Turbo Overkill is sort of Duke Nukem/Quake strafe boomer shooter with modern schmovement mechanics like Ultrakill.

Also another vote for Prodeus. It’s basically a Brutal Doom clone. It’s messy and gory and just a tone of mindless fun.

I’m playing Prey right now and it’s also a ton of fun trying to figure out ways to do stuff instead of running in all guns a-blazing. Still trying to figure out how stealth really works mechanically.

Similar mental capacity probs.

Been using Linux for over a decade and I will never go back lol.

My favorite thing about this was from a reddit post where all the shitlibs called them terrorists without a single shread of irony.

That’s just praxis. Keep it up comrade.

I’m as tankie as they come.

Heck, that’s probably good to know. Regular serif is cool too lol.

Lol, this post reminded me I never set up my fonts in VSCodium. Fixed!

For programming, I use JetBrains Mono. I saw it on a post on /r/programmerhumor once and sort of fell in love with it. Using it with a Tokyo Night theme in VSCodium(officially) and it’s really nice. Here’s a quick screenshot with some JS and HTML to get an idea:

For Sans, I really like both Roboto and SegoeUI but any of the top fonts on FontSource are nice. I’m using Poppins for a website now but I don’t like how it looks with heavier weights. It’s pretty thick. The CSS framework I am using has Inter as it’s first font and then falls back to the usual suspects. So Inter is starting to grow on me just for readability. Might switch back to it from Poppins to makes my life easier. I also like Montserrat because I’m basic. Lato, not so much. Also Arial and Helvetica are nice fallbacks.

For Serif, I’m not super picky but like you said, anything “newsy-looking” is probably good. I for some reason like Roboto Slab. I donno what the difference is between Serif and Slab though, if any.

DDG being down was the push for me to finally try SearXNG. Used it all day while working on code and it’s been pleasant. The search results are actually meaningful and it’s fast.

Right? They can say it runs locally all they want and not mention that once it’s connected to the internet, telemetry kicks in.

I’d be willing to test it but I’m too busy not using Windows ever again.

Extremely close actually. It’s Astro.

Not yet but I’ve looked into it.

I guess a hint is that is probably barely a JS framework and it’s for static sites.

A meme about all the various JS frameworks there are and the one I’m currently using isn’t even in it. JFC, what am I doing?

And new forms of government such as socialism are generally more succeptible to corruption as people find the new loopholes; as a government gets more corrupt, those who corrupted it seek to consolidate their power.

This is capitalism tho.

I grew one so people would stop thinking I’m 12.

I live in the Panhandle and it’s a hilarious satire on existence. People go to church and talk about community and family, but cheat on their spouses and screech about hyper individualism all the time. They threaten to shoot you with their “come and take it” guns for sneezing too close to their property but then if we get a bunch of snow dumped on us and traffic goes to shit, without fail, the good ol boys in their lifted trucks are all over the high way pulling stuck cars out of the snow. It’s bizarre.

Hold up, you can send and convert at the same time? Can you do this from a desktop or is this one of the few things that Android and Kindle can agree on?

For like a few years after I graduated I was going through my reformist phase and sort of wanted to go back and get a minor in PoliSci or something, but after I started getting more into theory I moved to the revolutionary camp and am at least thankful for not going further in debt.

It’s funny because I had 2 history professors and a econ professor that were all fairly cynical and jaded and I think they are partially responsible for my college era radicalizing. My econ prof was a former banker and was like “this is stupid and we just make money by using your money to make more money and it’s all stupid.” One of my history profs basically taught the same material you will get from reading “A People’s History of the United States” and watching the documentary “The Untold History of the United States.”

I also had a PoliSci professor that I appreciated because he taught in a fairly unbiased way that I was unable to peg if he was Dem, Rep, or other. It was a rarity since the college I went to was in the TX panhandle.

Well that worked. I tried that in the past too and it wouldn’t work for me for some reason.

I think it works the same. I can probably test it by seeing if it shows up on my phone when pushing to my reader.
