<< /* Honestly, I don’t think that the link itself is being filtered.
If they wanted to stop people from using Assets as an image host,
they could just remove it from the image host list. I think that it's
picking up on a false positive.

Good news: The forums is back

Bad news: assets.scratch.mit.edu/get_image is possibly in the filter

EDIT: They removed the mobile view as well :(

I am making an ongoing list of week names, and I just discovered that I can share it as a webcal link. However, as I initially intended the calendar as a private-use project, I have doubts about sharing it.

I just got back into my Minecraft Dungeons file. After handling two daily missions, I managed to do a Tower run up to the second boss floor. On this week’s Tower generation, the first boss floor has the Tempest Golem, which is an awesome, satisfying and completely balanced battle*, but the second boss floor had the Corrupted Cauldron, who, in my opinion, is VERY unbalanced.

*this is not sarcasm

It’s terrifying how much a website’s appearance can change if you let a system font take over. As a macOS Firefox user currently using Windows 10 Firefox, the changes are very noticeable, to say the least.

You know what’s even more embarrassing than having a super vivid dream, then forgetting to log it? Having a super vivid dream, then neglecting to log it because you already “logged” it during the dream.

I really want to do something productive with my collection of runic languages. My first shot in the dark is a poem about a bovine path. I’m sure you can infer the rest.
