Managed to find an alt I forgot I made and gave up using years ago. I do wonder about other high up people. Like what about our mutual histories makes us have similar word usage? Are we from the same areas or did we hang out in similar places online?

In Seattle at least they do posters. Mostly in Cap Hill (the gay area). The super small stuff is generally social only but anything with an actual venue will pop up. 19hz is also a good resource, it's searchable and city specific.

19hz has a good listing of events. A lot of it is announced on Instagram or Telegram (or the old classic of looking at the fliers on the telephone poles of cap hill). Renegades still happen (the bridge has been a super popular spot) but that season is sorta over. I more favor the Kremwork (that's more my scene) or digital hardcore shows which seem to just pop up everywhere.

PNW in general. Seattle is for sure active. They're not even that hard to find if you go looking for them.

I'm a big fan. For me a lot of the fun was mastering that movement system. The way the game is set up it incentives you to be fast and take risks. To get around faster you have to treat yourself the same as the chunks of the ship, using the tether to pull yourself in. You can also magnetize yourself to the hull and spider around like that. With upgrades and practice I was able to get most of the smallest level of ships done in one in game day.

I've been thrifting a bunch recently and it's amazing how different even a 90s tshirt feels compared to a modern one. There's a heft and thickness to it that just doesn't seem to be the priority anymore. Also everything now seems to not be just cotton but blend in something that lets it stretch.

I think that the issue is that it's always assumed that similar things are a better recommendation. The issue is at least for myself and other people I've talked to about that a lot of times we're looking for something different from the last thing. For example if I spend a week listening to vintage surf rock the recommendations that could be given might be 60s pop, or more surf rock. But what actually I wanted was to listen to experimental jazz with a retro funk twist on it. How could they anticipate that? Talk to anyone who's deep into some art form, movies, tv, music, and you'll see recommendations given that maintain vibes more than just similar things.

What are people using for rss on mobile? I feel like that's the biggest change, at least for me. The way I consume news moved from something I did on my laptop to something I did on my phone.

I would if I could program them relatively easily. And if there were other colors then just red LEDs.

I switched to movies only because I realized that TV was encouraging this behavior. It's a lot easier to watch television without looking at it. It's easier for me to consciously put down my phone for 90 to 180 minutes then it is for me to do so for however long I get stuck in a television binge.

Seattle is like this too. There seems to be one or two machines in a lot of bars, particularity the sleepy ones. There are a few dedicated pinball bars as well which are always fun to kill an hour or two in.

I move frequently enough that it would be a hassle. I would love if there were a way to make a smaller version that still felt worth playing.

I worked at another retail site. We were also looking at doing this with SEO purposes. Whatever they were using to generate the articles was picked up by Google I assume because those pages were never indexed. It was also a secret from the ten person team they had turning out copy for seo blog articles.

The crazy thing was that whole section of the site was getting maybe a thousand views per hour on a site that got seven figure hits a day. Most employees didn't even realize it existed. The amount of money burned on it attempting to chase SEO was crazy.

That'd work great until someone realizes there's all these bins of precollected trash all over the place. Perverse incentives.
