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.

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.

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).

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

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

[-] koper@feddit.nl 13 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Until M.K. arrives

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days 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 4 days ago

hell yea

making games or playing games?

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days 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.
