Well over 100 scientific articles describe immune system damage caused by COVID. This provides a direct causal scientific explanation of unprecedented outbreaks of many other diseases.
The "normalization" narrative is casting around for speculative explanations. Ignore them.

Get yourself a tasty box of Time Loops for breakfast! With that lingering taste of inevitability to start your day over and over again!
Time Loops! Because it's always breakfast time!

I just picked up my Christmas tree from Ikea, it's going to be a long night.

@Nifflas@mastodon.gamedev.place my dreams are vivid, creative, and full of continuity, many times not even involving me at all. The amount of things I could project from that could be nigh limitless
On the downside it wouldn't let me turn any of them into short stories

A desperate plea into the world: does anyone have a single ball (or part ball) of Woolcraft Harvest Chunky in the green (444) colourway?
Mum has finally knit a sweater after years of convincing her that she can... and she's hit yarn chicken before finishing the neckband, and the yarn is now out of stock everywhere. If I could purchase from someone's stash I would be eternally grateful.
UPDATE 1: we’ve found it! Thanks to @vulgalour for finding a shop still listing some in stock.
2: no yarn!
@deejvalen frankly I'm surprised I never heard about access to closed species being marketed as NFTs
@ifixcoinops There's a certain irony in that means they missed the one nice innovation inkjets got for tasks that still necessitate them
Brother really is what I'd go for in a heartbeat if I were getting a laser though
re: CW: Dragon transformation
@Rhaeloth You know what, sure, I can pull double duty. It's not like anything goes wrong if I mix the wands up at that point!

I find that the concept of enshittification has really helped my facility designs for ShadowRun.
I tend to over engineer mega corporate defenses, but if I then go through a process of figuring out where costs could be cut, it significantly improves the playability and the immersion.
Who can cover two job roles at once? Who hasn’t been replaced because of the hiring freeze? What systems have not received regular maintenance?
Open question for people who make art prints, stickers, etc. at home: is there an entry-level inkjet/inktank printer you'd recommend? I've been sitting on getting one together with my sister for producing stickers on, and I realize now's as good of a time as any. 
Bonus points if it has native support in Linux. I know Brother is good about that, but I don't think their ink tanks are refillable in the least, which is a pity
@ReyTracing Holy crap, I'm amazed it ran at all with a partially-inserted stick

@trysdyn Ahhh. Still, I've heard many reasons already to avoid AP development, as much as I'd love to see randomizers for some other games
Granted, I'm starting to wonder if I'm burning out on randomizers themselves, but that's another subject entirely
@trysdyn oh, this is AP in particular? Lovely. Everything I've heard about AP has certainly made me reticent to touch the dev side with a 10 ft. pole, myself. This just takes the cake

Rant about Discord eating the open internet
Discord is a communication tool. It's for chatting and voice calls during gaming sessions with friends, like TeamSpeak before it. That's its main use-case!
Using it for anything more than that is just you making things harder for yourself and everyone else
Everything you do on Discord is invisible to the open internet and not crawlable by search engines and thus not discoverable to anyone not joined on your server
It's going against everything that makes the internet itself useful in the first place: free flow of information

Rant about Discord eating the open internet
I hate this trend of everything needing to be on fucking #Discord
Fuck your little private treehouse club that’s badly managed and barren because you learned the hard way community management is a full-time job too much to handle for a single person
Use better, open tools ffs

Rant about Discord eating the open internet
Wikis are useful because it's open to everyone
GitHub/GitLab is useful because it allows everyone to view what the code does, what issues are already reported and provide fixes
NexusMods is useful as a one-stop-shop for every mod for every game ever
Discord is none of that
@trysdyn step 7 (optional): remove dependency on the grounds of the maintainers being abusive, self-defeating pricks
