Gonna start using “vegetate” now whenever I want express desire for total nothingness.

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 29 points 7 months ago

Goblin mode, 1930s style

"Mmm can't make it tonight, I have plans."

The plans:

See, things didn't start with Reddit or even with Usenet. This kind of stuff has always been with us, it just gets easier to see as tech progresses.

Samesies. Gonna pull a submarine until January, nothing but art and zaza.

Edit: included "games" under "art":))

[–] koper@feddit.nl 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

But is it going to be quite alright and proper? 🧐

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Until M.K. arrives

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

In terms of "content," most certainly! Both aspects!:))

In terms of activity, I've been looking forward to some alone time for a couple of years now, so it's perfection incarnate.

If this was a reference, I missed it completely!=))

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

hell yea

making games or playing games?

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Playing vidya, continuing to write my cyberpunk-y D&D campaign/epic (which will most likely devolve into something completely different 30 minutes into actually playing it, but it is what it is!:)) )

That, and I REALLY need to practice playing the bass, get back in the groove.

JB is 100% inviting every sex worker and drug dealer they know

I envy all of them

The more things change, they don't change much

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’ll be whoopee. My partner and I have been very lax on that (depression?) but we plan to get all fucked up on drugs and get nasty. Stupid holidays.

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

stay safe and fuck mcnasty style!

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

FDR is in office. The Social Security Act is signed
Worst of the Dust Bowl heat wave. 109℉ in Chicago
The Labor Day hurricane, a category 5, hits the Florida Keys
The Helena earthquake hits at 6.5 in Montana.

Rough year. No wonder everyone sounds like the COVID-19 lockdown.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

99° F (37° C) in Chicago last summer was a catastrophe. And there was even air conditioning which took the edge off after trudging through sidewalks that had begun to stick to my shoes. I cannot even imagine a 1930s 109° F (43° C).

[–] JillyB@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago

Probably people just died

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Catch up on Parchesi? Like he's misses some big developments on it?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago

Probably some big changes in the meta that semester.

[–] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Great Depression Core

Modern Depression, retro ascetic.
