I can only speak for how it shows up on Mastodon, but over there any hashtags we try and add here just show up as plain text and don’t show in the actual tag feed, so it does nothing for discoverability.

UK answer: city 100% no question.

Being able to actually get places and do things and have people to do those things with, I don’t even know how a small town could ever compare. Grew up in one, currently living in another one, both crap.

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don’t have to.

!nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works is for exactly this!

Rock and stone, my friend ⛏

I’m still using the v1 headset but have to admit this would probably tip me over into upgrading.

Shoutout to !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world for saving us when Liftoff went under.

This sounds mint and I’m sad I’m too solodev to make it.

OP may have made a tactical error asking this on the internet

If it’s a long complicated surname you can’t go wrong with a short simple first name. I’m gonna throw Sam into the ring, after our lord and saviour Samwise.

We didn’t get tickets for the actual live final, so had a party house rented a short drive out of Liverpool along with some friends for the Saturday night. Can confirm even the ones that started the night thinking they didn’t care about Eurovision were shocked by the end!

Loreen is a legend but that song was just not great. So many others deserved it over her and it’s a bit depressing that the jury members chosen have such consistently bland tastes every year.

But also, like, it’s a song contest. I may be obsessed, I may have an ever-growing group of US friends I’ve introduced to the spectacle, I may learn all the words to songs in languages I don’t understand and I may have sewn myself a special flag dress for Liverpool. But it’s a song contest, I’m not actually furious about it like some people were 😅

Thank you! I’m really proud of it so far 🙂

It’s just a really simple hex-based city builder. Very minimal, barely even a game really. Suitable first project for a solo dev I’m hoping!

(If you’re on Mastodon I post, among other things, updates on it here)

That sounds so fun! I’ve had dancing on my list for ages but sadly can’t find any groups doing anything around here. One day!

Been a decent year for my bucket list! I managed to tick off:

• get married
• go to Eurovision
• go on a cruise

Also started work on my first “real” video game, been learning how to make them as a hobby since 2020. Releasing that sometime next year will be another thing ticked off the list!

We have had a lot of crap stuff happen as well though (health stuff and whatnot) and it’s just generally been a very stressful and disrupted year so I’ll be glad to see the back of it despite all the good that happened.

I have special sewing scissors, AND I have special haircutting scissors, as well as us having just regular everyday scissors of course. Can confirm after a couple of “incidents” my husband is now very very careful to pick up the right ones!

I don’t think there’s such a thing, there’s just the era when you’re discovering a load of exciting new stuff and then (for most people) all the other eras where you’re not.

You can fix this by, you know, seeking out new music on purpose instead of becoming the typical old man yelling at cloud.

(70s were still shite, though)

That does sound like me!

Interface is telling me you have two replies but won’t let me see them so if this is a repeat, apologies! But !imadethis@lemm.ee is already an active thing, probably don’t need two :D
