This guy makes awesome videos as well as some awesome Godot add-one. His Resource Groups add-on as well as his State Charts add-on are integral to my current project and they’re fabulous.

Homebrew is so fun, and I love how you can make it as complex as you want. Like, you can just mix some honey and some water (in the right ratio) and let it sit, and you’ve got mead! Or you can add flavors. Or experiment with yeasts. Or brew beer and experiment with hops and grains. It’s a hobby that really meets you where you want it to.
I recently got into video game development, and I’ve had so much fun, and it’s given me some much-needed meaning. I’ve solved problems unique to my game using programming skills as well as game design skills, and it feels meaningful because i can send it to my friends and they can enjoy it without needing to appreciate any of the technical aspects. I get to be creative about how people I care about can have more fun. It could also involve your music composition hobby, since every good game needs some music and sound design! I’m a programmer for my day job so most things I do there are only meaningful to other programmers, and the problems I solve there are incredibly boring ones.
Edit: I saw your comment about being burnt out on programming, and I totally understand that. That happens to me frequently. I enjoy programming as a hobby when I’m not burnt out so we’re kinda in different boats there. There are lots of skills involved in making games and the variety has really refreshed me, though I’ve still gotten sick of sitting at a computer while working on it.
There are a bunch of message broker services out there, and having a consistent set of common keys along with a documented process for transforming events to/from different systems means that this kind of data can move through different systems without getting mangled. It does have a spec for JSON, so it can be considered just a standardized JSON blob with transformation rules. But it also has a protobuf spec, specs for MQTT, NATS, HTTP, Avro, etc. It’s a common language for all these systems.
I’m really into CloudEvents because I love event-driven systems, and since events can come from, or be consumed by, so many different services, having a robust spec is super duper useful.
Why is nobody talking about the mouthfeel?
Objectively incorrect I hate that goddamn gopher
Oh these? My orbies? My massive fucking prognosticators? My super stuffed up scryers? My honker donker divination doinkies? My fucking future-stretching butterly-wing-flapping, probability-welling hex mounds?? Do you mean these super-augured goddamn mother-fortuned ORBS???

Many tools that use GPG, especially package managers, will download keys so they can verify signatures. It’s nothing to worry about. That developer probably signed something you use.
Omg funny seeing you here, sweetheart.
Where’s my matrix invite
Okay :3c
I’m lucky enough that a couple of my friends are willing to use Matrix to message me, but most communities I’m a part of are on Discord.
“Spam trap” and “spam honeypot” are exactly the keywords to search for. I found a bunch of info about some services you can use to set them up. I’d recommend adding “-avoid” to your search filters because every email marketer has their own article titled “About Spam Traps and How to Avoid Them” which just pollutes search results if you’re actually looking to set up your own.
Speaking of a “black hole” email address, are there any addresses set up for the purpose of catching spam? Like if Gmail had an address for spam that contributed to its spam detection.
Warframe’s The War Within was better.
(Probably. I’m never touching WoW, I was an EverQuest 2 kid and I’ll remain such until the day I die)
I think that’s valid. It does affect immersion I think. On the other hand, I find that dubs can take out some immersion for me too cuz it often just sounds like voice actors voice acting instead of a character speaking. Also I just started learning Japanese and it’s fun to say phrases I’ve heard before.
What worked for me is learning some better letterforms from some free images from the Write Now book (by Getty-Dubay) on italic cursive. It’s a different kind of cursive from the awkward one I was taught in school, and it’s a lot easier to write and read.
I think the biggest improvement in my handwriting was just finding letterforms in that book that are both easy to write but that are also more clearly distinguishable when you write quickly. For example, just putting a little curl at the bottom of my lowercase T’s, I’s, and L’s made them a lot more aesthetically pleasing but also more clearly distinct from other letters.
Once you find some letterforms like that, it just takes a little practice to rewrite your muscle memory.
