I’ve heard people mention Wafrn as a Tumblr alternative, but haven’t checked it out myself.

Heil five!

!sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz is one of my favourites so far

Very moody. I like it.

Oh yes, I quite enjoy Concept. To me, Codenames, Concept and Haiclue all have that fundamental ‘make a clue with extremely limited options and get people to guess them’ framework, they just differ in how they implement those limitations (one word for Codenames, limited word pool for Haiclue, and conceptually building the clue for Concept)

Ayy, Rudy!

This is the video that led me to actually start taking a hard look at social media (I was already off of Instagram, but that was almost unconscious in that I just started loathing the app), and led me down the rabbit hole that eventually led me to Lemmy!

Inb4 they start making tiktoks about ignoring the calming music

Thanks!

No Dramione? 🤨

He was (and still is) my favourite part of Foundation, especially because his character is original to the show, but his portrayal definitely adds to it.

Even if it’s just links, taking the time to find them yourself and post them is a useful step, since relevant doesn’t always mean insightful or interesting.

Also, you’re not completely tied to links. Make/ask for recommendations, life pro tips, etc.

Every round, there are four shared words, from which one will be assigned to you. The point of the game is to assemble a clue that will make the other players pick that particular word out of the four. I said assemble and not write because there is a limited pool of 15 word cards that you have to arrange at least two of to form a clue. Pictured above is the clue I would personally give if the word were picnic (though in this screenshot the assigned word is net).

The clue therefore ends up, in practice, quite interestingly phrased at times, which is why the game is called that (Haiku + clue). You get points each time someone guesses your word correctly, and each time you guess someone’s word correctly.

This is such a well written piece, it’s closer to a serious article than a blogpost

It’s a type of short form poetry originating in Japanese, which consists of three lines, of 5, 7, 5 syllables each.

For example:

in dark autumn nights / dew and the new bamboo shoots / reaching out to moon

Anyone who’d like to explore haiku (through writing or reading) is welcome in the community

I was right there as well. I saw creators I trust putting out stuff talking about the state of social media today (Technology Connections on YouTube in particular) and that was around when I started diving back into bluesky, then after a little more reading around, mastodon and lemmy. Never looked back after that.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t end the same way

I was worried they were going to make statements about hiring directors with a vision. Phew.

I can’t shake the feeling of it being a tie, but I like the aesthetic overall.

In No Country For Old Men, they mention this killing in a throwaway line (it involves contract killing and stars Woody Harrelson)
