Fullofshititis. To be fair, he also suffers from a genetic million-dollar-loan disease. His brain was probably riddled with it at a young age. Never had a chance, but that's still no excuse.

I'd almost say he has some weird-ass DNA that allows him to survive it like Ozzy, but it's probably just the capitalism worms.

I don't know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won't see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance's users.

I'm less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn't see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won't see it yourself. You'd probably have to block each user individually since I don't think Lemmy has that functionality.

I'm not sure it fits perfectly, but clank is one I've really enjoyed with 3 players. It shines with 3, but 2 can play as well. It's a dungeon race at its core, so there's slightly less going on with fewer players.

Another that might fit even better is wingspan/wyrmspan. They also shine with 3, but are more about your own buildup, pretty chill, and even work down to solo play.

Edit: if you like card games, especially euchre, California Jack is one I found to be pretty fun and unexpectedly interesting with two people. The scoring is a nice twist. It's a trick-taking game just like euchre, but you also tally up your cards at the end. It lends pretty well to some light strategic play. I also have to mention Golf, just because I've had a good time with it. Card games can be classic and cozy.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the "quality control" is what I had heard about.

Yeah, I'm more worried about the output of AI getting involved than anything regarding the input, at least as far as a public forums go.

There's a larger cone man out of frame trying to coax the hatchlings across the street

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won't want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it's just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I've also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you're bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there's a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don't have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you're looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you're interested.

He can't ult again for a while, so it's safe for now.

Nichijou was the first thing I thought of. It's just so carefree and cute, but unexpectedly wild. I love absurdist humor, too.

On top of that it's the first time I really "got" anime, so it's sentimental. I clicked with it hardcore, and was embarrassed about it for a while.

Just imagine anime night with the bros, watching sword art, and you're the only one who just needs to fit in another episode of Nichijou lol

Being the change you want to see in the world. I like it.

From what I've seen of interchangeable sets, these don't look bad! Not a bad join at least. Are the needles fairly solid?

I bent a pair of hiyahiya sharps accidentally sitting on them lol. Luckily it worked out bending it back with just a slight crease.
