took a sleeper train to visit family, and while dozing had a dream that I was on Train Internet (a separate internet that could only be accessed while on a train). All I can remember of Train Internet is this meme, which I have dutifully reproduced here for the Regular Internet.

In 2015, a man commented "looks great!" on a picture of a cake his niece had baked, and that is the last normal thing anyone has said on the internet.

OK Go last night at Stubb's in Austin was great. It's a great venue for getting close to the band. Didn't hurt that Damian climbed out into the crowd a few times.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I'm super stressed right now so here's a recent favourite landscape from a few months ago again - Dunvegan in Alberta, Canada. This aerial embroidery took forever but was worth it 💚 the higher up perspective is more intricate and slower to sew I've found, more fiddly! #art

tl;dr - down with yellow paint
I had a great chat with Steve Lee on his career in games as a level designer. We talked about AAA games, indie games, level design, and yellow paint! Thanks, @stevelee.bsky.social hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Ever wanted to see what an indie game made by three game designers and an entomologist, in Unreal, using nothing but asset packs and blueprints looks like?

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.
