I have to say, I am still boost shy here at #Mastodon - Simply because of negative experiences from the other "place". I always feel like I may annoy or over-boost - But then I remember, this is how it works here. This is how we support others and find those who interest us. Strange, shifting to a more enjoyable social media platform.

@duhdugg If you haven't played Stray, it was one of the best games I've played in a while. It's 20% off right now and is well worth the price.

It's a short game, but an excellent story. Very replayable.

Plays great on Steam Deck and Linux.

Great timing: Stadia refunded me ~$200 right before the Steam Autumn Sale. It's time to buy some games!

Hardware-wise I don't really have anything other than a GeForce Now subscription 🫤. I am thinking about getting a Steam Deck soon.

So I am looking for games that are playable on GFN and also the Steam Deck.

I am enjoying Mastodon, but was trying to explain it at dinner and someone said that, in the limit, it sounded like RSS done the hard way, and, man, I'm still salty about google reader.

Thanksgiving Dinner / Meat

My wife and I are never much into traditional Thanksgiving fare when we're celebrating as a couple, so we did Veal Parmesan with Marinara, Roasted Asparagus, and Angel Hair Pasta.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, don't tell anybody, but we're going to announce Palm Pilot emulation in the browser at Internet Archive in the next week or so. I've still got to get descriptions in for the hundreds of apps that are uploaded, and add a few more classics. But if you want to help with that, or just let me know how it's going, ping me here.

But don't tell anybody! It's a secret!

Are there any actually redeemable Pleroma instances, or are they all awful? Seems like every time I investigate one I end up adding it to my suspension list...
