Not Built in a Day Fest Taking Applications!

This is my first Steam Fest, focusing on older games that kept improving at their labor of love! If you released a game a while ago, but still continued to improve and build upon it even if it didn't do so well on launch, this Fest is your second chance to bring new players!

Specific Requirements

  • Game must have released/EA'ed at least 18+ months ago
  • Published a major content update in the past 12 months (See the application form for clarification)

I hope Valve will approve this. It's not a niche that people are attracted to at the moment, and I hope to change that.

DEADLINE: Aug 30

APPLY: https://tally.so/r/9qY2jQ

To Attack or Dodge?

I kinda like choice-based Attacks. Not discarding gives the one playing this a Market, and it only allows one discard (usually) before Marketing.

What do y'all think?

Commission Artists and Game Streamers?

I am seeking Twitch streamers who stream BOTH commission art AND a variety of indie games in a roughly balanced measure. I'm looking to do a study of sorts.

Comment below if you fit that profile.

This game is Conlang Space Google Translate Simulator and you should play it!

I'm a Muse Hunter for indie video games. I found this incredible conlang game in demo phase called Gata Guressi, and I've written a very glowing review.

Wishlist/Play here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3962430/Gata_Guressi/

This game is my first exposure to conlanging. And I am captivated by it in a way I haven't felt towards a game in a very long time.

The premise is setup simply. You need to search for your sibling who went AWOL in a multicultural interplanetary trade port, but you only know one of the several fictional languages in the solar system, so you receive a translator device to help. You (the player) are translating the dialogue in the conlangs. Cue Act 1.

Both the MC's personality and overall character writing is what gives this world meaning, and makes you want to engage with the conlangs because you want to understand the people living there. And the parallels to machine translation and you roleplaying as the device is incredibly relevant to the current zeitgeist. Did you know language models were originally developed for machine translation?

Read Full Review on my Personal Blog

But I just conlanged in someone else's conlang in the cover image of the blog post. I've noticed many of you seem to have a pipe dream of convincing others to speak yours'? This is the master class in how to do it.

Nugo    el    iego  ogeles !     Clekitagego kiloul !
Go-INF  alone is    dangerous !  Take        this !

"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!"

(Also the BIOS needs to be flashed to the latest version cause PCPartPicker is giving me that warning.)

What if you allocated care based on how they treated their own kids in life?

So assisted living employees are burnt out and underfunded, no? But that's because their triage is according to necessity not karma.

I propose sending a survey to their children inquiring about how the patient treated them in life, and prioritizing care to those that treated their own kids well.

This would allow you to not spread resources too thin. Good parents would be very few of them among your patients, I think. And you can sleep easy knowing those that couldn't be cared for at least earned it. Regardless of which camp the patient is in, the clients would be quite happy.

Troubled Parent Service?

Is there a service for troubled older parents similar to the TTI?

I'm in my parents house, and they're emotionally abusive. I was sent to a psych ward once by a friend and they bring it up every time I have a minor side effect of one of my meds, this time at 5 am unprompted.

They bring it up all the time to tell me they're the only ones who will put up with me. As if the friend that sent me there didn't truly realize she made a mistake and apologized for it.

After I told them multiple times not to comment on my meds and let my doctor do his job and he made (more) empty threats to kick me out of the house.

I have some money of my own left, but not enough to move out.

I want the following:

  • A paid service that can take them for a surprise ride in a van.
  • Optionally, actual placement in a similar facility. Though the van should be enough to make them understand what I went through.

Please help me. With how angry y'all are, surely the market would have provided a similar service for personal closure.

Cheaper Newsletter service for power users?

I'm hosting a personal blog by https://pages.sr.ht and I wanted an accompanying mailing list newsletter. Unfortunately the mailing lists sourcehut provides are not designed for newsletters; they're designed for git-send-email workflows the way God and Linus Torvalds intended. My blog is for a non-technical audience, but I'm technically proficient and want a newsletter service that respects that. Specifically:

- Send welcome letter on subscribing and similarly unsubscribing

- Put their name in the email via template (maybe, not super important)

- Have some easy widget where they can *click an html form button* on my site and it subscribes them

- look at who is subscribed

- Have a custom-formatted plaintext part — I like the a11y of text/plain and pandoc doesn't quite cut it

- Disable tracking pixels — they're a scourge on the Internet and most email clients block them anyway

- No fancy formatting. I basically just want to write the emails in some flavor of Markdown

- pipe any replies to my personal email; but with some spam protection

- some way to ensure bots don't subscribe?

