Comment on Tildes fundraiser June 2023: Encourage an app developer (me) to work on a Tildes app faster, by donating to Tildes (not me)! in ~tildes
BeezNuts LinkI'll be there day 1. I've been a user of RIF for about 9 years now, so I'm excited to get to continue to use more of your software.I'll be there day 1. I've been a user of RIF for about 9 years now, so I'm excited to get to continue to use more of your software.

Comment on How do you feel about the ongoing Reddit migration to Tildes? in ~tildes
BeezNuts Link ParentI wrote a paragraph long email about why I wanted to join and what I was coming from. I was surprised to get an email back from an actual person. It was a really great welcome to the community.I wrote a paragraph long email about why I wanted to join and what I was coming from. I was surprised to get an email back from an actual person.

"Cursed Halo Again"
It's really interesting what the developer was able to do with a 22 year old game engine. I was genuinely taken aback a couple of different times by just how unexpected some of the things were. A lot of the new weapons ended up being really funny. Some of them would seem to be really useless, only for it to have a really niche use case. Like the blunderbuss shotgun. It has a huge almost unusable amount of spread and it recoils so badly that it damages the player and sends them physically flying back. But it also sends whatever you hit with it flying as well. I used it more as an escape method than as an actual weapon by just looking down, jumping, and then firing. The D20 grenades with random effects are also really fun.
To avoid spoiling it I'll avoid naming characters but the dev seemed to either hire some of the original voice talent or use a really really good AI voice model to make new lines for some characters.
I had a lot of fun playing it and I can only imagine it's a lot more fun with friends.

BeezNuts LinkI'm very new. As in I've only had an account for a few minutes. But I've been lurking for a few days now. I got a nice email with my acceptance code which I thought was very welcoming.

So far everyone here seems to be cautiously optimistic which I think is a fair response to the migration. I like what I see so far and I'm happy that people seem to be pretty welcoming. So far I really like how easy it is to just minimize a comment when I'm done reading it.
I've had a weird week.
I got a job at a pizza restaurant. I've been out of a job for a long time and I finally found a place that'll give me a chance. I already liked to eat their food, so working there is a pretty neat experience. https://imgur.com/38XjJoM This is a pizza I got to make for myself my first day there on Thursday. Overall it's a good job. They let me wear headphones so the time goes by quickly and I only work a few hours a day anyways.
Then today I went to my mother's house to mow her lawn for her. The front wheel got stuck and wasn't moving. So I stopped the mower and knelt down to take a look and there was a fist sized bubble coming out of the tire which promptly exploded in my face. It made my nose bleed and ruined a good shirt. Made my ears ring for hours too.
