I am part of a Steam Family Group and I noticed that there was a series of games called The Room, so I decided to check it out. They are point-and-click puzzle games that require you to unlock drawers, open books, solve puzzles in order to obtain items required for other puzzles. You have an eyepiece that can be used to uncover clues, solve mini puzzles and explore other dimensions There are 4 games in the series, each one evolving from the last. There is deep lore within the games, which I wasn’t all into, but it may be for others. Well worth it if you want to kill a few hours. I got them knocked out within a weekend. They are cheap enough (less than €20 currently) for the bundle of 4 games. Available on Steam Also on iOS, Android and Switch (Only the first 2 games though) Walkthrough of the first game (Visuals upgraded in later games): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N9YeVhc3hI

Anyone else listen to A State of Trance? I used pretty have it on repeat weekly a couple of years ago … I tend to dip in and out of it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhqwVyH2VU

To update: Techcrunch is reporting that BCNY was acquired for $610 million.

What a better way to spend a Saturday night than to watch a video about the only subway crossing in Japan. About 10-min walk from Ueno station in Tokyo. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2495721620#map=19/35.714174/139.780753 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FafWbBOk6c

He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.

As we start out Caint, it would be cool to recognise anyone that joins within the first few months. So from now until December 31st, 2025, anyone who joins will automatically receive a “Mochóirí” label. Mochóirí is the Irish for ‘Early Bird’. Anyone who has signed up prior to this announcement has been granted the label. Share this post! Click the ⋮ and click Copy Permalink and paste it on social media. On the Fediverse?

I have been listening to the discography of Macross 82-99 that I bought on Bandcamp And I have ended up listening to ミュン・ファン・ローン (Macross Plus) more times that I wish to admit. It’s so good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3W7e2cOX_U

Accessibility is not only a necessity, but in certain cases a requirement - https://nda.ie/accessibility/european-accessibility-act I am not fully sure if Caint requires following the EAA, but I would prefer to have Accessibility options available, not to comply with any laws… because we will eventually have users that would require them. Now, as this is currently a 1-man-band, it may not be possible to implement everything right away, but it is something that can be worked on. As noted previously, there are various different looks to Caint, that may be more suitable for certain users. See https://caint.ie/topic/11/change-the-look-of-caint for more info. AltText for uploaded images are already here. Once the site is more established, and rules are going to be eventually drawn up, I will ensure that AltText becomes a requirement. Whenever you upload an image, you will see the following text:  After the file extension (png) and before the closing bracket ()), you can add AltText, by typing "This is AltText" So that it looks like this:  If there is anything else that should be adjusted to improve accessibility, please reply and let me know.

@james said in Should Caint have a Political section?: is this an ideal world? Certainly not. It would be boring if that was the case, haha!
