The code works. I'm not in control of the embedding.

Ah, it's embedded for me in FireFox. Are you using Chrome or something else? Here's another: Ok, I'm done making image files from text for tonight.

So I made this: And I'm kind of amazed this forum allows you to embed this. So why am I posting an image in a coding thread you ask? Well, that's because no graphical software has been used in creating it. This was all done in notepad++. I'm also trying to learn some Python, never used it before until a few months ago, and it comes with my raspberry pi anyway (although updating is took quite some effort). I used Python to randomly generate a triangle a certain position. I needed some vector graphics as a decoration. Suffice it to say, this would be a chore to do manually.

Jezus, what a mess.

Quick heads-up, but around this time you have the best chance of seeing comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). You'll have to google for your local specific details.

Not even a little prize? Was it Covid? Did you try to get one? I'm sure you can get one with some effort. If I remember correctly I've read a story about a guy who was of Iranian descent who had trouble going to the US, but managed to do it eventually. If he can do it, you can as well. Anyway, have fun, I'm a little jealous.

Snipperclips is a perfect date game.

This is the one I'm looking forward to at the start of the year, it opens next week I believe.

Analogue, fully mechanical photography is hard work! Yeah.. This was a bit of an experiment. And.. I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this, but for those curious:

Low effort shot (with a little easteregg): I'll post the high effort shot in the photography thread!

Which is one of the reasons I grow tired of streaming services. I quit my subscription about a year ago, thinking I was going to get a one month subscription every now and then. It was almost time! I wanted to see 1899, amonst a few other things.. But I don't think I'll bother at this point. Think I'll just quit streaming services altogether.

Just some Lego and a book that unfortunately didn't get in here in time. The book is The Three Body Problem, the Lego.. I'll post a picture in the Lego thread when I'm done with it.

Merry Christmas!

It was playing in the cinema, I saw it yesterday (with the song included). It's been a while since I've seen it, but that applies to every adaptation I've ever seen, so I have no idea which one would be the best! My favourite moment: I think I like the one with Patrick Stewart as well.

Wow. How many boulders do you even get for that price point? Technically just one. The other is a hard place.

Starting February the price for my boulder subscription increases with 16 euros. Ouch.

Apparently I played so little this year, I didn't even get an e-mail.

A bit early, but Merry Christmas motherfuckers. Made with Midjourney, linked in the OP. It's a fun result, but not a good result. Maybe I'll try out Dalle at some point, supposedly it's better. Edit: And another one. .. Don't ask. Edit 2: And last one for today.

So is it dead? Or are those reports greatly exaggerated? I was actually considering getting rid of my account at some point, but for other reasons. I think Twitter's getting more and more annoying, on the other hand, it still occasionally keeps me in the loop on certain things, so I'm not sure yet. What are you guys doing?

I'll keep it short: I believe I'm in the minority, but I actually though Wakanda Forever was disappointing. It didn't really feel like a Black Panther film to me. Everything regarding the politics didn't make sense to me, I'm not sure why Aquaman thought it was a good idea to attack Wakanda, in order to stay hidden. Or something. Wasn't a fan of Irongirl's introduction. And.. I'm not sure why Wakanda thought it was a sound tactic to counterattack the water people.. By sending one boat to the middle of the ocean. I'm still looking forward to Ant-man and now.. Guardians of the Galaxy.

Had nobody seen Black Panther 2 yet? The first few reactions I'm seeing are positive. I'd have seen it already if I didn't agree to go with other people.. I'm seeing it Saturday.

The avarage customer is not going to be aware that what you don't pay in money when buying a Meta headset, you pay in data.

I've been thinking about magazines in general lately, I even ordered one this month, a Dutch magazine about outdoor lifestyle en sports. Gaming magazines? I don't see me buying any of those. I've never bought them regularly anyway. I had a subscription to the Dutch official Nintendo magazine in the 90s, but apart from those I only have a small selection of gaming magazines like the Power Unlimited, which is the most popular gaming magazine here in The Netherlands (I assume, I don't have any statistics). I get all my gaming info from the internet. I do actually have a pretty large collection of.. Fashion magazines and men's magazines. Probably around 300. But you're talking about gamings magazines in particular, so I won't elaborate.
