"But any attempt to simulate an economy risks also simulating economics, which is what we call it when millions of individual, rational decisions act together to create utter madness on a grand scale. Now, unfortunately, economics has happened to Planet Zoo."

if you make small games, trainwrecks, alt games, and are weirded out by big mastodon instances, check out gamemaking.social, a nice corner of fedi made for game making and adjacent things and stuff and also the admin is super awesome and is on top of blocking bad places

It's Hour 5 of my #GreatNanoWrimoPromptCall Toot-a-thon!
👋
I seem to spend a lot of my stories with people looking up information: in Edally Academy, they spend most of a book in the Library trying to find a hidden treaty. In Aunt Family (as I mentioned), they spend a lot of time reading the diaries of old Aunts for family History.
📚
And then there is Science!, a mad-science setting where they have several facilities aimed at discovering new things (human-plant hybrids, for one).
⚗️

Every -thon does better with premium content (no tote bags, sorry), so I’m going to post hourly #MicroFic from my TootPlanet series/universe, named for my home instance, https://tootplanet.space/about. I'll use the hashtag #GNPC

(These are in the form of Captain's & Explorers' logs)

AND if you ask a question or pose an action the logs could reflect, I will post a toot of fic in answer.

You may get written into the universe so feel free to create a TootplanetFic persona😉

I had a question about #Knitting I learned about the Norwegian Purl (which sounds like something I want to learn as a continental) but it raised the question do Norwegians knit the regular continental way, or is there a "Norwegian Knit" that no one talks about?

Here's the video by the way

And on its backside, it cracks nuts!

Yesterday, I spontaneously bought a mushroom. It is round, cute, and decorative!

All right, trying again, but better!

If anyone is in the market for a house, or wants to pool together with some other people for a house, in the $200-300k range: my parents need to sell theirs. Southern NYS.

The house is two story, 4 bedroom, has its own well, 14 acres (mostly trees, a few swampy areas), 10min drive minimum to things, no public transit.

As the home I grew up in, I want it to go to people, not developers.

If you are at all interested, DM me with your questions!

Does anyone here have the problem of stopping an interesting activity? Closing a book/fanfic/social media/something and moving to a different task?

If yes, do you have any coping strategies for that?

I'm running out of ideas and nothing really helps. 😩

Here it is, high res print-ready PDF for you to download, print, and colour <3
