Biggest disadvantage of being Italian and over 50 is that most of my friends are at Italian and least over 40.
Biggest disadvantage of having Italian friends over 40 is that they're all married to some kind of minimalist aesthetics, whereby anything I try to do with #Wordrush graphics that's not in muted, pastel colors with the absolute minimum of fuss hits their "OH NO THAT'S WAY OVER THE TOP" opposition, and I'm not strong enough to fight against it.
My future is desaturated.
I need to work on a part of the mechanics (not sure about the cooldown position) and obviously layout etc, but here's a preview of one of those "new strategy options" for #Wordrush
Feedback very welcome (especially from the steering committee)!
Some notes about food when you can't taste any salt:
- green salad is tolerable
- crisps are an abomination unto Nuggan
- "veggie" crsps too
- "salt and vinegar" crisps are a crime
- cookies are so sweet it hurts
- cucumbers are fine
- pasta tastes like aminoacids
- ketchup/mayo/remoulade are mildly offensive
- fish fingers and the like are bearable
- halloumi is NASTY
(didn't try them all today, mind)
Will update with future horrors
For the third (maybe fourth?) time in the last couple years, I've lost the "salty" taste. I smell everything just fine, I taste eveyrthing else just fine.
Except salt.
I assure you: it's *genuinely* unpleasant. Like, you wouldn't believe how incredibly bad most food tastes without any salt at all.
(It *could* be a zinc deficiency symptom and I have a bunch of other related symptoms plus a potential cause, so it's realistic)

Scusa, devo chiedere: quale console è USA? L'ultima che mi ricordo è il colecovision ma mi sembra improbabile

@GustavinoBevilacqua yeah - I just saw something that looked suspiciously like an LLM dealing with currency conversion and I can't imagine the outcome.
Sounds great for Sam Altman, though.
If billionaires trust AI so much, they should let AI handle their offshore accounts.
Somebody's making onion soup downstairs and I keep on sniffing my armpits thinking OH GOD I SMELL TERRIBLE.
We're all debating AI - is it good, is it bad, etc.
I realized there's just one but if information we should need: rich people and bastards (yeah, venn that) are pushing for it.
That's all we need to know, really.
Una parte della mia progenie sta guardando Capitan Harlock, che mi faceva cacare quando ero piccino.
Posso felicemente confermare che il mio bambino interiore non ha cambiato opinione.
I never saw magpies in my life and this year I keep on seeing them in #berlin. Climate change or luck?
What the absolute fuck. I'm disgusted.
Move by Danish toymaker appears to reflect US pressure on inclusivity initiatives worldwide

Mio padre, novantenne, amputato e totalmente non autonomo, mi ha appena spiegato che non ha chiesto la pensione di invalidità perché "tanto sopravvive".
Non so come reagire.
Per dire: in Italia ci sono più o meno 15 milioni di persone che giocano ai videogiochi. Anche immaginando che siano perlopiù casual gamers, mi spiegato come mai hanno firmato solo in VENTICINQUEMILA?
Condividete, e condividete anche fuori da Masto!
Please please share and then sign - I can't believe gamers are happy to lose their games, they just don't know of this

@GustavinoBevilacqua immagino siano troppo pesanti per costruire una zattera quindi la mia prima scelta non va.
Se ne hai almeno tre puoi metterle sotto un bancale e usarle per trasportare massi atti a edificare una piramide.
Se ne hai solo due puoi montare delle solette su misura e farne due spassosi trampoli per sfilate.
A tua disposizione per mille altri strabilianti suggerimenti.
Dear #wordrush contributor, I don't know who you are (because itch.io wisely prevents me from knowing), but I know you are my friend.
Yesterday I mentioned how I believe client-side rendering to be less environmentally-friendly than SSR.
Now I just looked at dmesg and found that what prevents my laptop from suspending properly is Node.js (the `node` process, to be precise).
Coincidence?
I THINK NOT.
Dovremmo riconoscere la assoluta preveggenza di Guzzanti.

Correction: they didn't steal the package, simply delivered it to a neighbor.
Without leaving any kind of notice for us, nor allowing us to see that it had been delivered to a neightbor in the tracking, nor telling us "we have it as delivered to Random Neighbor" in one of the many, many calls.
I'm a little less angry but I'm still angry.
