💬 Subreply Sublevel goes all in on brutalist design. The style is extended to all design elements on the site. Noto Sans is used because it supports 500+ languages, more than any system font.

Chris Gower I like it. Keep up the work :)

Chris Gower Hi Lucian. Yup, i took the photo and wrote the blog post, so i guess that qualifies me to post the photo. i posted it to spreadsome festive cupcake based cheer.

Chris Gower Back for my annual visit to Sub Level. Hope everyone is having fun preparing for the big day... or casually ignoring it. :) Here is a picture of some cupcakes!

Mark Dain I've been watching Westworld lately ( [no-ssl] imdb.com/title/tt0... ) it's a show about a Wild West 'theme park' where guests can do anything they want. The hosts are actually semi-conscious robots that look indistinguishable from humans. So far I'm into episode 3 and very hooked.

Chris Gower The ending will blow your mind...

Mark Dain The biggest improvement as of late is email notifications. Should hopefully keep you coming back more than bi-annually :) Also, private messages.

Chris Gower Oh woo! I have noticed the email notifications, its a good reminder to come back and check replies. :)

💬 Subreply Hello again. No, no links are available to you. You have to come here more often in order to enable links. Just kidding... or not.

Chris Gower Hah! I'll put it in my new years resolution to come on here more :)

Mark Myerson Well it might be more than two years old, but the Samsung S4 is still a great phone. Just bought a manufacturer-refurbished model for under PS200.

Chris Gower I would still purchase one now. I do like Samsung phones, even if they are inclined to self-combust.

Chris Gower Hello Sublevel. Just making my bi-annual return to my favourite social network. Can we now post links? Have seen a couple of imgur links in my travels.

Martijn At bi-annual posting you are doing better than Justin over at twitter.com/jpbimmer

Chris Gower So out of curiosity I downloaded Pokemon Go when it was still unavailable in the UK. I played it for a bit, but realised that it struck an addictive side of my personality that I knew existed. Had I continued, I would be a jobless madman running around waving his phone at imaginary creatures, babbling to himself. Does anyone here play it? Would you admit it?

Mark Dain Some of my friends are mad about it. I've been out with them and turned to say something only to see they're now across the road, under a tree, trying to catch a Pokemon. I got the game the day it came out in the UK and since then I've mostly been unable to play due to server issues. When I have, it's been a novelty but for me it's not that addicting. Maybe it's because all I'm doing right now is walking around to hatch the eggs that are in the incubator.

Martijn I would play it instantly if my phone supported it. I would probably also travel around the country on my weekends if it could net me a more diverse number of them. As it is, I am replaying LeafGreen.

Nkrs I'm waiting for a J2ME version of the game.

😀 Tom Hey! Overall doing okay. You?

Chris Gower Good thanks.

Mark Dain Welcome back! I'm going back to work after a long Independance Day weekend. Hoping to hit the gym after work.

Martijn Still here and still active is how I am! Always nice to see someone return here

😀 Tom Hey! Overall doing okay. You?

Martijn I am extremely tempted to buy a Chrome Cast. Less than a week since leaving home and that is the thing I am missing the most?!
