I've been over on this thread on /r/wordle where I'm still a mod. Whenever someone mentions that they use a canned sequence of words at the start of every game, I look into my research and find a set that's better in every way. It's fun to bring it up every now and then. Just because you can make 5 words with 25 different letters (like WALTZ VIBEX FJORD NYMPH GUCKS) doesn't make it a good idea.

Here in Ohio, FuncoLand and Electronics Boutique were the national game store chains in town until GameStop bought them both and took over their stores. Funco was known for their lists of trade-in values in magazines in the days before VGPC. Now it's come full circle and GameStop is turning some stores into the 90s FuncoLand stores they replaced.

I've only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.
Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I'm here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)

would've been fun if the local magazines were somewhat more active.
I originally chose Kbin/Mbin over Lemmy because of the added support for Mastodon-like posts, but it's still suffers from wonky early adopter stuff. I still rather like Mbin's interface more than Lemmy's defaults, though Lemmy's support for third party front ends is very cool. Whichever way you go, I'm happy that Mbin and Lemmy have access to all the same content. Mbin could grow more if some of a magazine's custom CSS could federate to other instances, or if it supported bots like Lemmy.
Oh dang, I'm gonna have to look into PieFed, though. That looks good! I'd like to see how my community looks, but I think a registered piefed.social user has to do this community lookup for federation to begin.

Task failed successfully. Lemmings will be lemmings. It's not whether you win or lose; it's how sassy you are. This was a fun experiment, anyway. I might try it again sometime. The lemmings GIF is from Disney's White Wilderness. It's staged. You know lemmings don't actually do this, right?
You now have a 1 in 176 chance of winning this without help, so I cheated and looked up the solution. Take it or leave it.

I think about this a lot. In my dreams, flying feels as natural as walking. Even crazy superpowers I invent and try for the first time work *exactly* as I expect because it's a dream and *everything* works as I expect. For a while, I even believed my lucid dream self was my true form and my waking body was just a less-than-authentic character I control in the real world. I now understand that dreams only feel more real than reality because dreams are 100% intuitive. Still, I can't help that being flightless still feels like a disability sometimes. I find myself craving the feeling of flying while I'm awake and unable to experience it.
