    I've been addicted to Rogue Legacy 2.

    Even though I have the ability now to skip over the easier portions, I still go through the whole thing every run. Great second screen game I play while "watching" YouTube. I really like all of the different traits your heirs can have. It makes new runs feel fresh.

    I wish I could forget playing A Dark Room to be able to do it again from the start.

    For anyone (at least in the USA) interested in Loop Hero, it looks like it will be given away next week (August 3rd - 10th) from Epic Games. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/

    This is a really neat idea. Have any project photos that you feel like sharing? If not, no biggie. I'm just being nosey.

    I loved The Martian, and I just started reading Project Hail Mary. So far, it's enjoyable.

    I once saw a person walking around a store with a "Kiss My Converse" shirt. I think I freaked him out a bit with how excited I was to see that in the wild.

    I had the same request. TemulentTeatotaler was nice enough to make a script for TamperMonkey to do just that. You can find it here: https://tildes.net/~tildes/16h8/lazy_userscript#comment-8ubv

    Thank you for this. I tried to copy and paste that into TamperMonkey on my Mac using the Safari extension, but it didn't seem to do anything.

    I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong or misunderstanding.

    You have already spent too much time on this on my behalf.

    I'll try to look at this later and see if there is something I did wrong.

    Could you place a little note or other reminder (something small that is obviously not a pill) in the pill box of the day when you should remember to call for a refill?

    That, or you could create a calendar reminder for each prescription. Google Calendar lets you set up recurring events with multiple reminders if that's what you'd prefer. I'm sure the other digital calendars do similar.

    With my very limited knowledge of programming in general and scripting in particular, I'm curious how hard (if even possible) it would be to just break the "ignore" link out of the "Actions" cage it currently resides in.

    My only (admittedly very small) annoyance with the current setup is that it takes two clicks and extra mouse or finger movement to ignore each post.

    I've always been a heavy-handed hider of threads that I have no interest in.

    Yeah, I'm running into this right now. My local library uses CloudLibrary, so my old Kindle is out. I have thought about getting a Kobo, but that still requires me to hook it up to my computer to move the book over the old-school way.

    I was looking to see if I could find an e-ink screen Android tablet to see if I could just run the CloudLibrary app directly on the tablet, but most of them don't have the Play Store, and the ones that do are really expensive to avoid reading on my phone.

    Oh well. Phone reading it shall be for now. At least the phone is waterproof and already in my possession.

    I like it so far. I would love if I could hide or "ignore" a thread within the app. Is there a way to set a time frame for viewing recent posts like on the site?
