There are mods and cheats for this game already—and they even run on Linux. I turn 50 next month: though I’m still playing, I don’t have as much time for gaming as I used to and my reflexes aren’t what they were. I haven’t entirely removed the challenge with mods, but I feel no shame in tweaking this game to go easier on me and chew up less of my time as punishment for failure. I wish they had these as accessibility options built-in, but I’m fine with hacking it.

Anybody telling me I should “git gud” can pound sand: I’m already good at a bunch of things that get me a paycheck. I play games so I can relax and be terrible at something for fun. I’m certainly not playing for bragging rights.

It’s just alt-hyphen on Mac. I use it all the time

You can transfer following / follows between Mastodon accounts. You cannot currently transfer posts

IMO, that tool probably doesn’t exists mainly because it’d be a thankless pain in the ass.

In general, unless you’re self-hosting Mastodon, you probably mean “my Mastodon account on someone’s server”. And that “someone’s server” probably has some moderation rules which differ significantly from Twitter. So, re-posting a bunch of tweets (i.e. “transferring”) to someone’s server can get hairy. Maybe some or all of your past stuff isn’t copacetic with the new server - but who wants to re-litigate a sudden influx of old posts?

So, IMO, whoever writes (or uses) a tool to copy over a bunch of Twitter posts to any arbitrary Mastodon server is probably going to get yelled at a lot.

Yeah, totally. I’d also love to see like a rack of those for rent, every few blocks in my city. That’d be near perfect

Yeah, I’m a weirdo with a cargo e-bike. Love it, except when it rains or snows.

I’d love a sub-$20k street legal EV that skips the entertainment system and most other features. Just give me a weatherproof cabin with comfortable seats and a modest cargo capacity for groceries and small appliances. I’m only ever going to drive it for at most an hour around town and back. Maybe listen to a podcast from my phone. Stick solar panels on the roof and it’ll probably always be topped off for how infrequently I drive. I’ll rent something if I take a longer trip.

That’s not a reasonable thing to expect to have to do while driving. Sounds like the “you’re holding it wrong” of cars

Good gif but wow is that a disturbing URL
