Ok, so I'll have my regular little review like usual in Saturday's TV post, but I enjoyed episode 31 so much that I have to ramble more about it a bit now.

Incredibly detailed spoilers below!

Our third check-in point for Small Web September is at hand!

We're now on the home stretch - but there's still lots of time to play around with your small web project(s), so if you're just joining us, welcome! We hope you enjoy taking part and chatting with everyone in the comments.

The theme of this week's check-in is communities! There are lots of cool groups, forums, mailing lists, and social media movements for or adjacent to the small/indie web - I'm posting in one right now! These can be really excellent places to find like-minded hobbyists, share tips and resources, and take part in challenges and events (again, like this one :D).

So, in the comments, share how you're doing with your small web project(s) and also where you like to spend time talking about the small web, if anywhere! I'm not going to too-rigidly define what counts as a "community", so if you think it counts, mention it here.

As a bonus discussion prompt: what is something you would love to see/join a community for (this one doesn't have to be small web-related!) but you haven't yet found one? Have you ever thought of starting it yourself?

As a reminder, this is the third of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on them, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide and all discussion is welcome. For our previous check-in post, head on over to Small Web September Check-In 2: Halfway House/Troubleshooting!

There'll be a longer gap than usual between this and our next (and final!) check-in, which will be posted on Tuesday 30th September, the last day of the challenge - so look out for it then!

Recently found out about this lovable anxiety-filled character named Tomoko from Watamote, being quite late to the entire series as it is. Went on sketching her face.

Recommendations from people I trust.

I have never heard of Shoji Morimoto nor his “Do-Nothing Rental Service” before, but a recs for his memoir "Rental Person Who Does Nothing" made it sound really interesting. It's an enjoyable read. Shoji Morimoto has a lot of keen observation about loneliness and social expectation.

Relevance to my current focus:

When I have just finished Piranesi, I wanted to read all the books like that. If I'm interested in philosophy introduction this week, my tbr list will explode with many relevant books.

Fannish Interest:

Aww, this book has a productive fandom/exchange rec post/fannish discusiion. Better check it out. I have picked up many books because of Yuletide.

Interesting Cover:

Eyecatching graphic design helps. For example, I like the cover of The Tangleroot Palace

Written by an Author I like:

If I like a book, I'll check out their other works

Fitness Youtube channels I watched this week:

Pilates

I like these because they have beginner friendly at home workout videos that can be done in 30 min or less. The intruction is clear and to the point.

No equipment home workout

They provide a lot no equipment sitting/standing workouts good for home and office workout

Ingredients

1 container of natto, room temperature
1 bowl of cooked white rice:
1 piece of egg
1 packet of sauce

Instruction:

Cook the rice in a rice cooker or pot according to your usual method.
Traditionally, the egg is served raw. For people with health and nutrient concern like me, boiled eggs or poached eggs also go well.
Open the natto container and stir the natto. Pour them into the rice and egg bowl.
Add the sauce that usually comes with the natto container

Just the one ROM this time. Preference Settings allow players to add two extra digits to the score display so you can make your score even higher, although good luck with that, this game's hard!

"OSHA violation? The hell you talkin' about, pally? Look, we've got a bit of a problem on the job site, so maybe you can help. Ol' Workman over there- long story how he got that name- is a lil' stranded on one of the parts of the building we ain't finished yet. We got a whole bunch of spare girders to place over there though- straight ones, ones that let 'im walk down to go lower and walk up to go higher, that sorta thing. So, you place the girders and he'll walk across 'em to get to safety on the other side. We only got 15 pieces to spare though, you go over and we ain't gonna be able to build this orphanage we're workin' on. Workman really needs to work on his walk though, 'cause he'll change his walking speed constantly. Yell at him to reverse course and he'll double-back, but he ain't so good at listenin' to instructions so he'll only do that so many times. Oh, and watch out for those cranes, we don't wanna knock the poor guy out. Alright buddy, get to it, I gotta go grab my lunch, good luck!"

Oh yes, a vintage Taito sickos classic! Steel Worker is a fascinating early puzzle game, which brings to mind Lemmings of all things, even though this predates it by over a decade, although it doesn't play like it at all. Place the pieces to direct Workman to where he needs to go, being careful not to build into the pillars on the far left and far right or in the middle without connecting them to the walkway properly, and get him safely to the other side. It's that simple, and while the random elements will screw you over at points- when Workman speeds up, he absolutely books it so you need to react quickly, and the two cranes in the middle will be a huge pain to navigate unless you time things very carefully and maybe use a Reverse or two- you kinda want to go straight back in and play it again, just one more try, you can get further next time. This is one I hadn't heard of before it was dumped for MAME and it's a really interesting look at early arcade puzzle design, plus the presentation is pretty charming (a lot of people noting it looks like a ZX Spectrum game, and I mean they're not wrong) so I'd definitely recommend this one!
