    For the metal heads in here, a new Blood Incantation album just dropped. It incorporates their prog elements with their metal side of things really well. First impressions are I really like it and it just might be my album of the year.

    Bought a lil indie game called Tiny Glade. Super fucking chill, no management, no quests, no objectives. Just some basic tools, cute, tilt-shifted graphics, and you build a tiny lil town. It’s adorable and so so relaxing. I was worried for a moment about it being perhaps too barebones, but I’ve built a main street, a lil castle, raised some land and made a flower hill with a lake, and made a silo. There’s a lot they could add, but it’s a bit procedural in a way (increasing/decreasing the size and shape of a building causes it to generate to make sense). Coloured everything I could colour. I have so much more to build for my little hamlet

      Also have a look at Townscaper. That might be too basic maybe.

      I have islanders but that’s got a little bit of a twist with laying out stuff and makes you think.

      WA had a three year trial from 2007-2009. It was fine, but they had a referendum and voted against adopting it. But everyone spent three years talking about it.

      I moved to Melbourne in 2008. Melbourne didn’t talk about Daylight Savings by comparison, nobody seemed to mention it at all. You just adjusted your clocks and went about your day. It was refreshing. By about 2012, most of the clocks would adjust themselves.

      I wish! Been every other year, but couldn’t afford it this time :(

      Are you more interested in the video games? Or the board games? Dice?

      I always loved the miniature painting and the team games with the motion controllers they do. And trying out all the board games and card games they have. I also like going to the talks they do, some are so so interesting. And then all the cosplay, people put so much effort, time and love into making amazing displays, and I am just in awe everytime I see them.

    Had a convo with a couple of colleagues the other day about dark mode. They dont understand how I can work with it. I dont understand how you can use all white in office or outlook and that NOT hurt your eyes? so DT, what do you use? I’m dark mode all the way. Windows, Office apps, even my phone.

      Dark mode all the way. Your colleagues are weird.

      source
    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Dark more, no argument. The only correct answer is dark mode. It’s easier to see, write, and read, and doesn’t give me a headache.

      Normal/light mode, I can literally feel my eyes strain and ache, my retina blasted away by the searing white light.

      source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yep, dark mode whenever possible. I’ve got some beefy 4k monitors so they put out some light when the screen is all white

      I’m the freak that uses light mode. But after all these comments, I’m going to give dark mode another go. I’ve never had it on for more than 5 minutes once to decide I didn’t like it.

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Dark mode and night mode. So much better for my eyes.

      source
    • Nath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m logging into and out of too many systems/servers etc in a day to tweak everything everywhere to Dark Mode. Ask me if I prefer it, then yes. Am I going to modify this remote server’s settings to Dark Mode (assuming the OS even supports it)? meh.

      I am comfortable either way. I will say that my personal computer is configured for Dark Mode, if that somehow answers the question. Oh, my Kindle app on phone/tablet is absolutely set to Dark Mode. That’s probably the one case where I would mind. I wouldn’t want to read a book for several hours without dark mode.

    Have made a Dr appointment for tomorrow. I’ve got these weird things which came up on my arms in a few spots in the past couple of weeks. Thought they were ringworm or similar fungal thing, was treating them with OTC topical cream. Was wondering how TF I got it. But the cream didn’t work and they’ve flared up hugely as a result of my treatment 😳☹️ The same thing happened with my feet a couple of years ago; I thought it was tinea, treated it accordingly and the whole situation got instantly massively worse and it turned out to be eczema.

    source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Might be stress-related psoriasis. I have that in my hairline and the outside of my elbows, and its a pain to deal with. Cortisone cream works quite well. If the things are scaly patches that flake off leaving a red sore mark. Might be worth raising this with the dr.

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I have psoriasis, behind my ears. It rarely comes up on my face but doesn’t stick around. I’ve tried so much to treat it, and I really think it’s stress/mental health. So annoying. Been there since I was a kid, but usually migrates every few years slightly.

        I have a new cream to try though, so we’ll see how that plays out.

      I come out in hives that could be anything from stress to chemical sensitivity to a virus or mast cells.

      Be careful if you try cortisone cream - maybe patch test it first before slathering it all over. As I find it just causes redness and stinging for me

      source
    • bacon@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      got my first round of eczema earlier this year (which i ignored and used the wrong stuff on until i finally saw a GP a few months later for something else), a ridiculous amount of moisturiser every few hours and a little cortisone did the trick

      source
    • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Tinea cream can make eczema worse and vice versa, and the skin breakdown from eczema can mean fungal infections take hold more easily, too. My dr suggested mixing a little of both treatment creams together, if either single treatment wasn’t working.

      It might be contact dermatitis or something like that - have you been using any new products lately?

    TGIF. Not much to do today except make some tutorials out of some meetings I had last week.

    Well plans changed with my having to help family with their stuff and also with me making a stuff up so I ended up not having much to spend on myself in the end.

    I’ve limited myself to a coffee so far.

    The cafe I’m sitting at wanted 15 dollars for a chicken schnitzel roll with a layer of lettuce, 3 slices of tomato and it didn’t look too big.
