I finally watched the Good Place! It was incredible. I woke my wife up last night sobbing during the ending.
What I would give to experience the good place again for the first time.
Definitely one of the GOAT series that really doesn’t miss a beat from start to finish. And such a rare piece of media in today’s times that is basically pure positivity.
I discovered that show last year, binged the whole thing in 2 days, then immediately asked my wife to watch it with me and I binged it again. We both loved it!
There are quite a few things on IMDb called The Good Place
Gies a clue!
Thanks! Sounds interesting!
Accidentally replied to you instead of posting top level. Sorry.
I’ve been writing a software library that parses a military communications standard. Every time I push updates I get a hundred or so downloads immediately, and I’m probably on a watchlist now, but the code is fun.
What prompted you to start this project?
I’ve worked with the protocol before, and there aren’t a lot of parsing libraries - everyone is rolling their own in-house solution. Also, I wanted to do it in my language of choice lol
It would be interesting to see where in the world they are being downloaded.
It would be. Unfortunately, I don’t have that info.
Linux and foss software. You bunch of bastards now im a huge nerd
The solar eclipse in exactly two weeks. In preparing for it though, I’ve become amazed at the sheer recklessness people have shown in capitalizing on it. Ordinary people for example are renting their driveways for hundreds of dollars, weather anchors are claiming you can see the solar eclipse through the clouds to escape having to give overcast warnings, and I just bought solar eclipse glasses which I recently learned ignored a fatal manufacturing error that makes them 100% unusable. So I’ve felt forced to go full DIY.
I’m going to be pissed if this is how things are when Betelgeuse explodes, or I’m going to be exploding too.
I’ve played Rocket League a little bit since it came out, but I was never very good. Past couple months, I’ve been playing a lot more, and actually making contact with the ball in the air. I still can’t get past Gold, but I’m guessing the base-level skill has gone up a bit since it launched, or at least thats what I tell myself. I seem to destroy in casual and mostly get destroyed in ranked.
This is me except time flies, so I’ve been playing semi-regularly for a bit over a year, and can’t get past Platinum. Have fun and keep improving homie!
Ahh… Snowday was my go-to, and was what consumed most of my 3300hrs… I recently went cold turkey since they made Snowday only available every so often, and I simply just need to stop playing it. It took up too much of my time (clearly). Maybe I’ll install it in the future, but for now, I’m cool with the extra time for other activities (and games).
Biblical scholarship. I’m an atheist but after listening to Data Over Dogma podcast I’ve become very curious about the history of the Jews and early Christians and how the respective bibles were brought together.

Thanks mate, I will give it a go

Ice skating! The classes are pretty cheap,
3D printing. Don’t recommend it … it’s addicting.
Equal parts addiction, fun, and frustration!
Digital kitbashing for tabletop minis: using 3d modeling programs like Blender to hack together elements from different mini model files, in order to make custom minis to 3d print. I’ve even started playing around with rigging them so I can repose them easier.
That’s awesome. I’ve done Blender sculpting for video game projects, and I have a friend who is currently sculpting and kitbashing sculpts for his own minis. Definitely drop your work at any of these:
I’d be thrilled to see it come to completion, or even just see sculpting updates.
I’m still pretty early in my journey, building up a good kitbash library to pull from. Finding good models relatively unencumbered by accessories has been a task. At least some modelers upload models without remeshing, so the accessories/weapons can be removed easily, which is nice.
From video game stuff, I know your exact pain. Good luck going forward.
Freebords, it is kind of like a skateboard that acts more like a snowboard. Waiting for more dry weather to try and learn to use it!
Modern emo music. Started with Jank (I was late to the game and read up on it after the discovery) and I’ve done a deep dive into it. I’m mid-30s, always kinda looking for some new music, and the genre seems like a good mix of energy and interesting guitar licks. Just seems fun.
I say modern emo because to me emo was what the early 2000s produced.
Job for a Cowboy. Their latest album, Moon Healer, is fucking incredible. If you’re into technical death metal it’s a must listen

Getting high and watching anime really
