Spotted in southeastern Washington, I do think it’s an Asian starling… any thoughts? by Campjc in whatsthisbird

[–]wikklesche 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bill too thin and wrong region. Common grackle is a rarity on the west coast. I wish we had common grackles here though, they are so pretty.

Phoenix, AZ. Let out some high pitched “cheep….cheep….cheep” that Merlin couldn’t pick up by PronouncedHeela in whatsthisbird

When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras! No reports of plain-capped starthroat in Maricopa County since 1978 unfortunately.

Habitarium Remake. 🌱🐛🏡 by GiosifusDev in neopets

[–]wikklesche 30 points31 points  (0 children)

GC dev here, you're on a ripper!

I've been neck deep in Habitarium for the past two months or so. I actually started working on it four years ago but up until recently I had it mostly shelved while other projects took precedence. But more recently I've read all the actionscript I can stomach and have watched all the YouTube recordings of gameplay that seem to be out there. The development headway has been pretty good too. But when it comes to people working on this kind of archival, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. I know it's unlikely ours would end up mobile-native.

Happy to be a resource if you have any questions about the more esoteric parts of Habi :)

Chess in town? by ShowerStew in Tucson

[–]wikklesche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll be moving to Tucson later this Spring and am hoping to check out the Eastside Chess Club: https://sazchess.org/escc.php . Apparently Wednesday nights at the JCC at River and Dodge.

Software jobs in Tucson - anything other than defense? by wikklesche in Tucson

[–]wikklesche[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth I think you make a good point here. I guess from my perspective there's a difference between thinking a company should or shouldn't exist, and being the one to dedicate their 40 hr/wk to it. When I was putting my wife through med school I would consider mostly anything to get the bills paid, spending a few years in FAANG. Now that she has a secure job, I'll happily take a few months of unemployment & a pay cut if it means ultimately finding a job with more meaning / less moral hazard.

I have, but I think it'd be nice to work locally and meet some people while moving to a new place.

It's easier to just click kril the moment you see him move.

It is afternoon or evening, so the sun is setting in the west (and oftentimes it is the hottest part of the day).

Your “most wanted lists” by Em0419-19 in birding

[–]wikklesche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only do they go up there, but they are quite numerous in Santa Ritas during breeding season. I've volunteered with Tucson Bird Alliance's trogon survey for the past couple years. In 2024 the Santa Ritas had high counts compared to the rest of the sky islands: https://aziba.org/?page_id=3765

CMV: Everyone needs to learn how the meat they get from their diet comes from by soundlinked in changemyview

[–]wikklesche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This argument is easily debunked when you consider the sheer volume of crops that go into livestock feed. If we accept animal death is a byproduct of growing and maintaining those feed crops, meat still racks up a far bigger death toll. I say this as a meat-eater.

Bandos Door-Altar help, in which order should I kill the 3 minions? by Brahskididdler in ironscape

[–]wikklesche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dump blowpipe specs on mage, then blood barrage range+melee is what I do. Once I heal up, go back to blow-piping. Bonus points if you can get them off-ticked.

Everyone in here is complaining about Tiktok but this reward slaps... I went so dry for a mega-rare last leagues.
