Absolutely illegal!!!  

begpost :boost_ok: 

I have multiple bills to pay & a very short time frame in which to pay them. I'm on disability payments, which, although I do get more than if I was on another payment, doesn't cover it in the slightest...

My electricity bill is just under "AU"$450 (my electricity company fucked me over, basically), my phone bill of "AU"$80, & a weeks rent ("AU"$240). If y'all could donate to my PayPal (paypal.com/paypalme/HMNemulato), or at least boost, that'd be great. :^]

Hey, my computer is being pretty wonky and I need to replace most of the parts ASAP, so I'm doing some commissions again so I can afford it. If you've been waiting for me to open up comms again, here's your chance!

covid-19, worry, uni 

and yes, I am casually trying to see how things are going. I'm gradually getting more terrified as I get closer to uni starting because I'm worried we'll enter lockdown after I've already had to move there and then it'll be a logistical nightmare to get back.

(I'm quite pessimistic given how bad the stats have been the past few weeks :blobnervous:)

:oof:

covid-19, tech 

hm. the covid-19 dashboard for the UK's dead atm it seems, with a *super descriptive* (/s) error message, and the API simply sends nothing.

(the API definitely doesn't send any data; I checked in Chrome. It's not my lib at fault, I'm pleased to say!)

Spoiler: The Outer Worlds Peril On Gorgon; media (Kotaku) 

... I see Kotaku paid so little attention they didn't notice that in what they call the "good" ending, Minnie and Olivia are working on a *cure*, not the drug...

It's almost like you're supposed to pay attention to dialogue in a dialogue-driven game in order to appreciate the ending...

kotaku.com/the-outer-worlds-fi

At least they noticed there were 3 endings, unlike the earlier coverage.

Spoiler: The Outer Worlds Peril On Gorgon 

I find it funny how everything about the DLC so far suggests there's 2 endings and is all "omg the persuasions don't give a diplomatic end!!!" but like... I'm currently ending it diplomatically because fun fact: skill checks aren't the way to go. Knowledge > Charisma.

Anyway, I love this DLC. It's good.

y'all talk about how Tom Scott proved bisexuality is better than heterosexuality but nobody talks about how sex ended up on the 69th place

In other news, I really wish Mastodon had proper Markdown support. RIP.

Oh neat, Chrome finally has tab groups.

Is that new or did I just not notice?

So... Amazon's claiming they've changed a delivery date as "the release date [...] was changed by the supplier", yet they haven't changed the release date.

I'm fine with delays but... why the need to lie?

Started trying to get a handle on Rust and... huh, it's doing a good job so far of becoming my favourite language.
