So, “maybe” but “absolutely fucking yes.”

Me n the boys

Can I use it to warm up a sex toy? Asking for me.

Diablo 1. I have a hard time playing the game anymore, it’s super clunky, but the guitar music from the overworld fucking slaps

This looks amazing. I’m gonna wait for pgsql support, but you had me here: “Otherwise, if you sync using Nextcloud you can use the AntennaPods app and your podcasts will sync between Antennapod and Pinepods.”

The controller thing is goddam hilarious
