increased the amount of rolling stock that can be hauled by each train from 20 to 50 cars :)

Hey, you all should play Penguin Colony. Not just because it's a game where you play as Penguins in Antarctica, or that the hype being pretty well founded, or it's neck-deep in interrogating Lovecraft and it has Nazis go completely mad, although absolutely all those things.

Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like - creating sincere art from playful naivete - balancing passion and health - how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers - regrets from my 1st commercial codebase

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

People get all up in it about SkiFree because obvious the snowman, but Jezzball was an all-timer and so was Fuji Golf and Chips Challenge. Truly this was an Era (tm)

#Nscale news: the Rapido Budd gallery cars are here! These are easily the nicest Chicago commuter cars ever produced in N scale. My BN three-car set is pushed here by an old BLI CB&Q E7, because I haven't installed DCC in my BN E8 yet.

Pre-order surprise arrival! These gallery cars are so gorgeous, Rapido just keeps killing it with their N Scale releases, cannot wait to get my Caltrain Bombardier cars! (And hope they eventually do a Caltrain gallery car too!)

Was absolutely packed on he day - surprisingly so, and not a lot of room to manoeuvre for photography - but I got some stuff I'd say I'm happy with, plus some other potential reference stuff.

Okay with Pillowfort officially end-of-life, can I talk about the actual problem with Mastodon and Linux and switching to them - their strongest soldiers, their gospel-preachers, their true-believers, are the ABSOLUTE worst-suited candidates for job.

You throw in the confuse-opoly of getting started with either (which distro is right for you/ which instance gels with you most and won't be under before you have a foothold) and You Have an On-boarding Comms Problem and It Is Them. And I say this with some previous experience using BOTH.

¹ - ARod's new automatic blocking machine disproportionately blocking Trans Women. Granted- I'm on Northsky, and fairly anodyne with my posting and also already blocked, but it's hedge-betting season and I've got my secateurs out.

--talking down AT everyone they could and ,when asked about going forward with switching to their god-ordained platform, telling off the curious for their hubris,pointing them at Google and telling them to figure it out themselves Like, it's good to see that 90s/00s Linux Zealotry never died /sarc

So a couple of weeks ago, I really was on a tipping point for both- the realisation that after the post-EoL extended support expires on Win10 meant I'd have to eventually move my shit -somewhere-and 11 was NOT going to be it, AND the most recent round of Bsky moderation anti-trans oopsidoodles¹

at that exact moment in time I stumbled upon like three different conversations that ended up in the Masto/Unix acolyte proudly displaying their belligerence and contempt for literally everyone not using their preferred software/webservice - the exact same attitude for both the Fediverse and Unix--

funny how doctors at the gender clinic say things basically like "ok just before we wrap the diagnosis decision up i have to ask you that this isn't just some fetish" after you have already established things like "i would literally rather never be perceived than wear menswear in public again"
