@prologic@twtxt.net what is the exact syntax neeed for threads to work in the subject, e.g. will (#tsvhqdq) do it? The whole … (#tsvhqdq) thing seems like a bit of overkill. Too many characters.

one problme I’m seeing already is that the “micro” part is loosing out. Things are routinely getting longer than 140 characters

This morning I had this really weird notion of building a generative podcast complete with musical interludes and asemic speech using a speech synthesizer. It’d be interesting to have “interviews” with two distinct vocal characters. #halfbakedideas

!txtvm, a text-based toy VM, used to run tiny domain-specific bytecode programs using only printable ascii characters. #halfbakedideas

the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas

a 6.5 bit fantasy computer, whose bytecode representation can be represented entirely as printable ascii characters. The first 6 contain standard data space, with the 7th bit used to represent one of 32 values. #halfbakedideas

I’m not even using a real client, I made a (poorly written) bash script to write messages to a file and exit if it’s over 140 characters.

What Does It Mean To Player Character? - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKY1ORCSICY

OK I can’t fault the DomeKano anime for dropping a younger girl who looks almost exactly like Hina & is tsundere from a scene that would be in the last episode but if she doesn’t become a repeat character I will be shocked

conspiracy theory: all of Rob Liefeld’s characters are canonically yuurei, because they don’t have feet

The ‘writing criticism’ curator wrote a review of MfoM where they claimed that the characters were flat but the plot was engaging. I consider this a success, since I was worried about plot (since I don’t ‘get’ it).

I’d like to play a horror game that’s lit like Suspiria is during its most extreme moments: backgrounds & characters in bright monochrome washes, a cypher of harsh shadows, as though lit by single-point neon.

Are there sports video games that, RPG-like, allow a user-created character to progress by getting access to better personal trainers & medical support by winning games while in constant fear of breaking their legs?

One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a ‘possession’ metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn’t go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I’ll have the player be a possessing-spirit.

Is it gauche to name the hero of a show Yuta or does it only become gauche once a different character makes a Yuta / Yusha pun? Asking for a friend. (Gridman / Chuu2byo)

SisterWriter is so weirdly lazy at times. Like, just rotating a cut 90 degrees and doing a static panning shot… Though, the characters are constantly off model and rarely animated or properly posed, so that might be for the best…

004.00 POST: btw, TWTXT has a character limit of 140 characters per message, good excuse for numbering tweets!

@sdk@codevoid.de as for the 140 character limit. I swear I read somewhere that the limit was really more of a suggestion than anything else. I don’t think any of the clients I’ve looked out enforce it. As long as it’s on a single line, no one seems to care too much.

Bad idea of the day: a sanrio-branded sentient shoelace character who is nervous about fraying named Aglets-ko

Bad idea of the day: a retelling of Dracula where Van Hellsing and Renfield are merged into the same character

So, the Pseudomonarchia is like A Thing in anime, isn’t it… Using goetic demons as comic relief characters is something I see occasionally but it wasn’t until You’re Being Summoned, Azazel! that I realized that it wasn’t just like 3 guys doing it.

@kas@enotty.dk If i’m reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5 correctly, the character ‘:’ is explicitly allowed

@dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I thought about propsing “There is no maximum length of a message. Clients should show at least 140 characters of a tweet after collapsing the mentions.” Or something like that.

Really liked A Closed and Common Orbit, nice to read a scifi story about character development! Next book: Arkwright by Allen Steele

Say hello to @bullseye@domgoergen.com! A daily bot that counts your daily average deviation from 140 characters per tweet and declares winners and loosers.

@quite@lublin.se I think you’re missing a character for the Klezmer Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQCHgTL0LFI

Sometimes you just need the 20 additional characters… :)

@krt@krt.marmaro.de I actually like it when tweets are short, but insisting on 140 characters and cutting the tweet is a little bit too strict.

@krt@krt.marmaro.de You can use more than 140 characters. It seems twtxt does not limit the number of characters to 140. Neither does txtnix. Twet?

Thanks @kdave@kdave.github.io for the new default colors. And colored hashtags are also a thing now. And text wrapping at 76 characters. #txtnix

It’s so much easier to stay under the 140 character limit when vim is showing you the column you’re in.
