Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Saw this on Mastodon and had a laugh. Not sure if it's real, but it's funny.

I think this is real. Was originally made several years ago.

Helsinki isn't so bad in November, actually. I'm in Oulu, wayyy further up north. Starting to get into the oof territory. I would probably feel stronger about this if I was not mildly drunk.

Yes but are you also mildly nude?

As far as my arms go, yes.

The definition of kalsarikännit means being drunk on the couch with your underpants on. I have my underpants. And jeans. And t-shirt. 'Cause winter is coming. And...

Fff sshh

OK not bad yet, but it reminds me I need to finally get Frostpunk off my Steam backlog this winter, been too long. ...What were we talking about? [falls face first on the phone with nose on the submit button]

Frostpunk in the winter is great. I first played it in North Dakota during the 2019 polar vortex when the windchill got down to -50 degrees freedom units (-45 Celsius) with my new game-syncing lights. As the in-game temp got colder and ice crackled across the screen, the lights would brighten white to match and I became more and more aware of the cold creeping into my room through the house’s insulation. It was super immersive. I hope you get the chance to play it this winter!

That's super cool! I've never played it. How long does it take to complete?
