 goes!
@sissas This is awesome. I have to plan in that level of nuance into my next campaign.
@aw That GDPR compliance plan is a riot.
re: please, talk me out of this
@shahaan Don't do it! You will spend all your time tinkering with little things!
If you can, get a Pi and fight with that instead!
An important concept in webdev is "progressive enhancement". That is, ideally, making sure everything in a webpage is an optional enhancement upon it's plain text.
Outside of JS web standards try to help you with this by making sure no HTML elements & CSS properties at least *can* gracefully degrade to more primitive/established alternatives. For instance <datalist> can contain a <select> element(s) around it's <option>s, so site visitors can still access the autocompletion.

Azadi Kickstarter Challenge (I could use some ideas)
For the stretch goals, the creators are asking for backers to post:
(1) art that would have been better without imperial/colonialist themes
(2) favorite anti-colonialist art
(3) favorite revolutionary songs
I have tons of revolutionary songs, but I don't know much art! If anyone has any ideas they don't mind me reposting for credit on the Kickstarter campaign (just unlocking stretch goals, I think), I'd appreciate it!
@Juju You should play Seek if you don't already! It's an app that does species-level ID using iNaturalist data. No accounts or anything, so it doesn't transfer between phones, but still fun!
You do NOT need to follow me back if I followed you.
I like
* Programming (JS, TS, C, Learning Rust)
* Audiobooks (Almost exclusively Scifi/Fantasy)
* TV (getting into Docus)
* News (+Science, +Politics, +Tech)
* Video Games
* Board Games
* Storytelling Games (Eclipse Phase, mostly)
* Expressing my anxiety and depression at 3am.
I appreciate any sentient (human or bot) interaction. (Unless your politics aren't based in empathy. Or you have no politics. That's not great.)
