    The roleplaying was a bit more graphic about what they were doing to their robots, and what the robots were doing to them! We had some entertaining regulars that's for sure haha

    I used to help run a popular 90s cartoon streaming site which used IRC for the chat functionality. One particular 'highlight' that comes to mind - during the second incarnation of the site, two users started roleplaying about their sex robots, albeit in the #nsfw channel but also in a very much public channel for everyone to see.

    It seems like you need to choose between speed or colour quality with the two screen technologies. Personally waiting for the Tab Ultra C to come into stock but more for having a keyboard. Although Lenovo were supposed to release their dual sceen laptop this month with a colour e-ink screen on it (I think it's Kaleido)...

    I think an important distinction is the difference between posting just an image and posting an image with content behind it to start the discussion.

    You see a lot of low-effort reposts of a single image on Reddit with no engagement or context about the thing they've posted.

    Thanks for putting this together. This month is going to be amazing with Collision, Forbidden Door and Fight Forever!

    I wonder how the titles will work for Dynamite and Collision. From what I've read there won't be a hard brand split.

    I've recently upgraded my little raspberry pi to a full on Ubuntu server. I've been creating an entirely bespoke system from scratch using php which I access via wireguard. I need to do a full breakdown if it at some point. It serves everthing from TV shows, music, movies and tracks calories, weight, card collections and numerous other random things.

    I've used TeX quite a bit for user generated documents but found it quite fiddly with different modules. I did use SQLite for a little project as I thought having databases as tangible files was a good idea but found it a nightmare for corruption issues.

    I do still write my CV in TeX though!

    Started with Red but completely agree, Crystal was something special. I felt like no other mainline game can compare. Exploring Kanto after the elite four blew my little mind.
