I got a really cute picture of Sherbet (pony form) with my friend's pony Mendy Heart!
I got a picture of my character Button (designed by https://twitter.com/diddgery) from https://twitter.com/dandelionlambs !
They're a big cute plush skunk taur.
And here's Rocket (designed as a collaborative effort between https://twitter.com/diddgery and I) also drawn by https://twitter.com/dandelionlambs !
A reminder that Mastodon and the Fediverse do NOT use cryptocurrency, blockchains, NFTs, tokens, coins, mining, web3 or anything like that.
Masto and the Fedi run on traditional servers and use a sustainable network federation model somewhat similar to e-mail (that's why Fediverse addresses look similar to e-mail addresses).
Also a reminder there are no venture capital firms or other investors either. No one owns the network, each server is independent. Masto and Fedi server running costs are paid by their owners, sometimes with donations from users.
No one is getting rich from the Fediverse, it is all volunteers with some getting donations and a few getting modest grants from foundations. Please remember this when you interact with admins or developers.
(There might be some individual users who post about cryptocurrency/blockchain, but the infrastructure this place runs on doesn't use it at all.)
Tl:dr - Decentralisation does NOT mean cryptocurrency/blockchain
The Linux port of Psychonauts 2 will land next week https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/05/the-linux-port-of-psychonauts-2-will-land-next-week/ #HumbleStore #NativeLinux #Adventure #Upcoming #Steam #GOG
I'm glad https://freerct.net/ developed further past the last time I looked at it, and OpenRCT2 existing didn't kill it
A good crypto debunker for the tech-inclined
A Computer Science lecturer at Berkeley presents a lecture to immunise his students against the stupidity of Blockchain.
It has some eye-opening stats I didn't even know of like the entire Etherium Virtual Machine has a total processing capacity of 600,000 additions/sec that costs $250/sec to use. A Raspberry Pi 4 can do 3,000,000,000 additions/sec for a one-time cost of $45.
Are you ready to complete Ultima VI: The False Prophet?
Running in Nuvie, if anyone's wondering how I transformed that tiny postage-stamp sized world window into a full-screen RPG.
Nuvie is now part of ScummVM, so just install the latest version of that for the bells-and-whistles experience (or the classic original, if you prefer).
Lottie (or Charlotte), She/Her, 22, sorta gamedev and kind of artist. And kind of an annoying Linux nerd sorry. 18+ followers only please :)
