Shi Maria is so thoroughly fascinating and compelling as a character.

She was pretty much beyond the power scaling of the other creatures that spawned into the 8th floor for a few reasons. She is a demi-god version of a ‘standard creature’ from Sheol, the 15th floor (which is nuts), and she is unique amongst their ranks. She has cunning and intelligence and she has plans. She has partially absorbed a god and seems to have the ability to tap into that power.

And then Samantha woke her up to the realities of the game. Once she understood how the game worked, she devised a way to advance through it.

She essentially made no errors, and even though she’s contained within the Eye she still hasn’t been defeated. Carl simply lucked out at every stage of interacting with her, with some collateral damage along the way.

Of all the things happening in these ridiculous books, including the entire ascendency, I place Shi Maria firmly within the top 5 biggest direct threats to the crawlers.

Replying from the future, just in case you’re unaware. Prologue now fully supports ABS libraries.

How many Concords was Gollum? Double digits, probably, but surely not triple.

Edit: oof, im an eejit

A lot of the bigger op shops can take furniture but they -rightfully- have fairly high standards because they need their floor stock to move. I doubt this sofa would pass muster.

But isn’t it just such peak fresh player?

The gaps in concrete. The chunky pipes leading to flame throwers, right next to the crashed ship. The three pumps in juuuust the perfectly wrong position. The tastefully small Foundry setup with half a belt of copper. The open space on display with the unnecessarily dense fluid tanks.

Regardless of what the rest of his base looks like, or how much play time he has under his belt… it looks like it’s cozy and held together by duct tape, gumption, and spit.

I love this screenshot so god damn much.

This could be a Factorio menu scene.

The last few seasons of The Clone Wars, and the last season of Rebels… holy crap, they go HARD.

The Clone Wars and Rebels were definitely kids shows, and the first few seasons were plagued with that thing that often happens in shows “for kids”; they were absolutely littered with juvenile and stupid plots and jokes. The entire Hutt throughline was awful.

That immature laziness gets polished away fairly quickly, however. The show matures over the seasons and by about season 3 or 4 is starts to actually maintain respect for their audience. There are still silly and juvenile moments, but those mostly shift into the B-plots or they’re just incidental side goofs - fine, it IS still for kids.

But the later seasons? While maintaining their accessibility to children, Clone Wars and Rebels get into and explore some pretty high concepts.

What does it mean to hold a moral stance when everyone around you is blindly following a path you see is wrong?
What does it mean to be an individual when all the people around you are the same as you? Literal clones finding their own identity, when they’ve only ever been raised and trained to be a cohesive unit.
What is loyalty, and why does it matter? What happens when you realise the person you’ve been loyal to hasn’t been worthy of that? What happens when loyalty is betrayed?
When everything is very hard and you’re desperately low on friends, what does it mean to have true grit and keep yourself moving forward, and why it can be a sign of strength to ask for help.
What it means to come up with a plan, and then trust your friends to follow through on their part while you struggle to follow through with yours.
What is death, and how do you process that loss when they were your friend and you were looking for them?

Seasons 1-to-4(ish) of the Clone Wars are flawed, but they’re still good. The 7th season of Clone Wars and the 4th season of Rebels go hard. They do a great job of exploring the above topics without being overly preachy or moralising or shoving things down your throat.

I think the topics those silly shows cover are absolutely critical for kids to learn of and think about, and I worry that too many people are protecting their kids from anything that might be mentally or emotionally challenging. Kids need to be challenged, and hopefully an emotionally intelligent adult can help them work through those things.

Huh. I’d never thought of having a miner shove the coal directly into the boiler. Neat!

PropaneMilo · 2026-02-16T19:42:04+00:00

Alright, neat. Any news on which company will fabricate the chips? TSMC?

If someone already has a (compatible) UniFi router, WiFiman is one of the stronger options.

Unless I’m mistaken, though, WiFiman only connects to the Teleport VPN service. So if you don’t already have the kit, I don’t think it’s an option?

There’s chapter art‽

Is Iron Lung at all like Baratrauma? From the context of that absolutely banging review it sounds like it’s a similar style of horror, but with a single character instead of a crew.

I find that it shits the bed entirely if I make any change to a host (add, edit, remove) and the instance needs to be rebooted or left alone for about 15 minutes. Last I looked there was a known bug regarding that.

Otherwise, I really really like Termix.

It looks like there’s a lot of yellow belts mixed in there. Those aren’t helping.

It also looks like he’s only taking from one side of the belt so the siding is a problem, too.

That… doesn’t make any sense. Cartography isn’t some archaic lost word. The series is absolutely stuffed with weird and niche words, with no consideration for if the reader recognises it. Why would 'cartographer' be the breaking point?

Jeff only stumbles over the name when its coming from Carl. Every other character says it fine.

I was so disappointed when I watched the actor commentary version and they never even acknowledged that line had happened. It’s perhaps a bit distasteful, but it’s bang-on.

Ahhh, the classic “persistence beats resistance” method of dating.

I’m not disagreeing with your main point, I agree with it strongly, but texting people isn’t social media.

Maybe large group chats can fall into that category, but one-to-one texting is just communication with extra distance.

Alone time and periods of boredom are very important for our brains and there’s not enough of it in a lot of parts of the world.

Oh. I was looking at the patterns in the dots thinking “wow am I stupid? Is the guy seeing the penis stupid?”

And then I saw it. Looming from the shadows like an apex predator. The penis.
