About 8 years ago I got out of the shower and was cleaning the water out of my right ear (as I usually did) and I must have done it wrong that time, as when I went to lay down that night I heard this very annoying high pitch sound from that ear. I might have looked around to see if that sound was coming from something (maybe from my computer, other electronics, or something outside). But no, it was from my ear.

Took about 2-3 years for me to be able to completely tune it out when there’s silence. Sometimes I miss being able to hear nothing when it’s quiet, but now I have ringing in both ears so it’s really easy to ignore it.

It might suck for a while until your brain is able to tune it out, but it’ll be easier someday.

I’m not them but…

Outer Wilds is a gem of a 3D first-person indie game. Other games might have you find required items so you can progress (like Pokemon or Zelda games), but in this game it’s all about the knowledge you learn while playing (like Tunic). You explore, learn, and puzzle solve. By looking up anything about the game, or by looking up a solution to a puzzle, you essentially lock yourself out of experiencing that piece of content. It’s all about the journey.

It’s a game you can only really play once, but it is so worth it. It’s my favorite video game and I wish I could forget everything about it so I can play it again for the first time.

I’ve been meaning to change my website from Hugo to Zola. It has a few good themes to choose from and it’s easy to set up. Hugo has way more themes though.

You might want to check out a lot of SSGs to see what themes each has, and pick the one you like the most.

even when binging I watch the voyager intro every few episodes, I love the music too much

I hope they don’t make that update to windows 10 as well 😭 control panel feels faster to use than windows settings

I’m not sure how they implemented it either but it must be tricky (or maybe it’s easy to implement but hard to make it fast?) if Hugo still doesn’t have support for it. I did a search in the Zola repo on github for “backlink” and these are the files that showed up.

You have to link pages using the Zola way (starting with a @/), and all pages and posts have to live under the /content/ folder. So if you had page1.md and page2.md and wanted to link from one to the other, in page2 you’d have [Page 1](@/page1.md). On page2 you’d see the normal link, and on page1 you’d see that page2 links to it.

Does it / will it support internal backlinks? That’s the reason why I switched from Hugo to Zola.

I have pihole as well and I find it doesn’t block the promoted posts / reddit ads on mobile. But revanced fixes that.

I use obsidian and syncthing, although I use it for just myself; as long as you aren’t editing the same document at once it should work. If there is a file conflict, nothing will be deleted, just the conflicted file with have the word “conflict” in the name. So you can do a text compare between the original and that file to see what needs to be merged.

Syncthing is self hosted, obsidian has desktop and android apps. You can exclude certain files or folders from being synced on a certain device with syncthing. Obsidian uses markdown so that might take some getting used to, but the plus side being all your notes will be text so you aren’t locked in to using obsidian.

You can also use another markdown / text editor as well, maybe one that supports wiki links for obsidian compatibility but obsidian works with the markdown link format as well.

I find I’m mostly okay without a guide in the dungeons, but in the overworld to find the dungeons and items, I need it 😭

I’ve been playing the first Legend of Zelda game. I’m surprisingly having fun, but I think it’s due to save states. The combat in the game is brutal.

It’s inspired me to try making a 2D open world game in Godot.

This looks very promising, I’ll check it out!

I’m bad at zombies but I play with friends that are much better than me and we have fun. I’m still learning how to get a good train of zombies going.

I guess this game is a time loop in the same way Hitman could be considered a time loop.

You unlocked a memory for me: I remember playing one of the games in the series, I think it was Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands because I think I played it on DS. I’ll check out a playthrough of Sands of Time, thank you!

I’ll have a look at 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, thank you!

Years ago I played Undertale and Pony Island and I love them both so much. I have a soft spot for 4th wall breaking games.

I’ve never heard of this mod before, but you’ve sold me on it! Thank you, I can’t wait to play it.

I played Deathloop before and I loved it, I need a sequel asap.

Thank you for the list! I see a few interesting games on there that I will look into more.

That sounds amazing, I’ve added it to my list. Thank you!

The premise to Three Minutes to Eight is interesting, I’ll check it out. Thank you!

I forgot about this one! I played it for an hour years ago, I need to find time to continue playing it.
