On occasion, we here do a thread of random positivity, where we start with a thematic prompt and talk about things that are enjoyable just for the fun of it. Past examples:

We have also had a couple threads of educational-resource recommendations. These are marginally more serious, since they’re about gathering actually good explanations of things that sneerable people like to pontificate ignorantly on. But I’ll list them here because learning is fun:

Feel free to comment in the old threads and/or suggest new ones in the comments here.

    I’ve been learning how to make video games (exercise in remembering there are things I love about programming and it’s not all awful) and I got an attack animation on an enemy working :)

    Haven’t been this into something since I was a young kid making physics simulations back in uni. Turns out software can actually be loads of fun when you’re not just processing bank transactions and shit.