Mailchimp et al are very expensive 🙁 So I seek something that is way less pricey but as a tradeoff assumes more technical proficiency; cause I have it!

The One counterexample to FOSS

So Obsidian is Free Software (as in freedom of use), but NOT open source. You have it forever on download, your data is yours forever, and the vibrant plugin scene makes it clear that modifying the software is totally cool.

I never thought I'd see one of those in the wild. In practice, the venn diagram between Free(dom) and Open Source is practically a circle.

Hugo with Obsidian wikilinks and comments

So I'm using the Hugo SSG for my personal blog with Obsidian. It's serviceable, though it does not parse wikilinks or comments correctly, leaving them as-is in the output.

I want to use Hugo's features to process these two things correctly; turning them into actual links and stripping out md comments. And I also want an "elegant" solution that is ideally self-contained. Like one thing I tried was piping the RawContent into a Regexp and then a RenderString, but that came with a host of other problems due to being garbage spaghetti code:

<!-- ABSOLUTE TRASH. Not like this. -->
{{ define "main" }}
{{ .RenderString (replaceRE `\\((\!?)\[[[^]]*]])` `$1` (replaceRE `(^|[^\\|!]{1})(\!?)(?:(\[\[([^]||]*)]])|(\[\[([^]||]*)\|([^]]*)]]))` `$1$2[$4$7](internalwiki "$4$6")` .RawContent)) }}
{{ end }}

And I think Hugo's Render Hooks are the way, but from what I've read they only apply once goldmark recognizes those elements as links, tables, etc. and I need it to recognize Obsidian's syntax as links/comments to begin with.

And googling forums wasn't useful.
Anyone else use Hugo, and if so how do you get it to play nice with Obsidian?

A cat managed to catch 27 mice and carefully lined them all up to show off his 'work' to his owner.

These are some art pieces of black cats posted by a BlueSky user named cerisewander

I think it may be AI because the art is good looking yet the account is less than 3 days old and humans generally don't spawn on the Internet making good illustrations?
But I know that is NOT evidence in the slightest.

Nor do I know how to tell from the content of the image itself, so.

▲ 10 r/Nootropics+1 crossposts

So. I have formally diagnosed ADHD and am in a position where I must use my (amphetamine-based) stimulants sparingly due to a shaky insurance situation.

So I'm looking into Nootropics. Caffeine has of late been making me very very ill. As in vomiting. I used to be able to chug 20oz of black cold brew, but no longer.

I've been trying the sketchy Amazon nootropics but since they also have caffeine I'm trying to avoid those.

However I have found that opening the capsule and putting like half the powder into my Matcha Tea gives me the "calmness" effect and not make me throw up. I do not know why a straight capsule vs dissolved powder works differently but it does.

So yeah. I want a non-caffeine nootropic from a non-sketchy supplement supplier for (admittedly severe) executive function problems.

Any advice?

I know about the letter wherein he clarified Cthulhu is explicitly male and would take offense to being "sissified". But are we sure that wasn't because he lacked the frame of mind to comprehend binary genders as a uniquely Earth thing?

He understood that no matter how much "the sciences each straining in their own direction" discovered, there would be something unknowable. I feel like if he were ever exposed to modern concepts of gender identity, he would absolutely Go Insane and write something to the order of:

> X̷̙͊H̵̱̋͋Ē̴̜ͅ POSSESSES AT LEAST ONE NAME YET EVERY NAME IS X̷̙͊H̵̱̋͋Y̴S DEAD-NAME.

...I may have been touched unnecessarily by Eldritch forces in writing that. I did once doodle some fanart that was this idea in a more humorous tone:

The idea of one of the Miskatonic faculty being a mutated human(?) and all xeir colleagues are like "this is fine" just sends me.
