Element | Secure collaboration and messaging Element is a Matrix-based end-to-end encrypted messenger and secure collaboration app. It’s decentralised for digital sovereign self-hosting, or through a hosting service such as Element Matrix Servic...

To anyone considering alternatives to Discord right now, Element is one to try. Although its UX makes it a pretty tough sell.

Realistically it should be a terrible game compared to Oblivion and beyond, yet I replay it every 2-3 years.

So, apparently 3/4 of the GOG FF releases come with Japanese, and 4/4 if you edit some fucking DLL file in IX (haven't tested yet). Super happy they're there now, but I wish Japanese devs would just release their games in all the languages they've made it in.

Few series have shaped gaming like FINAL FANTASY.

Today, four iconic entries join GOG – DRM-free and preserved for the future!

FINAL FANTASY III (3D Remake)
FINAL FANTASY IV (3D Remake)
FINAL FANTASY VIII – Remastered
FINAL FANTASY IX

Relive the magic!

I'm only on chapter 2 but damn, I hope Yakuza 0 stays this strong throughout. Wish the camera was better though.

You can afford to ignore politics outside of an election for as long as your democratic institutions function, but I'm not sure most people in the US realize just how close they are to a collapse, and how critical it is to start sounding the alarm *everywhere*.

It's like a lot of other underlying problems affecting your well being. You can't treat it by ignoring it, and the longer you do, the worse it's going to get.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

"Kukaan" tarkoittaen siis lähinnä Republikaaneja.

En oikeastaan edes ymmärtänyt kunnolla polarisoitumisen vaaroja ennenkuin näin miten se esim. ajaa mediaa yhä vain äärimmäisempiin suuntiin kun omia ei saa kritisoida puoluetta puolustaessa. Kaikki yhdysvaltojen perustuslailliset periaatteet heitetään bussin alle eikä kukaan uskalla sanoa mitään.

Handover to Brussels is planned for mid to late February!

WE DID IT!

The verification for the signatures of the European Citizens' Initiative against the destruction of video games has concluded. We have more than enough!

Screenshot showing my total playtime this year on GOG at 728 hours, game's acquired at 78 and games played at 89.

Screenshot showing my top 3 games played, Baldur's Gate II at 216 hours, Baldur's Gate at 93 hours and Divinity: Original Sin at 88 hours.

Screenshot of my most played game, Baldur's Gate II at 216 hours, 30% of all my playtime in GOG and with 0 achievements as the achievements are a Steam exclusive feature.

Screenshot showing playtime in pixel-like squares for each day of the year, mostly concentrated around 2nd and last 3rd/4th quarter.

Oh, GOG finally has a year in review, and a *proper* review after the year is finished. I can stop complaining.

I'm so sick of these doomer-fueled self-fulfilling prophecies where everything is a fucking hurricane we can do nothing about.

One unhinged leader isn't going to undo decades of alliance, unless headlines like these keep getting pushed and people just give up. You do *not* want a divorce and any sane person will fight to reverse course instead of this fatalist nonsese. Especially in the US.

I don’t know how the narrative of American democracy can survive this. The country voted to give the nuclear codes to a mental toddler who’s going to start a war because he didn’t get a participation trophy.

Unhinged

Average global temperatures are now around 1.4C higher than during the pre-industrial era, new data shows.

If the trend continues, the 1.5C limit set out in the Paris Agreement will be breached before the end of this decade.

I'm guessing if I wanted to get good at Material Maker from 0, I'd have to learn some other similar software first? I don't understand how people conjure up these crazy textures.

Absolute nonsense. Enough fatalism already, participate and *defend* it. This isn't a hurricane we have no control over.

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

Found the reserve bottle of maple syrup, crisis averted.

Wish BlueSky also had the technology to add custom emojis. I have no proper cofe drinking emoji to use here.

Just counted myself writing a message in Twitch chat and deleting it before sending 5 times in a row. I may have my filters on a little too strict.

Desperately trying to conjure up the creativity and vision for a new, proper SOON screen, but head empty.

True then. True now. “Change only happens when ordinary people get involved.” President Obama said, “And they get engaged, and they come together to demand it.”

As Discord begins to enshittify, I'll need to prepare my Element/Matrix sales pitch. Apparently dedicated voice/video chat rooms are now a thing as well.

So, I've been just listening to random albums off pitchfork to discover new music, but I assume the site is skewed a bit towards US music and I'd like a broader view of what's new. Anyone have any suggestions? Language not super important, but I can understand Finnish, English and Japanese.

Was not the intention with my nickname, but apparently it *was* a real Japanese name as well.
