Buzzkill is very nice. I’m in a group chat that gets huge bursts of activity (like a hundred messages) and then goes dormant for a bit, so I set buzzkill to only give me at most 1 notification every 30 minutes, and keep the rest of them silent. That way I can still keep up with it without my phone blowing up
I could be completely wrong, but I think one of the first anomaly detection games was called “I’m on observation duty” which came out in 2018, but didn’t really get popular until late 2021 (when the fourth game in the series same out), about the same time “The exit 8” released funny enough.
That game is a little different where the player flips around security cameras and reports anomalies as they come up, but I think exit 8 was the first anomaly detection games that is “looping” and you have to decide whether to go forward or back depending on if there’s an anomaly
Humans evolved finger nails to separate Lego pieces
…I can’t think of a good reason for toe nails though
Oh I wish
Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks

I would absolutely go to this event
Ack librefm completely slipped my mind
AFAIK they’re two separate projects for the same/similar goal. I know ListenBrainz has a recommendation system, but it might still be in it’s early days
There’s ListenBrainz, the open MusicBrainz version of last.fm
The scout’s voice actor (Nathan Vetterlein) used to be super active, but a few years ago he said he’d be going on an “indefinite break” while he focused on other goals he had in life (presumably to do more than just be the “TF2 scout guy”).
His linked in currently says he’s working as a principle game designer at Wizards of the Coast

But I agree, with the other voice actors getting together and doing all these fun projects it would be awesome to see him again
Semantle is pretty fun. For every word you guess it tells you how semantically similar it is to the secret word.
You get unlimited guesses, so there’s no shame in throwing words at the wall and seeing what sticks
Well shit. That hit deep.
Thank you.
Haven’t tried it personally, but this might work: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox
Basically, instead of creating a fedora distrobox and installing davinci resolve in there, this is a pre built image that has all the dependencies and such ready to go.
You might be interested in https://inworld.ai/origins , a detective game where all the characters can be interviewed in natural language and respond with AI. They seem to be doing a pretty good job so far
I have no idea, but that would be pretty cool
The PDF multitool I’ve been using is Stirling-pdf, which has support for adding/removing passwords
Funny enough, I also learned about this tool from a previous edition of this newsletter haha

If it has to be Christmas for you to be nice
You’re an asshole
If you think the season is the reason
You’re a piece of shit
And calling people spineless if they can only make a change for the better if it’s New Year’s and hints that so much of the holiday just appearances
